Yilmaz, Muhammet Bahadir,Egemen, Emrah,Ozbakir, Bora,Tekiner, Ayhan The Korean Neurosurgical Society 2013 Journal of Korean neurosurgical society Vol.53 No.1

Thinning of parietal bone bilaterally is extremely rare but well known phenomenon. Approximate prevalence is 0.4-0.5% according to radiological scans, case reports and anthropologic researches. Even though biparietal osteodystrophy occurs mostly in over 60-year-old women, it shows no special association with race or geographical area tendency. Current definition was changed by understanding that is a pathological situation, not an anatomical variety or result of growing old in time. Biparietal osteodystrophy may have an unusual presentation and treatment still remains unclear. We aim to present a patient with biparietal osteodystrophy associated with minor head trauma that caused parietal fracture and epidural hematoma underneath.

Maulana and sekanjabin (oxymel): a ceremonial relationship with gastronomic and health perspectives

Orhan Halil İbrahim,Yılmaz İlkay,Tekiner İsmail Hakkı 한국식품연구원 2022 Journal of Ethnic Foods Vol.9 No.-

Sekanjabin , also known as  Oxymel , is an ancient beverage including honey, fermented vinegar, water, and various fruits and herbs. Great physicians Hippocrates, Galen, and Avicenna recommended treating gastrointestinal disorders, pain, asthma, thoracic, cough, sore throat, foul, and breath. Furthermore, Maulana, a symbol of tolerance that is humanism-flexible and non-violent, frequently mentions this beverage in his great masterpieces “ Divan-ı Kebir ” and “ Masnavi .” Therefore, it can be evaluated as an intangible cultural heritage of Western and near Asian civilizations and has a significant and ceremonial role in Maulana and Maulawi Culture. From a gastronomic and health perspective, this study explored the ceremonial relationship between Maulana and sekanjabin.

Sphingomonas Paucimobilis : A Rare Infectious Agent Found in Cerebrospinal Fluid

Goker, Tuncer,Asik, Rahile Zulal,Yilmaz, Muhammet Bahadir,Celik, Ilhami,Tekiner, Ayhan The Korean Neurosurgical Society 2017 Journal of Korean neurosurgical society Vol.60 No.4

Sphingomonas paucimobilis (S. paucimobilis) is a gram negative bacillus. It has existed in soil, drinking water and plants. It has been isolated from distilled water tanks, respirators, and hemodialysis devices at the hospital setting. Patients with chronic disorders or immune suppression may be susceptible to infections with it. This microorganism has also been reported to infect healthy persons. Both nosocomial and community-acquired infections have been reported. So far, a variety of infections have been reported, including sepsis, septic pulmonary embolism, septic arthritis, peritonitis, and endophthalmitis. Only 2 cases of meningitis have been reported so far in the literature. So far, no previous reports of culture proliferation have been reported in patients with external ventricular drains, as was the case in our patient. Therefore, our case is the first to have S. paucimobilis proliferation in cerebrospinal fluid culture during intensive care unit stay for an external ventricular drain.

이 글은 1999년 5월 13일~15일에 이스탄불의 보스포루스 대학교 (Boğaziçi Üniversitesi)에서 열린 제 13회 (터키) 언어학 회의에서 “Türkçe’de kaynaştırma sesleri [터키어의 연결음들]”이라는 제목으로 발표되어 2000년에 이스탄불에서 A. Sumru Özsoy 및 Eser E. Taylan의 편집으로 다른 발표문들과 함께 XIII. Dilbilim Kurultay Bildirileri, 13.~15.

One of the phonological phenomena that the linguists and grammarians of Turkey have difficulty in explaining is the appearance of consonants /y, n, s, ş/ between the final vowel of a word and the initial vowel of the suffix. In Turkic languages and dialects, the only gap-filling sound between two vowels is /y/. The consonant /s/ appearing between the final vowel of a word and the third person possessive suffix {-I} might be a plural suffix by origin; {-sI} has been regarded later through syllabication and false analysis as the variant of the third person possessive suffix {-I} after a vowel. The variant {-şAr} after a vowel of the distributive suffix was also fixed through syllabication and false analysis. The consonant /n/ in the declension of the demonstrative pronouns and in the declension of words with the third person possessive suffix was originally the final sound dropped in the nominative case. The consonant /n/ after a vowel in the genitive case was fixed through syllabication and false analysis. The consonant /n/ in the declension of words with the suffix {-ki} is presumably a part of that suffix. The consonant /n/ in the declension of kendi is the result of an false analysis.

A rapid and direct method for half value layer calculations for nuclear safety studies using MCNPX Monte Carlo code

Tekin H.O.,ALMisned Ghada,Issa Shams A.M.,Zakaly Hesham M.H. 한국원자력학회 2022 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.54 No.9

Half Value Layer calculations theoretically need prior specification of linear attenuation calculations, since the HVL value is derived by dividing ln(2) by the linear attenuation coefficient. The purpose of this study was to establish a direct computational model for determining HVL, a vital parameter in nuclear radiation safety studies and shielding material design. Accordingly, a typical gamma-ray transmission setup has been modeled using MCNPX (version 2.4.0) general-purpose Monte Carlo code. The MCNPX code's INPUT file was designed with two detection locations for primary and secondary gamma-rays, as well as attenuator material between those detectors. Next, Half Value Layer values of some well-known gamma-ray shielding materials such as lead and ordinary concrete have been calculated throughout a broad gamma-ray energy range. The outcomes were then compared to data from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The Half Value Layer values obtained from MCNPX were reported to be highly compatible with the HVL values obtained from the NIST standard database. Our results indicate that the developed INPUT file may be utilized for direct computations of Half Value Layer values for nuclear safety assessments as well as medical radiation applications. In conclusion, advanced simulation methods such as the Monte Carlo code are very powerful and useful instruments that should be considered for daily radiation safety measures. The modeled MCNPX input file will be provided to the scientific community upon reasonable request.

