Hydrogel burn dressing effectiveness in burn pain
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Celik, Enes; Akelma, Hakan
Severe burns are painful and dramatic injuries. Studies show that pain is underestimated and often not adequately treated. This study aims to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of hydrogel burn dressing and silver sulfadiazine, which are two agents commonly used in first-aid dressings for burn patients. This study, designed as a prospective, observational, and cross-sectional study. Study included 64 pediatric patients admitted to our burn center between 01.03.2020 and 01.09.2020 who were examined by our burn service after their first treatment in the emergency dressing room. Two groups of patients were included in the study. Pain level was assessed in the dressing room before and 10 min after the procedure using the Visual Analog Scale and FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability) pain assessment scales.During the study period, Burnaid (R) was applied to 62.5% of patients (40 patients) and silver sulfadiazine to 37.5% (24 patients). In terms of pain scores, pre-dressing FLACC values were higher in Group B (p = 0.039); post-dressing VAS and FLACC values were significantly lower in group B (p 0.001; p 0.001). In terms of additional analgesia, we found more patients in Group S received analgesics (p 0.001).We believe that its effect on burn wound pain is superior to that of silver sulfadiazine.(c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI.

(Elsevier, 2021) Utli, Hediye; Vural Doğru, Birgül
Aims: The research was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on levels of self-management in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive type of study was conducted between 21 December 2020 and 1 April 2021. It was performed with 378 individuals with type 2 diabetes attending the endocrinology clinic and outpatients' department of a government hospital who agreed to participate in the research. In the collection of data, a Patient Identification Form, Visual Analog Scales (an Anxiety VAS and a Stress VAS), and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) were used. The Wilcoxon test, Independent Sample t test, One-Way Anova and binary logistic regression were used in the analysis of data. Results: The Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) total mean score of the individuals with type 2 diabetes participating in the study during the COVID-19 pandemic was 5.25 ± 1.04. Their anxiety total mean score was 0.32 ± 1.56, and their total mean stress score was 7.06 ± 1.62. Being male, over the age of 65, married and having a diagnosis of diabetes for 6-11 years, increased smoking, the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced physical activity (not walking) and support obtained from health professionals, and increased anxiety and stress levels were found to be risk factors affecting diabetic self-management. Conclusions: The findings show that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the self-management levels of individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Determinants of Mediation Success in Post-Conflict Bosnia: A Focused Comparison
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Zenelaj, Reina; Beriker, Nimet; Hatipoglu, Emre
The main goal of this study is to look at factors determining mediation success in post-conflict environments. More specifically, the authors focus on the level of involvement of the mediator in a post-conflict setting and argue that relational mediation strategies should fare better in such environments. A most similar systems comparison of the European Union/USA and Turkish mediation efforts in Bosnia-Herzegovina, both of which started in October 2009, renders support for the authors' argument. Their analysis of these two cases suggests that Turkey's relational mediation strategy delivered concrete outcomes in post-Dayton Bosnia compared to the structural intervention style adopted by the European Union/USA. The authors conclude that a relational mediation strategy facilitates the achievement of constructive solutions by helping third parties to make broader assessments of the conflict situation, and by offering flexible options in issue selection and process design.

Evaluation of patients diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism by newborn screening between 2011-2019 in Diyarbakir, Turkey
(LWW, 2023) Toktaş, İzzettin; Erdem, Özgür; Sarıbaş, Seyfettin; Özbek, Mehmet Nuri
This study aimed to determine the incidence of congenital hypothyroidism in Turkey’s Diyarbakir Province and assess the development and growth conditions of people with congenital hypothyroidism. Patients born between 2011-2019 and diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism within the scope of the newborn screening program were included. The medical records of these patients were retrospectively reviewed. The length and weight for age, weight for length, and body mass index standard deviation scores were calculated. We investigated the treatment status of the patients, whether their relatives had a similar disorder, and the presence of consanguinity between parents. Blood samples were collected from 380,592 newborns. As a result of further tests, 498 newborns were diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism (incidence: 1/764). Demographic and anthropometric data of 241 patients were analyzed. The patients comprised 46.9% (n = 113) females and 53.1% (n = 128) males. It was determined that 44.4% of the individuals had transient congenital hypothyroidism and 53.6% had permanent congenital hypothyroidism. The parents of 29.8% of the individuals diagnosed with transient congenital hypothyroidism and 44.2% of the individuals diagnosed with permanent congenital hypothyroidism were consanguineous (P = .02). According to the latest anthropometric assessment, 6.8% of individuals diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism had a weight z-score below −2 SD and 16.9% had a length z-score below −2 SD. The incidence of congenital hypothyroidism was higher in our region. The ratio of consanguinity between parents was higher in patients diagnosed with permanent congenital hypothyroidism than in those diagnosed with transient congenital hypothyroidism. According to the most recent follow-up, weight and age were found to be similar in patients with transient and permanent congenital hypothyroidism.

