Tissue damage or disruption of tissue continuity is called as wound. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial strain that can cause infection on the wounds, and especially control of the infections plays an important role in the wound healing process. Wound dressings are an alternative method that can be used to shorten wound healing time. At the same time, bacterial infection is tried to be prevented in the wound area by adding antibacterial materials to the contents of the dressing materials. Light applications of certain wavelengths are another method that shows antibacterial effect used in wound infection treatment. In this study, wound dressings were produced by electrospinning method using chitosan (CHT) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) materials. Also, the synergistic antibacterial effects of wound dressings and 808 nm laser light were investigated on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It was observed that the wound dressings produced with TPU and CHT have antibacterial properties and the laser light at 808 nm of wavelength increases the antibacterial efficacy of the dressings. TPU and TPU-CHT wound dressings have a synergistic antibacterial effect when induced with 808 nm laser light. Thus, light induced nanofibers can be an efficient tool to improve the treatments of infected wounds.

Brain tumors threathen human health significantly. Misdiagnosis of these tumors decrease effectiveness of decisions for intervention and patient’s state of health. The conventional method to differentiate brain tumors is by the inspection of magnetic resonance images by clinicians. Since there are various types of brain tumors and there are many images that clinicians should examine, this method is both prone to human errors and causes excessive time consumption. In this study, the most common brain tumor types; Glioma, Meningioma and Pituitary are classified using deep learning models. While the main objective of this study is to have a high rate of accuracy, the time spent is also examined. The aim of this study is to ease clinicians work load and have a time efficient classification system. The system which has been built has an accuracy up to 90%.

In this study, discrimination of normal and schizophrenic EEG is aimed by using lineer features with different classifiers. Fort his purpose, 1 minutes of EEG records through 16 channels were recorded from 39 normal and 39 schizophrenia patients and minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation and median feautes were extracted from these records. k-neighbors, Multi-layer perceptron, support vector machines and Random forest classifier were applied to feature vectors extracted from each channel. Highest classification accuracy is reached to 99.95% in proposed work. While MLP seems to be best classifier, channel C4 is observed most relevant to discriminate schizophrenic EEG from healthy control group. As a result of independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U Test for the purpose of statistical analysis, there is a distinct statistical significance for whole channels.When considering proposed work, obtained results are so promising and make contributions to literatüre view according to related works.

Cell stiffness that can be measured accordingly elasticity modulus is an important biomechanical feature that plays a one-to-one role on the basic features of the cell, such as migration and proliferation, and this feature is significantly affected by the characteristic of the cytoskeleton. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are side-products formed as a result of the cell’s general metabolic activities. Cells have a very effective antioxidant defense to deactivate the toxic effect of ROS however, oxidative stress at abnormal levels significantly damages cellular balance. Many conditions such as inflammation, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases and aging are associated with oxidative stress. Besides, oxidative stress is one of the parameters that affect the biomechanical behavior of the cell, but the mechanism of this effect still remains a mystery. In this study, oxidative stress was mimicked on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial (HUVEC) cells by using H2 O2 and the effect of this situation on cell stiffness and morphological structure was investigated interferometrically for the first time. The changes that occurred in the cell stiffness were determined by calculating the elasticity modules of the cells. Cells were exposed to H2 O2 for 24 hours at 0.5 mM and 1 mM concentrations, and as a result, cell stiffness was shown to decrease due to increased H2 O2 concentration.

Stress is an important problem for people that causes health problems and economic losses. When it becomes chronic, it paves the way for many diseases. Studies in this area have made significant progress in measuring stress levels with the help of data from wearable devices and sensors. In this study, using supervised deep learning methods, we worked on the detection of pupil dilation, which is accepted as one of the stress indicators. In our experiment, two different films containing positive and funny scenes and negative and stressful scenes were shown to the participants. Meanwhile, the pupil diameter was measured continuously. After the obtained signals were cleared of noises, deep learning studies were carried out on them. With these experiments, the effect of different activation functions used in hidden layers along with the different number of hidden layers and neuron numbers on learning were examined. After the trials with Hyperbolic Tangent, ReLU and Swish activation functions, the highest accuracy for classifying the stress of the participants from their pupil responses was obtained with the Swish activation function with 90.79%.

COVID-19 is a highly infectious respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. It can lead to cough and fever and in some cases severe pneumonia. It is generally detected by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and computed tomography scans. However, as it is a lung disease, it has common symptoms with other respiratory diseases. This necessitates us to carefully differentiate COVID-19 from such diseases during the diagnosis. This work aims to do that with the help of several deep learning architectures and chest radiographs. It specifically focuses on differentiating COVID-19 from pneumonia, pleural effusion and lung mass. During this analysis, it is shown that we can differentiate COVID-19 from other respiratory diseases using various deep learning architectures. It is further shown that ResNet-18 architecture produces the best overall performance in three scenarios of experiments.

With the development of new generation communication systems, antenna technologies used in these areas and their effects on human health are also examined. In this study, a 4×4 MIMO antenna was designed for IEEE 802.11a applications through the finite element method (FEM) based electromagnetic simulation software. Also, its dosimetric effects on tissue were investigated. The proposed antenna includes four antennas operating at 5 GHz. It was designed on a 74 mm ×130 mm dielectric material with a frame height of 5 mm to meet the trend of current phones. The SAR distribution in the head and hand model caused by the antenna model were obtained as 1.4 W/kg and 0.7 W/kg for 1 gr average tissue, respectively.

Cancer is the one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and cancer incidence increases every year. The analysis of lesion margin is quite important to diagnose malignant and benign masses and to detect the presence and the stage of tumor invasion in case of cancer. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to visualize and quantify margin of lesions on radiological images by means of a digital computer. In this study, computed tomography (CT) images of liver have been employed for analysis because the liver has crucial tasks in our body and liver cancer-related deaths is ranked as the forth among the cancer-related deaths. The proposed method consisted of four main steps: image cropping and smoothing, specification of target lesion, the boundary detection of target lesion, and visualization and quantification of margin. First, the images were converted to gray scale. The blank regions surrounding the liver in the CT images were removed before specification of target lesion, and further were smoothed with a bilateral filter. Next, the target region was specified roughly by drawing it manually. The boundary of lesion was more precisely determined with the active contour method employing the sketched borderline as the initial curve. Next, the properties of the target region: the centroid, major axis length, and the orientation values were computed. The intensities along a line passing through the center of the tumor were obtained for eighteen different rotation angles. A pulse model was fit to each of the intensity signal corresponding to a rotation. Then, the intensity change, margin sharpness and width were acquired from the pulse approximation associated to each rotation angle. The level difference provided the intensity change, the slope of edges gave the margin sharpness, and distance between the start and end points of the pulse edge represented margin width. Besides, the inner (core) and outer diameter with respect to angle were also displayed.

Besides, the inner (core) and outer diameter with respect to angle were also displayed.","PeriodicalId":426945,"journal":{"name":"2020 Medical Technologies Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124487782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
