Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Decent Work Questionnaire and its effect on job satisfaction.

Background: Work to develop a universal tool for the psychological evaluation and measurement of decent work is relatively new. In addition, the Decent Work Questionnaire, which evaluates decent work using a psychological approach, has not yet been adapted and validated in the Turkish sample group.

Objective: To adapt and validate the Turkish version of the Decent Work Questionnaire and to evaluate the effect of decent work on the job satisfaction among knowledge workers.

Liver Abscess in a Cyanotic Newborn.

Umbilical venous catheterisation is a common bedside procedure in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Complications including thrombus formation, thromboembolism, vessel perforation, haemorrhage, and central line-associated bloodstream infection can be seen after the procedure. Pyogenic liver abscess is a rare but life-threatening complication of umbilical venous catheterisation.

Early postnatal metabolic profile in neonates with critical CHDs.

Background: Cyanotic CHD is a life-threatening condition that presents with low oxygen saturation in the newborn period. Hypoxemia might cause alterations in the metabolic pathways. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the early postnatal amino acid and carnitine/acylcarnitine profiles of newborn infants with cyanotic CHD.

Does a prenatal diagnosis affect mortality and morbidity for neonatal arterial switch operation.

Background: The effect of prenatal diagnosis on prognosis in patients with transposition of the great arteries is not clear. In this study, we compared the outcomes after arterial switch operation.

Methods: Outcome of 112 patients who had arterial switch operation in the neonatal period were analysed.

Investigation of empty container shortage based on SWARA-ARAS methods in the COVID-19 era.

A shortage of empty containers has become a global crisis with more devastating effects than during previous periods when combined with various problems arising from the COVID-19, such as an increase in an imbalance of global trade between supply and demand, a decrease in the workforce, and restrictions by countries or regional quarantine practices. The absence of empty containers in regions where they are needed slows down industrial activities and locks the global supply networks, necessitating the use of alternative methods that are inefficient. Although this shortage causes many disruptions in global trade, solutions to the issue have not been studied in detail.

Clinical, genetic, and structural basis of apparent mineralocorticoid excess due to 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 deficiency.

Mutations in 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 gene () cause an extraordinarily rare autosomal recessive disorder, apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME). AME is a form of low renin hypertension that is potentially fatal if untreated. Mutations in the gene result either in severe AME or a milder phenotype (type 2 AME).

A stable late soleus EMG response elicited by cortical stimulation during voluntary ankle dorsiflexion.

Transcranial electrical or magnetic stimulation was performed in 47 experiments on 42 normal adult subjects. Surface compound muscle action potentials were recorded from the antagonistic tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus (SOL) muscles. A stable late response recorded from SOL during voluntary ankle dorsiflexion is described and called soleus MEP-80.

[Callosal infarction after bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries with hemineglect syndrome and astasia-abasia].

We report a patient who had a callosal infarct, showed by Computer Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, without injury to the adjacent hemispheres. Angiography revealed an occlusion of both internal carotid arteries. Besides interhemispheric disconnection with unilateral left agraphia, left tactile anomia, left ideomotor apraxia and left ear auditivoverbal extinction, the patient showed signs of left hemineglect and astasia-abasia, both persistent.

Reabsorption of inorganic sulfate in the frog kidney: saturation of transport mechanism.

1. Clearance experiments were performed to study reabsorption of inorganic sulfate (SO4) in the frog kidney. 2.

Lack of effect of rat atrial natriuretic factor (rANF) on the renal function in frogs.

1. The aim of the present experiments was to examine the question whether the rat atrial natriuretic factor (rANF 1-28) could alter the fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) and other solutes in the frog (Rana esculenta). 2.

Time course of plasma corticosterone, 18-hydroxycorticosterone and aldosterone concentrations following CRF administration in the rat. A phase of corticosterone inhibition.

Synthetic ovine CRF (8 micrograms/rat) injected intravenously in nembutal anaesthetized rats increased not only plasma ACTH and corticosterone but also aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone concentrations. The maximum elevation occurred 30 min after oCRF administration. 2 h and 4 h after injection the hormone concentrations declined and after 6 h the corticosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone values were lower than the corresponding controls.

Effects of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) on aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone secretion.

To determine the effect of CRF administration on in vivo mineralocorticoid release, we performed experiments in rats and in man. In man, plasma aldosterone and 18-hydroxycorticosterone levels increased following i.v.

The effect of potassium on frog stomach muscle.

1 KCl relaxed strips of frog stomach muscle. Usually, the effect was biphasic, i.e.
