Imaging modalities play a crucial role in the management of suspected COVID-19 patients. Before reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results are positive, 60-93% of patients have positive chest computed tomographic (CT) findings consistent with COVID-19. We report a case of positive lung ultrasound findings consistent with COVID-19 in a woman with an initially negative RT-PCR result. The lung ultrasound-imaging findings were present between the negative and subsequent positive RT-PCR tests and correlated with CT findings. The point-of-care lung-ultrasound examination was easy to perform and, as such, could play an important role in the triage of women with suspected COVID-19. The neonatal swabs, cord blood and placental swab RT-PCR tests were negative for SARS-CoV-2, a finding consistent with the published literature suggesting no vertical transmission of this virus in pregnant women.

Shared decision making: a serious game based on OSCE for clinicians Sülün, Ahmet; Yet, Barbaros; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2022-8-31) Shared decision making(SDM) is an essential process to improve outcomes and reflect patient views in medical consultation. In SDM, the treatment that patient will take is a decision reached by the participation of both the clinician and the patient. To achieve SDM, clinicians should explain possible treatment options with their pros and cons and encourage patients to join in the process, and patients should state their ideas about the options and preferences about the outcomes. This process follows three st...
Wireless enabled fatigue sensor for structural health monitoring Özkul, Tarık; Kaplan, Halit (2011-3-15) A fatigue sensor for monitoring the health state of structural members is disclosed. The sensor has multiple parallel beams, each sensitive to different levels of fatigue, that are designed to fail prematurely but progressively as the sensor goes through the same fatigue cycles as the structural member it is attached to. Whenever fatigue levels on a particular beam of the sensor exceed the engineered number of fatigue cycles, that particular beam fails and sensor electronics can detect that failure and tran...
Vessel segmentation in MRI using a variational image subtraction approach SARAN, AYŞE NURDAN; Nar, Fatih; SARAN, MURAT (2014-01-01) Vessel segmentation is important for many clinical applications, such as the diagnosis of vascular diseases, the planning of surgery, or the monitoring of the progress of disease. Although various approaches have been proposed to segment vessel structures from 3-dimensional medical images, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no known technique that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as prior information within the vessel segmentation of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or magnetic resonance ...
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.
CRACK PHASE-FIELD MODELING OF ANISOTROPIC RUPTURE IN FIBROUS SOFT TISSUES GUELTEKIN, O.; Dal, Hüsnü; HOLZAPFEL, G. A. (2017-09-07) The estimation of rupture in fibrous soft tissues has emerged as a central task in medical monitoring and risk assessment of diseases such as aortic dissection and aneurysms. In an attempt to address the challenges we have established a computational framework within the context of crack phase-field modeling and proposed an energy-based anisotropic failure criterion based on the distinction of isotropic and anisotropic material responses. Numerically we compare that criterion with other anisotropic failure ...
