An Analysis of Children With Brucellosis Associated With Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
(2016) Karaman, K.; Akbayram, S.; Kaba, S.; Karaman, S.; Garipardiç, M.; Aydin, I.; Öner, A.F.
This retrospective study included seven paediatric cases aged from 4 to 14 (10.2±3.4) years with pathologically proved haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis from a single institution during 2009 and 2013. Over this time period, 496 patients with brucellosis were diagnosed. None of the patients (3 boys and 4 girls) had a history of any haematologic disorder. All patients had an anamnesis for recently consumed unpasteurised homemade dairy products or had a contact history with sheep and/or cows. The diagnosis of brucellosis was confirmed by standard tube agglutination test in all patients; titres were 1: 1280 in seven patients. Blood culture was positive for Brucella melitensis in three patients (42%). Bone marrow cultures were positive for B. melitensis in four patients (57%). Fever was present in all patients (100%) with haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The other most common symptoms were malaise, myalgia, anorexia, sweating and weight loss. In addition, sweating was observed in five patients, and lymphadenopathy, petechiae, and weight loss were observed in one patient. Hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and hepatosplenomegaly were found in four (57%), six (85%) and four (57%), patients, respectively. Haemophagocytosis was documented in bone marrow examinations of all children except in two cases. All patients recovered completely, and their peripheral blood counts returned to normal by 2 to 4 weeks after antibiotic treatment of brucellosis.
Attribution in Turkish With Dependency Tree Analyses
(Ahmet Yesevi University, 2013) Aydin, I.
In the general system of the natural tongues, attribution, which undertakes the function of cluster restriction and cluster equipment, can be categorized in two main groups, namely, noun phrases and subordinate clauses. The process of cluster restriction is realized by way of the reduction of the number of elements in the cluster, to which a concept has been attributed, based on a certain characteristic. In the function of cluster equipment, the dimensions of a given concept remain unchanged. However, this concept can be enriched through a number additional attribution to be equipped. Noun phrases are determinative phrases, which report no judgement and which are constructed from more than one word aggregated around a head noun. In the general sequence of Turkish language, the simplest attributive phrase is the adjective phrase made up of adjective and noun. An adjective ascribes some property, quality or status to the entity denoted by a noun. When adjectives attribute nouns, they become attributive adjectives, and when they attribute the action they become adverbs of manner. Relative clauses with adjectival function are complicated structures which attribute noun phrases, and they are generally constructed by taking participle suffixes like -(y)An, - DIK (-DIǧI), mIş, or -(y)AcAK (-EcEǧİ). Relative clauses precede the noun phrase they modify, in the same way that adjectives precede the noun they modify. In this study an argument has been made about how the attributive functions of noun phrases and subordinating clauses are realized, and the structural characteristics of attribution in Turkish in the context of dependency model (dependency tree) developed by Tesnière's Dependency Grammar Theory have been investigated.
Follow-Up Ultrasonographic Examinations in Pregnant Bitches - Evaluation of Frequency and Significance of Embryo Resorption
(Schattauer GmbH, 2010) Sendag, S.; Dinc, D.A.; Celi, H.A.; Aydin, I.; Wehrend, A.
Objective: Follow-up ultrasonographic examinations in pregnant bitches to evaluate frequency and significance of embryo resorption. Material and methods: In 39 Kangal bitches the number of gestational sacs was measured and vitality of embryos/fetuses was evaluated by real time ultrasonography daily from the 15th till the last day of gestation. Results: Five bitches (12.8%) showed embryonic resorption and one of these bitches exhibited a complete resorption. Fetal death could be observed in four females and was related to a total loss of the litter. After the first evidence of embryonic death gestational sacs remained detectable for 8.6 ± 0.5 days.The number of embryos of bitches with (10.8 ± 1.8) or without embryo resorption (8.2 ±2.1) was statistically significantly different (p < 0.05). On the other hand there was no statistically significant difference within the number of embryos of bitches suffering fetal death and bitches without embryo resorption (8.2 ± 2.1 ) (p > 0.05). A relationship between litter size and gestational length could not be verified (r = 0.15; p > 0.05). Conclusion and clinical relevance: Due to these results the hypothesis is postulated that embryonic resorption is a kind of protective mechanism of the maternal organism against too large litter sizes. © Schattauer 2010.
A Rare Cause of Syncope in Etiology: Fahr Disease
(2011) Aydin, I.; Karadaş, S.; Güdü, B.O.
Cerebral calcinosis known as Fahr disease is a rare clinical situation characterized by symmetrical calcification of basal ganglia. Etiology of the disease is not known precisely, however it may present with syncope, seizures, dysarthria, paresis, dystonia and various neurological and psychiatric symptoms. We herein report a case of patient who was brought to our emergency department because of syncope and diagnosed as Fahr disease.
Ultrasonic Determination of Fetal Sex in Ewes Under Field Conditions by a Single Investigation
(Schattauer GmbH, 2007) Şendag, S.; Çelik, H.A.; Aydin, I.; Dinç, D.A.; Wehrend, A.; Gürkan, M.
Objective: Ultrasonic determination of fetal sex in ewes under field conditions by a single examination. Material and methods: Accuracy of transrectal and transabdominal ultrasonographic determination of fetal sex was examined in 210 ewes with singletons or twins between the 40th to 90th day post mating. Examinations were conducted under field conditions by ultrasonography with a linear-array 5 MHz transducer. Day 1 was the first day after mating. Single transrectal and transabdominal ultrasound examinations were performed in standing position of the sheep. Fetal sex determination was performed on days 40 to 49 (group I), days 50 to 59 (group II), days 60 to 69 (group III), days 70 to 79 (group IV) and days 80 to 90 (group V). Definite diagnoses were made after lambing. Results: The accuracy was 0% in group I (0/42), 40.0% in group II (13/42), 33.3% in group III (14/42), 64.2% in group IV (27/42) and 47.6% in group V (20/42). The differences between groups IV and V to groups I to III were significant (p < 0.05). The accuracy of fetal sex diagnosis was also influenced by singletons or twins (p < 0.05). Conclusion and clinical relevance: The results show that a single ultrasonographic examination is not a proper method for determination of fetal sex in sheep under field conditions.
