    The effects of sterile or infected bile and dropped gallstones in abdominal adhesions and abscess formation
    (Springer New York, 1997) Soybir G.R.; Köksoy F.; Polat C.; Özşeker A.; Yalçln O.; Aker Y.; Topuzlu C.
    Background: The effects of gallstones and sterile or infected bile on postoperative adhesions and abscess formation were investigated in Sprague Dawley rats. Methods: The first three groups were injected intraperitoneally with serum saline, sterile bile, or infected bile, respectively. Laparotomy was adjusted to the next seven groups. Serum saline, sterile bile, and infected bile were injected in the fourth through sixth groups intraperitoneally, respectively. Gallstones were placed intraabdominally to the seventh through ninth groups. The injections of sterile bile in group 7 and of infected bile in group 8 were added to laparotomies. Only laparotomy was carried out in group 10. Results: Abscess formations were seen only in infected-bile-injected groups. Significant adhesion formations were seen in infected-bile groups. Sterile bile and/or gallstones had no significant effect in abscess or adhesion formation. Conclusions: Results suggest that noninfected gallstones and sterile bile, even in combination, do not increase post-operative intraabdominal complications in rats.

    Nutrition and physical activity: Health information sources in EU member states, and activities in the commission, WHO, and european networks
    (Springer New York, 2008) Wolfram N.; Rigby M.; Sjöström M.; Frazzica R.G.; Kirch W.; Aranceta J.; Drygas W.; Frezzica R.G.; Hercberg S.; Karashkevica J.; Kierch W.; Kragelj-Zaletel L.; Kunesova M.; Linos A.; Majerus S.; Markidou E.; Milevska N.; Miseviĉiene I.; Özcan C.; Popova S.; Sjötröm M.; Sologiuc F.V.; Tóth I.G.; Van Oyen H.; Veenhof C.; Veidebaum T.
    Physical Activity and Nutrition Health Information Activities of the EU, WHO, other European Networks, and National Examples Edited by Nicole Wolfram, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany Michael Rigby, Keele University, United Kingdom Rosa Guiseppa Frazzica, Centro per la Formazione Permanente e l'Aggiornamento del Personale del Servizio Sanitario (CEFPAS), Italy Wilhelm Kirch, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany Many health information activities related to nutrition and physical activity have been initiated by various institutions and European networks during the past years. This report assembles findings from the World Health Organization, the EU, various European networks, and national health institutions to create a coordinated health database focusing specifically on physical activity and nutrition. The central role of these factors in long-term health and illness underscores the importance of these data to each nation's health status, and to the current state of its health monitoring, and reporting. This report provides recommendations for future health information activities on physical activity and nutrition. Whether the goal is identifying risk populations or heightening awareness of public health issues. This comprehensive volume: •Provides health data for EU member states and candidate countries, as well as the European Economic Area. •Analyses health trends and the effectiveness of current programs by country. •Reviews data collection methods and features a full analysis of the database. •Pinpoints emerging and unresolved health issues and offers recommendations for future initiatives and study. Physical Activity and Nutrition offers salient reading to professionals in public health, health promotion, international and global health, and disease prevention. Policymakers and others involved in the standardization of health and health awareness programs will especially be interested in this book. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

    Apolar constituents of some biologically active dianthus species from Western Anatolia
    (Springer New York, 2009) Durucasu I.; Mutlu K.; Sik L.; Yasa I.; Arda N.; Kirmizigul S.
    The apolar constituents of four Dianthus (Caryophyllaceae) species were determined by GC-MS. Palmitic, linoleic, and oleic acids were detected as dominant components in all species. D. elegans d'Urv. var. elegans had the highest antioxidant activity. All four species also showed considerable antimicrobial activity against S. epidermidis and C. albicans. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.

    Polyarteritis nodosa
    (Springer New York, 2014) Duruöz M.T.
    Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis that typically affects medium-sized muscular arteries. Small muscular arteries can occasionally be affected. PAN may affect any organ except lungs. Skin lesions are present in about 50 % of patients. Livedo reticularis, eruptions, skin infarctions, ulcerations, subcutaneous erythematous nodules, and digital ischemic changes may occur. The association of PAN with HBV is particularly strong. Diagnosis requires the integration of clinical, angiography, and biopsy findings. A cutaneous form of polyarteritis, affecting predominantly the lower extremities, is distinguished from systemic PAN by its restriction to the skin and to the neurological and osteo-muscular systems, lack of visceral involvement, and benign course. The skin involvement in microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) may mimic PAN. Biopsy of an affected artery can confirm the diagnosis. The specimen for biopsy may include the skin, skeletal muscle, sural nerve, liver, and kidney, depending on the clinical features. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014.
