The Pathology Of Echinococcosis And The Current Echinococcosis Problem In Western Turkey (A Report Of Pathologic Features In 80 Cases, M. Şerefetti̇n Canda, Meri̇h Güray, Tülay Canda Jan 2003

The Pathology Of Echinococcosis And The Current Echinococcosis Problem In Western Turkey (A Report Of Pathologic Features In 80 Cases, M. Şerefetti̇n Canda, Meri̇h Güray, Tülay Canda

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Echinococcosis is an infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus and E. multilocularis. It manifests as cyst formations in various organs, affecting both humans and animals. The cysts may be unilocular (E. granulosus) or multilocular (E. multilocularis). Multilocular cysts have particular significance, for their macroscopic appearance is reminiscent of malignant tumors and their prognosis is poor. The purpose of this study is to describe our cases and to start a discussion on the current echinococcosis problem in İzmir, western Anatolia. The pathological features of 80 cases of echinococcosis diagnosed at Dokuz Eylül University Pathology Department over the last 21 years have been …

Measurement Of Urine Albumin Levels With A Monoclonal Antibody Based In-House Elisa, Cemaletti̇n Aybay, Resul Karakuş Jan 2003

Measurement Of Urine Albumin Levels With A Monoclonal Antibody Based In-House Elisa, Cemaletti̇n Aybay, Resul Karakuş

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Microalbuminuria is considered to be an early indicator of diabetic nephropathy. We have previously reported the establishment of A-HAlb/98 hybridoma secreting monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes human serum albumin (HSA). In this report, an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed using this antibody for the measurement of urinary albumin (UA) and UA was examined in 24 different samples. A-HAlb/98 was used as the capture antibody by immobilizing onto microtitre plates in ELISA format. HSA-specific polyclonal rabbit immunoglobulin was labelled with biotin and then used as the tracer antibody. The dynamic assay range of ELISA for albumin was established to …


Anti-Hev Antibody Prevalence In Three Distinct Regions Of Turkey And Its Relationship With Age, Gender, Education And Abortions, Di̇lek Olcay, Can Polat Eyi̇gün, Şükrü Volkan Özgüven, İsmai̇l Yaşar Avci, Ahmet Bülent Beşi̇rbelli̇oğlu, Selma Yegane Tosun, Alaaddi̇n Pahsa Jan 2003

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes epidemics in developing countries such as India, Burma, Indonesia, Chad and China, but it causes sporadic cases in developed countries such as the U.S.A., Canada and the U.K. Turkey represents a bridge between HEV endemic and non-endemic areas, and HEV may cause epidemics in Turkey. In this study, the prevalence of HEV in three distinct regions of Turkey and its relationship with age, gender, education and abortions was investigated. Nine hundred ten randomly selected cases from three cities in three geographic regions of Turkey (Manisa from the Aegean region, Elmadağ/Ankara from Central Anatolia and Diyarbakır …


Suicide In The Province Of Eskişehir, Turkey: The Approach Of Forensic Medicine, Yasemi̇n Günay Balci, Emre Albek Jan 2003

Suicide In The Province Of Eskişehir, Turkey: The Approach Of Forensic Medicine, Yasemi̇n Günay Balci, Emre Albek

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

In the present study, a retrospective evaluation of suicides in the province of Eskişehir in 1997-1999 is made. Investigation reports of the Central Prosecutor's Office were obtained and the demographic data of the victims as well as the judicial criteria for the classification as "suicide" were evaluated. There were 94 cases of suicide and 65 of them (69.1%) involved males. Age distribution showed a predominance in the age group of 15-34 years. Suicide in males over 55 years of age occurred more frequently than in females (p < 0.05). Causes of death in suicides included hanging in 68.0% of cases, firearm wounding in 16.0%, jumping from heights in 7.4%, drug intake in 5.3%, railway suicides in 2.2% and butane inhalation in 1.1%; 79.8% of suicides occurred in residences. In 93.6% of the cases, scene investigation reports and drawings were obtainable, while photographs of the scene or of the victim were present in 53.2% of cases. A forensic medicine specialist's inquest had been performed in all cases whilst a medico-legal autopsy had been carried out in only 29.8% of cases. Death certificates were issued following an inquest and scene investigation in 66 cases. Medico-legal autopsies were performed in 73.3% of the cases of firearm wounding, 25.0% of the cases of hanging and 6.7% of suicides committed by other means. In conclusion, we emphasize the importance of a medico-legal autopsy in all suicide cases.

Good Life In The Balance: A Cross-National Study Of Dutch And Australian Disability Perspectives On Euthanasia And Physician-Assisted Suicide, Erik A. Leipoldt Jan 2003

Good Life In The Balance: A Cross-National Study Of Dutch And Australian Disability Perspectives On Euthanasia And Physician-Assisted Suicide, Erik A. Leipoldt

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

This is a cross-national qualitative study with the purpose of obtaining perspectives held by people with quadriplegia and leading figures in disability movements in the Netherlands and Australia on the issues of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (EPAS). A disability voice is not prominent in public debate on EPAS in Australia or the Netherlands, even though people with disabilities are often thought to be vulnerable in relation to EPAS policies. Disability perspectives are potentially valuable in illuminating issues in relation to euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, because issues of dependence, independence, and individual autonomy play important roles in relation to both EPAS …


Saru, A Sara Homolog, Is Repressed By Sart And Regulates Virulence Genes In Staphylococcus Aureus, Adhar C. Manna, Ambrose L. Cheung Jan 2003

Saru, A Sara Homolog, Is Repressed By Sart And Regulates Virulence Genes In Staphylococcus Aureus, Adhar C. Manna, Ambrose L. Cheung

Dartmouth Scholarship

In searching the Staphylococcus aureus genome, we previously identified sarT, a homolog of sarA, which encodes a repressor for alpha-hemolysin synthesis. Adjacent but transcribed divergently to sarT is sarU, which encodes a 247-residue polypeptide, almost twice the length of SarA. Sequence alignment disclosed that SarU, like SarS, which is another SarA homolog, could be envisioned as a molecule with two halves, with each half being homologous to SarA. SarU, as a member of the SarA family proteins, disclosed conservation of basic residues within the helix-turn-helix motif and within the beta hairpin loop, two putative DNA binding domains within this protein …
