Cakirgil method in the surgical treatment of older children with developmental dysplasia of the hip: Mid-term follow-up results of 17 hips and literature review.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the results of the Cakırgil method in patients with advanced developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent surgical treatment with the Cakırgil method between January 2011 and December 2022 with a diagnosis of DDH were retrospectively scanned. Thirteen patients (7 females, 6 males; 8.

Determination of some heavy metals in Mastacembelus mastacembelus (Banks & Solander, 1794) in terms of public health.

In this study, the accumulation of some heavy metals in spiny eel (Mastacembelus mastacembelus Banks and Solander, 1794) living in Karakaya Dam Lake was determined and human health risk of this fish when consumed as food was examined. For this purpose, the amounts of copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium(Cd), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) in water samples and in the muscle tissues of the fishes were determined. The amounts of heavy metals showed differences in the muscle tissues of Mastacembelus mastacembelus according to weight, length, sex and age groups of fish.

The comparison of three cyprinid species in terms of heavy metals accumulation in some tissues.

In this study, three cyprinids species (Acanthobrama marmid, Cyprinus carpio, and Chondrostoma regium) from Keban Dam Lake, Elaziğ, Turkey, were compared in terms of the levels of iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in muscle, skin, liver, gonad, and gill tissues. The Co, Cr, Cd, Mn, and Pb were not found in detectable levels in any organs and tissues of any species, according to results obtained by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Only Fe, Cu, and Zn were detected in all tissues examined.

Active chloride cell density in some tissues of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) larvae during the early development stage.

In this study, active chloride cell density in some tissues (gill arch epithelium, skin, and yolk-sac membrane) of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) larvae during the early development stage was investigated using a vital fluorescence staining technique. It was found that the numbers of active chloride cells were very variable, depending on the tissue and age of the larvae. Active chloride cells were most abundant in the skin and yolk-sac membrane, but less so in the gill arch epithelium of newly hatched larvae.

Analysis of toxic effects of Alternaria toxins on esophagus of mice by light and electron microscopy.

In this study, the possible toxic effects of Alternariol Methyl Ether (AME) and Tenuazonic Acid (TeA) produced by Alternaria species on esophagus of mice were investigated by using light and electron microscopy techniques. Mice were orally fed daily with AME or TeA for 10 months and at the end of this period, the effects of these chemicals on the esophageal mucosa were determined. By light microscopic examination, moderate and severe dysplasia characterized by loss of polarity, nuclear pleomorphism, and hyperchromasia were observed in TeA-treated animals.

The effect of egg size on yolk utilization and growth of rainbow trout alevins (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum).

Changes in body weight and yolk weight were studied in rainbow trout alevins derived from large eggs (diameter >4 mm) and small eggs (egg diameter <4 mm) from the same female. Maximal body weight was reached later, and was higher, for alevins derived from large than from small eggs. The yolk was absorbed more quickly by the alevins of small eggs.
