İnsan sesi etrafında örgütlenmeyen deneme film: zur person örneği.
This Thesis aims to provide criticism of main discourses on Essay Film which constitute idea of Essay Film with a voice over text. Unlike Expository documentaries, Essay Film offers a subjective voice. This voice is offered to let audience get role in construction of film idea with director by placing the director same place with spectator. David Harvey criticises this voice of essay film by concept of vococentrism which lets us interogate the authority on the essay film voice. In this thesis, by criticizing essay film through vococentrisim, it is aimed to reconsider Essay Film idea through the texts of Adorno, Hans Richter and thinkers whom offer film has its own tools to create its unique text. In the end of these discussions, this thesis, offers a non-vococentric Essay Film named Zur Person as a practical work. M.S. - Master of Scienc
Two methods for increasing sensitivity of dobutamine stress echocardiography: strain imaging and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein levels.
Hepatic portal venous gas after blunt abdominal trauma in a child
Hepatic portal venous gas is defined as tubular areas with decreased enfeeblement around the periphery of the liver. It is a rare finding and associated with various underlying abdominal pathologies, from benign causes to potentially life threatening conditions. Rate of diagnosis of hepatic portal venous gas have been increased due to widespread use of advanced imaging techniques. Existence of gas in the portal veins after blunt abdominal trauma is a temporary incidental finding that could be resolved spontaneously. Here we report an extremely rare condition that describes a child who was suffering from air emboly of the portal veins due to blunt abdominal trauma. The condition was clinically under control and resolved spontaneously

Increased red cell distribution width level is associatedwith absence of coronary collateral vessels in patients with acute coronary syndromes
Fabrication of naturel pumice/hydroxyapatite composite for biomedical engineering
Background: We evaluated the Bovine hydroxyapatite (BHA) structure. BHA powder was admixed with 5 and 10 wt% natural pumice (NP). Compression strength, Vickers micro hardness, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction studies were performed on the final NP-BHA composite products. The cells proliferation was investigated by MTT assay and SEM. Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity of NP-BHA samples was interrogated. Results: Variances in the sintering temperature (for 5 wt% NP composites) between 1000 and 1300 °C, reveal about 700 % increase in the microhardness (~100 and 775 HV, respectively). Composites prepared at 1300 °C demonstrate the greatest compression strength with comparable result for 5 wt% NP content (87 MPa), which are significantly better than those for 10 wt% and those that do not include any NP (below 60 MPa, respectively). Conclusion: The results suggested the optimal parameters for the preparation of NP-BHA composites with increased mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Changes in micro-hardness and compression strength can be tailored by the tuning the NP concentration and sintering temperature. NP-BHA composites have demonstrated a remarkable potential for biomedical engineering applications such as bone graft and implant.Marmara University [FEN-B-080415-0117] [FEN-C-YLP-140115-000]NIMP Core [Programme PN4501-3
Glomerular Filtration Rate is Associated With Burden of Coronary Atherosclerosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome
We aimed to elucidate the relationship between mild to moderate renal impairements and burden of atherosclerosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A total of 380 patients with ACS were included in the study. Gensini and SYNTAX scores were also calculated. Kidney function was classified based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) into stage 1: eGFR > 90, stage 2: 60 to 89, and stage 3: 30 to 60 mL/min per 1.73 m(2). Gensini and SYNTAX scores were higher in stages 2 and 3 than in stage 1. Also, the number of diseased vessels, number of critical lesions (> 50 and 70%), left main disease, and number of total occlusion vessels were higher in stages 2 and 3 than in stage 1. Multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that a decreased eGFR was an independent risk factor for SYNTAX and Gensini scores together with age and male gender
Impairment of heart rate recovery index in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease patients without hypertension
Background. We aimed to determine the status of the autonomic nervous system in patients with autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who were normotensive and had normal renal function. Methods. A total of 28 normotensive ADPKD patients with normal renal function and 30 healthy control subjects consented to participate in the study. Heart rate recovery (HRR) indices were defined as the reduction in heart rate from the rate at peak exercise to the rate at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th minutes after the cessation of the exercise stress test; these results were indicated HRR 1, HRR 2, HRR 3 and HRR 5, respectively. Results. The 1st- and 2nd-minute HRR indices of patients with ADPKD were significantly lower than those of the healthy control group (27.1 +/- 7.9 vs 32.0 +/- 7.9; p = 0.023 and 46.9 +/- 11.5 vs 53.0 +/- 9.0; p = 0.029, respectively). Similarly, HRR indices after the 3rd and 5th minutes of the recovery period were significantly lower in patients with ADPKD when compared with indices in the control group (56.7 +/- 12.0 vs 65.1 +/- 11.2; p = 0.008 and 62.5 +/- 13.8 vs 76.6 +/- 15.5; p = 0.001, respectively). Conclusion. Impaired HRR index is associated with normotensive early-stage ADPKD patients. Increased renal ischemia and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may contribute to impairment in the autonomic nervous system in these patients before the development of hypertension. Even if ADPKD patients are normotensive, there appears to be an association with autonomic dysfunction and polycystic kidney disease
