The best method to evaluate the pathogenesis of diaphragmatic disorders is to demonstrate the distribution pattern of the phrenic nerve in the diaphragm. For this purpose the branching pattern and the microanatomic features of the phrenic nerve were observed in six rabbits. All diaphragms were stained by using Sihler's stain method. The phrenic nerve divided into three to four branches when entering the diaphragm. These branches were classified as sternal, anterolateral, posterolateral and crural. The crural branches were the thickest whereas the anterolateral branches were the thinnest. Knowledge about the distribution pattern of t . . .he phrenic nerve may be important in surgical approach to the diaphragm. © 2006 Blackwell Verlag Daha fazlası Daha az

In this study, fifteen 2,3-disubstituted-4-thiazolidinone derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of Schiff bases and ?-mercaptoacetic acid. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectral data and elementary analysis. The antihistaminic and anticholinergic activities of the compounds were determined by tests performed on isolated guinea pig trachea in comparison with aminophylline (CAS 317-34-0). Compound 15 (3-(3-(2-methyl-piperidine-1-yl) propyl]-2-(4-methylphenyl) thiazolidin-4-one hydrochloride) showed the highest inhibition (53%). © ECV · Editio Cantor Verlag.

A group G is said to have the Bergman property (the property of uniformity of finite width) if given any generating X with X = X-1 of G, we have that G = Xk for some natural k, that is, every element of G is a product of at most k elements of X. We prove that the automorphism group Aut(N) of any infinitely generated free nilpotent group N has the Bergman property. Also, we obtain a partial answer to a question posed by Bergman by establishing that the automorphism group of a free group of countably infinite rank is a group of uniformly finite width. © 2006 London Mathematical Society.

Background & objectives: Salmonella spp. resistant to second- and third-generation cephalosporins and related antibiotics by production of various extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) are on the rise in Turkey. Early detection of ESBL producing Salmonella is important to institute appropriate treatment in time. In this study rapid detection of ESBL production among clinical isolates of Salmonella was evaluated using double-disk synergy test in a new chromogenic medium. The colour of the medium changes from red to yellow with bacterial growth and red circular inhibition zones are produced around disks containing antibacterials. . . .Methods: A total of 182 clinical isolates of Salmonella were evaluated in this study. The presence of ESBLs in clinical isolates was determined by double-disk synergy test using Mueller-Hinton (MH) agar and Quicolor E&S agar plates. Results: Six isolates were shown to harbour ESBL enzymes with double disk synergy test by Mueller Hinton agar. The same results were obtained using Quicolor E&S agar after 4-6 h by changing its colour in response to the metabolic activity of growing bacteria. Interpretation & conclusion: Our findings showed that with this new medium, the results can be evaluated rapidly within 4-6 h and the enhancement of inhibition zones can be easily detected with the colour changes thus enabling the treating physician to institute the right treatment regimen immediately Daha fazlası Daha az

FLOM-MUSIC (Fractional Lower Order Moment- MUSIC), a high resolution spectral estimation algorithm, is proposed for TOA (Time of Arrival) estimation under non-Gaussian noise. While Gaussianity is the conventional model in statistical signal processing, it does not accurately represent noise with impulsive nature that do occur in some wireless environments. FLOM-MUSIC is, in particular, designed for the ?-stable model of impulsive noise and the peaks of its pseudo-spectra are used to estimate impulse response of the channel, i.e. the TOA of the impulse over each path in the channel. It is assumed that the first arriving path of the m . . .ulti-path indoor channel is LOS (Line-of-Sight) and the delay of the first arrival is taken as the TOA estimate. Simulation results indicate that FLOM-MUSIC accurately estimates multi-path delays of indoor radio channel and outperforms the conventional second-order statistics based MUSIC under impulsive noise, modelled as ?-stable. © 2006 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic, progressive disease with complex therapy protocols requiring major coping efforts from patients to achieve and maintain glycaemic control in order to reduce risk of diabetic complications. Disease coping strategies including good knowledge of diabetes and high ability of self-care have been reported to be impaired by alexithymic features. Alexithymia is a psychological construct characterised by inability to express emotions verbally, poor imagination and operational thinking, leading to failure in psychological self-regulation. Objective: To compare prevalence of alexithymia and mean Toro . . .nto Alexithymia Scale-26 (TAS-26) scores in diabetic patients with non-diabetic controls; to investigate the association of alexithymia with glycemic control in diabetes. Method: In this cross-sectional study, TAS-26 scores of 193 diabetic patients and 49 non-diabetic controls were compared. Disease related factors were obtained from patient records. Alexithymia was used as a continuous (mean TAS-26 scores) and semi-quantitative (dichotomised into non-alexithymic 11>TAS-26 scores>11 and alexithymic individuals) variable. Descriptive data are presented as mean±SD, median (range) or %. Differences in means were compared via Independent-Samples T Test and One-Way ANOVA. Proportions were analysed with chi-square test and odds ratios (OR) were calculated via cross tabulation with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The control group was similar with respect to age, gender and education with the diabetic group. In the diabetic study population (n=193, male/female: 42/58%, age 54.2±14.0 years, median diabetes duration 7 years (1-32 years), postprandial blood glucose (PBG) 243±110 mg/dl, HbA1c 7.3±3.6%) prevalence of alexithymia was significantly higher than in the control group (65 % in diabetics vs. 45 % in controls, p=0.011; mean TAS-26 score 12.3±3.7 vs. 10.6±3.6, p=0.004, respectively). Poor postprandial glycaemic control (p=0.002), female gender (p=0.026), combination therapy (p=0.037) and poor educational level (p=0.005) were positively associated with TAS-26 scores in diabetic individuals. Alexithymic diabetic patients were less educated (OR=1.2, p=0.046) and under worse glycaemic control (OR=2.4, p=0.005) compared to their non-alexithymic counterparts. Conclusion: Being more prevalent among diabetic individuals and related to glycaemic control, alexithymia should be considered in the multidisciplinary therapeutic approach to diabetic patients Daha fazlası Daha az

