O efeıto das tendêncıas neofóbıcas e neofílıcas dos estudantes de gastronomıa e culınárıa sobre suas atıtudes em relação aos sabores de rua

The trends for food neophobia and food neophilia can affect people's attitudes toward new foods. In this context, different regional street foods they have never consumed before can also be an unusual food experience for people. Street foods, which are foods and beverages offered in public areas, reflecting the culinary culture of countries with a rich and different product range, may differ from region to region and even according to the distinct geographical location and seasonal characteristics of the same territory. This study reveals the effects of food neophobia and food neophilia tendencies of gastronomy and cookery students on their attitudes toward street foods. The study concluded that food neophobia and food neophilia trends were linearly and positively related to the attitudes toward street foods. However, significant differences were found in students' neophobia and neophilia tendencies and their attitudes toward street foods according to demographic characteristics. In addition, it was determined that the students continued to consume street foods even though they did not find them hygienic. On the other hand, the study revealed that the students had a neophilia tendency.Las tendencias de la neofobia alimentaria y la neofilia alimentaria pueden afectar las actitudes de las personas hacia los nuevos alimentos. En este contexto, diferentes comidas callejeras regionales que nunca han consumido antes también pueden ser una experiencia gastronómica inusual para las personas. Los alimentos callejeros, que son alimentos y bebidas ofrecidos en áreas públicas, que reflejan la cultura culinaria de países con una gama de productos rica y diferente, pueden diferir de una región a otra e incluso según la ubicación geográfica distinta y las características estacionales del mismo territorio. Este estudio revela los efectos de la neofobia alimentaria y las tendencias de neofilia alimentaria de los estudiantes de gastronomía y cocina en sus actitudes hacia los alimentos callejeros. El estudio concluyó que las tendencias de la neofobia alimentaria y la neofilia alimentaria estaban lineal y positivamente relacionadas con las actitudes hacia los alimentos callejeros. Sin embargo, se encontraron diferencias significativas en las tendencias de neofobia y neofilia de los estudiantes y sus actitudes hacia los alimentos callejeros de acuerdo con las características demográficas. Además, se determinó que los estudiantes continuaron consumiendo alimentos callejeros a pesar de que no los encontraban higiénicos. Por otro lado, el estudio reveló que los estudiantes tenían una tendencia a la neofilia.As tendências de neofobia alimentar e neofilia alimentar podem afetar as atitudes das pessoas em relação a novos alimentos.

Propose of this study is evaluation of effect on ball driving and passing applied isometric strength with dynamic strength training in young baseball players. This study participated 14 male (mean age: 16.75 ± 0.4, height: 176.0 ± 5.6 cm, weight: 71.6 ± 14.4 kg, fitness age: 3.5 ± 0.8 years) was separated homogeneous 7 person group. Both groups was trained 3 days a week 2 hours throughout 8 weeks. While one of the groups doing isometric strenght training, other performed training with dynamic strenght training method. Effect of both training was evaluated by baseboll dribbling and passing tests. According to non-parametric method statistical analsis of the groups among themselves calculated Wilcoxon test and intergroups analysis calculated  Mann Whitney U test. Significant difference, statistically valued at p: 0,018, is found in the valuation between dribble pre and posttest of Isometric strength group. Significant difference statistically valued at p: 0,026 , is found in the valuation between pass pre and posttest. Significant difference, statistically valued at p: 0,026, is found in the valuation between dribble pre and posttest of dynamic strength group. Significant difference statistically valued at p: 0,017, is found in the valuation between pass pre and posttest. While there is found p:0,016 valued significant difference in dribble test, there isn’t found p:0,304 valued significant difference in pass test. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı genç basketbolculara uygulanan izometrik kuvvete karşın dinamik kuvvet antrenmanlarının top sürme ve pas isabetine etkisinin incelenmesi olarak belirlenmiştir.Çalışmaya katılan 14 erkek sporcu (yaş 16.75 ± 0.4 yıl, boy 176.0 ± 5.6 cm, beden ağırlığı 71.6 ± 14.4 kg, antrenman yaşı 3.5 ± 0.8) homojen 7 şer kişilik gruba ayrılmıştır. Her iki gruba 8 hafta boyunca haftada 3 gün 2 saatlik antrenman yaptırılmıştır. Gruplardan biri izometrik kuvvet antrenmanı yaparken, diğeri dinamik kuvvet antrenman yöntemi ile antrenman uygulamıştır. Her iki antrenmanın etkisi basketbol dribling ve pas performans testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Grupların kendi aralarındaki istatistiksel analizi parametrik olmayan yönteme göre Wilcoxon testi ile gruplar arası analiz ise Mann Whitney U testi ile hesaplanmıştır.İzometrik kuvvete ve dinamik kuvvet antrenmanlarının son testleri karşılaştırıldığında dribling testinde izometrik kuvvet antrenmanı lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunurken (p<0.05), pas testi karşılaştırmasında ise anlamlı farklılık bulunamamıştır (p>0.05). Bu sonucun izometrik antrenman yönteminin, kuvvet artırımında etkili olduğu ve top sürme performansını yükselttiği söylenebilir. Pas performansında ise matematiksel olarak gelişim olsa da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre iki antrenman yönteminin de yakın değerler vermesi bu antrenmanların performansı arttırma amacı ile kullanılabilir yöntemler olduğu düşünülebilir

