Cold effect in median nerve conductions in clinical carpal tunnel syndrome with normal nerve conduction studies.

Clinical diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is confirmed by nerve conduction studies (NCS). In some cases, NCS may be normal. We aimed to demonstrate changes of distal motor latency (DML) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) pathology of demyelination in entrapment neuropathy with cold application in case of clinical CTS with normal NCS.

A scale-development study: Exploration of intensive-care nurses' attitudes towards futile treatments.

The study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the tool used to assess nurses' attitudes towards futility, and to explore intensive-care nurses' attitudes towards futility. Principal components analysis revealed that 18item scale was made up of four subdimensions that assess Identifying(beliefs), Decision-Making, Ethical Principles and Law, and Dilemma and Responsibilities related to futile treatments. The internal consistency of the scale was in the acceptable range, with a total Cronbach's alpha value of 0.

Seroprevalence of Neospora caninum in Dairy Cattle Raised in Çiçekdaği District of Kırşehir Province.

The Effect of Simvastatin on Pulmonary Damage in Experimental Peritonitis in Rats.

Statins are widely used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, as they inhibit cholesterol synthesis. They also have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and positive endothelial-functional effects. It is hypothesized that simvastatin ameliorates pulmonary damage secondary to peritonitis in rats.

[Protozoons and arthropods found in eyes].

Protozoons and arthropods can be observed commonly all around the world including our country. These parasites can cause different kind of disorders in human and animals. Some of these can cause eye disorders.

[Ticks and transmission of some important diseases by ticks].

Ticks which are commonly found all around the world are ectoparasites which are obliged to suck blood from vertebrates such as mammals and birds during all of their periods of develeopment. They may cause toxicities and paralyses in the course of blood sucking through saliva injection and the attachment sites may become ports of entry for secondary agents. Healthy animals that are severely infested by ticks can show a decreased yield and anemia.