Amaç: Yazında erken çocukluk dönemindeki beslenme sorunlarının annelerdeki ruhsal bozukluklarla ilişkili olabileceği bildirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada yeme reddi yakınması ile kliniğe getirilen çocukların annelerinde kişilik bozuklukları sıklığının, depresyon ve anksiyete belirtilerinin saptanması ve aile işlevlerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya yeme reddi yakınmasıyla kliniğe başvuran 1-6 yaşları arasında 30 çocuk ve annesi alınmıştır. Beslenme sorunu olmayan 30 çocuk ve annesi kontrol grubunu oluşturmuştur. Çocukların annelerine Beck Depresyon Envanteri, Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri, Aile Değerlendirme Ölçe . . .ği ve SCID-II Kişilik Envanteri uygulanmış, anneler SCID II görüşmesi ile kişilik bozuklukları açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Yeme reddi olan çocukların annelerinin depresyon ve anksiyete belirti düzeylerinin kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek olduğu, algıladıkları aile işlevlerinin de daha sağlıksız olduğu saptanmıştır. Annede kişilik bozukluğunun varlığı açısından iki grup arasında anlamlı farklılık belirlenmemiştir. Sonuç: Bulgular, yeme reddinin sadece çocuk ya da annenin özellikleriyle değil, tüm ailenin işlevleri ile ilişkili olabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Beslenme sorunları olan çocukların değerlendirme ve tedavisinde tüm aileyi kapsayan bir yaklaşım yararlıdır. Objective: A review of the literature reveals that feeding problems during early childhood can be related to maternal psychiatric disorders. We aimed to evaluate the personality disorders, levels of depression and anxiety symptoms in the mothers of children with food refusal in addition to family functioning. Method: Thirty children aged between 1 and 6 years admitted to the clinic for food refusal and their mothers were included in the study. The control group consisted of 30 healthy children and their mothers. The Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, McMaster Family Assessment Device and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Personality Disorders were performed in mothers, and the presence of any personality disorders was evaluated with the SCID-II Interview. Results: The depression and anxiety scores of the mothers of patients were higher than those of the controls. Perceived family functioning by mothers of patients was more problematic than that of the controls. Rates of maternal personality disorders were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: Food refusal is not only related to characteristics of the child or his/her mother, but also to problems in family functioning. An integrative approach which evaluates the whole family is helpful to assess and treat children with food refusal Daha fazlası Daha az

A keratoacanthoma of the vulva in a 33-year-old woman is described. The patient presented with a rapidly growing exophytic lesion of 1 cm in diameter over the clitoris that had been present for a couple of months. An excisional biopsy was performed. Pathologic examination of the exophytic nodule showed squamous proliferation with a characteristic central keratin- filled crater. There were pushing margins. High power microscopy showed squamous cells of cytologically bland appearance with glassy cytoplasm. There were few mitotic figures. Less than 10% Ki-67-positive staining nuclei were seen. There was no p53 oncoprotein overexpressio . . .n. Keratoacanthoma of the vulva is rare with only five cases having been reviewed in the English literature since 1985. Keratoacanthomas are rapidly growing crateriform lesions on the sun-exposed skin of the elderly. Because of its rarity in the vulva, the lesion can be misinterpreted as a malignant lesion such as squamous cell carcinoma. Awareness of vulvar occurrence of keratoacanthoma and its characteristic histopathologic features will help avoid misdiagnosis of a squamous cell carcinoma leading to radical surgery. © 2006 The Authors Daha fazlası Daha az

BACKGROUND We aimed to determine the level of knowledge of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) physicians on Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and medicolegal responsibilities in conjunction with related factors. METHODS Fifty-three physicians (43 male, 10 females; mean age 39 years; range 28 to 50 years) employed in EMS were required to respond a questionnaire consisting of demographic data and educational background. They also answered 25 multiple-choice questions about BLS, ACLS and medicolegal responsibilities of physicians in a face-to-face manner. The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis Analysis of Variance test. RESULTS Mean level of knowledge was 45.4 on a hundred-point scale. Attendance to courses covering emergency aid and working as an ambulance physician for more than one year were associated with higher levels of knowledge (p0.012; p0.015). CONCLUSION In-service training should be undertaken to raise the level of knowledge of the physicians employed in rural EMS and to improve the quality of field care Daha fazlası Daha az