Experiences of visitors to Gallipoli, a nostalgia-themed dark tourism destination: an insight from TripAdvisor
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, 2018) Cakar, Kadir;
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine and understand the experiences of travelers to Gallipoli, by analyzing their online comments and reviews. Design/methodology/approach - The data were garnered from the well-known online user blog TripAdvisor. Data, concerning visiting the Gallipoli Peninsula, were retrieved from (n = 330) travelers' reviews and comments, and were examined using content analysis to elicit and identify their experiences. Findings - Overall, the travelers' reviews and comments mostly conveyed emotional and nostalgic experiences. Further, the travelers' nostalgic experiences of Gallipoli emerged as historical nostalgia deriving from the personal attachment of travelers to the site. Research limitations/implications - The data have shown that the experiences of travelers to Gallipoli can mostly be identified as emotional, which are generally consistent with the current literature. This paper utilized traveler reviews and comments on TripAdvisor, left by tourists who had previously visited Gallipoli, and this represents the limitation of the present study. Thus, to better understand the experiences of travelers visiting Gallipoli, with regard to their psychological aspect, future research should be conducted with travelers either through face-to-face interviews or via a survey. Originality/value - Despite its significance for dark tourists, limited research has been carried out that deals with the experiences of travelers visiting the Gallipoli battlefield. As such, this is the first research project designed to highlight the experience of dark tourism, under the concept of nostalgic tourism, by providing valuable data and a deeper understanding of the field.
The Role of Statins in Modulating Subclinical Inflammatory Markers in Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenon
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2025) Demirci, Murat; Mustafayev, Urfan; Atas, Halil; Oguz, Mustafa; Kilic, Raif; Sunbul, Murat
Coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is characterized by slow coronary blood flow in the absence of significant stenosis, and its pathophysiology is associated with endothelial dysfunction, microvascular abnormalities, and inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of statin therapy on subclinical inflammatory markers in CSFP patients. This retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with CSFP by using coronary angiography. The patients were divided into statin and control groups based on the initiation of statin therapy. Inflammatory markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) were assessed at baseline and 3 months later. At baseline, NLR, PLR, SII, and SIRI levels were comparable between the 2 groups. After 3 months, these markers were significantly lower in the statin group. In the statin group, the NLR, PLR, SII, and SIRI levels significantly decreased from baseline, whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group. The reduction in inflammatory marker levels was more pronounced in patients receiving high-dose statins. Statin therapy is associated with reduced subclinical inflammation in CSFP, supporting the inflammatory basis and therapeutic value of statins.
Effects of Carvacrol on Oxidative Stress and Fibrosis in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Nephropathy: Histological, Gene Expression, and Biochemical Insights
(MDPI, 2025) Canbaz, Halime Tuba; Sozen, Mehmet Enes; Cinar Ayan, Ilknur; Savas, Hasan Basri; Canbaz, Furkan Adem; Cuce, Gokhan; Kalkan, Serpil
Diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to renal damage through oxidative stress. Carvacrol (CAR), a monoterpenoid phenol, possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We investigated the potential effects of CAR on histological, gene expression, and biochemical parameters in a rat model of DM. Four groups were created: group 1, control; group 2 (n = 9), DM; group 3 (n = 9), DM + dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); and group 4 (n = 9), DM + CAR. DM was created by injecting streptozotocin (STZ). CAR (20 mg/kg) was prepared through dissolution in 0.1% DMSO. CAR and 0.1% DMSO were administered daily for 4 weeks to groups 4 and 3, respectively. At the end of this study, urea, creatinine, paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), and arylesterase (ARES) were measured in serum samples. Histopathological changes and expression of Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) in renal tissues were assessed. Immunohistochemical(ihc) staining and RT-qPCR analysis were performed to evaluate apoptosis, focusing on Bax and Bcl-2gene expression. Masson's trichrome(MT) staining and RT-qPCR analysis of COL1A1 and COL3A1 mRNA levels were used to assess fibrosis. Increased urea and creatinine levels in DM were significantly decreased after CAR administration. CAR application also improved reduced levels of PON 1 and ARES, which are associated with diabetes. Both immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR analyses revealed that CAR therapy mitigated the diabetes-induced elevation in Bax and reduction in Bcl-2 expression. CAR treatment improved histopathological findings and renal Nrf-2 immunofluorescence(if) intensity. Furthermore, gene expression analysis demonstrated that COL1A1 and COL3A1 were upregulated in DM, while CAR administration downregulated them. In conclusion, CAR has a protective role in decreasing renal impairment linked to DM by regulating Bax and Bcl-2 levels and rectifying histological damage.

