Conjunction of a Fungus Ball and a Pulmonary Tumourlet in a Bronchiectatic Cavity

Herein, we describe the case of a 67-year-old female patient who presented with cough and haemoptysis. Chest computed tomography revealed destruction of the left lower lobe and multiple fungus balls in a bronchiectatic cavity. A left lower lobectomy was performed via thoracotomy. Histopathological examination of the lung showed a concomitant aspergilloma and multiple tumourlets in the large bronchiectatic cavity. Pulmonary intracavitary aspergilloma and concomitant tumourlets are quite rare. Our report presents this interesting case that manifested with haemoptysis.

Comparison between cycles of the same patients when using recombinant luteinizing hormone + recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH), human menopausal gonadotropin + rFSH and rFSH only

Recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH), recombinant luteinizing hormone (rLH), and urinary human menopausal gonadotropin (uHMG) are widely used for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). This study compares the effects of rFSH only, rLH + rFSH, and HMG + rFSH administration on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes for patients in three different yearly follow-up cycles.

Crowd Analysis with Fish Eye Camera

Nowadays crowd analysis, essential factor about decision management of brand strategy, is not a controllable field by individuals. Therefore a technology, software products is needed. In this paper we focused on what we have done about crowd analysis and examination the problem of human detection with fish-eye lenses cameras. In order to identify human density, one of the machine learning algorithm, which is Haar Classification algorithm, is used to distinguish human body under different conditions. First, motion analysis is used to search for meaningful data, and then the desired object is detected by the trained classifier. Significant data has been sent to the end user via socket programming and human density analysis is presented.

Review and Performance Comparison of Pansharpening Algorithms for RASAT Images

This study presents the most extensive performance comparison of pansharpening methodologies by considering 17 pansharpening algorithms that are applied to the satellite images obtained from RASAT, which is the first earth observation satellite designed and manufactured in Turkey. Standard and state-of-the-art pansharpening approaches from various categories, such as component substitution (CS), modulation based (MB), multiresolution analysis (MRA), and hybrid and variational methods, are included in order to gain a better insight and perform a thorough analysis of the performance of various pansharpening methods. The experimental validation procedure was designed according to Wald's protocol, and the performance evaluations were conducted both qualitatively and quantitatively on the basis of seven quantitative evaluation criteria.

Comparison of In Vitro Effects of Opioid Analgesics on Spontaneous Proximal and Distal Colon Contractions in Healthy Rats and Rats with Peritonitis

The goal of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of opioids on proximal and distal colon contractions in normal rats and rats with peritonitis, with and without the presence of naloxone in the environment.

In vitro Investigation of the Pediculicidal Activities of the Volatile Oil Components of Some Medical Plants Raised in Turkey

The human head louse Pediculus capitis has recently acquired resistance to commercially available insecticides, which has expanded the search concerning the pediculicidal activities of some herbal products. The present study aimed to assess the in vitro pediculicidal activities of volatile oils extracted from 10 medical plants raised in Turkey: Rosa damascena (red provins rose), Pelargonium graveolens (geranium), Lavandula angustifolia (lavender), Salvia triloba (salvia), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary; two different chemotypes), Citrus bergamia (citrus tree), Cymbopogon nardus (citronella), Citrus limonum (lemon), and Cymbopogon flexuosus (lemongrass).
