Southeast Anatolia Region, where Turkey's summer-winter differences were experienced as a region, was preferred in this study. Daily precipitation and daily temperature data for the 1950-2019 period provided analysis. However, due to deficiencies, Adiyaman, Batman Kilis stations worked 1959-2019 Sirnak station 2000-2019 period. All have been tested homogeneity.According parameters used study, c...

A range of hydrologic responses can be observed in steep, recently burned terrain, which makes predicting the spatial distribution large debris flows challenging. Studies from rainfall-induced landslides unburned areas show evidence hydroclimatic tuning landslide triggering, such that events is best predicted by rainfall anomaly relative to climatic norms rather than absolute rainfall. In this ...

Radioactive iodine (RAI) is considered to be related with hematologic changes. This study aimed to evaluate influence of the first RAI ablation on peripheral complete blood count (CBC) in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).Data of CBC at baseline and 6 months after RAI were obtained in 385 patients with DTC with approximately 3700 MBq I (ranging 2220-7585 MBq). Further comparison...

Hydrological extremes are common throughout the world and can be considered a globally significant phenomenon with severe environmental social consequences. In recent decades, especially in second half of 20th century, Extreme Events (EHEs) have attracted extensive attention. Physiological anthropogenic factors increased frequency severity hydrological worldwide last few decades. Recently, it h...

Longitudinal data on episodes of receptive anal intercourse (RAI), lubricant, and enema use in 41 sexually active men who have sex with men were collected using a prospective sex diary. Data on 550 episodes of RAI showed that lubricants were used in 489 (88.9%) of 550 episodes and enemas were used in 165 (30%) of 550 RAI episodes.

OBJECTIVE In order to effectively treat differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) with radioiodine (RAI) it is necessary to raise serum TSH levels either endogenously by thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) or exogenously by administration of recombinant human TSH (rhTSH). The goal of this review is to present current data on the relative efficacy and side effects profile of rhTSH-aided versus THW-aided ...

BACKGROUND Radioiodine (RAI) lobe ablation in lieu of completion thyroidectomy is not recommended. This study describes RAI use patterns and outcomes in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) after thyroid lobectomy (TL). STUDY DESIGN A total of 170,330 patients diagnosed with DTC between 1998 and 2011 were identified using the National Cancer Database. Demographic, tumor, and...

BACKGROUND This study assessed the validity of the Resident Assessment Instrument Minimum Data Set (RAI-MDS) Version 2.0 for diagnoses of diabetes and comorbid conditions in residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs). METHODS Hospital inpatient, outpatient physician billing, RAI-MDS, and population registry data for 1997 to 2011 from Saskatchewan, Canada were used to ascertain cases of di...

The risk of cancer is relatively higher in Graves' patients presenting simultaneously with thyroid nodules. Radioiodine (RAI) therapy recommended in high-risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma may be associated with worsening of a pre-existing Graves' orbitopathy (GO) or developing a new onset. The impact of RAI therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer on the course of a pre-exisit...

BACKGROUND Patients with early stage papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), are faced with the decision to either to accept or reject adjuvant radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment after thryroidectomy. This decision is often difficult because of conflicting reports of RAI treatment benefit and medical evidence uncertainty due to the lack of long-term randomized controlled trials. METHODS We report ...