The historical possibility and necessity of (Ilyenkov's) anti-innatism
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017) Azeri, Siyaves
An important aspect of Evald Ilyenkov's theory of social mind is anti-innatism. Anti-innatism is not only the necessary logical outcome of Ilyenkov's overall philosophical system and in particular of his anti-reductionism, but also it is a socio-historically possible and necessary consequence of the capitalist mode of production, which amounts to the formation of a gap between socially formed human knowledge and growth of the productive powers, on the one hand, and value-producing labour, on the other.

Removal of carbol fuchsin from aqueous solution by using three-dimensional porous, economic, and eco-friendly polymer
(Water Environment Research, 2021) Tarhan, Tuba
In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was prepared using a cheap material with a highly simple and different method. PDMS was firstly applied for the removal of carbol fuchsin (CF) cationic organic dye pollution in this study. Besides, the adsorption capacity of 3D PDMS for removal of the CF was found quite high compared to other materials in already published results. The synthesized PDMS was characterized using several spectroscopic and imaging techniques such as FTIR, Raman, SEM, stereomicroscope, EDX, UV/Vis, and TGA. The optimal conditions were found as 10 mg L−1 initial concentration, 20 mg of adsorbent dose, 2 h contact time, pH 10, and 25°C temperature. The removal % of CF and the maximum adsorption capacity were calculated at approximately 89% and 88.8 mg g−1, respectively. Furthermore, the equilibrium studies showed that the Langmuir isotherm model fitted well with the removal of CF. Moreover, according to the kinetic results, the second-order kinetic model was found suitable (qe,cal 89.3 mg g−1 and qe,exp 88.8 mg g−1 close to each other) for the adsorption of CF. Also, the thermodynamic studies indicated that adsorption occurs spontaneously, and the adsorption process was physical adsorption. Besides, the reusability of the adsorbent was studied. Practitioner points: Water treatment technology should be low cost, economically viable and in the meantime, eco-friendly. The 3D porous PDMS was prepared by using cheap material with a highly simple method and eco-friendly This unique material was firstly applied for the removal of organic dye in water in this study.

(Taylor & Francis Online, 2022) Can, Senanur; Çetik Yıldız, Songül; Keskin, Cumali; Şahintürk, Varol; Cengiz, Mustafa; Appak Başköy, Sıla; Ayhanci, Adnan; Akıncı, Gülsema
For centuries, Turkey has been a significant location here around 80 species of Hypericum with differing names widely occur, which is also known as Turkish folk medicine in treating some bacterial diseases as well as stomach and intestine inflammation. Recent studies have reported this herb family to contain numbers of bioactive compound contents. The study aims to investigate the protective effects of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra (HT) upon oxidative stress and apoptosis in a rat model in which testes injury was induced by CP. The testicular injury was caused using CP (150 mg/kg). The rats were treated with a single dose (100 mg/kg) of methanol extract of HT to investigate various biochemical markers in the serum and plasma of blood samples apart from assessing the prognosis of CP-induced testicular damage. Added to that, histological analyses were performed to identify possible structural changes and apoptotic indicators, like Bax, Caspase-3, and Bcl-2. In CP Group, there was a rise in the levels of total oxidant status (TOS), malondialdehyde (MDA), oxidative stress index (OSI), Caspase-3, and Bax while superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), Bcl-2, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) all decreased. Also, our histological analysis showed damaged testes. On the other hand, neither biochemical nor histological analysis showed testicular damage in HT Alone Group. In CP + HT Group, a significant number of the negatives changes due to CP were observed to have improved remarkably following an HT treatment. This study results suggest that HT could help improve CP-induced testicular injury thanks to its anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic properties.

