The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between BMD and age at lumbar spine and proximal femur in Turkish males. Two hundred ninety healthy males (aged 20-59 years) were investigated. BMD of the lumbar spine had its peak at ages 30-39, however, the peak for the proximal femur was between the ages of 20 and 29. There was a significant decrease in BMD at proximal femur after these peak values with increasing age. In conclusion, there was a significant correlation between age and the proximal femoral BMD in males and age has a strong predictive power on proximal femur BMD score.

Trace elements in human bone determined by neutron activation analysis Aras, NK; Ertaş, Gülay; Alkan, S; Korkusuz, F (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-01-01) There is an evidence that some of the essential trace elements are crucial determinants of bone health. Excess or deficiency of these elements has a role in the development of bone diseases, therefore research on trace elements in bone is very important. Iliac crest bone biopsies were optioned from twelve persons undergoing orthopedic surgery due to any reason than osteoporosis. Cortical and trabecular parts were separated, and blood and fats were removed. Up to 30 minor and trace elements were determined i...
Precision of a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry device Forkusuz, F; Isikli, S; Akın, Serhat; Ungan, M; Senkoylu, A; Aras, NK (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-01-01) The standard method to diagnose and follow-up osteoporosis is the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Manufacturers' manuals of DEXA devices state the intrascanner coefficient of variance is less than 0.01 g/cm(2). The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vivo coefficient of variance of a Lunar DPX scanner in male and female healthy adult subjects. Average BMD for females and males were 1.170 +/- 0.091 g/cm(2) and 1.272 +/- 0.115 g/cm(2), respectively. Month...
Lung ultrasonography in pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic: an interobserver agreement study among obstetricians Yassa, Murat; Mutlu, Memis Ali; Birol, Pinar; Kuzan, Taha Yusuf; Kalafat, Erkan; Usta, Canberk; Yavuz, Emre; Keskin, Ilkhan; Tug, Niyazi (Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2020-10-01) Purpose: This study investigated interobserver agreement in lung ultrasonography (LUS) in pregnant women performed by obstetricians with different levels of expertise, with confirmation by an expert radiologist.
Composite clinoptilolite/PCL-PEG-PCL scaffolds for bone regeneration: In vitro and in vivo evaluation Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Altunbas, Korhan; Yaprakci, Volkan; Erdemli, Ozge; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Wiley, 2020-01-01) In this study, clinoptilolite (CLN) was employed as a reinforcement in a polymer-based composite scaffold in bone tissue engineering and evaluated in vivo for the first time. Highly porous, mechanically stable, and osteogenic CLN/PCL-PEG-PCL (CLN/PCEC) scaffolds were fabricated with modified particulate leaching/compression molding technique with varying CLN contents. We hypothesized that CLN reinforcement in a composite scaffold will improve bone regeneration and promote repair. Therefore, the scaffolds we...
Developmental genetics and physiology of sex differentiation in vertabrates Uguz, C; İşcan, Mesude; Togan, İnci Zehra (Elsevier BV, 2003-06-01) The involvement of the Y chromosome in sex determination was determined by the development and the application of techniques for karyotyping the mammalian chromosome in 1960s. There were many reports on the particular region of the Y chromosome. Such as histocompatibility (H-Y) antigen, bandit krait minor satellite (Bkm) the zinc finger Y gene (ZFY) and the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome (SRY) which were believed to be the testis determining factors. However, converging experimental evidence hav...
