Engaging nurses in smoking cessation: Challenges and opportunities in Turkey
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2018)
This paper discusses the training of nurses in smoking cessation as part of routine patient care in Turkey. Formative research was carried out prior to training to identify challenges faced by smokers when trying to quit. ...
Smoke-free Turkey: Evaluation of outdoor areas of public places
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019)
Significance: Secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) exposure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of smoking in outdoor areas of public places in ...
Self-efficacy and hemodialysis treatment: A qualitative and quantitative approach
(Turkish Association of Nervous and Mental Health, 2013)
The theoretically driven approach to the measurement of self-efficacy fails to capture the challenges that hemodialysis patients experience in following their dietary and fluid restrictions. Aims: A combination of qualitative ...
Thermal Phase Transitions of Agarose in Various Compositions: A Fluorescence Study
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011)
The effect of agarose content on thermal phase transitions of the agarose gels was investigated by using Steady State Fluorescence (SSF) method. Scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence intensity I(fl) were monitored against ...
Molecular docking study based on pharmacophore modeling for novel PhosphodiesteraseIV ınhibitors
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2012)
In this study pharmacophore modelling was carried out for novel PhosphodiesteraseIV (PDEIV) inhibitors. A pharmacophore-based virtual screening which resulted in 1959 hit compounds was performed with six chemical databases. ...
The Role of Pyranine in Characterization of PAAm-kappa C Composites by Using Fluorescence Technique
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm) doped by kappa-carrageenan (kappa C) gels were prepared with various amounts of kappa C varying in the range between 0 wt.% and 3 wt.%. Steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed for ...
Growth and shape stability of Cu-Ni core-shell nanoparticles: an atomistic perspective
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2018)
The growth and shape stability of bi-metallic cubic Cu-Ni nanoparticles are studied using atomic-level simulations. Cubic nano-crystals coated with an ultra-thin Cu layer can be readily obtained when Ni cubic nanoparticles ...
Synthesis of some novel hydrazone and 2-pyrazoline derivatives: Monoamine oxidase inhibitory activities and docking studies
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014)
A novel series of 2-pyrazoline and hydrazone derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their human monoamine oxidase (hMAO) inhibitory activity. All compounds inhibited the hMAO isoforms (MAO-A or MAO-B) competitively ...
Cation Effect on Slow Release from Alginate Beads: A Fluorescence Study
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2014)
In this study spherical alginate beads containing pyranine (P-y) as a fluorescence probe were prepared by ionotropic gelation of a sodium alginate solution. The steady state fluorescence technique was used to study pyranine ...
Analysis of the Patients and Physicians Connection Network on an online Health Information Platform
(IOS Press, 2014)
Social network applications have gained popularity in the health domain as they bring health information seekers (patients and alike) and medication advice providers (physicians and other relevant actors) together. By ...
