L'Herència Bizantina a l'Arquitectura proto-Otomana: Nicea, Prusa, Belakoma & Constantinoble al s. XIV-XV

Treballs Finals de Grau d'Història de l'Art, Facultat de Geografia i Història, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2013-2014, Tutora: Rosa TerésDes del meu punt de vista, una de les bases de la nostra cultura és l'Imperi bizantí. Si cal buscar un origen, si no fos la cultura hel·lènica, seria sense cap dubte l'imperi bizantí. Però, avui en dia no podem ignorar que els turcs nòmades porten més de 1000 anys a l’Àsia Menor. Totes dues parts van crear una nova cultura, la qual és una fusió. I les fusions sempre són molt més riques, molt més especials. L’objectiu d’aquest treball és mostrar la riquesa de l’arquitectura a l’època proto-otomana, durant els seus primers moments de confrontació

Increased Exhaled 8-Isoprostane and Interleukin-6 in Patients with Helicobacter pylori Infection

BackgroundHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection triggers both local inflammation, usually in gastric mucosa, and chronic systemic inflammation. It is assumed that this local and systemic inflammation is caused by extracellular products excreted by H. pylori. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between H. pylori infection and a local inflammatory response in the airway by using exhaled breath condensate technique

Relationship between functional status and fatigue after COVID-19 infection: a multicenter study from Türkiye

Background/aim: Symptoms of COVID-19 may persist for months. One of the persistent symptoms of COVID-19 is fatigue, which reduces functional status. The relationship between fatigue, functional status, and various other factors has received little attention, which this study aims to address.. Materials and methods: Patients with COVID-19 infection were included in this multicenter cross-sectional study. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), marital status, smoking status, presence and duration of chronic disease, comorbidity index, regular exercise habits, time since COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalization status, length of hospital stay, intubation status, home oxygen therapy after discharge, participation in a pulmonary rehabilitation program, presence of dyspnea, presence of cough, presence of sputum, and modified Medical Research Council, Post-COVID Functional Status (PCFS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and EQ-5D-5L Questionnaire scores were recorded. Results: We enrolled 1095 patients, including 603 (55%) men and 492 (45%) women with a mean age of 50 ± 14 years. The most common chronic lung disease was COPD (11%) and 266 (29%) patients had nonpulmonary disease. The median time elapsed since COVID-19 diagnosis was 5 months; the hospitalization rate was 47%. The median PCFS grade was 1 (0–4) and the median FSS score was 4.4 (1–7). The PCFS and FSS were positively correlated (r = 0.49, p 4.78 showed moderate to severe functional limitations. It is important to address modifiable patient risk factors and reduce the severity of COVID-19 infection

Turkish Thoracic Society Early Career Members Task Force Group's Virtual Congress Notes: European Respiratory Society International Congress 2020

In this article, Early Career Task Force Group members of the Turkish Thoracic Society summarize the European Respiratory Society 2020 virtual congress. Current developments in the field of respiratory diseases were compiled with the addition of sessions specific to coronavirus disease 2019 this year. Almost all of the congress sessions were examined, and the important and striking results of the congress were highlighted. Congress sessions were attended by expert researchers, and the prominent messages of each session were highlighted in short summaries. They were then grouped under relevant titles and ranked in order of meaning and relation. It was finalized by a team of researchers.Turkish Thoracic Society (TTS)This study was supported by Turkish Thoracic Society (TTS) and is a product of the collaboration of TTS Early Career Members Taskforce Group
