Öğe Are newborn intensive care units suitable for hearing screening?(Cocuk Sagligi ve Hastaliklan Dergisi muratyurdakok@yahoo.com, 2016) Kaya, Mesut; Unsal, Selim; Yilmaz, Ceyda Sel; Genç, Meltem; Turan, Selma; Gündüz, MehmetTo evaluate the noise levels in the neonatal intensive care unit and discuss their suitability for neonatal hearing screening environment, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in nine neonatal intensive care units in Bursa during June 2015. Sound intensity level measurements were recorded each 10 seconds for 15 minutes, at 1 hour before, during and 1 hour after breastfeeding of neonates between 8 am and 5 pm. Recordings showed that the sound levels of all ICUs of nine hospitals are above 40 dB, the limits of National Noise Regulation Standards. Our study reveals that neonatal intensive care unit environment is not suitable for neonatal hearing screening test administration; with false positive results. This may cause adverse effects on family, the physicians and national economy. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Biomarkers in hodgkin’s lymphoma(CRC Press, 2014) Demir, Esin; Yılmaz, Burak; Gündüz, Mehmet; Gündüz, EsraLymphoma is a type of hematological cancer which occurs in the immune system, and specifically starts in lymphocytes. Lymphoma is basically of two types: Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). This chapter will specifically focus on Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL), whose subtypes are nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NLPHL) and classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL). The characteristic cell types involved in these subtypes are different from each other. Biomarkers are another critical factor in making the correct identification of each subtype. Biomarkers can be categorized into different groups such as origin-related, chromosomal, cytokine, chemokine, and some important pathways-related markers. These biomarkers are not only important to distinguish subtypes but also critical to determine further treatment strategies for disease. Due to the importance of biomarker knowledge, we have reviewed significant HL biomarkers in this chapter. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Breast cancer stem cells and cellomics(Springer India, 2014) Demir, Esin; Atar, Bilge; Dhawan, Dipali; Barh, Debmalya; Gündüz, Mehmet; Gündüz, EsraOmics technologies are powerful high-throughput analytic tools to get inside whole-system level alterations of cancer cells. Since cancer stem cells are groups of vital cells in heterogeneous tumor populations, their omics analysis will enable better understanding in most controversial issues. These issues are mostly treatment resistance and metastatic ability of tumors. The relation between breast cancer patients' survival rates and stem cells in breast tumor has revealed the significance of breast cancer stem cells. The high tumor-forming capacity of these stem cells makes it necessary to get more comprehensive insight about their biology. Genomics, proteomics, and epigenomics are helpful tools for this purpose. The general step of these high-throughput methods is the isolation of breast cancer stem cells based on specific markers. Another shared feature of these omics approaches is to use a large set of interested genes, transcripts, or proteins. In addition to these two common key features, the remaining experimental setups may change from one to another omics analysis. The outcome of these approaches can yield some signatures, which will be mostly critical for later therapeutic strategies. Taken altogether, omics approaches not only reveal comprehensive understanding about breast cancer stem cells but also open the doors to more effective targeted therapies. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Cancer biomarkers: Minimal and noninvasive early diagnosis and prognosis(CRC Press, 2014) Barh, Debmalya; Carpi, Angelo; Verma, Mukesh; Gündüz, MehmetGleaning information from more than 100 experts in the field of cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy worldwide, Cancer Biomarkers: Non-Invasive Early Diagnosis and Prognosis determines the significance of clinical validation approaches for several markers.

