Group psychotherapy with female-to-male transsexuals in Turkey.

The change in Turkish law to allow local sex reassignment surgery was passed in May 1988. By law, a candidate for such surgery must obtain a medical certificate attesting that the operation is necessary. However, the law does not specify conditions for granting such a certificate, so any physician can give a certificate based on his own criteria. Sex reassignment surgery can therefore be performed without preoperative psychiatric evaluation and preparation. This is a report of 40 female-to-male transsexuals. They had completed psychiatric assessment and participated in group therapy. These mee

Prophylactic therapy for hemophilia in a developing country, Turkey.

Prophylaxis has been practiced for many years in Europe and is gaining acceptance worldwide with current viral inactivation procedures. Unfortunately, the high cost of prophylaxis is currently the major obstacle to its implementation in developing countries such as Turkey. The aim of this controlled preliminary study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of prophylaxis. Seven boys aged 1.5-7 years (5.0 +/- 1.8), who had severe hemophilia (six A, one B) received 20-50 IU/kg factor twice weekly and were followed up for 6-24 months (14.5 +/- 6.6). Intermediate concentrates have bee…

[Cutaneous leishmaniasis in the urban area of Sanliurfa (Turkey)].

In the leishmaniasis focus of Sanliurfa, south-east Turquey, phlebotomine sandflies catches in houses and stables seem to confirm the parasitological data with an urban cycle due to Leishmania tropica transmitted by Phlebotomus sergenti. The incidence could be reduce drastically by intradomiciliar and stables insecticide pulverisations.

Demographic and epidemiologic features of female adolescents in Turkey.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the average menarcheal age and menstrual cycle pattern, prevalence of dysmenorrhea, frequency of smoking, alcohol and drug use, sexual education level, and the gynecologic problems in female adolescents in Turkey. METHODS: A questionnaire consisting of 43 questions were given to 13,665 high school girls between the ages 13-18 years. RESULTS: The results showed that average menarcheal age was 13.28 +/- 1.09 years and 77.8% of the girls had menstrual cycles between 20-35 days; 10,688 (78.1%) of the girls complained about pain during their menstruation and 25.6% frequen…

Vitamin A status of healthy infants in Ankara, Turkey.

Vitamin A deficiency is considered widespread health problem among children in developing countries. There are a limited number of studies related to the vitamin A status of children in Turkey. We studied serum vitamin A levels in 80 healthy children less than 2 years of age admitted to Dr. Sami Ulus Children's Hospital for measles immunization. Vitamin A levels were determined by high performance liquid chromatography, and ranged from 8.5 to 34 micrograms/dl (mean 23.54 +/- 6.86 micrograms/dl). We have shown that subclinical vitamin A deficiency is an important public health problem in Ankara…

Pathology of vitamin D deficiency in growing turkeys.

Turkey poults were fed a vitamin D-deficient diet and examined for clinical signs and structural changes of bone and parathyroid glands. Vitamin D-deficient poults developed ricketic changes during days 10 to 14. Control poults (deficient diet plus vitamin D) did not develop rickets. In deficient poults, lengths of proliferating-prehypertrophied zones of growth plates increased significantly in the proximal tibiotarsus but were only slightly elongated in the distal tibiotarsus. Unmineralized hypertrophic chondrocyte zones increased in length rapidly in conjunction with a decrease in the length…

A study of delta intrauterine devices in Ankara, Turkey.

Delta devices, modifications of standard Lippes Loop D and TCu 220C IUDs, were designed for postpartum insertion. A study of the Delta T and the Delta Loop was conducted at Hacettepe University School of Medicine in Ankara, Turkey. The IUDs were randomly allocated to 246 immediately postpartum women (less than 10 min postplacenta). Twelve-month expulsion rates were low for both devices; 3.7 for Delta Loop users and 7.6 for Delta T users.

Type C botulism in intensively farmed turkeys.

Type C botulism in turkeys has been confirmed on several production sites by demonstrating the presence of toxin in sera from affected birds. Only male turkeys were affected, mortalities being up to 30 per cent. No source of toxin was found. Possible modes of intoxication are discussed.

Some aspects of epidemiology of resurgent malaria in Turkey.

The resurgence of autochthonous Plasmodium vivax malaria in Turkey is a matter of considerable concern. Anopheles sacharovi is the important vector but other species, notably A. superpictus, may play a role in transmission. The epidemiology is discussed in terms of factors related to the mosquito, factors related to the human host and human ecology as it affects dispersal of the parasite. Although the development of insecticide resistance is grave, the present situation is mainly attributable to operational deficiencies stemming from administrative and financial constraints.

Use of Quantitative Indicator Microorganism Data to Determine if Turkey Rehang and Postchill Sampling are Predictive of Salmonella enterica Contamination in Ground Turkey.

Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of foodborne illness worldwide, with poultry products serving as a major source of human infection. In the United States, Salmonella oversight in poultry relies on USDA-FSIS verification testing, which requires sampling 1 out of every 3,000 birds at rehang and postchill to assess process control. However, the extent to which microbial indicator data collected at these locations reflect contamination in final ground turkey products is not well characterized. This study evaluated the predictive value of microbial indicator testing for Salmonella contaminati…

Human and animal cystic echinococcosis in Konya, Turkey: molecular identification and the first report of E. equinus from human host in Turkey.

Cystic echinococcosis is a neglected, zoonotic disease in Turkey. The disease is commonly seen in rural areas where the local population is in close contact with livestock and dogs. This research aimed to molecularly identify of hydatid cysts in cattle and human isolates from Konya, Turkey. Following sample collection, direct microscopy was performed. After direct examination, total DNA was extracted, and positive PCR products of cox 1 mitochondrial gene (~ 875 bp) were sequenced. A total of 83 hydatid cysts (cattle n = 57 and human n = 26), 82 were identified as Echinococcus granulosus sensu …

[An imported Chikungunya fever case from New Delhi, India to Ankara, Turkey: the first imported case of Turkey and review of the literature].

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-borne alphavirus that causes an acute febrile illness, chikungunya fever. CHIKV virus is geographically distributed in Africa, India, and South-East Asia. Chikungunya fever outbreaks have been reported from India since 2006. The incubation period is 3-7 days, and the disease is characterized by sudden onset of high fever and severe arthralgia. Other symptoms can be rash, headache, fatigue, nausea-vomiting, and myalgias. Here, we report the first Chikungunya case imported from India, New-Delhi to Ankara, Turkey. In December 2010, a 55-year-old female Tu…

Индейка B Клеточный транскриптомный профиль во время турецкого геморрагического вируса энтерита (THEV)

Инфекция геморрагическим энтеритом индейки (THEV) может вызвать геморрагический энтерит, от которого страдают молодые индейки. Эта болезнь характеризуется кровопролитным диареей и иммунодепрессией (ИМС), что объясняется апоптозом инфицированных клеток B. Вторичные инфекции, вызванные МСМ, усугубляют экономические потери. Мы провели первый транскриптивный анализ инфекции ТЭВ, чтобы прояснить механизмы, с помощью которых происходит спровоцированная ТЭВ МСМ. После заражения и секвенирования mRNAs линии индейки B-клеток были нанесены скрипты генома индейки, а выражение гена было определено с помощ

Infection with the turkey hemorrhagic enteritis virus (THEV) can cause hemorrhagic enteritis, which affects young turkeys. This disease is characterized by bloody diarrhea and immunosuppression (IMS), which is attributed to apoptosis of infected B cells. Secondary infections due to IMS exacerbate economic losses. We performed the first transcriptomic analysi…