A Case of Primary Pulmonary Lymphoma

Primary pulmonary lymphoma, which is constitutes only 0,5% of all lung tumors, is a rare tumor arising from in­trapulmonary lymphatics. Due to presentation with mass and consolidation, many diseases, require to be consid­ered in the differential diagnosis such as primary or meta­static lung cancer, pneumonia, pulmonary sequestration and atelectasis radiologically. A 44 years old male patient with complaints for two years, with 65x68 mm pulmo­nary mass lesion in left upper lobe and lingular segments which has boundaries could not be distinguished by heart border, was interned. Diagnostic thoracotomy applied and histopathology was obtained as pulmonary lymphoma. Wedge resection including lingula and lower lobe api­cal segments was performed. In this study, we aimed to present a case hospitalized with complaints of cough and fatigue and diagnosed as primary pulmonary ( low-grade B-cell) lymphoma

Attractive versus Repulsive Excitonic Interactions of Colloidal Quantum Dots Control Blue- to Red-Shifting (and Non-shifting) Amplified Spontaneous Emission

Tunable, high-performance, two-photon absorption (TPA)-based amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from near-unity quantum efficiency colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) is reported. Besides the absolute spectral tuning of ASE, the relative spectral tuning of ASE peak with respect to spontaneous emission was shown through engineering excitonic interactions in quasi-type-II CdSe/CdS core/shell CQDs. With core shell size adjustments, it was revealed that Coulombic exciton-exciton interactions can be tuned to be attractive (type-I-like) or repulsive (type-II-like) leading to red- or blue-shifted ASE peak, respectively, and that nonshifting ASE can be achieved with the right core shell combinations. The possibility of obtaining ASE at a specific wavelength from both type-I-like and type-II-like CQDs was also demonstrated. The experimental observations were supported by parametric quantum-mechanical modeling, shedding light on the type-tunability. These excitonically engineered CQD-solids exhibited TPA-based ASE threshold as low as 6.5 mJ/cm(2) under 800 nm excitation, displaying one of the highest values of TPA cross-section of 44 660 GM

Kikuchi Fujimato Disease

Kikuchi Fujimato disease (KFD) also know as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) is a benign, self limiting disease, which commonly affects young women under 30 years of age. Most of the cases resolve in a six month period. Laboratory and clinical findings of KFD show similarities with tuberculosis lymphadenitis, mailgn lymphoma, other malign and benign diseases. The diagnosis is established on the basis of histology of lymph node excisional biopsy. The differentiation of KFD from Sistemik Lupus Eritematosus (SLE) can sometimes be problematic because both can show similar clinical and histological features. KFD and SLE can be seen together. Forty two years-old female patient diagnosed with KFD was discussed in light of current literature

Vibration-controlled transient elastography for non-invasive screening of liver fibrosis and steatosis in Turkish patients with A cross-sectional

Background and Aim: The prevalence of fibrosis and steatosis in patients with psoriasis, as determined by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), has not been evaluated in Turkiye to date. The present cross-sectional study aims to present the first systematic screening results, focusing on two primary objectives: 1) establishing the prevalence of fibrosis and steatosis, and 2) identifying independent predictors for liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) values in this patient population. Materials and Methods: Patients were eligible for inclusion if they had a confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis by a qualified dermatologist based on characteristic signs and symptoms and histopathological examination, and had undergone VCTE for LSM and CAP measurements. Results: The diagnosis of severe fibrosis and cirrhosis - identified by LSM values of 10.0-13.9 and >= 14.0 kPa, respectively - was significantly prevalent (7.0% and 10.1%, respectively) among a sizeable cohort of relatively young Turkish patients with psoriasis (n=328; mean age: 49.5 +/- 12.7 years). Additionally, severe steatosis, as diagnosed by VCTE and characterized by a CAP value exceeding 290 dB/m, was identified in up to 43.3% of patients. Although body mass index (BMI) was the only variable found to be an independently associated with LSM, multivariable linear regression analysis failed to identify any statistically independent predictor of CAP values. Conclusion: The prevalence of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis in Turkish patients with psoriasis is far from negligible, with BMI identified as an independent risk factor for fibrosis

