(Springer Heidelberg, 2002) Kiziroglu, I; Turan, L; Erdogan, A; Adizel, Ö; Pamukoglu, N
Analysis of nestling food in four species of Parus and one species of Ficedula using the 'Halsringmethode' showed a high quota of adults and caterpillars of the important forest pests: Tortrix viridana, Euproctis chrysorrhoea, Diprion pini, and Lymantria dispar . These four major pest species amounted in the nestling food of Parus major to 50 %, P. coeruleus to 52.6 %, P. ater to 40.9 %, and Ficedula hypoleuca to 30.2 %.
The Extent of Environment-Related Discussions in the Turkish Printed Media
(Parlar Scientific Publications (p S P), 2004) Kiziroglu, I; Turan, L; Erdogan, A; Adizel, Ö; Kiziroglu, MH
Newspaper articles with environmental content from 10 different Turkish dailies between October-December 2002 and March 2003 have been critically read and analysed under the aspects of variety and intensity of the topics discussed in these articles. In addition, columnists' articles with environmental content/referral have been a question of analysis during the preparation of this research project. It is concluded that even though there is an interest for the environmental problems in the Turkish printed media, the frequency of the release of environmental-related articles is low. Furthermore, the research reveals that environmental topics are rarely discussed by the newspaper columnists.

(Walter de Gruyter & Co, 1998) Gokalp, HZ; Yuceer, N; Arasil, E; Deda, H; Attar, A; Erdogan, A; Kanpolat, Y
Between the years 1970 and 1997, 112 patients with tumors of the lateral ventricle were operated on at the University of Ankara. School of Medicine, Department of Neurosurgery. Seventy-one patients (63.4 %) were male and 41 patients (36.6 %) female. Headache (35.7 %), nausea and vomiting (22.3 %) were the most common presenting complaints. Papilloedema (42.9 %), motor and sensory loss (25 %) were the most common findings at neurological examination. Complete tumor removal was accomplished in 38.4 % of the patients. Histopathologically the most commonly seen types of the tumor were ependymoma (25 %) and astrocytoma (21.4 %). Among the various approach, the anterior transcortical (53.6 %) and the posterior transcortical (16 %) were the most commonly used. Eleven patients were reoperated for tumor recurrence. After surgery, radiation therapy was also performed on fourty-two patients. The morbidity and mortality rates were considerably higher before 1976 when the use of microneurosurgical techniques was introduced. After this, our morbidity and mortality rates decreased dramatically The overall surgical mortality rate was 7.1 % before 1976; during the last 10 years (n:46), it was 6.5 %. In this report, our choice of operative approaches and the results will be discussed.
