Aging alters the molecular dynamics of synapses in a sexually dimorphic pattern in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Elsevier, 2017-06)The zebrafish has become a popular model for studying normal brain aging due to its large fecundity, conserved genome, and available genetic tools; but little data exists about neurobiological age-related alterations. The ... -
Analysis of skewed X-chromosome inactivation in females with rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune thyroid diseases
(BioMed Central, 2009)Introduction The majority of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are characterized by a striking female predominance superimposed on a predisposing genetic background. ... -
Application of the RIMARC algorithm to a large data set of action potentials and clinical parameters for risk prediction of atrial fibrillation
(Springer, 2015)Ex vivo recorded action potentials (APs) in human right atrial tissue from patients in sinus rhythm (SR) or atrial fibrillation (AF) display a characteristic spike-and-dome or triangular shape, respectively, but variability ... -
Assessment of diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit and serological markers in human brucellosis
(2008)This study was performed to evaluate commercial brucella immunoglobulin G and M-enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (IgG and IgM ELISA) kits for the diagnosis of human brucellosis and to suggest a candidate prognostic marker ... -
Asymmetric dimethylarginine concentrations are elevated in women with gestational diabetes
(2010)As shown in the previous studies, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is related to endothelial dysfunction, whereas high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hCRP) is the marker of inflammation. In our study, we investigated ADMA, ... -
Aviation risk perception: a comparison between experts and novices
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2004)This article describes an exploratory investigation of the risk perceptions of experts and novices in relation to helicopter operations, under conditions where the participants are matched on various characteristics ... -
BRAPH: A graph theory software for the analysis of brain connectivity
(Public Library of Science, 2017)The brain is a large-scale complex network whose workings rely on the interaction between its various regions. In the past few years, the organization of the human brain network has been studied extensively using concepts ... -
Characterization of a novel zebrafish (Danio rerio) gene, wdr81, associated with cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ)
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)Background: WDR81 (WD repeat-containing protein 81) is associated with cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and disequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ2, [MIM 610185]). Human and mouse studies suggest that it might be a gene of ... -
Coagulation factor V gene mutation increases the risk of venous thrombosis in Behcet's disease
(Oxford University Press, 1996)We investigated the prevalence of the coagulation factor V gene G1691A mutation in 64 patients with Behcet's disease (BD) and in 107 apparently healthy individuals. The mutation was present in the heterozygous state in ... -
Cognitive and emotional representations of terror attacks: a cross-cultural exploration
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2007)A questionnaire measuring cognitive and affective representations of terror risk was developed and tested in Turkey and Israel. Participants in the study were university students from the two countries (n = 351). Four ... -
Colon cancer associated transcript-1 (CCAT1) expression in adenocarcinoma of the stomach
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2015)Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to have functional roles in cancer biology and are dys-regulated in many tumors. Colon Cancer Associated Transcript -1 (CCAT1) is a lncRNA, previously shown to be ... -
A combined ULBP2 and SEMA5A expression signature as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for colon cancer
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2017)Background: Prognostic biomarkers for cancer have the power to change the course of disease if they add value beyond known prognostic factors, if they can help shape treatment protocols, and if they are reliable. The aim ... -
Contact guidance enhances the quality of a tissue engineered corneal stroma
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2008)Corneal stroma is a very complex structure, composed of 200 lamellae of oriented collagen fibers. This highly complex nature of cornea is known to be important for its transparency and mechanical integrity. Thus, an ... -
Context-dependent lightness affects perceived contrast
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)Perceived contrast of a grating varies with its background (or mean) luminance: of the two gratings with the same photometric contrast the one on higher luminance background appears to have higher contrast. Does perceived ... -
Determinants of choosing withdrawal over modern contraceptive methods in Turkey
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)Objectives The determinants of the use of withdrawal in Turkey are examined using a multinomial logistic model. Methods Data were drawn from a nation-wide population-based cross-sectional study, the Turkish Demographic ... -
Determining the origin of synchronous multifocal bladder cancer by exome sequencing
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)Background: Synchronous multifocal tumours are commonly observed in urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. The origin of these physically independent tumours has been proposed to occur by either intraluminal migration ... -
Developing empathy towards older adults in design
(Routledge, 2017-02-06)In design disciplines, an affective understanding of users’ everyday lives can increase designer sensitivity and awareness, leading to higher-quality design outcomes. Developing students’ empathic understanding within ... -
Diagnosis of gastric carcinoma by classification on feature projections
(Elsevier, 2004)A new classification algorithm, called benefit maximizing classifier on feature projections (BCFP), is developed and applied to the problem of diagnosis of gastric carcinoma. The domain contains records of patients with ... -
DNA repair gene polymorphisms and bladder cancer susceptibility in a Turkish population
(International Institute of Anticancer Research, 2006)Background: Occupational exposure and life style preferences, such as smoking are the main known environmental susceptibility factors for bladder cancer. A growing list of chemicals has been shown to induce oxidative DNA ... -
Early outcomes after transoral CO2 laser resection of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: One centre's experience
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)Objectives: To review early oncological outcomes following transoral CO2 laser resection of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Design: Retrospective review of hospital electronic database. Setting: Large ...
