An interesting table related to Fibonacci numbers

In this paper, we show that sum of the row elements on the table formed by given recurrence relation, and each element on this table can be obtained using two different Fibonacci numbers

Highly-sensitive, label-free detection of microorganisms and viruses via interferometric reflectance imaging sensor

Pathogenic microorganisms and viruses can easily transfer from one host to another and cause disease in humans. The determination of these pathogens in a time- and cost-effective way is an extreme challenge for researchers. Rapid and label-free detection of pathogenic microorganisms and viruses is critical in ensuring rapid and appropriate treatment. Sensor technologies have shown considerable advancements in viral diagnostics, demonstrating their great potential for being fast and sensitive detection platforms. In this review, we present a summary of the use of an interferometric reflectance imaging sensor (IRIS) for the detection of microorganisms. We highlight low magnification modality of IRIS as an ensemble biomolecular mass measurement technique and high magnification modality for the digital detection of individual nanoparticles and viruses. We discuss the two different modalities of IRIS and their applications in the sensitive detection of microorganisms and viruses.Published versio

Two Variants of the Reciprocal Super Catalan Matrix

In this paper, we define two kinds variants of the super Catalan matrix as well as their q-analoques. We give explicit expressions for LU-decompositions of these matrices and their inverses

Formulas for binomial sums including powers of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers

WOS: 000369178600007Recently Prodinger [2] proved general expansion formulas for sums of powers of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. In this paper, we will prove general expansion formulas for binomial sums of powers of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers

Eating disorders and Celiac disease: A case report

Objective: Although chronic physical illness may be associated coincidentally with an eating disorder, some clinicians may overlook the possibility that another medical illness may coexist and contribute concurrently to symptoms such as peculiar eating behaviors, restrictive eating, and/or vomiting accompanied by body dissatisfaction. We present a 31-year-old single woman initially diagnosed with an atypical eating disorder

Anorexia nervosa and Raynaud's phenomenon: A case report

Objective: To describe and discuss potential relationships between anorexia nervosa (AN) and Raynaud's phenomenon, the course and concurrent treatment of these two disorders as they appeared simultaneously, and a potential treatment modification entailed in such concurrent therapies

Highly-Sensitive, Label-Free Detection of Microorganisms and Viruses via Interferometric Reflectance Imaging Sensor

Rapid and label-free detection of pathogenic microorganisms and viruses is critical in ensuring rapid and appropriate treatment.

Emergency department visits caused by adverse drug reactions: results of a Turkish university hospital

WOS: 000378646700001PubMed ID: 27513388Background/aim: We aimed to evaluate adverse drug reaction (ADR)-related emergency department (ED) visits in the ED of the Dokuz Eylul University Hospital prospective. Materials and methods: Patients who were admitted to the ED during 1-week periods of four different seasons between July 2010 and April 2011 were enrolled. Demographics of patients, previous ADR history, clinical progress, and outcomes were recorded. Causality assessment was done according to World Health Organization Uppsala Monitoring Centre categories. ADRs were categorized as certain, probable, or possible. Results: Patients who were on medications (26.5%, n = 1838) were evaluated for ADR-related ED admissions. ADRs accounted for 5.9% of cases (n = 108). The most frequently affected systems were the gastrointestinal (35.2%, n = 38), dermatological (23.1%, n = 25), and hematological (10.2%, n = 11) systems (7.4%, n = 8). The most common causes of ADRs were antiinfectives (31.6%, n = 33). Amoxicillin, Coumadin, and paracetamol were the most common medications that caused ADRs. Conclusion: Nearly 6% of the admissions were ADR-related. ADRs should always be considered when patients who are on medication are admitted to the ED. Multicenter epidemiologic studies are required to know the real rates of ADR cases in EDs in Turkey
