Распределение M129V полиморфизма прионного белкового гена в турецкой популяции говорит о высоком риске заболевания Crewzfeldt-Jakob.

Полиморфизм (M129V) на кодоне 129 белкового гена приона (PRNP) приводит к образованию либо метионинового остатка (Met), либо валинового остатка (Val) и, как известно, определяет подверженность развитию спорадически или приобретенного заболевания Креуцфельдт-Якоб (CJD). Поступали сообщения о распределении генотипов M129V и аллелей среди различных групп населения в целом, и между западноевропейцами и выходцами из Восточной Азии существуют явные различия. Мы проанализировали последовательность кодирования гена PRNP на 100 здоровых турецких субъектах, чтобы определить, отличаются ли распределение

A polymorphism (M129V) at codon 129 of the prion protein gene (PRNP) results in either a methionine residue (Met) or a valine residue (Val) … ng in Western Europe and East Asia, except in Crete. The higher frequency of 129 Met-homozygotes in Turkey than in Western Europe suggests that the Turkish are at greater risk of developing CJD.

Imported infectious diseases in the Departments for Epidemic Diseases in Blegdams Hospital and the University Hospital, Copenhagen, are revi … agnoses in this group. The next largest group of patients consisted of immigrants from Pakistan and Turkey. During the period 1979-1983, 79% of the diagnoses were made mainly in the boat refugees from Vietnam. The individual diseases are reviewed and the possibilities for prevention of imported disease are outlined.

Isolation and characterization of avian metapneumovirus subtypes A and B associated with the 2024 disease outbreaks among poultry in the USA.

UNLABELLED: Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) is currently classified into four subtypes (aMPV-A, -B, -C, and -D). In late 2023 and early 2024, aMPV-A and aMPV-B were detected in US poultry for the first time, causing significant economic losses. This study analyzed aMPV RT-PCR data from 2,204 samples (1,158 turkey, 936 chicken, and 110 other breeds) submitted to a US veterinary diagnostic laboratory between January and November 2024. A higher percentage of turkey samples (51.04%) tested PCR-positive for aMPV-A and/or aMPV-B compared to chicken samples (15.6%), with aMPV-A showing an overall higher…

Blastocystis spp. is one of the most common protozoa in Turkey and throughout the world; laboratory diagnosis, genetic diversity and clinical features are among the most controversial topics related to the parasite. The aims of the present study were to investigate the subtype distribution of Blastocystis spp. İsolates from Aydin, Turkey, to evaluate the efficiency of some diagnostic methods and to evaluate the relationship between Blastocystis spp. infection with demographic factors and clinical findings. According to the direct microscopy results, 100 stool samples with and without Blastocys…

[Plasmodium falciparum malaria: evaluation of three imported cases].

Among Plasmodium species the causative agent of malaria in Turkey is P.vivax, however the incidence of imported falciparum malaria cases is steadily increasing. P.falciparum may cause severe malaria with the involvement of central nervous system, acute renal failure, severe anemia or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Furhermore most of the casualties due to malaria are related with P.falciparum. There is recently, a considerable increase in malaria infections especially in tropical areas. In this report, three cases, who have admitted to our hospital with three different clinical presentati…

[Investigation of the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis among female Syrian refugees with the complaints of vaginitis aged between 15-49 years].

Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, most of the Syrian refugees have immigrated to Turkey due to its open gate policy and the width of the border. By the end of 2015, it was estimated that there were 2.5 million Syrian refugees in Turkey. Many of the Syrian refugees live in Sanliurfa due to its location on the border with Syria. Trichomonas vaginalis, apart from viral agents is the most common parasite among sexually transmitted infection agents. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of T.vaginalis among female married Syrian refugees living outside of the camps in Sanliu…

[Molecular epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance and characterization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases of Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi B clinical isolates].

Although Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi B is the less frequently isolated serotype worldwide and in Turkey, it is the most common serotype in our hospital, with a marked increase in 2007. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility and the extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) profile, and molecular epidemiology of S. Paratyphi B isolates detected in our hospital microbiology laboratory. Seventy isolates identified as S. Paratyphi B from 109 Salmonella isolates obtained from clinical specimens from different patients between October 2005 and December 20…

Present and future directions of translational research on aflatoxin and hepatocellular carcinoma. A review.

The aflatoxins were discovered in toxic peanut meal causing "turkey X" disease, which killed large numbers of turkey poults, ducklings and chicks in the UK in the early 1960s. Extracts of toxic feed induced the symptoms in experimental animals, and purified metabolites with properties identical to aflatoxins B(1) and G(1) (AFB(1) and AFG(1)) were isolated from Aspergillus flavus cultures. Structure elucidation of aflatoxin B(1) was accomplished and confirmed by total synthesis in 1963. AFB(1) is a potent liver carcinogen in rodents, non-human primates, fish and birds, operating through a genot…

BACKGROUND: Tinea capitis may also present as a minimal infection, termed carrier state. Anthropophilic dermatophytes (i.e. Trichophyton tonsurans and Trichophyton violaceum) have been generally associated with high rates of asymptomatic carriage. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the hairbrush, toothbrush and cotton swab methods for diagnosing scalp carriage as well as to determine the prevalence and related dermatophyte species for both asymptomatic and symptomatic tinea capitis in Adana Province, Turkey. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A screening study was carried ou…

Linking diet and planetary health: psychometric evaluation of the climatarian diet adherence scale.

BACKGROUND: While the effects of different types of diets on health and their role in weight loss have been researched for many years, their impact on planetary health has been a subject of study for a much shorter time. The amount of clean water polluted, the amount of greenhouse gases generated, and the land required for the production of the food we consume are now also becoming increasingly important. This study aimed to develop a scale to assess adherence to the climatarian diet, a dietary pattern designed to minimize environmental impacts. METHODS: A 25-item draft that was developed by

Association between regional income inequality and infant mortality rates in Türkiye: an ecological panel analysis of NUTS-2 regions, 2014-2024.

BACKGROUND: Income inequality may affect infant survival through socioeconomic and health-care pathways, but regional evidence from Türkiye remains limited. This study examined the association between regional income inequality and infant mortality rates across the 26 NUTS-2 regions of Türkiye during 2014-2024. METHODS: This longitudinal ecological panel study used publicly available data from the Turkish Statistical Institute. Income inequality was measured using the Gini coefficient and P80/P20 ratio. Linear mixed-effects models included a regional random intercept and a first-order autoreg

Mitochondrial DNA variation reveals shared maternal lineages between Kazakh and Turkish fat-tailed sheep breeds.

BACKGROUND: Local livestock breeds represent a significant genetic resource shaped by historical human migrations. While morphological similarities between Central Asian and Anatolian sheep breeds have long suggested a shared ancestry, molecular evidence linking these populations to specific historical migrations remains limited. This study investigates the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Kazakh (Edilbay) and Turkish (Akkaraman, Morkaraman, Awassi) fat-tailed sheep breeds using mtDNA D-loop sequencing to explore the maternal lineages of these historically connected populati
