Radar human breathing dataset for applications of ambient assisted living and search and rescue operations.

This dataset consists of signatures of human vital signs that are recorded by ultrawideband radar and lidar sensors. The data acquisition scene considers the human posture models(supine/lateral/facedown), different radar antenna angles towards the human, various set of distances and operational radar characteristics (bandwidth selection/mean power). The raw data files of lidar&radar and processed data files are presented separately in the data repository.

Circulating furin, IL-6, and presepsin levels and disease severity in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in a vast number of infections and deaths that deeply affect the world. When the virus encounters the host cell, it binds to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, then the S protein of the virus is broken down by the transmembrane protease serine 2 with the help of furin, allowing the virus to enter the cell. The elevated inflammatory cytokines suggest that a cytokine storm, also known as cytokine release syndrome, may play a major role in the pathology of COVID-19.

The relationship between childhood obesity with inflammatory mediators.

Objective: To determine the association of various obesity markers with systemic immune-inflammatory index.

The patients were evaluated for height, weight, body mass index (BMI), fat percentage (F%), fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM).

Association between GLP-1 receptor gene polymorphisms with reward learning, anhedonia and depression diagnosis.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs) are widely expressed in the brain. Evidence suggests that they may play a role in reward responses and neuroprotection. However, the association of GLP-1R with anhedonia and depression diagnosis has not been studied.

Interactions between sleep disruption, motor learning, and p70 S6 kinase 1 signaling.

Offline gains in motor performance after initial motor learning likely depend on sleep, but the molecular mechanisms by which this occurs are understudied. Regulation of mRNA translation via p70 S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) signaling represents one potential mechanism, as protein synthesis is thought to be increased during sleep compared to wake and is necessary for several forms of long-term memory. Using phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 (RpS6) as a readout of S6K1 activity, we demonstrate that a period of 10 h of acute sleep disruption impairs both S6K1 signaling and offline gains in motor performance on the rotarod in adult wild type C57/Bl6 mice.

An analysis on HBsAg, Anti-HCV, Anti-HIV½ and VDRL test results in blood donors according to gender, age range and years.

Objective: Blood transfusion is the most frequently used and life-saving therapeutic procedure today. Transmission of virus, bacteria and parasitic microorganisms may occur due to transfusion (Transfusion transmitted infections-TTIs). Hepatitis B and C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis (Treponema pallidum) bear the risk of transmission by transfusion.

GLP-1's role in neuroprotection: a systematic review.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a target for treatment of diabetes; however, its function in the brain is not well studied. In this systematic review, we aimed to analyze the neuroprotective role of GLP-1 and its defined mechanisms. : We searched 'Web of Science' and 'Pubmed' to identify relevant studies using GLP-1 as the keyword.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the characteristics of hearing loss in patients with Behçet's disease.

Methods: Twenty-six consecutive patients with Behçet's disease and a control group consisting of 25 age-matched healthy subjects were prospectively included in this study. Pure tone and speech audiometry, tympanometry, distortion product otoacoustic emission testing, and auditory brainstem-evoked response assessment were performed in the patients and controls.

Surgical outcome of bronchiectasis in children: long term results of 60 cases.

Background: Bronchiectasis is described as destruction and the irreversible dilatation of bronchial structure. We wanted to demonstrate our surgical practice and outcome of surgical treatment in bronchiectasis.

Methods: We studied records of 60 pediatric patients who underwent surgical resection in our clinic between January 2000 and January 2013.

Induction of apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation by the cyclooxgenase enzyme blocker nimesulide in the Ishikawa endometrial cancer cell line.

Objectives: Endometrial cancer remains a leading cause of death in women and therefore the development of new therapies is essential. The present study evaluated the effects of nimesulide alone, cisplatin alone, and combination of cisplatin and nimesulide on an Ishikawa cell line with respect to cytotoxicity and induction of apoptosis in vitro.

Study Design: Ishikawa cells were treated with increasing doses of nimesulide alone, cisplatin alone, and a combination of cisplatin and nimesulide.

A diagnostic challenge: a case of acrodermatitis enteropathica without hypozincemia and with maternal milk of low zinc level.

Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare and distinct form of zinc deficiency with a requirement of life-long zinc supplementation and inherited in a recessive manner. Transient nutritional zinc deficiency is also a well known condition mimicking acrodermatitis enteropathica like skin changes in preterm and term infants who are generally breastfed with a low level of zinc containing milk. Here, a 4-month-old male, term and fully breastfed acrodermatitis enteropathica case without hypozincemia and with maternal milk of low zinc level is presented.

Reliability of diffusion weighted MR imaging in differentiating degenerative and infectious end plate changes.

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the value of diffusion weighted MR imaging in the diagnosis of Modic type 1 change, which may be confused with the acute infectious spondylodiscitis on conventional MR imaging.

Patients And Methods: Twenty-seven patients with erosive intervertebral osteochondrosis, Modic type 1 and 18 patients with spondylodiscitis were included in this retrospective study. All images were acquired using on 1.
