Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To compare erythrocyte recovery by a cell salvage device between swab-washing by manual agitation or filtration.

SAMPLE
12 recently expired units of canine packed RBCs.

PROCEDURE
The packed RBC units underwent quality analysis before donation from a pet blood bank. Each unit was volume-expanded with anticoagulant and subsequently divided into 2 equal aliquots used to soak surgical swabs before washing. Two different swab-washing techniques were evaluated—standard swab-washing–manual agitation (SW-MA) and swab-washing–filtration (SW-F)—with a novel prototype device. The resulting bloody fluid was processed using the Cell Saver Elite Autotransfusion System (Haemonetics). The volume, manual PCV, CBC, and RBC mass, calculated as the product of the volume and PCV, were measured before and after salvaging. Last, the RBC mass recovery was recorded as a percentage.

RESULTS
The RBC mass recovered from SW-MA and SW-F averaged 85.73% and 83.99%, respectively. There was no significant difference in RBC recovery between the 2 methods (P = .52).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
SW-MA and SW-F recovered a similar quantity of RBCs from blood-soaked swabs in an ex vivo setting.

Bessel functions find many applications in Physics and Engineering fields. Some of these applications are in the analysis of extended surface heat transfer where the cross-sections vary. Tables of various kinds of Bessel functions are available in most handbooks of mathematics. However, the use of tables is not always convenient, particularly for applications where many values must be computed. In the applications of Bessel functions in extended surface heat transfer, graphs are also available to provide quick evaluations of the values needed. However, reading these graphs always needs interpolation; this will be cumbersome and time-consuming if there are many readings to be taken. Mathematical formulas for Bessel functions are available but they are usually complicated. Software to calculate values of Bessel functions is also available. Excel, Maple, and Mathematica can also be used to compute the values of Bessel functions. A user can write a program for an application that involves Bessel functions. However, the use of Bessel functions in Excel is limited while Maple and Mathematica are expensive commercial software. In this paper, formulas for Bessel functions of and are simplified with adequate accuracy that can be used to easily compute values needed in the extended surface heat transfer analysis. It is found that errors for and are relatively small (maximum errors are 0.004% and 0.003%, respectively) in the range of 0.05 to 3.75 while the maximum error for is 3.678% for the same range. However, the maximum error for is reduced to 0.166 if the range is from 0.25 to 3.75.

Authors: HOŞGÖR Haydar , SEVİM Ekrem 
Published: July 2022

Aims: In this meta-analytic study, the relationship between satisfaction and brand image variables was investigated from the perspectives of patients and hospitals.
Methods: After our review of the literature which covered 2010 and 2021, 19 studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed with the meta-analysis method. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis package program was used in the analysis of the data.
Findings: The total number of the participants in the samples within the scope of the studies was 6,038. It was determined that 100% of the studies were published as articles, 68.4% were in English, and while 31.6% were published between 2010 and 2015, 68.4% were published between 2016 and 2021. According to the random effect model, a statistically significant, positive and strong relationship (r: ~0.50) was determined between patient satisfaction and hospital brand image variables.
Conclusion: In other words, it was revealed that of the patients who were satisfied with the results of the health service they received, those whose satisfaction level was high perceived the brand image of the hospital more successfully. In this context, it can be recommended that hospital administrators who want their hospitals' brand image to be perceived by health service recipients as high should attach more importance to patient satisfaction.

Published: July 2022

Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is prevalent in leguminous and solanaceous crops but over the last five years, its severity has increased in several crops such as rice, onion and chilli in Nepal. A study on cross infectivity of S. rolfsii was carried out in March, 2019 at Agriculture and Forestry University, Chitwan. S. rolfsii were isolated from eight crop species viz. rice, lentil, rajma, onion, chickpea, rapeseed, soybean, and chilli. Cross infectivity of the eight isolates was done on the seven crop species in artificially inoculated soils in a screen house. Morphological characters such as mycelial growth rate, number of sclerotia formed, and size of sclerotia were studied. Morphological characters of the S. rolfsii varied among the isolates. All crop species tested were found to be susceptible to all isolates except onion isolate. Germination percentage was greatly reduced (80%) in rajma. Post emergence seedling mortality ranged between 10% in rice and chilli and 100% in chickpea, mustard lentil and rajma. The results of the present study indicate that management strategies of this pathogen should incorporate selection of non-host crops such as maize for crop rotation which helps to prevent build-up of inoculum.

