Which is superior for postural stability: contact lens or spectacles?

Clinical Relevance: The visual system plays an important role in providing postural balance. Visual input must have good quality to ensure proper balance.

Background: The aim of this work is to compare the use of soft contact lenses and spectacles in terms of postural stability.

DLLME-spectrophotometric determination of glyphosate residue in legumes.

A new separation and pre-concentration method for spectrophotometric determination of glyphosate herbicide was developed. Glyphosate was converted into dithiocarbamic acid with CS, followed by copper in the presence of ammonia to promote complex formation. This complex was collected in a CHCl organic drop and absorbance measured at 435nm.

Management of Intrauterine Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) in 14 Patients by Sonographically Guided Tisseel Application.

Purpose: AVMs are rare tumorous vascular lesions derived from placental tissue that may present with massive post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) causing potentially life-threatening anemic shock. Current treatment options include the embolization of uterine arteries and emergency postpartum hysterectomy. We present a new form of minimally invasive, highly specific sonographically guided treatment in the form of the application of a human fibrin sealant leading to the instant cease of blood loss.

The effects of cadmium chloride on secondary metabolite production in Vitis vinifera cv. cell suspension cultures.

Background: Plant secondary metabolites are possess several biological activities such as anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-aging, etc. Cell suspension culture is one of the most effective systems to produce secondary metabolites. It is possible to increase the phenolic compounds and tocopherols by using cell suspensions.

Induction of secondary metabolite production by UV-C radiation in Vitis vinifera L. Öküzgözü callus cultures.

Background: The aim of the present work was to examine the role of UV-C irradiation on the production of secondary metabolites (total phenolic, total flavanols, total flavonols, catechin, ferulic acid and trans-resveratrol in phenolic compounds and α-, β-, γ- δ-tocopherols) in callus cultures. Studies on the effects of UV-C treatment on callus culture are seldom and generally focused on UV-B. However UV-C radiation play an important role in accumule secondary metabolites.

Comparison of basic computer training strategies and their effects on the level of computer anxiety in Turkish nursing students.

The ameliorating influence of different teaching strategies on Turkish nursing students' computer-related anxiety was evaluated in this study. Research data were gathered from a Computer Anxiety Scale before the teaching strategies were put into practice on 134 undergraduate nursing students, and again afterward. Two teaching methods, participative and traditional, were used.
