Effects of vanadyl sulfate on liver of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
(Humana Press Inc., 2005)The aim of this study was to investigate the microscopic and biochemical effects of vanadyl sulfate on liver tissue of normal and streptozotocin (65 mg/kg) diabetic rats. Vanadyl sulfate was administered by gavage at a ... -
Protective effects of a calcium channel blocker on apoptosis in thymus of neonatal STZ-diabetic rats
(Elsevier GMBH Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2005)Streptozotocin (STZ) is known to induce insulin-dependent diabetes in experimental animals. In STZ-induced diabetes atrophy of the thymus is caused by elevated intracellular calcium levels leading to apoptosis. Hyperglycemia ... -
Recurrent cholangitis associated with biliary sludge and Phrygian cap anomaly diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography despite normal ultrasound and computed tomography
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)A 31-year-old woman presented with a one and half years' history of intermittent right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain high fever and severely painful warm and reddish swollen skin lesions on the fingers. Acute attack resolution ... -
Renal-related perinephric fluid collections: MRI findings
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2005)We retrospectively reviewed MR studies on 10 patients with renal-related perinephric fluid collections who underwent MRI in three institutions between January 2001 and August 2004. All patients underwent MRI of the abdomen ... -

(W.B. Saunders Co Ltd, 2005)Florence Nightingale Hospital is a 300-bed university-affiliated private medical centre with a large open heart surgery programme in Istanbul Turkey. In this study the mortality rates lengths of stay (LOS) and extra costs ... -
Effect of the treatment of brucellosis on leukocyte superoxide dismutase activity and plasma nitric oxide level
(Sage Publications Inc, 2005)Background: The mechanisms by which brucellae evade intracellular killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes are incompletely understood. In this study we evaluated changes of leukocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and ... -

Polymorphisms at the ligand binding site of the vitamin D receptor gene and osteomalacia
(Hindawi Ltd, 2005)Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been suggested as possible determinants of bone mineral density (BMD) and calcium metabolism. In this study our aim was to determine whether there is an association between ... -
Which may be effective to reduce blood loss after cardiac operations in cyanotic children: tranexamic acid aprotinin or a combination?
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2005)Background: Children with cyanotic heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery in which cardiopulmonary bypass is used are at increased risk of postoperative bleeding. In this study the authors investigated the possibility ... -
Parametric bootstrap model selection criterion with in linear model compared to other criteria
(INT INST Informatics & Systemics, 2005)The most important stage of econometrics estimation is the in model set up. The model set up has the best prediction ability and is therefore suitable for econometrics estimation. Between the dependent variable Y and other ... -
Signature verification using conic section function neural network
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2005)This paper presents a new approach for off-line signature verification based on a hybrid neural network (Conic Section Function Neural Network-CSFNN). Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have recently become a very important ... -
Cervical Radiculopathy caused by vertebral artery loop formation - Multislice computed tomography angiography findings
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005)Vertebral artery tortuosity and loop formation are rare causes of cervical radiculopathy. The criterion standard for the detection of vertebral artery loop formation is digital subtraction angiography. Computed tomography ... -
DNA polymorphism of Pvu II site in the lipoprotein lipase gene in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
(Wiley, 2005)We studied the effect of variation at the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene locus on the susceptibility of individuals with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in a population of 110 NIDDM patients and 91 controls. ... -
