Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Effects of Olive Mill Wastewater Extract Against Food Spoiling/Poisoning, Fish-Pathogenic and Non-Pathogenic Microorganisms.

Although antibiotics are the main therapy for bacterial infections, the reports showed that the overuse (or misuse) of antibiotics will results in several problems such as the development of antibiotic-resistant strains, persistence of drug residues, and numerous environmental concerns. Therefore, finding antibiotic alternatives is considered of vital importance. Investigation of the antimicrobial properties of several plant substances and extracts is of great value to replace antibiotics.

Purpose: To evaluate retinal thickness changes by optical coherence tomography in preobese and obese patients without hyperglycemia.

Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 55 normal (18.5-24.

Retinal neurodegeneration in metabolic syndrome: a spectral optical coherence tomography study.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on retinal neurodegeneration by optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: Patients diagnosed as MetS were compared with the age and sex-matched healthy control group (CG). Waist circumference measurements, fasting serological biochemical tests, and systemic blood pressures of all participants were evaluated.

Evaluation of metabolic stress status in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) exposed to the fungicide folpet.

Among pesticides, fungicides are the most extensively used ones in agriculture and their effects on fish health and indirectly human health are needed to evaluate. Folpet has been used for over 50 years as a fungicide across the world. The mechanism of action of folpet on non-target aquatic organisms is so poorly understood and there is no available information about potential acute toxicity of folpet and its mechanism of action in non-target aquatic organisms.

Interobserver and Intraobserver Agreements of the Detection of Infestation by Confocal Microscopy.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine interobserver and intraobserver agreement, repeatability, and intrasubject variation of the detection of Demodex infestation in eyelids of blepharitis patients using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM).

Methods: Eighty-three eyes of 42 blepharitis patients were included in the study. All eyelids were evaluated from temporal to nasal with IVCM using section mode and 10 lashes with their follicles were imagined, and every image with suspicion of Demodex infestation was recorded.

Real-Life Data of Patients with Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine and provide real-life data of patients with exudative-type age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods: A total of 189 eyes of 160 patients with exudative AMD treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy (anti-VEGF) injections (ranibizumab 0.3 mg/0.

Cutaneous Anthrax on the Upper Eyelid.

A 46-year-old female patient, who presented with a black, crusty lesion on the upper eyelid, was diagnosed with cutaneous anthrax after the detection of in the skin culture. It was determined that the symptoms started after she cooked the meat she bought from a butcher. Anthrax is a disease that should be kept in mind in cutaneous infections even in isolated lesions, especially in endemic areas.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in patients without clinical central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 50 patients with pathologically proven H.

Test anxiety and self-esteem in senior high school students: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: In this study, it is aimed to determine the level of test anxiety and self-esteem in the high school students preparing for the university exam in Bitlis, Turkey, and to investigate the effect of test anxiety on self-esteem.

Material And Methods: Seven-hundred and twenty-four high school students who were preparing for the university entrance examination in Bitlis participated in the study. A questionnaire which includes socio-demographic data form, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Revised Test Anxiety Scale was prepared as an e-questionnaire for the students to fill easily and uploaded to the Bitlis State Hospital's website.

Microbiologic, Pharmacokinetic, and Clinical Effects of Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking on Experimentally Induced Pseudomonas Keratitis in Rabbits.

Purpose: To determine the effects of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) on the penetration of topical 0.5% moxifloxacin, on the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) in the cornea, and on the clinical course in a rabbit eye model of experimentally induced Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis.

Methods: In this prospective animal study, experimental Pseudomonas corneal ulcers were induced in 56 corneas of 28 albino New Zealand rabbits.