Methodology: Patients with total apnea-hypopnea index values <5/per hour sleep were included in the study. Patients completed the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and snoring visual analogue scale (VAS) before and 24 months after surgery, and a VAS for pain after the operation. Results: Twenty-four patients were in the mUP3 group with a mean age of 42.1 ± 11.8 years, and 26 in AP group with a mean age of 43.2 ± 10.4 years. Snoring VAS values were significantly decreased after surgery in both groups (p<0.025), but changes between operative groups were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Patients' ESS scores in both groups significantly decreased (p<0.025), but ESS score changes between groups were not significantly different (p>0.05). Two years postoperatively, patient satisfaction was 85% in the AP group, and 70% in the mUP3 group. Pain VAS values were significantly lower in the AP group than in the mUP3 group (p<0.001). Eight patients (33.3%) in the mUP3 group and one (7.7%) in the AP group reported nasal regurgitation of liquids upon swallowing during the first week postoperatively. Two years after the operation, 10 patients (41.6%) in the mUP3 group and 9 (34.6%) in AP group still had a lump sensation in the throat. Conclusions: We compared the efficacy of the mUP3 and AP techniques to treat patients with primary snoring and found less morbidity and more patient satisfaction in the AP group. © 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Examination of insert ear interaural attenuation (IA) values in audiological evaluations(The Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation, 2016) Gumus, Nebi Mustafa; Gumus, Merve; Unsal, Selim; Yüksel, Mustafa T.; Gündüz, MehmetPurpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate Interaural Attenuation (IA) in frequency base in the insert earphones that are used in audiological assessments. Methods: Thirty healthy subjects between 18-65 years of age (14 female and 16 male) participated in our study. Otoscopic examination was performed on all participants. Audiological evaluations were performed using the Interacoustics AC40 clinical audiometer and ER-3A insert earphones. IA value was calculated by subtracting good ear bone conduction hearing thresholds of the worst airway hearing threshold. Results: In our measuring for 0.125-8.0 kHz frequency were performed in our audiometry device separately for each frequency. IA amount in the results we found in 1000 Hz and below frequencies about 75-110 dB range avarage is 89±5dB, in above 1000 Hz frequencies in 50-95 dB range and avarage it is changed to 69±5dB. Conclusion: According to the obtained findings the quantity of melting in the transition between the ears are increasing with the insert earphones. The insert earphone should be beside supraaural earphone that is routinely used in clinics. Difficult masking applications due to the increase in the value of IA can be easily done with insert earphones. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Examination Of Insert Ear Interaural Attenuation (Ia)Values In Audiological Evaluations(The Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation, 2016) Gumus, Nebi Mustafa; Gumus, Merve; Unsal, Selim; Yüksel, Mustafa T.; Gündüz, MehmetPurpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate Interaural Attenuation (IA) in frequency base in the insert earphones that are used in audiological assessments.

It is known now that many rhinologic diseases have a strong genetic background. Some formidable challenges still remain for these diseases. However, research in the field of genetics has made much progress over the last decade and is expected to advance even further in the near future, as increasingly powerful analytical tools are being developed to unlock the complexities of genetic diseases. Information on the genetics of allergic diseases is important not only for analyzing the molecular basis of these diseases but also for investigating new drugs. Today, there is a huge effort to understand the molecular basis of disease and to find new therapies. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Genetic Basis of Metastasis(Springer Science+Business Media, 2019) Moroski-Erkul, Catherine A.; Demir, Esin; Gündüz, Esra; Gündüz, MehmetThe variation between and among the many types of cancer presents a formidable challenge both to practicing clinicians and medical researchers. There are several characteristics that are common to all cancers such as unrestrained proliferation and evasion of cell death. Another common feature is that of metastasis. Metastasis is “initiated” when primary tumor cells acquire the ability to invade surrounding tissues and eventually develop secondary tumors in distant locations. This process appears to rely not only on changes at the genetic level of tumor cells themselves but also from their interaction with surrounding stromal cells and the immune system. The genetic and molecular changes that give rise to metastatic change are of special interest due to the significant decline in a patient’s prognosis after metastasis has occured. A host of genes and pathways involved in several pathways have been implicated in this process, several of which will be reviewed in detail. