BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to validate the Omron HEM-907 blood pressure (BP) measuring device according to the international validation protocol. DESIGN The international validation protocol is divided into two phases: the first phase is performed on 15 selected subjects and if the device passes this phase, 18 more subjects are selected making a total number of 33 subjects on which ...

Amaç: Alkol bağımlılığı alkolü yıkan enzimler ve dopaminerjik, gama aminobutrik asiderjik, glutamaetrjik, opiyat, kolinerjik ve serotonerjik sistemle ilgili genetik değişkenlerle ilişkilidir. Endojen kannabinoid sistemle ilgili genetik değişkenlerin de alkol bağımlılığında etkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, alkol bağımlılığı ile DRD2 TaqIA, 5-HT1B A-161T ve CNR1 1359 G/A (rs1049353) po...

Complete mortality of one-day old codling moth eggs infesting Red Delicious apples was achieved by fumigation with methyl bromide at 24 g/m3 for 2h at 12.0 ± 0.5°C, followed by 18 d coolstorage at mean fruit pulp temperatures in the range 0.52 1.77°C. Non-fumigated coolstored eggs required a period of 33 d exposure at the same temperatures to achieve complete kill. Fumigation followed by coolst...

Hemming is a three-step sheet-folding process utilized in the production of automotive closures. It has a critical impact on the performance and perceived quality of assembled vehicles. Using a two-dimensional finite element model, this paper presents a design-of-experiments (DOE) study of the relationships between important hemming process parameters and hem quality for aluminium alloy AA 6111...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation activates cell signaling pathways in melanocytes. As a result of altered signaling pathways and UV-induced cellular damage, melanocytes can undergo oncogenesis and develop into melanomas. In this study, we investigated the effect of UV-radiation on p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), JNK and NFκB pathways to determine which plays a major role in stimulating T...

Background: The gold standard current treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stones is stone extraction via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In ERCP failed cases, alternative surgical methods come to the fore. Choledochoduodenostomy (CDD), which a traditional method, one of them. We aimed present our conventional CDD results in patients.
 Methods: Between March 2015 and...
