The aim of this study was to investigate the source and the size of a tularemia outbreak in a village located in a non-endemic area. Five patients from the same village were admitted to hospital with the same complaints all within one week of September 2001. Tularemia was suspected and a diagnosis was made after physical and anamnesis examinations. The village was visited the same week that the patients were admitted to the hospital, in the January and April 2002. The villagers were examined and screened serologically by microagglutination method and the water sources were investigated bacteriologically. A total of 14 people were found to be infected from the outbreak and the oropharyngeal form was the only clinical presentation. Antibody titers ranged between 1:80 and 1:640. The patients responded well to the aminoglycoside plus tetracycline therapy. Examination of the pipewater and three springs revealed that all the water sources were contaminated by coliforms, however, Francisella tularensis could not be isolated in glucose-cystine medium. Antibody levels stayed stable or decreased seven months after. Tularemia had not been reported in this area before, so the first patients were misdiagnosed. In conclusion tularemia should be considered in differential diagnosis of patients with fever, sore throat and cervical lymphadenopaties.

The first case of haemorrhagic meningitis due to Bacillus anthracis in the European part of Turkey is reported here. B. anthracis, sensitive to penicillin, was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures. Although appropriate therapy was administered, the patient died two days after hospitalization.
A Discrete-Time Nonlinear Robust Controller for Current Regulation in PMSM Drives

In this paper, a discrete-time robust current controller is proposed for PMSM drives. The structure of the proposed controller is quite simple and does not require high computational resource. The only difference of the proposed controller from the classical dead-beat controller is the integral term which can easily be implemented in a PMSM drive. The stability analysis of the proposed controller is performed accounting in parametric uncertainties, unmodelled dynamics and disturbances in the mathematical model. The boundedness of the dynamical system and asymptotic convergence of dq-axes currents to their reference values are provided under certain conditions. Various simulation and experimental studies are performed and the results taken at different operation conditions show the validity of the proposed controller.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microshear bond strength (µSBS) of four computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) blocks repaired with composite resin using three different surface treatment protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four different CAD/CAM blocks were used in this study: (1) flexible hybrid ceramic (FHC), (2) resin nanoceramic (RNC), (c) polymer infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) and (4) feldspar ceramic (FC). All groups were further divided into four subgroups according to surface treatment: control, hydrofluoric acid etching (HF), air-borne particle abrasion with aluminum oxide (AlO), and tribochemical silica coating (TSC). After surface treatments, silane was applied to half of the specimens. Then, a silane-containing universal adhesive was applied, and specimens were repaired with a composite, Next, µSBS test was performed. Additional specimens were examined with a contact profilometer and scanning electron microscopy. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey tests. RESULTS. The findings revealed that silane application yielded higher µSBS values (P<.05). All surface treatments were showed a significant increase in µSBS values compared to the control (P<.05). For FHC and RNC, the most influential treatments were AlO and TSC (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Surface treatment is mandatory when the silane is not preferred, but the best bond strength values were obtained with the combination of surface treatment and silane application. HF provides improved bond strength when the ceramic content of material increases, whereas AlO and TSC gives improved bond strength when the composite content of material increases.

With significant technological improvements on earth observation instruments, three dimensional space-borne remote sensing data became indispensable for modelling large areas and continents. To acquire high resolution 3D earth data, actual optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite missions are launched frequently. Korean Multi-Purpose Satellite 3 (KOMPSAT-3), which was launched in May, 2012 by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), is a high-resolution optical observation mission. The 0.7 m ground sampling distance (GSD) and stereo imaging capability of the satellite enables to derive qualified digital surface models (DSM). We generated a 5 m spacing KOMPSAT-3 DSM in Istanbul historic peninsula and estimated its quality by comprehensively analysing the absolute and relative accuracies and the morphological detail description capability. In the analysis, 1 m spacing airborne laser scanning (ALS) DSM was used as reference. Additionally, the ALOS (Advanced Land Observation Satellite) World 3D 30 m (AW3D30) and Sentinel-1A (S-1A) DSMs have been used in comparison with the KOMPSAT-3 DSM. As accuracy metrics, standard deviation (SZ) and normalized median absolute deviation (NMAD) of height differences between KOMPSAT-3, AW3D30, S-1A and ALS reference DSM were used. The results demonstrated that KOMPSAT-3 DEM quality is better than AW3D30 and S-1A both in accuracy and morphologic detail analysis.

Study Design: Retrospective case control. Purpose: The authors of this study assessed whether the prevalence of paraspinal fatty degeneration correlates with the presence of Modic type I and I/II change in patients with low back pain (LBP). Overview of Literature: Modic changes are bone marrow and end plate changes visible on magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: A consecutive series of 141 patients who attended the neurosurgery outpatient clinic between April 2017 and September 2017 for nonspecific LBP were evaluated. Sixty-one patients with single-level Modic type I or I/II change constituted the patient group. Eighty age-, gender-, and body mass index (BMI)-matched patients without any Modic changes were recruited as the control group. A retrospective review was performed in 61 patients with Modic changes and 80 controls without Modic changes. The percentage of fatty muscle degeneration was graded by two reviewers using T2-weighted axial images at the L4–L5 level. The system was graded as follows: grade 0, normal; grade I, minimal focal or linear fat deposition; grade II, up to 25%; grade III, 25%–50%; and grade IV, more than 50%. Results: Sixty-one patients with nonspecific LBP and Modic type I or I/II change and 80 patients without Modic changes were evaluated. There was no difference between these groups in terms of age, gender, and BMI distribution. The mean muscle cross-sectional area in the patient and control groups were 1,507.37±410.63 and 1,681.64±379.69. Regarding fatty degeneration, a chi-square test of homogeneity was run, and the two multinomial probability distributions were not equal within the population analyzed. Conclusions: The novel finding of this investigation is that patients with Modic type I and I/II changes have greater amounts of fatty degeneration in their lumbar paraspinal musculature.
