Öğe BCG vaccine and new tuberculosis vaccines against mycobacterium tuberculosis: A review(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2020) Kısa, ÖzgülMycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) causes tuberculosis (TB) which is a serious infectious disease. Bacteria are spread from person to person through tiny droplets released into the air via sneezing and coughing. Despite global efforts to control TB, the disease is the second most common cause of death after Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Currently, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is used to prevent tuberculous meningitis and miliary disease, particularly in young children, but its protective efficacy is variable in adults. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of alternative TB vaccines. Recently, new TB vaccine development efforts have been advanced in different clinical studies. Most of these vaccines are live-attenuated or recombinant mycobacterium, live viral vector-based, and protein/adjuvant vaccines. This review explains the recapitulation of the current status of new TB vaccines updated with scientific literature references.Öğe An overview of vital tooth bleaching(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2020) Şişmanoğlu, SonerBleaching of tooth discolorations became more attractive with the increasing importance of aesthetics. Therefore, in recent years, bleaching treatment has become one of the fastest-growing parts of aesthetic dentistry. Bleaching can generally be carried out with hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide both at-home and in-office. Bleaching systems have been offered to the public as a more conservative and economical approach for improving dental appearance. However, the dental profession should maintain high ethical standards and not recommend cosmetic adjustments to the tooth color to suit the patient’s demand. Therefore, in this article, vital tooth whitening applications are discussed.Öğe Bleaching of nonvital teeth: A review(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2020) Şişmanoğlu, SonerThe teeth frequently become discolored in time due to the endodontic treatment residues in the pulp chamber or hemolytic products accumulated in the dentine tubules after trauma. This condition may cause psychosocial problems for patients. Nonvital bleaching has gained popularity due to its conservative nature and low cost to overcome this unpleasant condition. This article will give an overview of nonvital bleaching techniques, materials and regimens used, bleaching procedure and side-effects.Öğe Chemical composition of essential oil from aerial parts of lactuca serriola L.(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2020) Servi, Hüseyin; Doğan, AhmetThe volatile oil of the aerial parts of Lactuca serriola L. was obtained by the hydro-distillation method for 3 hours with the Clevenger-type apparatus. The chemical composition of oil was determined by GC-MS analyses. Forty-three constituents were identified in oil (84.3%). Heneicosane (8.4%), (E)-β-ionone (6.5%), hexadecanoic acid (6.4%), hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (6.3%), tricosane (5.5%), heptacosane (5.5%), phytol (5.0%) and pentacosane (4.1%) were determined as main compounds in the oil. The oil has saturated n-alkane derivatives as a dominant group. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the chemical composition of volatile of L. serriola from Turkey.Öğe Our clinical experience in upper lumbar hernia: Retrospective evaluation of 47 patients(Altınbaş Üniversitesi, 2020) Bulut, GürayClinical and radiological examination of upper level lumbar disc hernias (L1-2, L2-3, L3-4) and evaluation of surgical results. 47 patients with upper level lumbar disc hernia (ULLDH) among 282 lumbar disc hernias (LDH) performed in our clinic between April 2015 and April 2017. Age, physical examination, disc distances, radiological findings, preoperative and postoperative findings, complications, recurrence, patient satisfaction were evaluated retrospectively according to Prolo scale (via two 5-point Likert-type scales). Maximum resection principle was applied in the operations. All patients were operated with direct lumbar radiographs and lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Lumbar computer tomography and electromyography (EMG) were performed and the diagnoses were supported when necessary. 23 (48.9%) of the cases were male and 24 (51.1%) were female. The average age was 49.9 (25-70). The average period between occurrence of symptoms and attendance to clinic is 3.7 months. The occurrence of L1-2: 3 (6.4%) patients, L2-3: 8 (17%) patients and L3-4: 32 (68.1%) in ULLDH cases (16.6%). Four patients (8.5%) with L2-3 and L3-4 were present. The first operation was not recurred during the 2-year follow-up in our clinic. Spondylodiscitis developed in 1 patient (2.1%) and was improved with medical treatment. In 1 patient (2.1%) preoperative dural injury primer was also repaired. In the early postoperative period, leg pain was disappeared in all cases. According to the Prolo follow-up scale, 31.9% were good and 65.96% were excellent. No bad results had been recorded. The incidence of ULLDH is increasing with the widespread use of MRI. ULLDH, with careful microsurgical technique and maximum disc resection, if operated, surgical success rate increases and complication rate decreases.
