Anterior glenohumeral instability: Classification of pathologies of anteroinferior labroligamentous structures using MR arthrography

We examined labroligamentous structures in unstable anteroinferior glenohumeral joints using MR arthrography (MRA) to demonstrate that not all instabilities are Bankart lesions. We aimed to show that other surgical protocols besides classic Bankart repair are appropriate for labroligamentous lesions. The study included 35 patients (33 males and 2 females; mean age: 30.2; range: 18 to 57 years). MRA was performed in all patients. The lesions underlying patients’ instability such as Bankart, anterior labral periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA), and Perthes lesions were diagnosed by two radiologists. MRA yielded 16 diagnoses of Bankart lesions, 5 of ALPSA lesions, and 14 of Perthes lesions. Albeit invasive, MRA seems to be a more reliable and accurate diagnostic imaging modality for the classification and treatment of instabilities compared to standard MRI

Measuring the Relative Efficiencies of Statistics Departments in Turkey Using Data Envelopment Analysis

Determinants of success of an education system can be the facilities offered during an educational process and the qualifications obtained afterwards. However, conversion of the offered facilities into outputs efficiently in the performance evaluation plays an important role for an educational system. On the contrary, comparison of Turkish university performances can be generally performed according to only output based performance indicators like academician performances and nationwide exam results of their graduates publicly. Aim of this study is to calculate the relative efficiencies of 18 statistics departments in Turkey, which are considered as decision making units, using data envelopment analysis. Reasons for inefficiencies of departments arise from pure technical efficiency component. Furthermore, a second stage analysis is implemented to observe the effects of external factors called non-discretionary inputs on efficiency results. Finally, efficiency differences between two types of departments are tested according to their education programs with a Mann - Whiney U Test

Arazi gerilmelerinin belirlenmesinde akustik emisyon tekniğinin performans ve ölçümleri etkileyen faktörlerin araştırılması

TÜBİTAK ÇAYDAG01.01.2006Bu çalışma, Akustik Emisyon (AE) tekniğinin arazi gerilmelerinin belirlenmesinde kullanılabilirliğinin araştırılması ve konuya ilişkin literatürde yer alan tartışmalara, bir ölçüde de olsa, açıklık getirilmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan çalışmalarda Kaiser Etkisi (KE) seviyesi üzerinde önyüklemedeki gerilmelerle birlikte örneklerin içerdikleri mikroçatlaklann da etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. KE seviyesinin öngerilmelerle ve mikroçatlaklarla ilişkisine yönelik, sınırlamalarıyla birlikte, Griffith kuramından yararlanılarak bazı eşitlikler önerilmiştir. AE tekniğinin literatürde önerildiği şekliyle arazi gerilmelerinin belirlenmesinde kullanılmasının tartışmalı olacağı görülmüştür

Medium-scale hazard mapping for shallow landslide initiation: the Buyukkoy catchment area (Cayeli, Rize, Turkey)

The main purpose of this study is to develop a new hazard evaluation technique considering the current limitations, particularly for shallow landslides. For this purpose, the Buyukkoy catchment area, located in the East Black Sea Region in the east of Rize province and the south of Cayeli district, was selected as the study area. The investigations were executed in four different stages. These were (1) preparation of a temporal shallow landslide inventory of the study area, (2) assessment of conditioning factors in the catchment, (3) susceptibility analyses and (4) hazard evaluations and mapping. A total of 251 shallow landslides in the period of 1955-2007 were recognised using different data sources. A 'Sampling Circle' approach was proposed to define shallow landslide initiation in the mapping units in susceptibility evaluations. To accomplish the susceptibility analyses, the method of artificial neural networks was implemented. According to the performance analyses conducted using the training and testing datasets, the prediction and generalisation capacities of the models were found to be very high. To transform the susceptibility values into hazard rates, a new approach with a new equation was developed, taking into account the behaviour of the responsible triggering factor over time in the study area. In the proposed equation, the threshold value of the triggering factor and the recurrence interval are the independent variables. This unique property of the suggested equation allows the execution of more flexible and more dynamic hazard assessments. Finally, using the proposed technique, shallow landslide initiation hazard maps of the Buyukkoy catchment area for the return periods of 1, 2, 5, 10, 50 and 100 years were produced

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Clinical Manifestations, Consequences, Monitoring, Diagnosis and Treatment of Toxicity

WOS: 000367541600012Carbon monoxide poisoning is a multisystem condition that may present with a wide range of symptoms and can cause a confusing constellation of clinical features. Diagnosis may be easily missed if physician is not alert about. Carbon monoxide intoxication is more frequent than it is reported. It has a simple treatment if diagnosed, and has many long-term sequela if under-treated

Kounis Syndrome Induced by Oral Intake of Diclofenac Potassium

TURAN SONMEZ, Feruza/0000-0001-8817-8521WOS: 000424115300012PubMed: 29338163An acute coronary syndrome (ACS) occurring during the course of an allergic reaction is called Kounis syndrome (KS). The second case of KS induced by diclofenac potassium (DP) is presented in this report. A 67-year-old man was brought to our emergency department with the possible diagnosis of anaphylactic shock by the ambulance staff. It emerged that widespread erythema and pruritus developed after taking DP. Then, he lost consciousness. Diffuse urticarial lesions were detected on physical examination at the emergency department. He complained of chest pain during his observation, and progressive ST segment elevation was seen in the inferior leads on serial electrocardiograms. His coronary angiography showed 100% occlusion of the right coronary artery. Then, KS was diagnosed. The patient was discharged on the second day, and he was doing well on the control visit 2 weeks later. All allergic reactions may trigger an ACS so physicians should be aware of KS and always keep that unique clinical entity in mind to recognize it promptly and direct the therapy at suppressing the allergic reaction and improving the coronary circulation simultaneously when encountering a patient with symptoms suggesting an allergic reaction and a concomitant ACS

An unexpected presentation of sick sinus syndrome: Isolated ventricular asystole

TURAN SONMEZ, Feruza/0000-0001-8817-8521WOS: 000407941000056PubMed: 28460803Sick sinus syndrome is a disorder of sinus node function characterized by various dysrhythmias such as sinus bradycardia or pause, paroxysmal regular or irregular atrial tachycardia, tachycardiabradycardia attacks or atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response. Ventricular asystole with preserved atrial electrical activity is a rarely seen presenting rhythm in the ED and an extremely rare cause of syncope. A 67-year-old male having a syncope attack was admitted to the emergency department. His Glasgow coma scale score was 15 on admission. He became unconscious during his observation in the emergency department, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated because he was seen to be apneic; his arterial pulse was impalpable, and ventricular asystole with preserved atrial electrical activity was seen on the monitor. He regained consciousness and normal sinus rhythm was seen on the monitor after 2 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Then, an alternating rhythm with short periods of bradycardia and tachycardia suggesting sick sinus syndrome was developed. A dualchamber pacemaker was placed, and he was discharged after 2 days of in patient follow-up. His symptoms have not recurred after placement of the pacemaker device. When sudden changes in vital parameters and/ or consciousness develop during observation of a patient with sick sinus syndrome, although it is not a common circumstance, accompanying high degree atrioventricular block and simultaneous ventricular asystole should be considered, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be initiated immediately because cardiopulmonary arrest is inevitable when ventricular asystole develops even if the atrial electrical activity is maintained.