The present study investigates the antioxidant, anticancer, anticholinesterase, anti-genotoxic activities and phenolic contents of flower, fruit and seed methanol extracts of Hypericum retusum AUCHER. The amounts of protocatechuic acid, catechin, caffeic acid and syringic acid in methanol extracts were determined by HPLC. Total phenolic content of H. retusum seed extract was found more than fruit and flower extracts. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of flower and seed methanol extracts showed close activity versus BHT as control. Among three extracts of H. retusum only flower methanol extract was exhibited considerable cytotoxic activities against to HeLa and NRK-52E cell lines. Moreover, seed methanol extract showed both acetyl and butyrl-cholinesterase inhibitory activity. The highest anti-genotoxic effects were seen 25 and 50 μg/mL concentrations. In this study, the extracts showed a strong antioxidant and anti-genotoxic effect. The seed extract was more efficient- than extracts of fruit and flowers. Our results suggest that the antioxidant and anti-genotoxic effects of extracts depend on their phenolic contents. Further studies should evaluate the in-vitro and in-vivo the benefits of H. retusum seed methanol extracts. © 2017 by School of Pharmacy.

Effect of Silver Nanopowder Addition on Mechanical Properties of Silver-Copper Alloy Used in the Jewellery Industry
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2025) Adin, Hamit; Akgul, Sabahattin; Adin, Mehmet Sukru
In this research, silver nanopowder (at rates of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%) was added to 925-carat silver-copper alloy used in manufacturing silver jewellery to increase its durability and to observe its mechanical properties occurred. In this context, different mechanical tests (tensile, bending and hardness) were performed on exclusively produced silver-copper alloys. Moreover, mechanical simulation tests were conducted via ANSYS software using the data obtained from the experimental results. In the tensile tests, it was observed that the use of nanopowder at the rates of 0.5% and 1% positively affected the tensile strength and strain values, while when the nanopowder rate exceeded 1%, both parameters were negatively affected. According to tensile test results, the ductility of the alloy material decreases as the rates of nanopowder addition rise. In the bending tests, it was observed that the addition of 1% nanopowder increased the bending strength significantly; however, other addition rates had a negative effect. Hardness measurements showed that the 1% nanopowder ratio had a much higher effect (in terms of increasing the hardness value) on the hardness value than 0.5%, 1.5% and 2% nanopowder ratios. In order to verify the numerical analysis model, the results of both experimental and numerical analyses were compared. The success of numerical modelling was found to be similar to 96% in terms of both tensile strength and displacement. Many methods are used in the jewellery industry, especially in silver jewellery. To easily shape the material to be used in filigree, repousse, and tattoo techniques, the material must be somewhat soft and pliable. Therefore, if production is carried out using these techniques, it is not advisable to add large amounts of nanopowder to the alloy. Furthermore, adding quite low amounts (0.1%, 0.5% etc.) of nanopowder to the silver-copper alloy will provide efficient results in shaping-based production techniques.

Multi-task learning for arousal and sleep stage detection using fully convolutional networks
(IOP Publishing, 2023) Zan, Hasan; Yıldız, Abdulnasir
Objective: Sleep is a critical physiological process that plays a vital role in maintaining physical and mental health. Accurate detection of arousals and sleep stages is essential for the diagnosis of sleep disorders, as frequent and excessive occurrences of arousals disrupt sleep stage patterns and lead to poor sleep quality, negatively impacting physical and mental health. Polysomnography is a traditional method for arousal and sleep stage detection that is time-consuming and prone to high variability among experts. Approach: In this paper, we propose a novel multi-task learning approach for arousal and sleep stage detection using fully convolutional neural networks. Our model, FullSleepNet, accepts a full-night single-channel EEG signal as input and produces segmentation masks for arousal and sleep stage labels. FullSleepNet comprises four modules: a convolutional module to extract local features, a recurrent module to capture long-range dependencies, an attention mechanism to focus on relevant parts of the input, and a segmentation module to output final predictions. Main results: By unifying the two interrelated tasks as segmentation problems and employing a multi-task learning approach, FullSleepNet achieves state-of-the-art performance for arousal detection with an area under the precision-recall curve of 0.70 on Sleep Heart Health Study and Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis datasets. For sleep stage classification, FullSleepNet obtains comparable performance on both datasets, achieving an accuracy of 0.88 and an F1-score of 0.80 on the former and an accuracy of 0.83 and an F1-score of 0.76 on the latter. Significance: Our results demonstrate that FullSleepNet offers improved practicality, efficiency, and accuracy for the detection of arousal and classification of sleep stages using raw EEG signals as input.

