Reliability of a hospital utilization review method in Turkey. (1/3051)
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP) is reliable in Turkey. METHODS: Three reviewers, two physicians and one nurse each reviewed 196 patient-days concurrently by using the AEP at three hospitals, two of which were teaching hospitals. Inter-reviewer reliability was assessed both for all cases reviewed (overall agreement), and for only those judged inappropriate by at least one reviewer (specific agreement). In addition, overall agreement between pairs of reviewers was evaluated by the Kappa statistic. RESULTS: The overall agreement between pairs of reviewers was very high: 93.4-95.9%, and it was similar between all pairs. The level of overall agreement was highly statistically significant: k=0.725-0.833, P<0.001. The specific agreement rates ranged from a low of 61.8% to a high of 75%. CONCLUSIONS: These results show, for the first time, that the AEP method is reliable in Turkey. (+info)Haemoglobin LeporeBoston in a Turkish family. (2/3051)
Haemoglobin Lepore was demonstrated in four members of a Turkish family. It was found in the heterozygote state and was associated with erythrocyte morphology similar to that observed in the beta thalassaemia trait. The average concentration of haemoglobin Lepore was 8.1% of the total haemoglobin. Structural analysis showed that the Lepore haemoglobin was the LeporeBoston type. This is the first reported instance of the occurrence of haemoglobin Lepore in Turkey. (+info)Elevated hepatic lipase activity and low levels of high density lipoprotein in a normotriglyceridemic, nonobese Turkish population. (3/3051)
Low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and, in the United States, are often associated with hypertriglyceridemia and obesity. In Turkey, low HDL-C levels are highly prevalent, 53% of men and 26% of women having HDL-C levels <35 mg/dl, in the absence of hypertriglyceridemia and obesity. In this study to investigate the cause of low HDL-C levels in Turks, various factors affecting HDL metabolism were assessed in normotriglyceridemic Turkish men and women living in Istanbul and in non-Turkish men and women living in San Francisco. Turkish men and women had significantly lower HDL-C levels than the San Francisco men and women, as well as markedly lower apolipoprotein A-I levels (25 and 39 mg/dl lower, respectively). In both Turkish and non-Turkish subjects, the mean body mass index was <27 kg/m2, the mean triglyceride level was <120 mg/dl, and the mean total cholesterol was 170-180 mg/dl. The mean hepatic triglyceride lipase activity was 21% and 31% higher in Turkish men and women, respectively, than in non-Turkish men and women, and remained higher even after subjects with a body mass index >50th percentile for men and women in the United States were excluded from the analysis. As no dietary or behavioral factors have been identified in the Turkish population that account for increased hepatic triglyceride lipase activity, the elevation most likely has a genetic basis. high density lipoprotein in a normotriglyceridemic, nonobese Turkish population. (+info)Restructuring the primary health care services and changing profile of family physicians in Turkey. (4/3051)
A new health-reform process has been initiated by Ministry of Health in Turkey. The aim of that reform is to improve the health status of the Turkish population and to provide health care to all citizens in an efficient and equitable manner. The restructuring of the current health system will allow more funds to be allocated to primary and preventive care and will create a managed market for secondary and tertiary care. In this article, we review the current and proposed primary care services models and the role of family physicians therein. (+info)p53 and p16INK4A mutations during the progression of glomus tumor. (5/3051)
Glomus tumors are significantly rare tumors of carotid body. The great majority of these tumors are benign in character. Here we present two brothers with hereditary glomus jugulare tumor who had consanguineous parents. Radiotherapy was applied approximately 8 and 10 years ago for treatment in both cases. Eight years later, one of these cases came to our notice due to relapse. The mutation pattern of p53, p57KIP2, p16INK4A and p15NK4B genes which have roles in the cell cycle, was analyzed in tumor samples obtained from the two affected cases in the initial phase and from one of these cases at relapse. The DNA sample obtained from the case in initial diagnosis phase revealed no p53, p57KIP2, p16INK4A or p15INK4B mutation. He is still in remission phase. Despite the lack of p53, p57KIP2, p16INK4A and p15INK4B mutation at initial diagnosis the tumor DNA of the other case in relapse revealed p53 codon 243 (ATG-->ATC; met-->ile) and p16 codon 97 (GAC-->AAC; asp-->asn) missense point mutations. No loss of heterozygosity in p53 and p16INK4A was observed by microsatellite analysis of tumoral tissues in these cases. P53 and p16INK4A mutations observed in relapse phase were in conserved regions of both genes. No previous reports have been published with these mutations in glomus tumor during progression. The mutation observed in this case may due to radiotherapy. In spite of this possibility, the missense point mutations in conserved region of p53 and p16INK4A genes may indicate the role of p53 and p16INK4A in tumor progression of glomus tumors. (+info)Mutation and haplotype studies of familial Mediterranean fever reveal new ancestral relationships and evidence for a high carrier frequency with reduced penetrance in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. (6/3051)
