Objectives/Hypothesis: To determine the effects of complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) and home programs on external lymphedema, staging of lymphedema, fibrosis, and three-dimensional (3D) surface scanning and volume evaluation in head and neck lymphedema. Study Design: A prospective randomized controlled study. Methods: Twenty-one patients were randomly divided into three groups: CDP (n:7), home program (n:7), and control (n:7). Assessment methods were applied at baseline and 4 weeks later for all groups. MD. Anderson Cancer Center Head and Neck Lymphedema Protocol was implemented to evaluate head and neck external lymphedema, staging of lymphedema, and fibrosis. A 3D scanner and a software were used to determine and calculate the volume of the head and neck region via 3D surface scanning. Head and neck external lymphedema and fibrosis assessment criteria were performed to evaluate visible soft tissue edema and the degree of stiffness. Results: The severity and volume of lymphedema decreased in the CDP program group (P <.05). Besides, external lymphedema and fibrosis at submental region were decreased in both CDP program and home program groups (P <.05). Conclusions: While the benefits of home program are limited, a CDP program may be more effective in the management of lymphedema and fibrosis in patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer. The clinical trial registration number: NCT04286698, date: 02/25/2020, retrospectively registered.

Numerical Study of the Aerodynamic Effects of Septoplasty and Partial Lateral Turbinectomy
OZLUGEDIK, Samet; NAKIBOGLU, Gunes; Sert, Cüneyt; Elhan, Alaittin; Tönük, Ergin; Akyar, Serdar; Tekdemir, Ibrahim (Wiley, 2008-02-01)
Objectives: To investigate, first, the effects of septal deviation and concha bullosa on nasal airflow, and second, the aerodynamic changes induced by septoplasty and partial lateral turbinectomy, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Integration of a Genetically Encoded Calcium Molecular Sensor into Photopolymerizable Hydrogels for Micro-Optrode-Based Sensing
Kahyaoğlu, Leyla Nesrin; Park, Joon Hyeong; Rickus, Jenna L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-09-20)
Genetically encoded molecular-protein sensors (GEMS) are engineered to sense and quantify a wide range of biological substances and events in cells, in vitro and even in vivo with high spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we aim to stably incorporate these proteins into a photopatternable matrix, while preserving their functionality, to extend the application of these proteins as spatially addressable optical biosensors. For this reason, we examined the fabrication of 3D hydrogel microtips doped with a ge...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NONSPECIFIC INFLAMMATION MARKERS AND COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGING IN NON-TRAUMATIC ACUTE ABDOMEN

Aims: The purpose of the study was to establish whether the patients presenting with abdominal pain should undergo to contrast enhanced CT (Computed tomography). For this purpose, we have investigated the possible relationship between CRP (C-reactive protein),WBC (White blood cell), neutrophil levels and the presence of pathological findings determined on abdominal pelvic CT images.
The effects of antioxidants on some rat tissues and membranes
Görgülü, Güvenç; Güray, Tülin; Department of Biochemistry (2004)
High blood glucose levels induce metabolic disorders that initiate a sequence of events including renal, arterial, cardiac and retinal disorders. Diabetes mellitus increases oxidative stress in tissues of animals including humans. The resulting oxidative stress might play role in the development of diabetic complications. In the present study, 36 male Wistar rats (250-300g) were divided into 5 groups as Control (n=6), Diabetic (n=7), Diabetic + Vit C (n=7), Diabetic + a-Lipoic acid (n=6) and Diabetic + Comb...