Confounding Factors in the Tear Break-Up Time Test. Influence of Sequential Measurements
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Acet, Yakup; Dag, Yasar
Clinical relevance The tear break-up time (BUT) test is important in diagnosing and monitoring tear film stability, and understanding potential changes in tear film dynamics during repeated measurements could improve the accuracy and reliability of the test in clinical practice. Background The study aimed to examine the changes in BUT value caused by subsequent measurements made in BUT test. Methods A total of 120 female participants were divided into groups (30 individuals each). Participants were divided into four groups based on the interval between two non-invasive tear break-up time (NI-BUT) tests: Group 1 (1-minute interval), Group 5 (5-minute interval), Group 10 (10-minute interval), and Group 15 (15-minute interval). The first NI-BUT test was called Initial NI-BUT (NI-BUT(I)), and the second test was called Subsequent NI-BUT (NI-BUT(S)). The first BUTvalue (BUT1st), the second BUT value (BUT2nd), the third BUT value (BUT3rd), the fourth BUT value (BUT4th), the fifth BUT value (BUT5th), and the average value of the first three BUTs (BUTA3) were compared between the NI-BUT(1) and NI-BUT(S) tests. Results Participant ages ranged from 18 to 36 years, with a mean of 25.1 +/- 3.2 years. The mean values of BUT1st, BUT2(nd), BUT3(rd), BUT4(th), BUT5(th), and BUTA3 in the NI-BUT(I) test were statistically significantly shorter than those in the NI-BUT(S) test for all groups (p < 0.05). The changes in the parameters were statistically significantly greater in Group 1 compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions Subsequent measurements cause increased BUT values. The longer the interval between two measurements, the smaller the differences between the subsequent measurements. When performing the BUT test, a single measurement should be preferred if possible. If the clinician finds the results of a single measurement unsatisfactory and wishes to consider the average of multiple measurements, the interval between tests should be longer than 15 minutes.

Enhancing Vehicle Fault Diagnosis Through Multi-View Sound Analysis: Integrating Scalograms and Spectrograms in a Deep Learning Framework
(Springer London Ltd, 2025) Akbalik, Ferit; Yildiz, Abdulnasir; Ertugrul, Omer Faruk; Zan, Hasan
This study presents a comprehensive framework for vehicle fault diagnosis using engine sound signals, leveraging deep learning models and a multi-view approach. Traditional methods for vehicle fault diagnosis often rely on the expertise of mechanics or diagnostic tools, which can be costly, time-consuming, and may not always provide accurate results. To address these limitations, we propose CarFaultNet, a multi-view model that processes both scalograms and spectrograms simultaneously to capture complementary information from these time-frequency representations. Our approach incorporates transfer learning with pretrained convolutional neural networks, including AlexNet, GoogLeNet, ShuffleNet, SqueezeNet, and MobileNet v2, as well as CarFaultNet, which combines two MobileNet networks. The results demonstrate that CarFaultNet outperforms traditional machine learning methods and single-view deep learning models, achieving a precision of 95.32%, recall of 94.83%, F1-score of 94.99%, and accuracy of 95.00%. Class activation mapping visualizations provide valuable insights into the model's decision-making process, highlighting the regions of the input images that are most influential for the classification of different vehicle faults. By leveraging a large, diverse dataset encompassing various vehicle models and real-world operating conditions, our approach addresses the drawbacks of previous studies and demonstrates the potential of deep learning for practical and effective vehicle fault diagnosis.

