Genitourinary Brucellosis: Results of a Multicentric Study
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2014) Erdem, H.; Elaldi, N.; Ak, O.; Gulsun, S.; Tekin, R.; Ulug, M.; Agalar, C.
This study reviewed the clinical, laboratory, therapeutic and prognostic data on genitourinary involvement of brucellosis in this largest case series reported. This multicentre study pooled adult patients with genitourinary brucellar involvement from 34 centres treated between 2000 and 2013. Diagnosis of the disease was established by conventional methods. Overall 390 patients with genitourinary brucellosis (352 male, 90.2%) were pooled. In male patients, the most frequent involved site was the scrotal area (n=327, 83.8%), as epididymo-orchitis (n=204, 58%), orchitis (n=112, 31.8%) and epididymitis (n=11, 3.1%). In female patients, pyelonephritis (n=33/38, 86.8%) was significantly higher than in male patients (n=11/352, 3.1%; p<0.0001). The mean blood leukocyte count was 7530 +/- 3115/mm(3). Routine laboratory analysis revealed mild to moderate increases for erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). The mean treatment duration and length of hospital stay were significantly higher when there were additional brucellar foci (p<0.05). Surgical operations including orchiectomy and abscess drainage were performed in nine (2.3%) patients. Therapeutic failure was detected in six (1.5%), relapse occurred in four (1%), and persistent infertility related to brucellosis occurred in one patient. A localized scrotal infection in men or pyelonephritis in women in the absence of leucocytosis and with mild to moderate increases in inflammatory markers should signal the possibility of brucellar genitourinary disease.
Implementation of Artifact Removal Algorithms in Gait Signals for Diagnosis of Parkinson Disease
(International Information and Engineering Technology Association, 2021) Özel, E.; Tekin, R.; Kaya, Y.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disease that progresses further over time. Individuals suffering from this condition have a deficiency of dopamine, a neurotransmitter found in the brain's nerve cells that is critical for coordinating body movement. In this study, a new approach is proposed for the diagnosis of PD. Common Average Reference (CAR), Median Common Average Reference (MCAR), and Weighted Common Average Reference (WCAR) methods were primarily utilized to eliminate noise from the multichannel recorded walking signals in the resulting PhysioNet dataset. Statistical features were obtained from the clean walking signals following the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) transformation application. Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and K-nearest neighbor (Knn) methods were utilized in the classification stage. A high success rate with a value of 92.96% was observed with Knn. It was also determined that signals on which foot and the signals obtained from which point of the sole of the foot were effective in PD diagnosis in the study. In light of the findings, it was observed that noise reduction methods increased the success rate of PD diagnosis. © 2021 Lavoisier. All rights reserved.
Ottoman – Austria Struggle in Bosnia According Moster Shria Registry No: 52 (1787-1789)
(Abidin Temizer, 2021) Tekin, R.
The years 1787-1789, the last days of Abdulhamid I, are among the most troubled periods of the Ottoman Empire. During this period, the Ottoman Empire had to fight on two fronts. He fought with the Russians in the Crimea and with Austria in the Balkans. The measures taken by the Ottoman Empire against Austria in Bosnia were reflected in the Mostar Şer Siciyye Registry number 52. There are about seventy calligraphy, decrees, decrees and orders sent from the provincial council in Bosnia, which are recorded in the registry. In the official records in the registry, it is stated that Austria broke the agreementand attacked the Ottoman lands from the Bosnian border line. It can be understood from the documents sent from Istanbul and from the orders sent from the Divan-ı Bosnia to the accidents and there levant authorities, it is seen that the people of Bosnia were called to a total mobilization and aid to the army. In addition, in the a forementioned orders, it is also requested that the ammunition and supplies sent by ships from Istanbul be brought to the front as soon as possible. It can be understood from the records that it is an important struggle in which Bosnian Governor Vizier Ebubekir Pasha, administrators, notables of the people, Muslims and non-Muslimsall participated. As a result of these efforts, important achievements have also been achieved. © 2021, Abidin Temizer. All rights reserved.
