Mortality rate length of stay and extra cost of sternal surgical site infections following coronary artery bypass grafting in a private medical centre in Turkey
(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 ...

Simvastatin induces proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in C6 glioma cells via c-jun N-terminal kinase
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2004)
The lipid-lowering drugs statins induce apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells. Here we investigated the apoptotic effect of the lipophilic statin simvastatin in C6 glioma cells and the underlying effects on intracellular ...
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 ...
Combined radiofrequency ablation and myxoma resection through a port access approach
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2004)
Myxornas are common cardiac tumors that are traditionally managed by complete excision through a median sternotorny approach with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. We discuss a patient with left atrial myxoma and chronic ...
Mathematical models for phase transitions in biogels
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2019-03-30)
It has been shown that reversible and irreversible phase transitions of biogels can be represented by epidemic models. The irreversible chemical sol-gel transitions are modeled by the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed ...
Semi-Centralized Control of Distributed Generation in Smart Grids
(IEEE, 2018)
This paper proposes a semi-centralized intelligent control approach for voltage regulation in distribution grids based on sensitivity calculations. The model checks the voltage magnitudes of each end of each lateral in the ...
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 ...
