Comparison of patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty and patients undergoing re-revision.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the demographic, clinical, and surgical characteristics of patients who underwent revision hip replacement surgery and those who underwent re-revision surgery. The secondary outcome is the investigation of the factors that play a role in estimating the time between primary arthroplasty surgery and revision surgery.

Patients And Methods: The patients who underwent revision hip arthroplasty in our clinic between 2010- 2020, patients with at least 2 years of follow-up, and who underwent re-revision surgery if needed were included.

Investigation of efficient thermal inactivation parameters of O157:H7 in meatballs by grilling.

The aim of the study was to investigate the safe cooking parameters to eliminate O157:H7 in commonly consumed meatball types, by simulating the meatball formula and the cooking practices of restaurants. Ground meat was inoculated around 7 ± 1 log cfu/g with a cocktail of 5 strains of O157:H7. The meatballs were prepared with different ingredients and seasonings depending on the type (kasap or İnegöl).

Determination of the changes in the gastric fluid endurance of O157 and non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing during storage of experimentally produced beef frankfurter.

Resistance of Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) O157:H7 and serogroups O103, O26 and O145 to synthetic gastric fluid (SGF, pH 1.5) were investigated during frankfurter storage. Pathogens were inoculated (5 ± 1 logcfu g) on frankfurters and frankfurters were stored at 4 °C for 75 days in vacuum packages.

The relationship between scoliosis and upper extremity functions in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between scoliosis and upper extremity functions in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Patients And Methods: Between January 2018 and July 2018, a total of 55 patients (54 males, 1 female; mean age: 9.9±2.

The relationship of ischemia-modified albumin levels to disease activity scores and HLA-B27 in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Objective: Recent studies have implicated increased oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), an altered form of albumin, increases oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between IMA levels and other indicators of disease severity in AS.
