Aural Myiasis in Children and Literature Review
(Tohoku Univ Medical Press, 2005) Yuca, K; Çaksen, H; Sakin, YF; Yuca, SA; Kiris, M; Yilmaz, H; Çankaya, H
Myiasis is a disease caused by fly larvae. The term "myiasis" is derived from the Greek word "myia" meaning fly. Aural myiasis is a rare clinical state and occurs frequently in children. In this article, six children with aural myiasis, caused by the fly larvae, are reported because of unusual presentation. All of the children with aural myiasis were associated with chronic otitis media. In the treatment, a combination of suctioning and alligator forceps was used to remove maggots under the light microscopic field. Additionally, antibiotics were used in all children. Thus, aural myiasis is successfully treated by direct extraction of larvae and application of preventative methods. - myiasis; fly larvae; chronic otitis media; maggots; children (c) 2005 Tohoku University Medical Press.

Comparison of Two Methods (Microscopy and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) for the Diagnosis of Amebiasis
(Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2005) Tanyuksel, M; Yilmaz, H; Ulukanligil, M; Araz, E; Cicek, M; Koru, O; Petri, WA
Diagnosis of amebiasis is usually performed on a clinical basis alone in most endemic countries having limited economic resources. This epidemiological study was conducted using modern diagnostic tests for amebiasis in the southeastern region of Turkey, an endemic area for amebiasis. The population of this study included patients with symptomatic diarrhea/dysentery attending both Yuzuncu Yil University, Van and Harran University, Sanliurfa, Turkey. A total of 380 stool specimens were collected and examined for Entamoeba by light microscopy (fresh, lugol, and trichrome staining) and stool antigen detection based- enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EIA) test (TechLab Entamoeba histolytica 11). 24% (91/380) of stool specimens were positive for E. histolytical Entamoeba dispar trophozoites/cysts microscopically using trichrome staining. 13% (51/380) of the stool specimens were found to be positive for E. histolytica by the EIA test, including 15% (14/91) of microscopy (+) stool specimens and 13% (37/289) of microscopy (-) stool specimens. Enteric parasites were common in these populations with 66% (251/380) of the study population harboring more than one parasite. In addition to the 13% (51/380) of patients determined to have E. histolytica by EIA, eighty-six patients (22.6%) had Blastocystis hominis, 54 (14.2%) Entamoeba coli, 44 (11.5%) Giardia lamblia, 16 (4.2%) Chilomastix mesnili, 15 (3.9%) Iodamoeba butschlii, 12 (3.1%) Hymenolepis nana, 9 (2.3%) Endolimax nana, 9 (2.3%) Dientamoeba fragilis, and 8 (2.1%) had Ascaris lumbricoides. We concluded that E histolytica infection was found in 13% of the patients presenting with diarrhea in Van and Sanliurfa Turkey. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Effect of Jasmonic Acid on Yield and Quality of Two Strawberry Cultivars
(Amer Pomological Soc, 2003) Yilmaz, H; Yildiz, K; Muradoglu, F
A low concentration (0.10 mM) of jasmonic acid (JA) did not affect fruit ripening and development in 'Tufts' and 'Cruz' strawberries. However, high concentrations (0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 mM) caused fruits to ripen earlier than the control, significantly increased berry size in the first two weeks of harvest, and increased total yield per plant. No concentration of JAaffected soluble solids concentration or total titratable acidity in either cultivar.
Effect of Jasmonic Acid, Acc and Ethephon on Pollen Germination in Strawberry
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 2002) Yildiz, K; Yilmaz, H
The effects of jasmonic acid (JA), I-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC) and 2-cholorethyl phosphonic acid (ethephon) on pollen germination were investigated in strawberry cv. Tufts. ACC and ethephon stimulated pollen germination while JA was inhibitory. Pollen germination was decreased by 0.5 mM JA from 42.5 to 5.8% compared with the control after 4 h of incubation. On the other hand, ACC and ethephon (0.5 mM) increased the pollen germination percentage to 55.6 and 60.7%, respectively. In addition, both ethephon and ACC relieved the inhibition of pollen germination by JA.
The Effect of Soluble Sugars, Total Flavan and Juglone Concentrations in Walnut Scions on Graft Survival
(Amer Pomological Soc, 2003) Yildiz, K; Yilmaz, H; Balta, F
We examined the effects of soluble sugar, juglone and total flavan concentration of scionwood on graft success in walnut (J. regia L). According to simple regression analysis, graft success was linearly related to sugar and juglone concentrations, and quadratically related to flavan concentration. In addition, the best multiple regression model was constructed for graft success according to Al possible regression approach. It was found that the best model included linear terms for flavan and sugar, quadratic term for flavan and the interaction term for flavan x sugar. The r square (R-2) for this model was 0.72, meaning that this model, explained 72% of variation in graft success. The residual variation (28%) resulted from other factors.
Effect of Transplanting Rootstocks Before Grafting on Xylem Exudation and Graft Success in Walnut
(Amer Pomological Soc, 2003) Yildiz, K; Yilmaz, H
The effect of transplanting seedlings before grafting on xylem exudation of seedlings and graft success was studied in early spring grafts of walnut under uncontrolled conditions. Scions of 'Yalova-1' walnut were grafted by the whip and tongue method on one- and two-year-old walnut (J. regia L) seedlings on two dates (15 March and 15 April). Transplanting seedlings did not affect either the amount of xylem exudate or the graft survival on the earlier date (March 15), but decreased the xylem exudation and increased graft survival of two-year-old rootstocks on the later date (April 15). On this date, graft survival percentage of two-year-old rootstocks was increased 20% in 2000 and 25% in 2001 by transplanting seedlings. Xylem sap exudate of two-year-old seedlings - regarded as one of the negative factors for graft success in walnuts, was decreased 2.0 ml in 2000 and 1.3 ml in 2001 by transplanting seedlings before grafting.
Human Fasciolosis in Van Province, Turkey
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2004) Yilmaz, H; Göekmerdan, A
This investigation was carried out to determine the frequency of the fasciolosis in Erci, a town in the Van province located in the Eastern Turkey. The study includes 500 asymptomatic subjects (322 males and 178 females) whose ages ranged from 5 to 75 years. In all subjects, stool samples were examined at initiation of the study and one week later to rule out pseudoparasitosis. The methods of flotation (in saturated saline solution) and sedimentation (in formalin-ether solution) were used in examination of the stool samples. Fasciola hepatica eggs were detected in nine (1.8%) out of 500 subjects. In conclusion, our data showed that the prevalence of human fasciolosis was high in our region because watercress consumption was common. We also think that human fasciolosis is more frequent than expected in Turkey. To determine the exact prevalence of the disease, extensive serological investigations should be performed in different regions of Turkey. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Multiple Hydatid Cysts of the Brain: a Case Report and Review of the Literature
(Springer, 1998) Yuceer, N; Guven, MB; Yilmaz, H
Multiple hydatid cysts of the brain are uncommon and map be either primary or secondary. We report a 12-year-old child with multiple hydatid cysts of the brain occuring 1 year after surgical rupture of a primary large and infected cerebral hydatid cyst. Surgical removal of hydatid cysts was successfully performed. Albendazole (10 mg/kg twice daily for 12 weeks) was administered to the patient in the postoperative stage.