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a recessive disorder characterized by episodes of fever with serositis or synovitis. The FMF gene (MEFV) was cloned recently, and four missense mutations were identified. Here we present data from non-Ashkenazi Jewish and Arab patients in whom we had not originally found mutations and from a new, more ethnically diverse panel. Among 90 symptomatic mutation-positive individuals, 11 mutations accounted for 79% of carrier chromosomes. Of the two mutations that are novel, one alters the same residue (680) as a previously known mutation, and the other (P369S) is located in exon 3. Consistent with another recent report, the E148Q mutation was observed in patients of several ethnicities and on multiple microsatellite haplotypes, but haplotype data indicate an ancestral relationships between non-Jewish Italian and Ashkenazi Jewish patients with FMF and other affected populations. Among approximately 200 anonymous Ashkenazi Jewish DNA samples, the MEFV carrier frequency was 21%, with E148Q the most common mutation. Several lines of evidence indicate reduced penetrance among Ashkenazi Jews, especially for E148Q, P369S, and K695R. Nevertheless, E148Q helps account for recessive inheritance in an Ashkenazi family previously reported as an unusual case of dominantly inherited FMF. The presence of three frequent MEFV mutations in multiple Mediterranean populations strongly suggests a heterozygote advantage in this geographic region. (+info)Recognition of cigarette brand names and logos by primary schoolchildren in Ankara, Turkey. (7/3051)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the smoking behaviour of primary schoolchildren and their ability to recognise brand names and logos of widely advertised cigarettes, compared with other commercial products intended for children. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey in classroom settings using a questionnaire designed to measure attitudes towards smoking and the recognition of brand names and logos for 16 food, beverage, cigarette, and toothpaste products. SETTING: Ankara, Turkey. SUBJECTS: 1093 children (54.6% boys, 44.4% girls) aged 7-13 years (mean = 10, SD = 1), from grades 2-5. The student sample was taken from three primary schools--one school in each of three residential districts representing high, middle, and low income populations. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prevalence of ever-smoking, recognition of brand names and logos. RESULTS: Prevalence of ever-smoking was 11.7% overall (13.9% among boys and 9.1% among girls; p < 0.05). Children aged eight years or less had a higher prevalence of ever-smoking (19.6%) than older children (p < 0.002). Ever-smoking prevalence did not differ significantly across the three school districts. Ever-smoking prevalence was higher among children with at least one parent who smoked (15.3%) than among those whose parents did not (4.8%) (p < 0.001). Brand recognition rates ranged from 58.1% for Chee-tos (a food product) to 95.2% for Samsun (a Turkish cigarette brand). Recognition rates for cigarette brand names and logos were 95.2% and 80.8%, respectively, for Samsun; 84.0% and 90.5%, respectively, for Camel; and 92.1% and 69.5%, respectively, for Marlboro. The Camel logo and the Samsun and Marlboro brand names were the most highly recognised of all product logos and brand names tested. CONCLUSIONS: The high recognition of cigarette brand names and logos is most likely the result of tobacco advertising and promotion. Our results indicate the need to implement comprehensive tobacco control measures in Turkey. (+info)The orthopaedic aspects of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. (8/3051)
Five cases of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) were treated from 1985-1996 at the Orthopaedics and Trauma Department of SSK Izmir Educational Hospital. Four patients were female and one was male. The pedigrees of the first two female patients had the same features of inter-related marriages. The patients have been followed up for 5.5-11 years (average of 7.5 years). Surgical operations were mostly required in the lower limbs. Problems in the hips required adductor myotomy, the Soutter procedure, total hip replacement, and pertrochanteric extension osteotomy. Management of the knees required supracondylar shortening and extension osteotomy of the femur, high tibial extension osteotomy, debridement of the knee joint with removal of osteophytes, ogleotomy of the patellar lengthening of the knee flexors and posterior capsulotomy. Interphalangeal arthrodesis for hammer toes, extension osteotomy of the head of the first metatarsals, and Kellers operation were carried out in the foot. In the upper limb decompression and anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve, debridement of the elbow joint, extension and valgus osteotomy of the distal radius, and extension osteotomy of the head of the first metacarpal were required. (+info)I'm not aware of any recognized medical term or condition specifically referred to as "turkeys." The term "turkey" is most commonly used in a non-medical context to refer to the large, bird-like domesticated fowl native to North America, scientifically known as Meleagris gallopavo.
