Evaluation of extracranial carotid flow velocities in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke: A clinical study conducted in Turkey

Objective. The mechanism underlying the relationship between carotid flow velocities and stroke events remains unclear. This study aimed to reveal the relationship of flow velocity measurements with risk factors in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Material and methods. A group of patients between the ages of 41-90 who applied to Mengücek Training and Research Hospital in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey between 2014-2015 due to acute ischemic stroke were included. Groups with large artery atherosclerosis and small-vessel occlusion according to the Toast classification were included in the study. Brain tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiography, high-resolution color Doppler Ultrasonography examinations were performed. Internal carotid artery peak-systolic and end-diastolic flow velocity, common carotid artery peak-systolic and end-diastolic flow velocity, internal carotid artery peak systolic-common carotid artery peak-systolic velocity ratio and common carotid artery intima-media thickness were measured with Doppler Ultrasonography. The relationship between carotid flow velocities and brain infarction volume, comorbid factors, biochemical variables, left ventricular systolic-diastolic dysfunction was defined by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21.0. Outcomes. In acute ischemic stroke groups, a significant negative correlation between common carotid artery end-diastolic flow velocity and brain infarction volume, a significant positive relationship between common carotid artery peak-systolic velocity and smoking, a significant positive correlation between common carotid artery intima-media thickness and blood glucose and hba1c, a significant negative correlation between common carotid artery end-diastolic flow velocity and hypertension, a significant relationship between common carotid artery end-diastolic flow velocity and ischemic heart disease, an increase in cerebral infarction in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and a decrease in Internal carotid artery peak-systolic flow velocity in patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction were detected. Conclusions. In clinical practice, Doppler ultrasound is currently the main diagnostic tool for evaluating the diagnosis of carotid stenosis. In stenosis in the carotid artery system, it should be known as a basic rule that the flow velocity in the stenosis area increases, except for in severe stenosis and four basic measurements should be made to determine the degree of stenosis clearly. These measurements are peak systolic flow velocity (PSV), end-diastolic flow velocity (EDV), peak-systolic flow velocity ratio (ICA/CCA PSV). The purpose of sonographic evaluation of the extracranial cerebral arteries is to prevent bad sequelae and permanent deficits together with cerebral infarction.

Transfer Factors of Natural Radionuclides from Soil to Medicinal Plants used by Local People in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey

Medicinal plants are very useful plants for humans with the various molecules and vitamins they contain. Most of the plants that grow spontaneously in nature were taken into agricultural production practices after their healing properties were discovered. The use of pure active ingredients obtained from plants is quite common. These effective compounds are also used by the pharmaceutical industry in the preparation of modern drug formulations. However, possible high levels of natural radionuclides in medicinal plants, particularly 226Ra, 232Th and 40K, have upraised anxieties regarding radiological risks from plant consumption. In this study, the natural radionuclide activity concentrations of 8 commonly used medicinal plants in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey were determined by gamma spectrometric method using NaI(Tl) detector. Mean transfer factor (TF) values from soil to plant were found to be 0.59, 0.88 and 1.52 for 226Ra, 232Th and 40K, respectively.

Seropozitifity of Anti-Echinococcus granulosus in Patients with of Clinical Prediagnosis Cystic Echinococcosis at Kafkas University Health Research and Application Hospital

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a common zoonotic disease in the world, which is caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus settling in various organs in both animals and humans. It is common in livestock breeding areas and rural areas. This study was conducted to determine anti-E. granulosus seropositivity in patients with clinical pre-diagnosis/suspected CE in Kafkas University Health Research and Application Hospital in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. Study material; between January 2018 and December 2020, 498 blood samples were sent to the Parasitology Laboratory from patients with clinical pre-diagnosis of CE, who applied to Kafkas University Health Research and Application Hospital for three years. The obtained serum samples were analyzed by indirect hemagglutination method. Anti-Echinococcus granulosus antibodies were detected in 74 (14.9%) of 498 patients with clinical pre-diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Of the positive cases, 53 (71.6%) were observed in women, and 21 (28.4%) in men (p<0.05). Anti-E. granulosus antibodies were most commonly detected in the 16-30 age group (32.9%) (p<0.05), and 19.3% in the 16-60 age group. Although the study data do not cover the entire Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, it has been concluded that KE maintains its importance as a public health problem in the region.

