Blood transfusion, which is one of the most frequently performed procedures in clinics, is a life-saving treatment method, but it also contains many side effects and complications. Especially erythrocyte concentrate, thrombocyte concentrate and fresh frozen plasma are the most preferred blood components. In addition to its known benefits, it should not be forgotten that blood transfusions can cause side effects and cause undesirable clinical pictures. Correct indication is very important in transfusion decisions. In addition, patient-specific factors (age, diagnosis, comorbidity), laboratory findings (Hemoglobin value, platelet count, coagulation tests), presence of coagulopathy and known physiological factors (oxygen requirement and hemodynamic status) should also be taken into account when making this decision. Indications for use of blood for transfusion started to change with the patient blood management project. It is not possible to completely avoid transfusion with patient blood management (PBM) applications, but the current consumption can be greatly reduced and costs can be reduced side effects can be prevented

Objective: Forensic microbiology is the developing field of forensic science. Forensic microbiologist can use trace evidence to match people to crime scenes, to investigate bioterrorism incidents, and to determine cause and time of death. In recent years, important studies on the environmental microbiota have been carried out. These studies can be associated with many legally valuable data as well as being related to the microbiota of environmental events. Actinobacteria are gram-positive micelle bacteria with enormous diversity, common in soil, and have high economic value. So far 47 families and 711 species of Actinobacteria were isolated and identified in variety of habitats. Increasing forensic studies in recent years show that microbial profiles can be used as evidence. Methods: In this study, actinobacteria were isolated from forest soil samples exposed to eight different blood groups for two weeks and control group.

Objective: Vitamin D is a steroid hormone, about 80-90% of which is produced by the skin. On the other hand, its deficiency is very common and its treatment is of great importance due to its multisystem effects. In addition to factors affecting vitamin D levels such as skin color, sunscreen used, geographical location, and obesity, there are also studies related to the effect of skin thickness. It was aimed to determine the effect of skin thickness and subcutaneous adipose tissue measurements on vitamin D results in the areas where there is the most contact with the sunlight in our body, in the study. Methods: A total of 116 (71 female, 45 male) volunteers were included in the study. The results of vitamin D in the last month, demographic data, height, and weight were recorded. Skin thickness and subcutaneous adipose tissue measurements performed by ultrasound were recorded from the forehead, cheek, hand dorsum, umbilicus, and trochanter major regions. Results: The exposure time to the sun (r=0.637, p<0.001), the statistically significant difference between the results of the trochanter major subcutaneous adipose tissue (r=0.347, p<0.001) and subcutaneous adipose

Objective: Monitoring and comparing regional service performance is inevitable to use resources effectively and allocate resources without creating interregional inequalities. With the Health Transformation Program, there has been an increase in the amount and quality of the service provided throughout the country. In addition, there has been a decrease in the inequalities between regions due to its implementation. In order to ensure continuity in health service delivery, health service activities in provinces and regions should be followed regularly, and their performance should be evaluated. Methods: The study calculated Data Envelopment Analysis efficiencies and Cross-efficiency for 26 subregions in the NUTS-II classification in Turkey. The number of hospital beds and primary care units were the inputs of the research; the number of primary, secondary and tertiary care visits and the number of inpatients are also the output of the study. Subregions are reordered and grouped according to their cross-efficiency. Decision-making units with unusual production structures were investigated by calculating Maverick Index scores.

Objective: Chemicals called as insecticides are frequently used in agricultural control and cause toxic effects on non-target organisms, especially mammals. Exposure to insecticides may induce hematoxicity. This research is appertaining to the possible property of ferulic acid, utilized as nutritional supplement, to mitigate oxidative stress process caused via dimethoate. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into six groups, randomly (six animal each). Animals were treated orally via gavage with ferulic acid (30 mg/kg body weight, everyday for 28 days) prior to treatment of low or high doses of dimethoate (3 mg/kg body weight, everyday for 28 days 1/100 LD50 and 30 mg/ kg body weight, everyday for 4 weeks 1/10 LD50, respectively). Results: Exposuring rats to dimethoate for 4 weeks contributed oxidative stress process with a rise in malondialdehyde levels of rats’ erythrocytes. Also, treatment of dimethoate induced alterations in antioxidant defence system of erythrocytes replaced these chemicals in agricultural control. The present findings indicate that ferulic acid may amelierate dimethoate-caused oxidative stress process and DNA damage by altering antioxidant defense system and decreasing lipid peroxidation
