Item Metadata only Why does post-transplant osteonecrosis develop?(Oxford Univ Press, 2007-08) Ersoy, Alparslan; Ersoy, Canan Özyardımcı; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Nefroloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Endokrinoloji ve Metabolizma Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-0710-0923; AAH-5054-2021; AAH-8861-2021; 35612977100; 6701485882Item Metadata only (2,2 '-bipyridine)saccharinatosilver(I)(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007-12) Hamamcı, Sevim; Harrison, William T.A.; Yılmaz, Veysel Turan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi/Kimya Bölümü.; 0000-0002-2849-3332; L-7238-2018; 7006269202The title complex, [Ag(C7H4NO3S)(C10H8N2)], has a mononuclear structure in which the Ag-I ion is coordinated by two N atoms from 2,2 '-bipyridine and one N atom from saccharinate, forming a distorted T-shaped (or trigonal-planar) AgN3 arrangement. The bite angle of bpy is 71.69 (6)degrees, which contributes significantly to the distortion of the coordination geometry. Molecules are connected by C-H center dot center dot center dot O and pi(bpy)-pi(bpy) interactions with a centroid-centroid separation of 3.6741 (13) angstrom.Item Metadata only A case of idiopathic basal ganglia calcification presenting with only acting-out attacks and mild cognitive impairment: PET findings(Amer Psychiatric Publishing, Inc, 2007-06) Karapolat, İnanç; Güzel, Orkide; Schäbitz , Wolf Rüdiger; Yuluǧ, Burak; Bakar, Mustafa; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Nöroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9704-6173; O-8322-2016; 6507583384; 26643051200Item Metadata only Allergen sensitivities of the children with asthma in Bursa, Turkiye(Wiley, 2007-06) Canıtez, Yakup; Perçin, K.; Sapan, Nihat; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.Item Metadata only Arterial elasticity measurement in renal transplant recipients(Elsevier Science Inc, 2007-07) Yıldız, Abdülmecit; Fazlıoğlu, Murat; Ersoy, Alparslan; Güllülü, Mustafa; Güllülü, Sümeyye; Yurtkuran, Mustafa Abbas; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Nefroloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kardiyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-0710-0923; AAH-5054-2021; 56256977500; 23988764000; 35612977100; 6602684544; 57204660708; 7003389525Arterial distensibility is reduced in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and after kidney transplantation. Pulse counter analysis provides an assessment of compliance or elasticity of the large conduit arteries (C1) and small arteries (C2). Decreased compliance has been shown to be predictive of primary coronary events in CKD patients. The aim of the present study was to compare elasticity measurements in hemodialysis (HD) patients, renal transplant recipients (RTR), and healthy subjects whose coronary angiographies were without lesion. Twenty-three RTRs, 18 HD patients, and 20 healthy subjects were included in the study. Pulse wave analysis was used to determine large and small vessel compliances. The C1 and C2 levels were significantly lower in HD patients compared with recipients and healthy subjects. Recipients showed lower C2 level compared with healthy subjects. There was no difference in C1 and C2 measurements between recipients receiving tacrolimus versus cyclosporine. Transplantation improves large and to some extend small artery elasticities in CKD patients.Item Open Access Avalanche photodiodes for electromagnetic calorimeters(Elsevier, 2007-03-01) Piliçer, Ercan; Koçak, Fatma; Tapan, İlhan; Ahmetoglu (Afrailov), Muhitdin A.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi/Fizik Bölümü.; 0000-0002-4756-9988; AAE-3350-2022; 15843878300; 15843834900; 8905787000; 15843273600Hamamatsu S8148 silicon avalanche photodiode (APD) working in proportional mode has been chosen as readout device for the PbWO4 crystals in the barrel of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL). High hadron fluences strongly affect the main parameters of both the scintillation crystals and the silicon detectors. In this work, we offer a new zinc sulfide-silicon (ZnS-Si) isotype heterojunction APD structure that is able to operate in high-radiation levels. A Monte Carlo simulation code has been performed in order to compare the Hamamatsu S8148 and the ZnS-Si APD structures for the photons emitting from PbWO4 crystal during 10 years of CMS operation. Based on this work, the performance of these two APD structures has been investigated. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Yöntem: Çalışmaya major depresif bozukluk tanısı alan 12-18 yaş arası 63 ergen (48 kız, 15 erkek) hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastalar ile yüz yüze görüşülmüş, hastaların intihar düşünceleri, intihar planları, geçmiş intihar girişimleri, sosyo-demografik değişkenler değerlendirilmiştir. Çocuklar İçin Depresyon Ölçeği, DurumlulukSürekli Kaygı Envanteri (STAI-I, STAI-II), Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği, Coopersmith Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği, Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği, Güçler ve Güçlükler Anketi Anne-Baba Formu uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın istatistiksel analizinde SPSS for Windows 13.0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Olguların son 6 ay içerisinde %71,4’ünde (n=45) intihar düşüncesinin olduğu ve %27’sinin (n=17) intihar girişiminde bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Depresyonu olan ergenlerde intihar düşüncesi ile ilişkili etkenler: yüksek depresyon ve anksiyete düzeyleri, umutsuzluk, düşük benlik saygısı olarak saptanmıştır (p<0,05). İntihar girişimi ile ilişkili etkenler ise: dağılmış aileden gelme, yetersiz algılanan aile desteği ve yüksek oranda davranışsal sorunların varlığı olarak saptanmıştır (p<0,05). İntihar girişimi olan hastalarda, intihar düşüncesi olup girişimi olmayan hastalara göre saptanan tek fark; algılanan aile desteğinin daha düşük olması olmuştur (p<0,05). Sonuç: İntihar düşüncesinin gelişmesi ve bu düşüncenin intihar girişimine dönüşmesi ile ilgili etkenlerin dikkate alınmasının, majör depresif bozukluğu olan ergenlerin intihar girişimlerini önlemede klinisyenlere yardımcı olacağı düşünülmektedir.Item Metadata only Treatability of chemically treated olive mill wastewater together with a domestic wastewater using respirometric method(Foundation Enviromental Protection & Reseach-Ferp, 2008) Mert, Berna Kiril; Kestioǧlu, Kadir; Yalılı Kılıç, Melike; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Çevre Mühendisliği Bölümü.; AAG-8505-2021; 8910702800; 35234676100; 55897413400In this study, treatability of olive mill wastewater which had previously been treated physico-chemically together with domestic wastewater has been investigated using respirometric method. Olive mill wastewater (OMW) samples have been taken from a factory which produces olive oil with continuous method in Bursa. Acid cracking and physico-chemical treatability studies of the OMW have been carried out; a variety of coagulants with different dosages have been tested to achieve maximum removals of COD, SS and phenol. At 8000 mg/L alum concentration; 69% COD, 74% phenol and 87% SS whereas at 8000 mg/L ferric(III) chloride concentration; 80% COD, 79% phenol and 91% SS and whereas at 6000 mg/L Ca(OH)(2) concentration; 80% COD, 85% phe-nol and 86% SS removals were achieved. When ONW was mixed with activated sludge (SS = 3200 mg/L) at 1/1 (h/h), 1/2 (h/h) and 2/1 (h/h) ratios, decreases in respiration activity of 67%, 79% and 75% have respectively been observed. Among the three, only for the 1/2 (h/h) ratio of OMW/AS mixture in which OMW had previously been treated by lime, alum and ferric (III) chloride showed increases in respiration activities of 81%, 9% and 25%, respectively. Therefore, it can be said that OMW which was previously treated chemically with lime, alum and ferric (III) chloride, can be co-treated with domestic wastewater at a 1/2 (h/h) ratio. Among the three chemicals, lime could be preferred due to better removal efficiencies of COD, SS and phenol and lower cost.Item Metadata only A case of hepatoid carcinoma of the ovary(Imr Press, 2008) Ozan, Hakan; Nazlıoğlu, Hülya Öztürk; Özuysal, Sema; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Anabilim Dalı.; 7003908072; 56616314600; 57197115377A 50-year-old female was admitted with abdominal distention. Her serum CA125 level was elevated. Ultrasonography and computerized tomography showed adnexal tumoral masses with intraperitoneal metastases but no hepatic parenchymal involvement. She was operated oil and histopathological and immunohistochemistry findings indicated ovarian hepatoid tumor. We present this case of ovarian hepatoid tumor and discuss the two-year disease progression from diagnosis to death.Item Metadata only Apical ballooning syndrome: A metabolic form of cardiomyopathy?(INT Scientific Literature, 2008-06) Yılmaz, Yusuf; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-4518-5283; K-6651-2012; 22936014300Tatkotsubo cardiomyopathy is a transientt cardiomyopathy of unknown origin due to left ventricular apical ballooning. Although first described in Japanese patients, it is now diagnosed worldwide. The syndrome mimics acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction in the absence of significant epicardial coronary artery disease. Although significant efforts have been made to understand it, the pathophysiology of takotsubo cardiomyopathy remains poorly understood. We hypothesize that takotsubo cardiomyopathy may be considered a metabolic form of cardiomyopathy characterized by dysfunctional metabolism of cardiomyocytes. Evidence to support this hypothesis is given possible therapeutic implications are discussed.Item Metadata only Application of continuous wavelet transform to detect damage in thin-walled beams coupled in bending and torsion(Techno-Press, 2008-06-20) Gökdaǧ, Hakan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü.; 0000-0003-3070-6365; F-3233-2016; 23012197200The application of continuous wavelet transform to detect damage in thin-walled beams coupled in bending and torsion is presented. Damage is modeled as notch, crack, or decrease in modulus of elasticity and the wavelet coefficients that