Increased cerebral blood flow in the right anterior cingulate cortex and fronto-orbital cortex during go/no-go task in children with ADHD

Objective Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a relatively new imaging modality in the field of the cognitive neuroscience. In the present study, we aimed to compare the dynamic regional cerebral blood flow alterations of children with ADHD and healthy controls during a neurocognitive task by using event-related ASL scanning. Methods The study comprised of 17 healthy controls and 20 children with ADHD. The study subjects were scanned on 3 Tesla MRI scanner to obtain ASL imaging data. Subjects performed go/no-go task during the ASL image acquisition. The image analyses were performed by FEAT (fMRI Expert Analysis Tool) Version 6. Results The mean age was 10.88 +/- 1.45 and 11 +/- 1.91 for the control and ADHD group, respectively (p = .112). The go/no-go task was utilized during the ASL scanning. The right anterior cingulate cortex (BA32) extending into the frontopolar and orbitofrontal cortices (BA10 and 11) displayed greater activation in ADHD children relative to the control counterparts (p < .001). With a lenient significance threshold, greater activation was revealed in the right-sided frontoparietal regions during the go session, and in the left precuneus during the no-go session. Conclusion These results indicate that children with ADHD needed to over-activate frontopolar cortex, anterior cingulate as well as the dorsal and ventral attention networks to compensate for the attention demanded in a given cognitive task

Plasma Ischemia-Modified Albumin Levels and Dynamic Thiol/ Disulfide Balance in Sickle Cell Disease: A Case-Control Study

Objective: Sickle cell disease (SCD), described as a group of inherited blood disorders, affects millions of people throughout the world and is particularly common in the southern part of Turkey. We aimed to determine the relationship between ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and the dynamic thiol/disulfide balance in SCD. Materials and Methods: Fifty-four adult SCD patients and 30 healthy controls were included in the study. The 54 adult patients included 30 (56%) males and 24 (44%) females with a mean age of 28.3±8.4 years (minimum-maximum: 18-46 years). Of the 54 patients, 46 had homozygous sickle cell anemia (HbSS) and 8 had sickle/β-thalassemia (HbS/β+-thalassemia). Fasting blood samples were collected. After centrifugation at 1500×g for 10 min, plasma samples were portioned and stored at -80 °C. IMA levels were determined by albumin cobalt binding test, a colorimetric method. Total and native thiols and disulfide were analyzed with a novel spectrophotometric method. Results: We found significantly lower levels of native thiol (-SH) (284.0±86.3 μmol/L), disulfide levels (14.6±7 μmol/L), and total thiols (-SH + -S-S-) (313.0±89.3 μmol/L) in SCD patients compared to healthy controls (respectively 417.0±54.2, 22.7±11.3, and 462.0±58.7 μmol/L). Plasma albumin levels (34.9±7.9 g/L) were lower and IMA levels (13.6±3.1 g/L) were higher in SCD patients compared to controls (respectively 43.5±3.1 and 8.4±1.6 g/L). Plasma albumin levels were strongly correlated with both plasma native (r=0.853; p=0.0001) and total thiols (r=0.866; p=0.0001). Conclusion: Decreased plasma native and total thiol levels and increased IMA levels are related to increased oxidative stress and provide an indirect and quick reflection of the oxidative damage in SCD patients

The assessment of maternal deaths between 2015 and 2020 in Elazığ, Turkey

Objective: To determine the maternal deaths and the factors affecting them in our city. Methods: The maternal deaths occurred in our city between January 2015 and June 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. The review was conducted by checking “Maternal Death Registry Forms” of the Provincial Directorate of Health. In cases where additional data related with the cause of death were required, the relatives of the cases, associated family practitioner, The Council of Forensic Medicine or local authorities were contacted. The data of the cases including age, gravida, parity, abortion, delivery type, week of gestation during delivery, period of death and maternal deaths due to direct, indirect and incidental causes were recorded. Based on total live births and maternal deaths within 6.5 years, maternal mortality rate was found as the maternal death number per 100,000 live births. Descriptive statistics were used for the statistical analysis of the data. Results: A total of 46.618 live births occurred between 2015 and 2020 in Elazığ. The number of maternal deaths due to direct and indirect causes is 7, and maternal mortality rate was found 15.01/100,000. Hypertensive diseases during pregnancy (n=3, 42.8%), pulmonary embolism (n=1, 14.3%) and cerebral thrombosis (n=1, 14.3%) were among the natural causes of maternal deaths. Indirect cause for maternal death was cardiac diseases (n=2, 28.6%). When they were categorized according to the Three Delays Model, there were 3 death cases in the first delay model and 2 death cases in the third delay model, but there was no maternal death in the second delay model. Conclusion: Maternal death is an significant public health issue which develops due to the generally preventable causes and maintains its importance. The factors contributing to death should be paid attention in order to decrease maternal death rates
