    Cerebral hydatid disease: CT and MR imaging findings
    (SMW supporting association, 2004) Bükte Y.; Kemanoğlu S.; Nazaroğlu H.; Özkan Ü.; Ceviz A.; Şimşek M.
    Objective: Cerebral hydatid disease is very rare, representing only 2% of all cerebral space occupying lesions even in the countries where the disease is endemic. The aim of this paper is to describe the characteristic features of cerebral hydatid disease in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods. We retrospectively reviewed the CT and MR imaging findings of 18 patients with pathologically confirmed cerebral hydatid disease over a period of 13 years (1990-2002). Results: The study group consisted of 17 cases of Echinococcus granulosus and 1 case of Echinococcus multilocularis (alveolaris). They were 12 male (66.7%), and 6 female patients (33.3%), ages ranging from 7 to 50 years with an average age of 20.3 predominant symptoms. Papilloedema was present in 14 patients (77.7%). Common CT and MR imaging findings of E. granulosus lesions were well-defined, smooth thin-walled, spherical, homogeneous cystic lesions with no contrast enhancement, no calcification, and no surrounding oedema. The lesion seen with E. multilocularis was a well-defined multiseptated mass consisting of solid and cystic components with calcification in the solid portion. Cystic lesions with surrounding hyperintensity of perifocal oedema with complete or incomplete rim enhancement were seen in two patients, and were labeled as complicated and infected cysts. Conclusion: Although cystic cerebral hydatid disease is well demonstrated hy CT and MR examinations, CT is superior in detecting calcification in the cyst, when present, MR is better in demonstrating cyst capsule, detecting multiplicity and defining the anatomic relationship of the lesion with the adjacent structures, and it is more helpful in surgical planning.

    Local almond (Prunus amygdalus l.) selections in turkey
    (Centenary University, 2016) Ersin G.; Yakup Erdal E.; Şimşek M.
    Almond (Prunus amygdalus L.) is one of the most investigated fruit species in selection studies in Turkey. The richness of our country on genetic variation of almond have provided facility for achievement in breeding studies in a short period of time. Because almond is cultivated in many regions of Turkey, it is very important to develop varieties suitable to a certain area. Therefore, several superior almond genotypes such as Dokuzoğuz-II (120-1) and Gülcan I (101-23) were obtained during the selection studies performed in different areas of our country and were registered as cultivars. This review was aimed to compare significant properties of some almond genotypes selected in different regions of our country and to use them in the future studies. © 2016, Centenary University.

    Partial chemical matricectomy with phenol in the treatment of ingrowing toenail
    (2000) Akdeniz S.; Harman M.; Şimşek M.; Türkmen H.
    Background and design: Management of ingrowing toenail with chemical matricectomy technique has been suggested that it is surgically simple to perform and have a very high success rate. The effectiveness of the matricectomy with phenol in the treatment of ingrowing toenail was investigated in patients who were non-responder to conservative treatments. Materials and methods: The technique of chemical cauterization with phenol was performed in 36 patients who had 41 ingrowing toenails. Results: Healing occured within 2-4 weeks after treatment and there was no infection in any patient. Operated patients were followed-up for nine months; in one of them spicule formation was observed. Conclusion: Partial matrix destruction with phenol in the treatment of ingrowing toenail has been found an effective treatment procedure in conclusion.