are functions of scale and translation parameters are plotted for different scales to seel sharp changes. The extent of damage can be estimated once the damage location is determined for the magnitudeds of wavelet coefficients that is proportioal to the loss of resistance. The results show that the mode shape derived from properly selected transducer distance will enable the wavelet coefficients with maximum amplitute so that the location and extent of damage can be effectively evaluated.Item Metadata only Evaluation of anxiety among medical and engineering students by factor analysis(Slovak Acad Sciences Inst Experimantal Psychology, 2008) Ercan, İlker; İrgil, Emel; Sığırlı, Deniz; Ozen, Nurdan Sakin; Kan, İsmet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Halk Sağlığı Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-2382-290X; AAA-7472-2021; 6603789069; 6508074086; 24482063400; 25654112900; 15032979000Anxiety is an inevitable part of life in contemporary society. Anxiety corrupts a person's ability to think, perceive and learn. A person suffering from anxiety usually experiences difficulties in concentrating, remembering the learned material and establishing what the necessary relations among events or people are. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the main anxiety items of the students of two faculties. Factor analysis was performed to form groups of unrelated items by gathering related items in the scale and to rank factor affecting anxiety by their importance. In accordance with the data obtained from studies on the anxiety of engineering and medical students, factor analyses gave the following results for state anxiety: in engineering students there were units accumulated in 5 factors, in medical students there were units accumulated in 4 factors, and for trait anxiety they were in 6 factors for both. Our studies show that even if the STAI results are similar, factor analyses should be carried out and solutions should be sought in accordance with the results. During education in universities, causes of (state - trait) anxiety should be investigated and curriculums should be changed in order to lessen anxiety, psychological and social support units should be established and students should be prepared for the future.Item Metadata only Effects of deficit irrigation on yield and quality of unheated greenhouse grown green bean(Wfl Publ, 2008-04) Büyükcangaz, Hakan; Yazgan, Senih; Ayas, Serhat; Candoǧan, Burak Nazmi; Ayas, Fusun; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Tarımsal Yapılar ve Sulama Bölümü.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Bitkisel ve hayvansal Üretim Bölümü.; C-4137-2019; AAH-2934-2021; 6504449925; 14022195900; 25031127400; 14021271200; 25031095700This study was conducted to determine effect of deficit irrigation on yield for green bean grown under unheated greenhouse condition. The research was carried out at the Agricultural Research Station of Yenisehir High School of Uludag University in Bursa, Turkey, in 2007. In the study, water was applied to green bean as 100, 75, 50, 25 and 0% (as control) of evaporation from a Class A Pan corresponding to 2-day irrigation frequency. Irrigation water applied to crops ranged between 40 and 579 mm, and water consumption ranged between 47 and 582 mm. Irrigation treatments significantly affected fresh bean yield, length and width of green bean, number of seeds per pod, 100 bean weight and dry pod weights percent. The highest yields were 18.88 and 11.64 t ha(-1) for the K1(cp) and K2(cp) treatments, respectively. The lowest yield was found from K1(cp) as 3.26 t ha(-1). Crop yield response factor (k(y)) was 1.066. The highest values for water use efficiency (WUE) and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) were 32.44 and 26.98 and 27.74 and 21.29 kg mm(-1) for the K1(cp) and K3(cp) treatments, respectively. Under the conditions that water resources are scarce, it can be recommended that K3(cp) treatment is most suitable as a water application level for green bean irrigation by drip irrigation under unheated greenhouse condition.Item Metadata only Eisenmenger syndrome: identifying the clues for arrhythmia(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2008-02) Alehan, Dursun; Özer, Sema; Serdar, Muhittin Abdulkadir; Semizel, Evren; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.; 12646191300Objective: The aim of this case-controlled, cross-sectional study is to investigate the tendency towards arrhythmia using noninvasive arrhythmia markers (QT dispersion and heart rate variability) in children with Eisenmenger syndrome. Methods: We studied 23 patients, whose pulmonary-to-systemic resistance ratio was calculated to be greater than 0.75, and who were diagnosed as Eisenmenger syndrome between 1990 and 2001. Twenty healthy children were studied as the control group. Electrocardiographic recordings with calculation of (IT dispersion, Holter monitoring, echocardiographic studies and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis were performed in both groups. Catheterization records were analyzed in all the patients. Results: (IT and QTc dispersion