Scoliosis may be the first symptom of the tethered spinal cord
(JAN-FEB)
Background: Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a progressive clinical entity that arises from abnormal spinal cord tension. Scoliosis may be a unique symptom in TCS. The aim of this study is to investigate prognosis after ...
Effects of Cyclooxygenase on the Urothelium of the Urinary Bladder of Mice Exposed to Pelvic Radiation
(APR)
Objective: To determine the role of cyclooxygenase (COX) expression in the urothelium of the urinary bladder during radiation injury caused by pelvic radiotherapy for cancer therapy. Study Design: Twenty-four male Swiss ...
A new dressing material in diabetic wounds: Wound healing activity of oleuropein-rich olive leaf extract in diabetic rats
(JAN)
Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate a dressing material on ischemic wound model in diabetic rats. Study was conducted during the months of June 2012-March 2013 at Ege University in Izmir, Turkey. ...
The long-term results of temporary urethral stent placement for the treatment of recurrent bulbar urethral stricture disease
(MAR-APR)
Aim: To evaluate the long term outcomes of temporary urethral stent placement for the treatment of recurrent bulbar urethral stricture. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight patients who underwent temporary polymer coated ...
Bone mineral density and biochemical markers of bone metabolism in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease
(APR)
The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of serum bone turnover markers (BTM) and bone mineral density (BMD) determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in predialysis patients with chronic kidney ...
Matrix changes due to the toxic effects of metronidazole in intestinal tissue of fish (Onchorhynchus mykiss)
(FEB)
Metranidazole (MTZ) is an antibiotic used for parasitic infections in a number of species. Accumulation of this drug in the environment and its interaction with fish of economic value makes this drug particularly important. ...
PREDICTION OF THE ELASTIC MODULI OF CHICKEN-FEATHER-REINFORCED PLA AND A COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
(JAN-FEB)
The purpose of this study is to obtain the elastic moduli, the key material property, of random discontinuous fiber composites with experiments and micromechanical models and to compare them. The proposed study makes it ...
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF MIXED CONVECTION IN PULSATING FLOW FOR A HORIZONTAL CHANNEL WITH A CAVITY HEATED FROM BELOW
(2016)
In this study, a channel with a cavity heated from below is numerically investigated for the mixed convection case in pulsating flow for a range of Richardson numbers (Ri = 0.1, 1, 10, 100) at Reynolds number of 50 in the ...
An Hybrid Numerical Algorithm With Error Estimation For A Class Of Functional Integro-Differential Equations
(2016)
In this paper, a numerical algorithm based on Laguerre and Taylor polynomials is applied for solving a class of functional integro-differential equations. The considered problem is transfered to a matrix equation which ...
Effects of CPAP (Continous Positive Airway Pressure) Treatment on Oxidative Stress and Pro-Inflammatory Process
(2016)
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an independent risk factor for development of atherosclerotic processes because it leads to hypertension, impaired glucose metabolism, obesity and metabolic syndrome, ...