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Investigation Of The Expression Of Rif1 Gene On Head And Neck, Pancreatic And Brain Cancer And Cancer Stem Cells(The Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation, 2016) Cila, Hacer E.Gurses; Acar, Muradiye; Barut, Furkan B.; Gündüz, Mehmet; Grènman, Reidar A.; Gündüz, EsraAbstract Purpose: Recent studies have shown that cancer stem cells are resistant to chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to compare RIF1 gene expression in head and neck, pancreatic cancer and glioma cell lines and the cancer stem cells isolated from these cell lines. Methods: UT-SCC-74 from Turku University and UT-SCC-74B primary tumor metastasis and neck cancer cell lines, YKG-1 glioma cancer cell line from RIKEN, pancreatic cancer cell lines and ASPC-1 cells from ATCC were grown in cell culture. To isolate cancer stem cells, ALDH-1 for UT-SCC-74 and UT-SCC-74B cell line, CD-133 for YKG-1 cell line and CD-24 for ASPC-1 cell line, were used as markers of cancer stem cells. RNA isolation was performed for both cancer lines and cancer stem cells. RNAs were converted to cDNA. RIF1 gene expression was performed by qRT-PCR analysis. RIF1 gene expression was compared with cancer cell lines and cancer stem cells isolated from these cell lines. The possible effect of RIF1 gene was evaluated. Results: In the pancreatic cells, RIF1 gene expression in the stem cell-positive cell line was 256 time that seen in the stem cell-negative cell line. Conclusion: Considering the importance of RIF1 in NHEJ and of NHEJ in pancreatic cancer, RIF1 may be one of the genes that plays an important role in the diagnoses and therapeutic treatment of pancreatic cancer. The results of head and neck and brain cancers are inconclusive and further studies are required to elucidate the connection between RIF1 gene and these other types of cancers © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Omics of hereditary breast cancer(Springer India, 2014) Moroski-Erkul, Catherine A.; Yılmaz, Burak; Gündüz, Esra; Gündüz, MehmetBreast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Although advances in our understanding of this disease have been made in the last decade, the available treatments remain inadequate, particularly for the more intractable forms of breast cancer. Hereditary or familial breast cancer poses a particularly difficult challenge as only a few susceptibility genes with high penetrance have been identified, namely, BRCA1 and BRCA2. It is now suspected that the majority of hereditary and familial breast cancers are caused by various combinations of several moderate- and/or low-penetrance genes. Recent developments in research methodologies and conceptual frameworks within biology have revolutionized the study of cancer. This systems approach, which emphasizes a holistic understanding of biological systems, is referred to generally as omics. A decade of omics research has led to the identification of many new therapeutic targets and biomarkers, allowing for more accurate and earlier diagnosis and treatment of the wide spectrum of diseases that are collectively referred to as breast cancer. Here we review the contributions of several omics fields to our understanding of hereditary and familial breast cancer, namely, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Omics of male breast cancer(Springer India, 2014) Ünal, Zahide Nur; Kaya, Gülhan; Barh, Debmalya; Gündüz, Esra; Gündüz, MehmetMale breast cancer (MBC) is rarely diagnosed. However, it has relatively poor prognosis when compared to female breast cancer. Although the importance of genetic predisposition in MBC etiology has been considerably understood, a wide range of gene and protein alterations playing various roles in MBC carcinogenesis point at its polygenic nature rather than single gene inheritance. Therefore, more comprehensive approaches including omics study and related technologies are required to thoroughly manage this malignancy, though such studies have been scarcely performed in MBC. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes as a biomarker in breast cancer(Springer India, 2014) Üçtepe, Eyyüp; Acar, Muradiye; Gündüz, Esra; Gündüz, MehmetBreast cancer is the most common cause of cancer in women in the United States and the Western world. The important question is what can be done to limit the human suffering associated with cancer and to reduce the burden on society? One solution is early detection. Early diagnosis of breast cancer before symptoms emerge is the most effective prevention of breast cancer. Currently, mammography is the gold standard for breast cancer screening. The procedure is suggested and often reimbursed for women between the ages of 50 and 75. Yet it is presumed that between 15 and 25 % of women with early-stage breast cancers are presently missed by commonly used diagnostic procedures such as mammography. Since breast cancer is also diagnosed in an increasing number of younger women, the screening strategy should be modified. Hence, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes could be used as biomarkers for early detection of breast cancer. Eventually, researchers aim to use the molecular data collected from an individual tumor for prognostication and personalized therapy for each patient. Genetic profiles of tumors are now providing information about clinical outcome, and some prognostic and predictive indicators have appeared based on this research. In the near future, prospective tissue collection for molecular analysis may become routine in order to classify patients for alternative treatment options and to optimize treatment strategies based on molecular structure of the cancer. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Pharmaco-epigenomics(Springer India, 2013) Gündüz, Mehmet; Acar, Muradiye; Erdogan, Kubra; Cetin, Elif Nihan; Gündüz, EsraEpigenetic modifications are defined as the study of heritable changes in phenotype that do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence. DNA methylation, posttranslational modifi cations of the histone proteins, and miRNAs are regulating the expression of genes as well as drug- metabolizing genes. Epigenetic regulation is essential for normal developmental and cellular processes. Conversely, abnormal epigenetic regulation is a character of complex diseases, including cancer, hematological malignancies, psychiatric disorders, and other diseases. Pharmaco-epigenomics is a novel discipline and involves the study of epigenetic factors in the interpersonal variation to drugs. Epigenetic biomarkers can be used to diagnose disease, estimate disease progression, or predict interpersonal variations in response to therapy. Unlike genetic alterations, changes in epigenetic machinery are reversible, and this reversible characteristic makes them an attractive therapeutic targets. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Pharmacogenomics in acute myeloid leukemia(Springer India, 2013) Hatipoğlu, Ömer Faruk; Bender, Onur; Gündüz, Esra; Gündüz, MehmetAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells. In AML, the bone marrow makes many immature cells called blasts, which do not mature and cannot fi ght infections. AML is a heterogeneous neoplasm with several pathological, genetic, and molecular subtypes. Combinations of various doses and schedules of drugs have been the majority of treatment for all types of AMLs in adult patients. However, not all patients have the same response to these treatments, some of which are adverse responses that are potentially life threatening. Because interindividual responses to AML medications can vary considerably, the potential for genetic contributions to variable drug responses is signifi cant. The pharmacogenomics approach tries to fi nd prognostic and predictive biomarkers permitting to identify patients who could benefi t from a particular treatment or those exhibiting higher risks of toxicity. Pharmacogenomics is a rapidly improving science with the potential to revolutionize drug discovery/development and offers one possibility for rationalizing therapy/dose selection. It combines many different fi elds such as genetics, genomics, molecular biology, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, and population biology. This chapter focuses on treatment of AML, genetic and clinical prognostic markers, and recent advances in the fi eld of pharmacogenomics in AML. © 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Precision medicine in oncology: An overview(CRC Press, 2018) Yilmaz, Fazilet G.; Yilmaz, Sultan Ciftci; Gündüz, Esra; Gündüz, Mehmet[No abstract available]Öğe Precision medicine in osteoporosis and bone diseases(CRC Press, 2018) Kazancı, Fatmanur Hacıevliyagil; Kazanci, Fatih; YiğItoğlu, Muhammet Ramazan; Gündüz, Mehmet[No abstract available]Öğe Water-Yield Relationships of Maize under Drip Irrigation: The Menemen (İzmir) Case Study(Malatya Turgut Özal Üniversitesi, 2025) Akap, Perihan Tarı; Yüzbaşı, Şuayip; Gündüz, MehmetThis study was conducted in the Menemen Plain during the years 2009–2010 to determine the water-yield relationship of maize. A drip irrigation system was employed, and irrigations were scheduled at 7-day intervals based on evaporation measured from a Class A evaporation pan. In the drip irrigation setup, laterals were arranged either one per crop row or one per two rows. Irrigation treatments were based on applying 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of the cumulative 7-day evaporation as irrigation water, in addition to a non-irrigated (rainfed) control treatment. Although higher grain yields were obtained from the treatment with one lateral per row, statistical analysis indicated that the number of laterals had no significant effect on yield. The effect of irrigation water amount on maize grain yield was significant at the 0.01 probability level in both years. The highest yields were obtained from the treatment where one lateral was placed per row and 100% of the 7-day cumulative evaporation was applied as irrigation water. The average maize grain yields from this treatment were 1,223 kg/da in 2009 and 1,125 kg/da in 2010, with irrigation water applied amounting to 371 mm and 313 mm, and crop water consumption calculated as 482 mm and 475 mm, respectively.
