Production of Bovine Colostrum for Human Consumption to Improve Health

Colostrum contains all essential nutrients for the neonate during the first days of life, with impacts that continue far beyond these first days. Bovine colostrum has been used for human consumption due to the high concentrations of bioactive proteins, vitamins, minerals, growth factors, as well as free and conjugated oligosaccharides. Processes involved in the preparation of bovine colostrum for human consumption play a pivotal role in preserving and maintaining the activity of the bioactive molecules. As bovine colostrum is a multifunctional food that offers a myriad of benefits for human health, assessing the main processes used in preparing it with both advantages and disadvantages is a crucial point to discuss. We discuss major processes effects for colostrum production on the nutritional value, some advanced technologies to preserve processed bovine colostrum and the endproduct forms consumed by humans whether as dairy products or dietary supplements

Contributions of each isotope in structural material on radiation damage in a hybrid reactor

In this study, the fluids were used in the liquid first-wall, blanket and shield zones of the designed hybrid reactor system. In this study, salt-heavy metal mixtures consisting of 93–85% Li20Sn80 + 5% SFG-PuO2 and 2-10% UO2, 93–85% Li20Sn80 + 5% SFG-PuO2 and 2-10% NpO2, and 93–85% Li20Sn80 + 5% SFG-PuO2 and 2-10% UCO were used as fluids. In this study, the effect on the radiation damage of spent fuel-grade (SFG)-PuO2, UO2, NpO2 and UCO contents was investigated in the structural material of a designed fusion–fission hybrid reactor system. In the designed hybrid reactor system were investigated the effect on the radiation damage of the selected fluid according to each isotopes of structural material in the structural material for 30 full power years (FPYs). Three-dimensional analyses were performed using the most recent MCNPX-2.7.0 Monte Carlo radiation transport code and the ENDF/B-VII.0 nuclear data library

Examination of the effects of swimming exercises and thera-band workouts on dynamic and static balance in children between 7-12 years of age7-12 yaş arası çocuklarda yüzme egzersizi ve thera-band çalışmalarının dinamik ve statik dengeye etkisinin incelenmesi

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of swimming exercises and theraband workouts on dynamic and static balance in children aged 7-12 years. The study was conducted with 20 subjects aged 7-12 who were interested in swimming for at least 2 years and engaged in swimming training on a regular basis for 5 days per week. Informed consent was obtained from the parents and trainers of the participants about their voluntary participation. Participants were randomly divided into 2 groups. Swimming and theraband workouts were made to the 1. group (n=10), only swimming exercises were made to the 2. group (n=10). In this study, anthropometric measurements and static and dynamic balance measurements were taken. The study was carried out in the Van Olympic Swimming Pool. The analysis of the data in-group and intergroup measurements were performed. There was statistically significant improvement between the variables in the theraband exercise group. Developments were thought to be influenced by the specificity of the movements. The experimental group showed a statistically significant in the eyes open front-to-back swing %28,85, eyes closed front-to-back swing %6,66, the average speed of eyes open front-to-back swing %20,12, the eyes open front-to-back swing body balance %15,83, eyes open left to right swing %14,66, eyes open left to right swing speed %22,30, anterior experimental group %1,91 and posterolateral experimental group %4,54. The difference between the posterolateral and anterior post-test groups was observed. Test*group interaction was observed at the speed of  eyes open front-to-back and left to right swings. This interaction was due to intra-group developments in the experimental group. As a result, theraband studies examined under the name of swimming and core exercise in children athletes were thought to play an important role in the development of static and dynamic balance. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu çalışma 7-12 yaş arası çocuklarda yüzme egzersizi ve tereband çalışmalarının dinamik ve statik dengeye etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma en az 2 yıl yüzme branşı ile ilgilenen ve haftada 5 gün düzenli olarak yüzme antrenmanı yapan yaşları 7-12 arasında olan 20 denek ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların velilerinden ve antrenörlerinden gönüllü katılımları ile ilgili aydınlanmış onamları alınmıştır. Katılımcılar rastgele yöntemle 2 gruba ayrılmışlardır. 1. gruba (n=10) yüzme ve tereband çalışmaları, 2. gruba (n=10) sadece yüzme egzersizleri yaptırılmıştır. Çalışmada antropometrik ölçümler ile statik ve dinamik denge ölçümleri alınmıştır. Çalışma Van Olimpik yüzme havuzunda uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde grupiçi ve gruplararası ölçümler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tereband egzersiz grubunda değişkenler arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı gelişme görülmüştür. Gelişmelerin hareketlerin spesikfikliğinden etkilendiği düşünülmektedir. Deney grubunun göz açık öne arkaya salınım %28,85, göz kapalı öne arkaya salınım %6,66, göz açık öne arkaya salınım ortalama hızı %20,12, göz açık öne arkaya salınım gövde dengesi %15,83,  göz açık sağa sola salınım %14,66, göz açık sağa sola salınım hızı %22,30, Anterior %1,91 ve Posterolateral deney grubunda %4,54 oranında istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir artış göstermiştir. Posterolateral ve anteriorda son test gruplar arası farklılık gözlemlenmiştir.  Göz açık öne arkaya salınım ve göz açık sağa sola salınım hızında test*grup etkileşimi gözlenirken, bu etkileşim deney grubundaki grup içi gelişimlerden kaynaklanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, çocuk sporcularda yüzme ve core egzersiz adı altında incelenen tereband çalışmalarının statik ve dinamik denge geliştirme de önemli rol oynadığı düşünülmektedir

THE INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF RADICAL NECK DISSECTIONS TO THE BRAINSTEM BY BRAINSTEM AUDITORY EVOKED POTENTIALS

IN 33 EARS OF 17 PATIENTS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE UNILATERAL OF BILATERAL NECK DISSECTION

Evaluation of Clinical Characteristics, Laboratory, Radiological Findings and Outcomes of Hospitalized Children with Coronavirus Disease 2019

ABSTRACTObjective: We assessed our knowledge about the epidemiological, clinical characteristics, laboratory/radiological findings, and outcomes of hospitalized children with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This retrospective single-center study was conducted on 54 children with COVID-19 who were hospitalized from March 16, 2020, to April 26, 2020, in the Pediatric Department at Sancaktepe Training &amp;Research Hospital Istanbul, Turkey. Results: The median age of our patients was 121.5 months (range 1-214 months), of the 54 hospitalized children, 48.1% (n=26) were female, and 51.9% (n=28) were male. The most common symptom was cough (n=24, 44.4%). The median duration of hospitalization was five days (range 1-13 days). According to the PCR test results, 24 (44.4%) patients were positive, and 30 (55.6%) were negative. Among 54 children, white-cell count (WBC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) were significantly lower, and CRP levels were significantly higher in PCR negative patients. Computed tomography was performed in 26 children, and 19 (73.1%) CT scans were consistent with classic/probable/indeterminate COVID-19 predominant patterns. Oxygen requirement was significantly higher in our PCR negative patients. Conclusion: As a result of the low sensitivity of PCR test results, clinicians should consider clinical signs and symptoms in deciding on the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.