Published: July 2022

Soft skills ability as a result of learning is very important for prospective teachers, including self-efficacy (SE), and problem-solving skills (PSS). However, based on previous research, it is revealed that the development of students’ SE and PSS tends to be neglected so that it affects the low ability of students' SE and PSS. The aim of this study is to investigate the level of SE, and PSS of pre-service Islamic teachers based on gender perspectives. A total of 150 pre service islamic teachers (60 male and 90 female) are taken as research sample with cluster and snowball random technic. The research design used a survey with focus group interviews. Survey data were analyzed using the MANOVA test at the significance level of 0.05, and interview data analysis using Patton technique. Some interesting findings include (1) There is no difference in PSS of PAI teacher candidates in gender perspective; (2) It was found that there were differences in the self-efficacy of pre-service Islamic teacher in gender perspective; and (3) The findings of the survey results were strengthened by the results of interviews which revealed that there was no difference between male and female students' PSS abilities, but SE of female students was higher than male students. The research conclusion is that there are no differences in student PSS based on gender, but there are differences in student SE based on gender.

Authors: ALTUNAL Çetin , ŞAHİNER İbrahim Tayfun 
Published: July 2022

Aim: In this retrospective observational study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between breast cancer deaths and demographic properties of countries.
Material and Method: The research was conducted on World Health Organization (WHO) 10th International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) mortality list and World Bank Country Reports (WBCR). Total breast cancer-related deaths, age groups and urban population rates of 14 countries between 1996 and 2017 were evaluated.
Results: Both uncontrolled and controlled correlation analysis results showed that population age distribution had a significant correlation with total breast cancer-related deaths (p0.05). Generalized Linear Model (GLM) results showed that only the country had a significant effect on total breast cancer related deaths (p0.05).
Conclusion: Although reasons such as age and urbanization play an important role among breast cancer risk factors, it is found that they do not affect mortality rates. A total of 22 years of WHO data and 14 country results showed that deaths due to breast cancer are only related to the country. Therefore, countries can minimize deaths due to breast cancer by carrying out more effective struggles, early diagnosis, treatment and awareness activities.

Can phosphatidylcholine increase the efficacy of bioactive glass graft when used as a carrier? an experimental study
Authors: KAYA Murat , KARAHAN Nazim , PEPELE Demet , YILMAZ Barış , MİDİ Ahmet , ÖZPIÇAK Batuhan 
Published: July 2022

Aim: Bioactive glass (Bioglass) is a substance causing strong mechanical bondings at the interface of soft tissue-biomaterial-bone through a series of biochemical and biophysical reactions, commonly used to restore developing bone defects due to surgery. On the other hand, phosphatidylcholine is a lipid substance increasing antibiotics’ efficiency as a carrier. Since we met no study using the combination of Bioglass and phosphatidylcholine for bone defects, we aimed to investigate whether the bioglass-phosphatidylcholine combination would be more effective.
Material and Method: Thirty Sprague-Dawley 3-6-months-old female rats with a mean weight of 400 gr were divided into five subgroups (six in each group). A 5-mm critical defect was created in the middle of the condyle throughout the burr’s diameter bilaterally. The phosphatidylcholine-bioglass graft was placed at one side, and Bioglass contralaterally to fill the defect. The rats were sacrificed at 24 hours, 72 hours, first, third, and sixth weeks postoperatively. The right and left rat femurs were removed and examined histopathologically.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding filling volume, newly formed and necrotic bone, fibrous tissue, residual graft material, integration, foreign body reaction, and defect organization, indicating that Bioglass served efficiently for filling the defect. In addition, phosphatidylcholine neither augmented nor impaired the healing process.
Conclusion: These results indicated that Bioglass served efficiently for filling the defect, and the presence of phosphatidylcholine neither augmented nor impaired the healing process. However, further experimental studies are required until its clinical application is implemented.

