Investigation of fetal cardiac function using tissue doppler imaging in fetuses compromised by growth restriction

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate fetal cardiac systolic and diastolic function using the tissue Dopplertechnique in pregnancies with complications of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to examine the relationship betweenFGR with umbilical artery Doppler parameters and fetal cardiac function in complicated pregnancies.Material and methods: This study included 30 pregnant women with FGR complications and 46 pregnant women withoutFGR complications. Both groups were at 24–34 gestational weeks. Fetal cardiac examination was performed using pulsedDoppler and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in all pregnancies. In the analysis of myocardial tissue by tissue Doppler, thetracing obtained from the junction of the tricuspid valve annulus with the right ventricle was recorded by measuring theduration of the isovolumetric contraction wave (IVC), ejection time (ET), and isovolumetric relaxation time (IVR). Furthermore,we calculated the myocardial performance index (MPI) and then measured and recorded the early diastolic annular rate.Results: Based on the TDI studies, the mean IVC and IVR values were significantly longer and the ET values were significantlyshorter in the study group than those in the control group. The study group also had significantly longer MPI measurements.Conclusions: Because TDI is a considerably more sensitive method than cardiac sonographic evaluation using pulsedDoppler, tissue Doppler parameters facilitate the detection of cardiac dysfunction at a relatively early stage. In addition,TDI and myocardial evaluation in fetuses with FGR can be noninvasively performed in clinical practice

Veri toplama aracı olarak daha önce fizik öğretmenlerine uygulanan 35 kapalı uçlu ve 11 açık uçlu sorudan oluĞ¢an bir anket kullanılmıĞ¢tır. Ankette yer alan sorulardan elde edilen verilerin frekans dağılımları belirlenmiĞ¢tir. Öğretmen adayları ve öğretmenler fizik uygulama derslerinin yeniden programda yer alması ve fizik ders saatlerinin artırılması, 9. sınıf programındaki konuların genel kültür düzeyinde kalması, 10. sınıf programında mekanik konularının ve 11. sınıfta ise elektrik konularının tümünün yer alması gerektiğini belirtmiĞ¢lerdir. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda ortaöğretim fizik ders konularının yıllara göre sıralanması, aĞ¢amalılık ve önkoĞ¢ul ilkeleri dikkate alınarak tablo halinde sunulmuĞ¢tur. \r\n\r\nABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the physics program arrangements by determining the ideas of prospective physics teachers on the the secondary school physics program arrangements in 2005 following the increase from three years to four years period, and by comparing them with the ideas of the physics teachers on the same subject. The sampling of the study consisted of 80 prospective teachers who attend 4th and 5th classes at a state university‟s physics education program. In order to collect the views of prospective teachers, a questionnaire, including 35 close-ended and 11 open-ended questions was used. The frequency distribution of data that was obtained from close-ended and open-ended questions was determined. Suggestions of prospective teachers and physics teachers regarding the physics program arrangements are; Physics Application courses should be included in the program and the hours of the physics courses should be increased, making 9th degree physics program should only be on general culture level, the content of 10th level should be only for mechanical topics and the content of 11th level should be only for electrical topics. According to the findings, suggestions were presented as a table for listing year-based secondary school physics courses by considering the principles of progressiveness in unit order and prerequisite for other lessons

Sexual functions and prolactin levels in patients with bipolar disorder

Objective: Mood stabilizers and antipsychotic drugs are known to have adverse effects on sexual function. However, patients often refrain from speaking about sexual complaints that may cause dose reduction and discontinuation of the drug without medical supervision. In this study we aimed to evaluate sexual functions of patients with bipolar disorder in remission period, considering prolactin levels and medications. Method: We recruited 52 patients with bipolar disorder in remission according to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Prolactin levels were measured in all patients. The Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) was used to assess sexual dysfunction. Results: Mean prolactin levels were 24.71 ± 4.25 and 19.96 ± 5.52 ng/ml respectively for females and males. Patients taking mood stabilizer (MS) and mood stabilizer plus antipsychotic (AP) treatment had different prolactin levels (p<0.001). Total GRISS scores were not different for MS and MS+AP treatment groups. We didn't find a correlation between Total GRISS scores and prolactin levels. There was a significant deterioration in female non-sensuality, female dissatisfaction and anorgasmia subscales of female patients and significant deterioration in premature ejaculation, impotence and male dissatisfaction subscales of male patients. Discussion: In our sample, both men and women patients with bipolar disorder in remission have sexual dysfunctions. Our results suggest that prolactin levels are not sufficient to demonstrate the sexual dysfunction. To enhance patient compliance it is necessary to focus more on sexual symptoms of patients receiving MS and AP treatment

Recent Advances in Health Biotechnology During Pandemic

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged in 2019, cut the epoch that will make profound fluctuates in the history of the world in social, economic, and scientific fields. Urgent needs in public health have brought with them innovative approaches, including diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To exceed the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, various scientific authorities in the world have procreated advances in real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) based diagnostic tests, rapid diagnostic kits, the development of vaccines for immunization, and the purposing pharmaceuticals for treatment. Diagnosis, treatment, and immunization approaches put for- ward by scientific communities are cross-fed from the accrued knowledge of multidisciplinary sciences in health biotechnology. So much so that the pandemic, urgently prioritized in the world, is not only viral infections but also has been the pulsion in the development of novel approaches in many fields such as diagnosis, treatment, translational medicine, virology, mi- crobiology, immunology, functional nano- and bio-materials, bioinformatics, molecular biol- ogy, genetics, tissue engineering, biomedical devices, and artificial intelligence technologies. In this review, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of various scientific areas of health biotechnology are discussed
