Analysis of Measles and Rubella Immunoglobulin G Titers in COVID-19 Patients.

Background: The objective of this study is to compare the measles immunoglobulin G (IgG) and rubella IgG levels in patient groups with mild and severe COVID-19 disease and reveal the possible relationship.

Methods: This study was conducted among COVID-19-confirmed patients over 18, under 65 years of age. This study involved 75 participants- divided into two groups.

Microorganism diversity and contamination risk in mosque rosaries and carpets.

Background: Inevitably, the floors of mosques are contaminated with microorganisms, and the risk of pathogen transmission is probably high between the many visitors, but the issue has been infrequently studied.

Objectives: Investigate microorganism variety and risk of contamination on commonly used carpets and rosaries (prayer beads).

Design: Cross-sectional.

Time-domain NIRS system based on supercontinuum light source and multi-wavelength detection: validation for tissue oxygenation studies.

We present and validate a multi-wavelength time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (TD-NIRS) system that avoids switching wavelengths and instead exploits the full capability of a supercontinuum light source by emitting and acquiring signals for the whole chosen range of wavelengths. The system was designed for muscle and brain oxygenation monitoring in a clinical environment. A pulsed supercontinuum laser emits broadband light and each of two detection modules acquires the distributions of times of flight of photons (DTOFs) for 16 spectral channels (used width 12.

Comparison of rapid and conventional methods for investigating of presence in Species.

Objectives: Taking the determination of gene by polymerized chain reaction (PCR) method as a reference in determining methicillin resistance in species, we aimed at comparing the reliability levels of disk diffusion, latex agglutination test and chromogenic agar use methods.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 228 strains isolated between January 2020 and December 2020 in Samsun Training and Research Hospital. Disk diffusion, latex agglutination and chromogen agar medium methods were applied along with the polymerized chain reaction (PCR) method.

Validation and Comparison of Monte Carlo and Finite Element Method in Forward Modeling for Near Infrared Optical Tomography.

Near infrared optical tomography (NIROT) is a non-invasive imaging technique to provide physiological information e.g. the oxygenation of tissue.
