Background. The optimal surgical treatment for Kienbock's disease with stages IIIB and IV remains controversial. A cadaver study was carried out to evaluate the use of coiled extensor carpi radialis longus tendon for tendon interposition and a strip obtained from the same tendon for ligament reconstruction in the late stages of Kienbock's disease. Methods. Coiled extensor carpi radialis longus tendon was used to fill the cavity of the excised lunate, and a strip obtained from this tendon was sutured onto itself after passing through the scaphoid and the triquetrum acting as a ligament to preserve proximal row integrity. Biomechanical tests were carried out in order to evaluate this new ligamentous reconstruction. Results. It was biomechanically confirmed that the procedure was effective against axial compression and distributed the upcoming mechanical stress to the distal row. Conclusion. Extensor carpi radialis longus tendon has not been used for tendon interposition and ligament reconstruction in the treatment of this disease before. In view of the biomechanical data, the procedure seems to be effective for the stabilization of scaphoid and carpal bones.

Decolourization and removal of some organic compounds from olive mill wastewater by advanced oxidation processes and lime treatment Ugurlu, Mehmet; Kula, Ibrahim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-07-01) Background. Olive mill wastewater (OMW) generated by the olive oil extracting industry is a major pollutant, because of its high organic load and phytotoxic and antibacterial phenolic compounds which resist biological degradation. Mediterranean countries are mostly affected by this serious environmental problem since they are responsible for 95% of the worldwide olive-oil production. There are many methods used for OMW treatment, such as adsorption, electro coagulation, electro-oxidation, biological degrada...

Soccer causes degenerative changes in the cervical spine Kartal, A; Yildiran, I; Senkoylu, A; Korkusuz, Feza (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-02-01) Background. Radiological changes and degeneration of the cervical spine have been previously described in soccer players. The onset of such changes was 10-20 years earlier than that of the normal population. The aim of this study was to assess these early degenerative changes in amateur active and veteran soccer players in a cross-sectional descriptive study using biomechanical, radiological, and magnetic resonance measures.
Turkish women's knowledge of osteoporosis Ungan, Mehmet; Tumer, M (2001-04-01) Background. Preventive measures including patient education can reduce hip fractures related to osteoporosis. Sometimes osteoporosis can be diagnosed with fractures or with a serious health problem, and most women are probably unaware of the risk factors which can be changed by prevention. The first step in preventing osteoporosis in women should be to make them aware of the risk factors.
Seroreactivity against PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) in Turkish patients with Behcet's disease VURAL, Burçak; Demirkan, A.; Ugurel, E.; Kalaylioglu-Wheeler, Z.; Esen, B. A.; Gure, A. O.; Gul, A.; Ozbek, U. (2009-03-01) Background. Behcets disease (BD) is a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers and ocular inflammation, as well as skin, joint, vascular, pulmonary, central nervous system (CNS) and gastrointestinal tract manifestations. The etiopathogenesis of BD has not yet been identified; but it has generally been accepted that several environmental factors may induce an inflammatory, attack in genetically susceptible individuals. In this study, we aimed to identify antige...