Published: July 2022

Aim: Transradial angiography (TRA) is recommended in clinical practice; it is better than the transfemoral route to prevent site-related complications. Radial artery occlusion is one of the most seen significant complications after TRA. In the present study, the protective effect of low dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) use against the radial artery occlusion (RAO) and the predictive ability of some thrombotic and inflammatory factors for the development of RAO were investigated.
Material and Method: One thousand two hundred fifty-four patients who planned for elective coronary angiography were screened to include transradial coronary angiography. The patients have grouped group I, who took ASA (100 mg) (n= 56), and group II (n= 51), who did not. Blood samples were taken immediately after sheath insertion and after the six hours of the sheath removal. The D-dimer and C-reactive protein values were analyzed between groups. In the first 24 hours after the procedure, the radial Doppler ultrasonography assessment was performed to detect RAO. Multivariable regression analysis was used to evaluate the independent risk factors for the TRA.
Results: Eligible one hundred seven stable patients were included in the study. The demographic, laboratory and procedural characteristics were similar between the two groups (Table 2). TRA was statistically lower in Group I compared to Group II. (n=3 vs. n=22, p=.001). Multivariable regression analysis demonstrated that postprocedural higher D-dimer levels and non-ASA status were found to be the independent risk factors for RAO (OR (95% CI=1.235(1.014-1.582) p=.001, 5.534 (3.376-9.252), p .05).
Conclusion: Preprocedural ASA use may have a protective role against the RAO. Pre- and post-procedural D-dimer levels can predict the thrombotic process in the early phase of the RAO.

Authors: COŞKUN Nazım , YÜKSEL Alptuğ Özer , CANYİĞİT Murat , ÖZDEMİR Elif 
Published: July 2022

Aim: To investigate the relationship between the textural features extracted from pre-treatment fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission with computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) and the response to treatment in patients undergoing transarterial radioembolization (TARE) due to primary or metastatic liver tumors.
Material and Method: A total of 25 liver lesions from the pre-treatment F-18 PET/CT images of 14 patients were segmented manually. Standard uptake value (SUV) metrics and radiomics features were extracted for each lesion. Metabolic treatment response was determined according to PERCIST criteria in 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging performed 2 months after the treatment. Feature selection was done with recursive feature elimination (RFE). The association between selected features and treatment response was evaluated with logistic regression analysis.
Results: Eventually, 13 lesions responded to TARE, while 12 lesions remain stable or progressed. All standard uptake values and 27 out of 30 textural heterogeneity indicators were significantly higher in lesions that responded to treatment. SUVmax, kurtosis and dissimilarity features were selected by the RFE algorithm for the prediction of response to TARE. Logistic regression analysis revealed that all three parameters were significantly associated with treatment outcome.
Conclusion: Textural features extracted from pre-treatment F-18 FDG PET/CT in patients undergoing TARE due to liver tumors are promising biomarkers that can be potentially used to predict metabolic treatment response.
To the calculation of steel structures from thin-walled rods
Authors: Perelmuter Anatolii 
Published: July 2022

The article contains a brief historical essay on the main ideas for calculating systems composed of thin-walled rods of open profile. The main approaches to the calculation of these systems taking into account the inequality of nodal deplanations are analyzed.
It is proposed to use the finite element method using thin finite rods and specially constructed superelements as finite elements, which take into account the participation of nodal joints. The stiffness matrix of a thin-walled rod of the 14th order, built on the basis of the classical Vlasov's non-slip theory for open-profile rods, when the cross-sectional displacement is taken into account. Nodal superelements consist of shell finite elements and have m deplanation degrees of freedom according to the number of rods that approach the node.
With the help of the matrix of stiffness of the nodal superelement, the connection between the deplanai, which affect the node, and the reactive forces, which have the form of bimoments realized. The method of construction of the node stiffness matrix is ​​indicated, which is based on the use of infinitely rigid bodies, displacements and rotations of which allow to simulate the influence of deplanations on the node. The peculiarities of the assembly operation in the presence of nodal superelements are indicated.
Possible variants of inclusion of the considered technique in software complexes for calculation of building designs are specified.

Published: July 2022

This article examines one of the social problems in society which is currently a global issue, namely body shaming behavior. Body shaming behavior is an act of commenting, criticizing or bullying someone's physical (body condition) with the aim of humiliating, because the physical condition of the individual is considered not in accordance with the applicable body image standards and deserves to be commented on. This study examines the behavior of body shaming from the perspective of the hadith. This study seeks to find a correlation between body shaming behavior described in the hadith and explores the preventive actions offered from Islamic perspective. The method used is qualitative-descriptive through library research. The results of this study are 1). Hadith narrated by Tirmidhi: 2502 in general explains how the prophet's view of body shaming behavior is. 2). The meaning of the hadith content in it is an invitation to stay away from body shaming behavior. 3). Impact on victims of body shaming behavior in a psychological perspective. 4). Preventive actions offered to prevent body shaming behavior.