However, if you are referring to a medical condition called "turkey neck," it is a colloquial term used to describe sagging or loose skin around the neck area, which can resemble a turkey's wattle. This condition is not a formal medical diagnosis but rather a descriptive term for an aesthetic concern some people may have about their appearance.
If you meant something else by "turkeys," please provide more context so I can give you a more accurate answer.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Turkey" is not a medical term. It is a common name for the country located in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, as well as a type of large bird native to North America that is often eaten as a holiday meal. If you have any questions about medical terminology or health-related topics, I'd be happy to try and help answer them!
Poultry diseases refer to a wide range of infectious and non-infectious disorders that affect domesticated birds, particularly those raised for meat, egg, or feather production. These diseases can be caused by various factors including viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, genetic predisposition, environmental conditions, and management practices.
Infectious poultry diseases are often highly contagious and can lead to significant economic losses in the poultry industry due to decreased production, increased mortality, and reduced quality of products. Some examples of infectious poultry diseases include avian influenza, Newcastle disease, salmonellosis, colibacillosis, mycoplasmosis, aspergillosis, and coccidiosis.
Non-infectious poultry diseases can be caused by factors such as poor nutrition, environmental stressors, and management issues. Examples of non-infectious poultry diseases include ascites, fatty liver syndrome, sudden death syndrome, and various nutritional deficiencies.
Prevention and control of poultry diseases typically involve a combination of biosecurity measures, vaccination programs, proper nutrition, good management practices, and monitoring for early detection and intervention. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of poultry diseases is crucial to implementing effective treatment and prevention strategies, and can help minimize the impact of disease outbreaks on both individual flocks and the broader poultry industry.
Ovomucin is a glycoprotein found in the egg white (albumen) of birds. It is one of the major proteins in egg white, making up about 10-15% of its total protein content. Ovomucin is known for its ability to form a gel-like structure when egg whites are beaten, which helps to protect the developing embryo inside the egg.
Ovomucin has several unique properties that make it medically interesting. For example, it has been shown to have antibacterial and antiviral activities, and may help to prevent microbial growth in the egg. Additionally, ovomucin is a complex mixture of proteins with varying molecular weights and structures, which makes it a subject of interest for researchers studying protein structure and function.
In recent years, there has been some research into the potential medical uses of ovomucin, including its possible role in wound healing and as a potential treatment for respiratory infections. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential therapeutic applications of this interesting protein.
"Chickens" is a common term used to refer to the domesticated bird, Gallus gallus domesticus, which is widely raised for its eggs and meat. However, in medical terms, "chickens" is not a standard term with a specific definition. If you have any specific medical concern or question related to chickens, such as food safety or allergies, please provide more details so I can give a more accurate answer.
The Black Sea is not a medical term or concept. It is a body of water located in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, bounded by Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine. The name "Black" Sea may refer to the historical maritime routes that connected this region with other parts of the world, as well as possible darker coloration of its waters due to the presence of organic matter.
