Review Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Effectiveness of Postoperative Cephalosporins in Reducing Urinary Tract Infections and Other Parameters Following Transurethral Resection of the Prostate: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(Mosby-elsevier, 2025) Hafez, Wael; Al-Obeidat, Feras; Rashid, Asrar; Venkatachalapathi, Arun Kumar; Massaod, Amr; Albaha, Ziad; Cherrez-Ojeda, Ivan[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - Scopus: 3Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Versus Graston Instrument-Assisted Soft-Tissue Mobilization in Chronic Plantar Heel Pain a Randomized Controlled Trial(American Podiatric Medical Association, 2022) Pisirici, P.; Cil, E.T.; Coskunsu, D.K.; Saylı, U.; Subasi, F.Background: Although there are studies showing that extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization methods are effective in chronic plantar heel pain (CPHP) treatment, there is a need for studies comparing these techniques. We compared the effectiveness of ESWT versus instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization using Graston Technique (GT) instruments in addition to stretching exercises (SEs) in CPHP. Methods: Sixty-nine patients were randomly assigned to three groups: ESWT+SEs (group 1), GT+SEs (group 2), and SEs only (control group) (ratio, 1:1:1). The SEs, twice daily for 8 weeks, were standard for all. Group 1 received low-intensity ESWT; in group 2, GT was the selected method. Visual analog scales (for initial step and activity pain), the Foot Function Index (FFI), the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12), and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia were used pretreatment, posttreatment, and at 8-week and 6-month follow-up. Results: Visual analog scale and FFI scores improved posttreatment and during follow-up in all groups (P < .001). Although effect sizes were greater in groups 1 and 2 than in the control group in initial step pain posttreatment and at 8-week follow-up, group 2 had the highest effect size at 6 months. Mean SF-12 scores in groups 1 and 2 improved on the post-treatment assessment. Furthermore, group 2 showed significant improvements in FFI scores compared with the other groups at 6-month follow-up (F = 6.33; P = .003). Conclusions: Although ESWT+SEs and GT+SEs seem to have similar effects on initial step pain posttreatment and at 8-week follow-up, GT+SEs was found most effective for improving functional status at 6 months in the management of CPHP. © 2022, American Podiatric Medical Association.

Data for this retrospective and descriptive study were collected from January 2021 to April 2021 from the records of patients who were hospitalized in the psychiatry clinic of a training and research hospital between 2018 and 2020. The study sample comprised hospital records of 376 patients. A significant negative relationship was determined between patients'glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and glucose level, duration of mental disorder, number of hospitalizations, and duration of medication use (p < 0.05). According to the analysis of patients' renal functions, mean GFR was statistically significantly lower in women with physical chronic diseases and diagnosed with personality disorders. Psychiatric-mental health nurses should evaluate and monitor renal functions of individuals with mental disorders and take precautions before kidney diseases develop.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Single-center's Early Surgical Outcomes of Living Donor Liver Transplantation(Elsevier Science inc, 2023) Anilir, Ender; Oral, Alihan; Atasoy, Alp; Civan, Hasret Ayyildiz; Topcu, Feyza Sonmez; Bayramoglu, Mert; Unal, BulentBackground. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has become an increasingly common surgical option because the number of cadaveric donors is insufficient to fulfill the organ needs of patients facing end-stage cirrhosis. Many centers are investigating different surgical techniques to achieve lower complication rates. We aimed to examine our complication rates in light of demographic data, graft data, and perioperative findings as a single-center experience. Methods. The study included one hundred and three patients who underwent LDLT for endvein, and bile anastomosis type rates; anhepatic phase; cold ischemia time; operation time; and blood product transfusion rates were analyzed. Biliary complications in patients with single or multiple biliary anastomoses, right or left liver transplants, and with or without hepatic artery thrombosis were analyzed statistically. Results. There was no significant difference in biliary complications between patients who underwent single or multiple bile anastomosis (P = .231) or patients receiving right lobe and left lobe transplants (P = .315). Although there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of portal vein thrombosis between the regular and reconstructed portal vein anastomosis groups (P = .693), the postoperative portal vein thrombosis rate was statistically higher in patients with left lobe transplants (P = .044). Conclusions. Vascular and biliary complication rates can be reduced with increasing experience.Article Effects of Peroperative Cold Ischemia Time and Anhepatic Phase in Adult Living Donor Liver Transplant Recipients: Operation Time That Is Not Affected by the Anhepatic Phase but Is Prolonged by Cold Ischemia Time(Elsevier Science inc, 2024) Anilir, Ender; Topcu, Feyza Sonmez; Sahin, Emrah; Oral, Alihan; Civan, Hasret Ayyildiz; Poyrazoglu, Kursat Orhan; Unal, Bulent; Sönmez Topçu, Feyza; Orhan Poyrazoğlu, Kürşat; Ayyildiz Civan, HasretObjective. It was aimed to examine the overall role of cold ischemia time and anhepatic phase durations in terms of peroperative blood transfusion needs, hospital stay conditions and postoperative charges, and survival in recipients. Material and Methods. One hundred forty-eight adult living donor liver transplant recipients (18 years and older) were included in the study. Whether the anhepatic phase