Monks Who Are Not Priests Do Not Have the Power to Bind and to Loose: The Debate About Confession in Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century Byzantium
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016) Krausmueller, Dirk
This article focuses on the question whether or not unordained monks can hear confession and give absolution. It argues that until the tenth century this practice was regarded as unproblematic in Byzantium but that after this date the church began to insist on the strict implementation of canon law, which restricted this role to members of the church hierarchy. Through close reading of the surviving evidence it makes the case that this initiative was successful and that many monastic milieus came to accept the position of the secular church.

Activity of nanosized copper-boron alloys against Phytophthora species
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Yiğit, Uğur; Türkkan, Muharrem; İlhan, Hasan; Şimşek, Tuncay; Güler, Ömer; Derviş, Sibel
This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of copper-boron (Cu-B) nanoalloys against a range of Phytophthora species, including P. capsici, P. citrophthora, P. palmivora, P. cinnamomi, P. nicotianae, P. cactorum, P. plurivora, P. inundata, and P. megasperma. The nanoalloys were synthesized via mechanical alloying under an argon atmosphere, resulting in the formation of nanocrystalline Cu-B nanoalloys with irregular morphology and particle sizes ranging from 50 to 240 nm. At a concentration of 250 µg mL−1, the Cu-B nanoalloys demonstrated complete inhibition of mycelial growth, sporangium production, and zoospore germination in all tested Phytophthora species. The EC50 values for mycelial growth ranged from 28.02 to 120.17 µg mL−1, while for sporangium production and zoospore germination, they were below 10 µg mL−1. Furthermore, the nanoalloys exhibited fungicidal activity against specific Phytophthora species, such as P. capsici, P. citrophthora, P. inundata, and P. megasperma, at concentrations of 100, 250, 250, and 250 µg mL−1, respectively. Notably, the Cu-B nanoalloys displayed significant protective and curative effects on tuber rot severity in P. nicotianae-inoculated potatoes, resulting in reductions of 94.13% and 92.61% compared to the control, respectively, at a concentration of 10 µg mL−1 (P < 0.05). These findings highlight the potential of Cu-B nanoalloys as a promising fungicide for the management of plant diseases caused by Phytophthora spp.

Effects of spinal stabilization exercises focusing on the pelvic floor in women with overactive bladder
(Springer, 2023) Toprak Şelenay, Ceyda; Korkut, Zehra; Bülbül, Saliha Beste; Altay, Hafize; Oskay, Kemal
Introduction and hypothesis: The objective was to investigate the effects of spinal stabilization exercises (SSEs) focusing on the pelvic floor with regard to urinary symptoms, pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS), core stability, quality of life (QoL), and perception of subjective improvement (PSI) in women with overactive bladder (OAB). Methods: Patients were randomly divided into SSE (n=23) and control (n=24) groups. The SSE group received SSEs focusing on the pelvic floor for 3 days a week for 8 weeks and recommendation. The control group received only recommendation. Before (BT) and after treatment (AT), urinary symptoms were evaluated with Overactive Bladder Questionnaire-Version 8 (OAB-V8) and bladder diary. PFMS, core stability, and QoL were assessed using the Modified Oxford Scale (MOS), Sharman test, and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) respectively. AT, PSI with a Likert-type scale, and compliance with recommendations using a visual analog scale were assessed. Results: The OAB-V8 and the KHQ scores, the number of voids per day and voids per night decreased and the MOS and the Sharman scores increased in the SSE group (p<0.05). In the control group, the OAB-V8 and incontinence effect, social limitations, emotional state, and sleep sub-dimension scores related to KHQ decreased (p<0.05). The OAB-V8, role and physical limitations, emotional state, and sleep sub-dimension scores decreased more, and the MOS, the Sharman, the PSI, and the compliance with recommendations scores increased more in the SSE group than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: The SSEs focusing on the pelvic floor improved urinary symptoms, PFMS, core stability, QoL, and PSI. This exercise approach may be beneficial in the management of OAB.

Qualitative properties of certain non-linear differential systems of second order
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017) Tunc, Cemil; Dinc, Yavuz
In this paper, we study the boundedness and square integrability of solutions in certain non-linear systems of differential equations of second order. We establish two new theorems, which include suitable sufficient conditions guaranteeing the boundedness and square integrability of solutions to the considered systems. The presented proofs simplify previous works since the Gronwall inequality is avoided which is the usual case. The technique of proof involves the integral test, and two examples are included to illustrate the results. (C) 2016 The Authors.