Air sacs, also known as alveoli, are tiny air-filled sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs during respiration. They are a part of the respiratory system in mammals and birds. In humans, the lungs contain about 300 million alveoli, which are clustered together in small groups called alveolar sacs. The walls of the air sacs are extremely thin, allowing for the easy diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the sacs and the blood in the capillaries that surround them.
Pneumovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Pneumoviridae, order Mononegavirales. It includes several species that can cause respiratory infections in humans and animals. The most well-known species that infect humans is Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HRSV), which is a major cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Other human pneumoviruses include Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) and Avian Metapneumovirus subtype C (AMPV-C). These viruses can cause similar respiratory symptoms, ranging from mild to severe.
Pneumoviruses are enveloped, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm of infected cells. They have a nonsegmented genome and encode several structural proteins, including an attachment protein, fusion protein, matrix protein, and nucleocapsid protein. The virions are typically pleomorphic, with a diameter of 150-250 nm.
Transmission of pneumoviruses occurs through respiratory droplets or direct contact with contaminated surfaces. Preventive measures include good hygiene practices, such as hand washing and covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. There are currently no vaccines available for human pneumoviruses, but several candidates are in development. Treatment is primarily supportive and may include oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and antiviral medications in severe cases.
Avastrovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Astroviridae, which cause gastrointestinal illness in various animals, including birds and mammals. These viruses are non-enveloped and have a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome. Avastroviruses are named after the asterisk-like structure seen in their viral particles under an electron microscope. They can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In animals, avastrovirus infections can lead to significant economic losses in the agricultural industry due to decreased growth rates and increased mortality in infected animals. However, it's important to note that avastroviruses are not known to infect humans.
'Bird diseases' is a broad term that refers to the various medical conditions and infections that can affect avian species. These diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, or toxic substances and can affect pet birds, wild birds, and poultry. Some common bird diseases include:
1. Avian influenza (bird flu) - a viral infection that can cause respiratory symptoms, decreased appetite, and sudden death in birds.
2. Psittacosis (parrot fever) - a bacterial infection that can cause respiratory symptoms, fever, and lethargy in birds and humans who come into contact with them.
3. Aspergillosis - a fungal infection that can cause respiratory symptoms and weight loss in birds.
4. Candidiasis (thrush) - a fungal infection that can affect the mouth, crop, and other parts of the digestive system in birds.
5. Newcastle disease - a viral infection that can cause respiratory symptoms, neurological signs, and decreased egg production in birds.
6. Salmonellosis - a bacterial infection that can cause diarrhea, lethargy, and decreased appetite in birds and humans who come into contact with them.
7. Trichomoniasis - a parasitic infection that can affect the mouth, crop, and digestive system in birds.
8. Chlamydiosis (psittacosis) - a bacterial infection that can cause respiratory symptoms, lethargy, and decreased appetite in birds and humans who come into contact with them.
9. Coccidiosis - a parasitic infection that can affect the digestive system in birds.
10. Mycobacteriosis (avian tuberculosis) - a bacterial infection that can cause chronic weight loss, respiratory symptoms, and skin lesions in birds.
It is important to note that some bird diseases can be transmitted to humans and other animals, so it is essential to practice good hygiene when handling birds or their droppings. If you suspect your bird may be sick, it is best to consult with a veterinarian who specializes in avian medicine.
"Bordetella avium" is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that belongs to the family Alcaligenaceae. It is a respiratory pathogen that primarily affects birds, particularly pigeons and other Columbiformes. The bacterium can cause upper respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases in these birds.
In humans, "Bordetella avium" has been rarely reported as a causative agent of respiratory infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying lung conditions. However, its clinical significance in human disease is not well established, and further research is needed to determine the true extent of its pathogenicity in humans.
Herpesvirus 1, also known as Gallid herpesvirus 2 or Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), is a species of the genus Iltovirus in the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae of the family Herpesviridae. This virus is the causative agent of infectious laryngotracheitis, an acute respiratory disease affecting birds, particularly turkeys. The disease is characterized by severe lesions in the upper respiratory tract, including the larynx and trachea, leading to symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, and difficulty breathing.
The virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact with infected birds or their secretions, as well as through aerosols. Infection with Herpesvirus 1 can result in high mortality rates in turkey flocks, making it a significant concern for the poultry industry. Vaccines are available to help control the spread of the virus and reduce the severity of clinical signs in infected birds.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but there seems to be a mistake in the terminology you provided. There is no virus known as "Herpesvirus 2, Gallid." However, I can provide some information on a related topic.
Gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), also known as Marek's disease virus (MDV), is a member of the Herpesviridae family and is a significant pathogen in chickens. It causes Marek's disease, a lymphoproliferative disorder that results in various clinical manifestations such as T-cell lymphomas, neurological disorders, and immunosuppression. GaHV-2 is not known to infect or cause disease in humans or other mammalian species.
If you meant to ask about human herpesviruses, please let me know and provide the correct name so I can offer an accurate definition.
Herpesviridae is a family of large, double-stranded DNA viruses that includes several important pathogens affecting humans and animals. The herpesviruses are characterized by their ability to establish latency in infected host cells, allowing them to persist for the lifetime of the host and leading to recurrent episodes of disease.
The family Herpesviridae is divided into three subfamilies: Alphaherpesvirinae, Betaherpesvirinae, and Gammaherpesvirinae. Each subfamily includes several genera and species that infect various hosts, including humans, primates, rodents, birds, and reptiles.
Human herpesviruses include:
* Alphaherpesvirinae: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), and Varicella-zoster virus (VZV)
* Betaherpesvirinae: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), Human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A), Human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B), and Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7)
* Gammaherpesvirinae: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV, also known as HHV-8)
These viruses are responsible for a wide range of clinical manifestations, from mild skin lesions to life-threatening diseases. Primary infections usually occur during childhood or adolescence and can be followed by recurrent episodes due to virus reactivation from latency.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "poultry" is not a medical term. It is a agricultural and culinary term that refers to domestic birds (such as chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys) that are kept for their eggs, meat, or feathers. The study and care of these birds would fall under the field of veterinary medicine, but "poultry" itself is not a medical term.
Pneumovirinae is a subfamily of viruses that includes several important pathogens affecting humans and animals. The most well-known member of this subfamily is the human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), which is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infections, such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia, in young children and infants worldwide.
Other important members of the Pneumovirinae subfamily include:
* Human metapneumovirus (HMPV): This virus is also a significant cause of respiratory tract infections in people of all ages, including bronchitis, pneumonia, and croup.
* Avian metapneumovirus (AMPV): This virus primarily affects birds, causing upper respiratory tract infections and decreased egg production in poultry. However, it can also infect humans who have close contact with infected birds.
* Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV): This virus is a major cause of respiratory disease in cattle, leading to significant economic losses for the livestock industry.
Pneumovirinae viruses are enveloped, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses that replicate in the host cell's cytoplasm. They have a nonsegmented genome and encode several structural proteins, including an attachment protein, fusion protein, matrix protein, and nucleocapsid protein. The viruses are typically transmitted through respiratory droplets or direct contact with infected individuals or animals.
Preventive measures for Pneumovirinae infections include good hygiene practices, such as handwashing and avoiding close contact with sick individuals or animals. Vaccines are available for some members of the subfamily, including BRSV, but there are currently no approved vaccines for HRSV or HMPV. Antiviral therapies may be used to treat severe infections, although their effectiveness varies depending on the specific virus and the patient's immune status.
Zeolites are not typically a subject of medical definition, as they are naturally occurring or synthetically produced minerals used in various industrial applications. They are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals with a crystal-like structure, composed of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen tetrahedra. These minerals have a negative charge and can exchange positively charged ions, making them useful for water purification, odor control, and as catalysts in chemical reactions.
However, there is some research into the potential use of zeolites in medical applications, such as drug delivery systems or as adsorbents to remove toxins from the body. In these contexts, the definition of zeolites would be similar to their industrial definition.