were higher (p=0.007 and p=0.006, respectively) and PR interval was longer (p=0.009) in the patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, than those in the control group. In addition, low frequency component, high frequency component, very low frequency component, and total power, obtained from HRV analysis were significantly lower in the patients with Eisenmenger syndrome (p=0.001, p=0.006, p=0.009 and p=0.011, respectively). Evaluation of Holter recordings revealed pathologic findings in 21.7% of the patients with Eisenmenger syndrome. Pulmonary-to-systemic resistance ratio of the patients with pathologic Holter findings were higher than in the patients with normal Holter recordings (p=0.011). It was also shown that there was a positive correlation between OT dispersion and pulmonary-to-systemic resistance ratio (p=0.048, r=0.416) and between (IT dispersion and PR interval (p=0.009, r=0.532) in the patients with Eisenmenger syndrome. Conclusion: Dispersion of repolarization, being associated with high pulmonary-to-systemic resistance ratio, is increased and autonomic modulation of heart rate is impaired in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome. These findings suggest that arrhythmia risk for patients with Eisenmenger syndrome is higher than in normal controls.Item Metadata only Ethics in a scientific approach: the importance of the biostatistician in research ethics committees(BMJ Publishing Group, 2008-07-01) Atıcı, Elif; Erdemir, Ayşegül Demirhan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Deontoloji Anabilim Dalı.; AAE-4488-2019; 20435506500; 24474053100In medical practice and research it is necessary to consider the rights of the researcher or physician and of the subject or patient, to conform to scientific standards and to examine the appropriateness with respect to laws and moral values. Research ethics committees have an important role to play in ensuring the ethical standards and scientific merit of research on human subjects. Research of no scientific value is also against ethical principles. To obtain valid and reliable results from biomedical research, it is a scientific and ethical obligation to make use of the science of statistics. Therefore, for research to be evaluated using biostatistics intensively from ethical and scientific points of view, a biostatistics expert is necessary on research ethics committees. Developments in Turkey are used as examples.Item Metadata only Impact of a basic nutrition course for residents at a faculty hospital(Karger, 2008) Kırdak, Türkay; İşçimen, Remzi; Tanır, Burak; Kelebek, Nermin; Keskin, Murat; Korun, Nusret; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Beslenme Ünitesi.; 0000-0001-8111-5958; 0000-0003-4526-4352; AAI-8104-2021; 8704181100; 16645821200; 24330408900; 7801569062; 23050640000; 6602316874Background/ Aims: To assess whether a basic nutrition course for residents at a faculty hospital improves their knowledge of nutrition and increases the number of consultation requests for nutrition by alerting participants to the high prevalence of undernutrition in hospitals. Methods: The residents from 34 departments of basic, internal and surgical sciences were recruited to take a 1-day course. Questionnaires, designed to assess knowledge of nutrition, were completed at the beginning and at the end of the course. The results of the questionnaires and the number of consultation demands for nutrition before and after the course were compared. Results: The results of 161 participants were evaluated. The mean (8 SE) numbers of correct answers given to the first and second questionnaires were 14.9 +/- 0.22 and 18.7 +/- 0.21, respectively (p < 0.01). When the number of requests for nutrition consultation during 7-month periods (just before and after the course) were compared, the mean number of requests in each month during these periods were found to be 1.81 +/- 0.58 and 4.06 +/- 1.20, respectively (p < 0.01). Conclusions: A short course of basic nutrition for residents improves their basic knowledge and leads to an increase in the number of consultation requests for nutritional support.Item Metadata only Study of ψ(3686)→ωKK̄π decays(American Physical Society, 2013-05-20) Güler, N. G.; Tapan, İlhan; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Fizik Bölümü; ITN-5046-2023; CCD-9486-2022; 57225312691; 8905787000Based on 106 million ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII, the decay ψ(3686)→ωKK̄π is studied. Enhancements around 1.44 GeV/c2 and the f1(1285) are observed in the mass spectrum of KK̄π, and the corresponding branching fraction (upper limit) is measured, as well as the branching fractions of ψ(3686) →ωK*+K-+c.c. and ψ(3686)→ωK̄*0K0+c.c., all for the first time. © 2013 American Physical Society.Item Open Access A new species of Linum (Linaceae) from west Anatolia, Turkey(Oxford Univ Press, 2007-10-22) Yılmaz, Özer; Kaynak, Gönül; Uludaǧ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Biyoloji Bölümü.; HHJ-0526-2022; FCP-1477-2022; 7103213326; 6602623064A new species, Linum vuralianum Yilmaz & Kaynak, is described and illustrated from west Anatolia, Turkey.