A. vineale'nin Morfolojik Karakterizasyonu

Allium vineale L. is a wild edible Allium species. This species is collected from nature by the local people in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and consumed as a vegetable. Aboveground organs of A. vineale plants are used in herbed cheese production in the eastern provinces. Collection from nature is not a sustainable way production of this species. A. vineale can be propagated via seeds and bulbils. It is suitable for cultivation under field and protected conditions. For agricultural production of this species, new cultivars with improved yield and quality traits have to be developed. In this study, an A. vineale germplasm was created with the aim of developing new cultivars that can be used in herbed cheese production. The accessions included in the germplasm were characterized for desired traits such as adaptability to culture conditions, agronomic characteristics and harvest uniformity. The phenotypic diversity of A. vineale accessions were examined using morphological descriptors derived from International Union for the protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). According to the clustering and principal component analysis (PCA) made by evaluation of the morphological features, the accessions were divided into two main groups based on the locations. Germplasm accessions differ from each other for leaf waxiness and color intensity. A. vineale can be distinguished from other Alliums present in the same area with thin leaves, short plant height, and multiple bulbils in the flower scapes.

Extension of FEMA and SMUG models with Bayesian best-worst method for disaster risk reduction

Turkey is one of the countries that face many natural and man-made disasters. The entire geography of Turkey is affected by these disasters and the secondary disasters resulting from them. Tunceli is located in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and is a disaster-prone region. Therefore, it is important to carry out an adaptable hazard analysis for the region and support the national disaster risk reduction struggle. In this study, a comprehensive disaster hazard analysis was conducted for Tunceli province, and potential mitigation measures were discussed. As methodological background, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and SMUG (Seriousness Manageability Urgency Growth) models, which are well-known methods, were extended under the Bayesian Best-Worst Method (BWM). Bayesian BWM is a pairwise comparison-based multi-criteria decision-making method that takes a probabilistic view of the experts' group decision without losing information, providing less pairwise comparison and higher consistency. Nine different disaster hazards for the Tunceli region are prioritized by the proposed approach. Initially, weights of the risk parameters in FEMA and SMUG and the priority values of disaster hazards based on each parameter were calculated. Then, ranking orders were determined. In addition, more precise evaluations were made for the results obtained with the credal ranking graphs. Some comparative studies were also included in the study to test the solidity of the approach. According to the results, both models showed that the top priority hazard for Tunceli is “earthquake”. Also, flood, mass movement, terrorism, and epidemics are hazards with higher priority to be taken into account. Considering the final preference values of disaster hazards for Tunceli province, the first three hazards for the FEMA model are earthquake with 0.192, mass movement with 0.141 and flood with 0.114, respectively. In the SMUG model, earthquake with 0.194, flood with 0.129 and epidemic disease with 0.120 are in the first three places.

Prevelance of Fabella: An MRI Study in The Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey.

The fabella, which is generally located in the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle, is a sesamoid bone that articulates with the posterior face of the lateral femoral condyle. As traditional information, the prevalence of fabella is between 10-30% in the population and is usually present in both knees. The objective of this study was to investigate the knee MRIs in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey subjects in order to assess the prevalence of the fabella and analyse the differences between gender, age and laterality and its symmetry pattern. This study was a retrospective study in patients older than 18 years whose knee MRIs were taken between February 2014 and February 2016. In this study, a total of 531 patients (290 females and 241 males) were included. The radiographs were examined by two orthopedic surgeons and the fabella was located. Later, an expert radiologist made the final decision and confirmed the results. The number of patients included in the study was 531. We detected os fabella in 59 (11.1%) patients. Of the 59 os fabella, 33 were in the right knee and 26 were in the left knee, 38 were female and 21 were male. In this study, we investigated the age and gender differences besides the prevalence and the symmetry pattern of the fabella in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey's population. Prevalence of the fabella was found to be 11.1% which is different than previously published studies.
