Clinicopathological characteristics of patients with oesophageal squamous papilloma in Turkey and comparison with the literature data: The largest case series ever reported from Turkey.

AIM: Oesophageal squamous papilloma (ESP) is a rare tumoural lesion of the oesophagus considered to have a benign course. Due to the fact that they are rare lesions, there are not many publications with large case series on ESPs in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical, endoscopic and histopathological characteristics of ESPs. METHODS: Reports of upper gastrointestinal endoscopies performed in the endoscopy unit within the Division of Gastroenterology of a tertiary care hospital in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey in the last 8-year period were evaluate…

Immunity Elicited by a Turkey Herpesvirus-Vectored Newcastle Disease Vaccine in Turkey Against Challenge With a Recent Genotype IV Newcastle Disease Virus Field Strain.

Newcastle disease (ND) is still a major poultry disease worldwide. Vaccination remains the principal method of controlling ND in endemic countries. Various vaccination strategies, including the use of recently developed recombinant vaccines, have been used to control it. Recombinant vaccines that use the herpesvirus of turkey (HVT) as a vector to express one of the key antigens of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) have been developed to overcome some of the drawbacks related to the use of conventional vaccines. HVT as a vector appears to have unique beneficial characteristics: it is extremely safe…

The evolving role of fathers of young deaf children in Turkey.

The present study aimed to explore the evolving role of fathers in the lives of young deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children and to construct a theory that explains this role within the Turkish context. The participants were 12 Turkish fathers of young DHH children. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, theoretical data were collected over seven months through semi-structured interviews, supported by supplementary techniques including information forms, observations, documents, an artifact, and a reflective journal. The data were analyzed using constant comparative analysis and con

Welfare assessment of turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo gallopavo) on farm.

This Scientific Opinion assesses the welfare of turkeys of all ages (Meleagris gallopavo gallopavo) on farm in relation to the type and condition of the litter, type and availability of enrichment (including covered veranda and outdoor range), space allowance, concentrations of ammonia and carbon dioxide, effective environmental temperature, group size, nest conditions, lighting conditions and hatchery conditions, by using 19 welfare consequences and associated animal-based measures (ABMs) for their assessment. In addition, the risks posed by the practices of flock thinning and removal of hens…

Taphonomic signatures of early scavenging by black and turkey vultures.

Scavenging is critical for nutrient cycling and maintenance of healthy ecosystems. While there is substantial research into the identificati … ng effort, then conducted necropsies to evaluate the effect of black vulture (Coragyps atratus) and turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) scavenging effort on carcass consumption. We measured the order of consumption of different tissue types to delineate which anatomic structures vultures consume first. Scavenging trials with higher numbers of vultures feedin …

Aggravated solitary confinement in Turkey. A form of institutionalised torture.

Last January 2023, 36 international jurists, journalists and pol-iticians from 8 countries were part of the International Delega-tion Against Isolation that travelled to Turkey to hold meetings with civil society organisations and political circles regarding the prison situation1 . The Delegation was divided into three groups travelling to different cities: Ankara, Amed and Istan-bul. The three groups met on 28 January in Istanbul for an International Forum against Isolation.

Avian reovirus infection in turkeys with neurological disease in Alberta.

Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are ubiquitous and play a role in diseases affecting various organs in chickens and turkeys. In recent years, tenosynovitis and lameness emerged as the most frequently reported clinical conditions. In this report, we describe a case of neurological disease associated with ARV infection in 4-week-old turkeys in Alberta. A flock of 7650 commercial turkey toms exhibited neurological signs such as torticollis and ataxia that affected ~3 to 4% of birds in the flock. Histologic examination of brain samples collected at 6 wk revealed nonsuppurative encephalitis. A pooled brain…

A Snapshot on the Genomic Epidemiology of Turkey Reovirus Infections, Hungary.

Reovirus infections in turkeys are associated with arthritis and lameness. Viral genome sequence data are scarce, which makes an accurate description of the viral evolution and epidemiology difficult. In this study, we isolated and characterized turkey reoviruses from Hungary. The isolates were identified in 2016; these isolates were compared with earlier Hungarian turkey reovirus strains and turkey reoviruses isolated in the 2010s in the United States. Gene-wise sequence and phylogenetic analyses identified the cell-receptor binding protein and the main neutralization antigen, σC, to be the m…

Accumulation of Contaminants by Wild Turkeys and Potential for Consumer Exposure.

Despite their popularity as a game species across North America, little is known about contaminant burdens in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) inhabiting areas of environmental contamination, and their potential to expose human and wildlife consumers. We compared trace element concentrations and radionuclide activity in muscle and liver tissues of turkeys inhabiting the Savannah River Site (USA), an area with known anthropogenic contaminant inputs, with turkeys from uncontaminated areas offsite. In addition, we tested breast feathers from a subset of individuals for mercury (Hg) to assess th…