and cold ischemia duration have an effect on the rates of surgery time, blood product transfusion, total hospital and intensive care unit stay, postoperative biliary complications, hepatic vein thrombosis, portal vein thrombosis, early postoperative bleeding, sepsis, and primary graft dysfunction. Was analyzed statistically. In addition, the effect of the anhepatic phase and cold ischemia time on graft survival was statistically examined by creating an average of the patient follow-up period. Results. It was observed that the operation time increased statistically as the cold ischemia time increased (P P = .000). No statistically significant fi cant relationship was found between other fi nd- ings and cold ischemia time and anhepatic phase. Conclusion. Prolonged surgery time due to increased cold ischemia time may be an important fi nding in terms of peroperative and postoperative results of the graft.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Effects of Balance and Strength Training for Ankle Proprioception in People With Chronic Ankle Instability: a Randomized Controlled Study(Amer Podiatric Med Assoc, 2024) Yekdaneh, Asena; Mutlu, Cigdem YaziciBackground: After an ankle sprain, the ligament and joint capsule are damaged, and as a result, proprioceptive sense is damaged, causing a feeling of giving away in the ankle and resulting in recurrent sprains. Given the relevant studies, it has been seen that people with chronic ankle instability (CAI) commonly have deficits in joint position sense and reinjury risks. Joint position sense plays an important role in ankle control, thereby reducing the risk of injury. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effects of balance and strength training on ankle proprioception in people with CAI. Methods: This single-blind randomized controlled study included 29 volunteer participants (21 women and eight men) aged 18 to 30 years. Participants with a Cumberland ankle instability scale score less than or equal to 24 were randomly divided into two treatment groups: strength training (n = 14) and balance training (n = 15). Y balance test, joint position, and vibration sense were evaluated at the beginning and end of the treatment. "Hop to stabilization" exercises were applied to the balance group and resistive bands exercises to the strength group, which were performed for 6 weeks, 35 minutes per day, two times per week. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in the anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial directions of the Y balance test (P = .89, P = .50, and P = .34, respectively), but the strength training group showed significant improvement in ankle proprioception (140 degrees) and vibration sense (fifth finger) (P < .001), and the post hoc Cohen's d effect size values were medium (.52) and small (.25), respectively. Conclusions: The findings of this study show that strengthening and balance exercises have similar effects on dynamic balance, but strengthening exercises are more effective in improving joint position and vibration sense. Given the positive effects of both exercise programs, it is recommended to implement the two interventions separately or together for CAI rehabilitation.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Solution of the Boundary-Value Problem of Heat Conduction With Periodic Boundary Conditions(Springer, 2020) Kanca, F.; Baglan, I.We investigate the solution of the inverse problem for a linear two-dimensional parabolic equation with periodic boundary and integral overdetermination conditions. Under certain natural regularity and consistency conditions imposed on the input data, we establish the existence, uniqueness of the solution, and its continuous dependence on the data by using the generalized Fourier method. In addition, an iterative algorithm is constructed for the numerical solution of the problem.Article Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Versus Graston Instrument-Assisted Soft-Tissue Mobilization in Chronic Plantar Heel Pain a Randomized Controlled Trial(Amer Podiatric Med Assoc, 2022) Pisirici, Pelin; Cil, Elif Tugce; Coskunsu, Dilber Karagozoglu; Sayli, Ugur; Subasi, FeryalBackground: Although there are studies showing that extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization methods are effective in chronic plantar heel pain (CPHP) treatment, there is a need for studies comparing these techniques.

Ihsan; Tunc, Cansu Umran; Atalay, Pinar; Erdogan, Omer; Unal, Gokhan; Bozkurt, Mehmet; Kucukguzel, S. GunizIn this study, a series of novel (S)-Naproxen derivatives bearing a thiosemicarbazide/1,2,4-triazole moiety were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for anticancer activity. The structures of these compounds were characterized by spectral (H-1-C-13 NMR, FT-IR, and HR-MS analyses) methods. All of the synthesized compounds (3a-m, 4a-j) were screened for anticancer activity against human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Among them, (S)-4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-[1-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)ethyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (4b) showed the most potent anticancer activity with a good selectivity (IC50= 9.89 +/- 2.4 mu M). Inhibition of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was investigated in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with compound 4b using Western Blotting. Apoptosis was also detected by AO/EB and JC-1 staining. Furthermore, activation of caspase-3 enzyme activity demonstrated apoptosis. The flow cytometric analysis results showed that compound 4b decreases the number of cells in the G2/M phase and increases the cells in the S phase in a dose-dependent manner. The anticancer activity of compound 4b was also investigated. In the Ehrlich acid tumor model, a well-validated in vivo ectopic breast cancer model, compound 4b had anticancer activity and reduced the tumor volume at both low (60 mg kg(-1)) and high (120 mg kg(-1)) doses in mice, according to our in vivo results.