X-ray CT monitoring of macro void development in mortars exposed to sulfate attack

Ilker Tekin,Recep Birgul,Huseyin Y. Aruntas 사단법인 한국계산역학회 2018 Computers and Concrete, An International Journal Vol.21 No.4

This study reports the results of nondestructive monitoring of macro void developments in mortars manufactured with both ordinary Portland cement and sulfate resistant cement. Two types of curing were utilized; tap water curing and another curing environment that contains 5% Na2(SO4) solution. Being the primary objective of this study, macro void developments of the mortar specimens were monitored by X-ray Medical Computerized Tomography. Compressive strength tests and water absorption tests were conducted on specimens that were kept in both curing environments for a duration of 560 days. Data analyses yielded consistent results among the three tests used in this experimental study. Macro void ratios of mortars decreased at the beginning of experiments for a certain period; afterwards, macro void ratios increased. The objective of this study was accomplished as anticipated since X-CT image analysis was able to nondestructively monitor macro void development process in cement mortars.

Poster Session : PS 0280 ; Gastroenterology : Subileus Caused by Infl ammation and Edema After Use of Surgical Silky Suture: Case Report

( Omer Tekin ),( Veysel Ozalper ),( Mesut Tiglioglu ),( Yalcin Onem ),( Fehim Diker ) 대한내과학회 2014 대한내과학회 추계학술대회 Vol.2014 No.1

Objective: Gastrointestinal foreign bodies(GFB) may cause problems in all age groups. After gastrointestinal bleeding, they are second common indication for urgent gastrointestinal endoscopy. Case Report: A 20-year-old male was admitted to our Emergency Service complaining of vomiting and severe abdominal pain. The patient reported postprandial nausea and vomiting for last 2 days and a repair operation for perforated duodenal ulcer a year ago. Physical examination revealed an abdominal distension with the lack of peritoneal irritation signs (e. g. rebound, rigitidy). Laboratory tests including complete blood count, acute phase reactants, serum electrolytes, liver function tests, amylase and lipase levels were normal. Plain abdominal X-ray showed that the stomach was distented with intestinal gas and 3 signifi cant air-fi uid levels were seen in bowels at different heights(fi gure-1). Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed for ruling out the mechanical obstruction. Endoscopy revealed that infi ammation and edema caused by three silky stitchs remained ex-surgery. Infi ammation and edema caused to subileus were seen on the duodenal mucosal wall affected by silky suture materials( fi gure-2). Patient required a therapeutic intervention with proper methods of extraction to alleviate the symptoms. Non absorbable surgical suture material was taken out by endoscopic procedure. After the endoscopic intervention patient`s complaints decreased signifi cantly. He was treated with a proton pump inhibitor and a prokinetic agent. The symptoms improved by treatment. Conclusion: Long standing GFB may conclude infiammation, edema, ulceration or perforation in the gastric and duodenal wall. Many foreign bodies pass the gastrointestinal tract, spontaneusly. But iatrogenic foreign body (silky suture-mediated) need urgent intervention.

Is the Reference Electrode Location Important for the Electromyography Evaluation of the Pelvic Floor in Urodynamic Studies?

Ali Tekin,Murat Pehlivan,Sibel Tiryaki,Ömer Barış Yücel,Uygar Bağcı,Hasan Çayırlı,İlker Zeki Arusoğlu,İbrahim Ulman 대한배뇨장애요실금학회 2022 International Neurourology Journal Vol.26 No.4

Purpose: Perineal electromyography (EMG) is a crucial part of urodynamic studies. Many researchers focused on the standardization of techniques in urodynamics, but no study has yet evaluated the differences with various reference electrode placements. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal placement of the reference electrode for recording pelvic floor activity in urodynamic studies. Methods: Children over 6 years of age without anatomic or neurological abnormalities were invited to participate in the study. Four reference electrodes were placed on the right kneecap, the inner surface of the right inner thigh, the right anterior iliac spine (AIS), and the skin over the left gluteal muscles for simultaneous recording. The EMG signal formed by pelvic contraction during forceful straining was recorded both in the supine and sitting positions. The root mean square (RMS) value of each muscle contraction signal was calculated. Results: Twenty-one participants (10 boys and 11 girls) were included. The mean age was 10.19±3.20 years. The highest RMS values were obtained with the reference electrode on the thigh in the supine position and the AIS in the sitting position. Significant differences were found between the mean RMS values of the knee and other locations of reference electrodes in the supine position, as well as between mean RMS values in all regions except the thigh and gluteus in the sitting position. The minimum mean RMS values in both positions were obtained with the reference electrode on the knee. Conclusions: During urodynamic studies, reference electrodes shall be placed on AIS in the sitting and on the inner thigh in the supine position. The knee is not a suitable option for reference electrode placement. This information may help improve EMG recordings in the evaluation of pelvic floor muscles.
