Abdurrahman Telli 한국섬유공학회 2020 Fibers and polymers Vol.21 No.8

The digital image processing studies are used in order to eliminate problems of subjective pilling evaluation. However, these applications did not come to the desired point. The purpose of this research is to put forward withexplanations about the reasons for the failures of previous studies in objective pilling evaluation. In this study, three issueswere dwelled on. Firstly, data belong to original fabrics (0 turns) were taken into consideration. Secondly, data werestandardized using min-max normalization with a feature scaling approach to compare different fabrics. For this process, dataafter pilling and results belong to original fabrics (0 turns) were taken together. Thirdly, knitted fabrics were separated intodifferent categories according to formed pill types and characteristics after pilling processing. The results were evaluated inthe most appropriate category according to the pill’s structure. Two sample fabrics containing appropriate structure andcharacteristics which were able to explain the three overlooked issues were used. In digital image processing made by payingattention to these mentioned three points, both pill parameters and textural features obtained from digital images weredetermined. The relationships between these parameters and subjective evaluation results were examined.

Are graduate students receiving adequate education and training in fluency disorders?

Nina Santus,Glen Tellis,Fanhui Kong 한국언어재활사협회 2019 Clinical Archives of Communication Disorders Vol.4 No.3

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the fluency education needs and perceptions of speech-language pathology students attending American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) accredited programs at universities in the United States. Previous studies have shown that practicing speech-language pathologists lack knowledge pertaining specifically to assessment and treatment of fluency disorders. We were interested in determining what information students were learning with regard to fluency disorders, and the amount of clinical exposure that students received during their college careers. Methods: A 70-question survey was sent to 258 professors who teach fluency disorders courses in accredited Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) programs. The professors were asked to forward the survey to their students. Data from 766 responding students from 102 different universities were collected. Results: Results indicated that as speech-language pathology students advance through their education, their knowledge and comfort levels increase when assessing and treating fluency disorders. Graduate students, however, reported not having adequate knowledge with regard to administering assessment tests or differentiating between various types of treatment. Conclusions: Systematic training in specific aspects of assessment and treatment of fluency disorders, along with the restructuring of fluency disorders coursework is needed. Increased exposure to fluency disorders continues to be needed for speech-language pathology students at the university level to successfully serve this population.

Background: To evaluate the incidence, diagnosis and management of GTN among 28 centers in Turkey. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was designed to include GTN patients attending 28 centers in the 10-year period between January 2003 and May 2013. Demographical characteristics of the patients, histopathological diagnosis, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) anatomical and prognostic scores, use of single-agent and multi-agent chemotherapy, surgical interventions and prognosis were evaluated. Results: From 2003-2013, there were 1,173,235 deliveries and 456 GTN cases at the 28 centers. The incidence was calculated to be 0.38 per 1,000 deliveries. According to the evaluated data of 364 patients, the median age at diagnosis was 31 years (range, 15-59 years). A histopathological diagnosis was present for 45.1% of the patients, and invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and PSTTs were diagnosed in 22.3% (n=81), 18.1% (n=66) and 4.7% (n=17) of the patients, respectively. Regarding final prognosis, 352 (96.7%) of the patients had remission, and 7 (1.9%) had persistence, whereas the disease was mortal for 5 (1.4%) of the patients. Conclusions: Because of the differences between countries, it is important to provide national registration systems and special clinics for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of GTN.

Haşmet Sarici,Onur Telli,Berat Cem Özgür,Ömer Gökhan Doluoğlu,Muzaffer Eroğlu,Selen Bozkurt 대한비뇨의학회 2014 Investigative and Clinical Urology Vol.55 No.6

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of nocturia according to theInternational Continence Society (ICS) definition in Turkish women and to determinethe associated risk factors and the correlation of other voiding symptoms with nocturia. Materials and Methods: A prospective epidemiological study was carried out by useof self-reported questionnaires in 4,250 reproductive-aged women from January 2013to May 2013. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-ShortForm and a questionnaire developed by the researchers according to the ICS were administeredto define nocturia and other lower urinary tract symptoms. Other physical,reproductive, and health characteristics were also recorded concurrently. Results: Overall, 1,636 women were included in the final analyses. The women had anaverage age of 34.4±5.26 years. The overall prevalence of nocturia was 34.7% (567 of1,636 women). Women with nocturia were older (p<0.001), had a higher body massindex (p=0.026), and had more children (p<0.001). Nocturia occurred more frequentlyin women with a history of nocturnal enuresis (p<0.001). Three or more pregnancies,3 or more deliveries, and age >40 years were significant risk factors for nocturia. Wealso found that other lower urinary tract symptoms correlated significantly (p<0.001)with nocturia. Conclusions: Although the prevalence of nocturia is higher with increasing age, youngeradults are also affected. Nocturia may cause sleep disorders, mood disturbances, reducedquality of life, and distractibility. Thus, even if one void nightly causes a patientto experience bother, nocturia should be queried about and should be treated if necessaryaccording to the cause of the disease.

Number of FoxP3+ regulatory T-cells are associated with recurrence in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma

Deniz Arık,Tutku Benli,Elçin Telli 대한부인종양학회 2023 Journal of Gynecologic Oncology Vol.34 No.2

Objective: Surgical management is essential in early-stage vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), but these surgical procedures often cause significant morbidity. Immunotherapy may be a new treatment option in these patients. FoxP3+ Tregs suppress anti-tumor immune responses. High intratumoral FoxP3+ Treg infiltration has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in most solid tumors. However, there are also conflicting results. We evaluated FoxP3+ lymphocyte infiltration in vulvar SCC and aimed to determine its relationship with prognosis and clinicopathological parameters. Methods: Cases diagnosed with vulvar SCC in our department were retrospectively reviewed. The paraffin block that best reflects the morphology was selected, and immunohistochemical studies were performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. FoxP3+ lymphocyte counts were made in tumoral stroma and within tumoral cell islands separately in hot-spot areas. Results: We found a positive correlation between high FoxP3+ lymphocyte count and good prognostic parameters. There was less recurrence in the group with high FoxP3+ lymphocyte counts in tumoral cell islands. Overall survival was not statistically different between these groups. Less lymphovascular invasion was observed in the group with high lymphocyte count in the tumoral stroma. Conclusion: In vulvar SCC, FoxP3+ Treg infiltration into the tumor stroma and into tumoral cell islands is associated with good prognostic features. In these tumors, stage appeared as the only independent prognostic parameter. Studies to be conducted in larger series may reveal whether Tregs can be targeted in cancer treatment.

Dynamic modeling and analysis of a four-bar mechanism coupled with a CVT for obtaining variable input speeds

Ahmet Yildiz,Osman Kopmaz,Sevda Telli Cetin 대한기계학회 2015 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.29 No.3

This paper proposes a novel concept to obtain variable input speeds for a four-bar mechanism driven by an A.C. motor. In such a system,a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is proposed to use instead of an inverter-controlled motor. By this way, the speed variabilitywhich is crucial for obtaining different manufacturing and transportation processes can be provided by mechanically. Thus, moreefficient system can be achieved than classical motor controlled systems since the CVT allows electrical motor to run at its nominal pointin all conditions. For analyzing the dynamics of this new system, a theoretical model is established regarding that a half toroidal CVT isadded between the motor and the mechanism. The simulation results associated with the systems with and without a CVT are presentedby comparing to each other. The results indicate that the four-bar mechanism equipped with a CVT is feasible for the entire range ofpossible reduction ratios of the CVT.
