Advanced drug delivery reviews, Volume 184, 16 3 2022, Pages 114184 Pharmaceutical applications of a nanospectroscopic technique: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Yilmaz H, Yilmaz D, Taskin IC, Culha M
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a very sensitive technique offering unique opportunities for detection and identification of molecules and molecular structures at extremely low concentrations even in complex sample matrixes. Since a nanostructured noble metal surface is required for the enhancement of Raman scattering, the acquired spectral information naturally originates from nanometer size domains making it a nanospectroscopic technique by breaking the diffraction limit of light...

Acta clinica Croatica, Volume 60, Issue 3, 1 1 2022, Pages 361-366 SYNTHETIC CANNABINOID BONZAI RELATED CREATINE KINASE ENZYME ELEVATION: A TURKISH CENTER STUDY. Erismis B, Yilmaz D, Polat O, Deniz H, Yucel MH, Hursitoglu M
Synthetic cannabinoid (locally named 'Bonzai' in Turkey) use is increasing worldwide (especially among people with low income). One of its harmful adverse effects is an increase in serum levels of muscle enzymes (i.e., creatine kinase [CK]). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Bonzai use in patients admitted with elevated CK levels and to compare the 1-month survival status of Bonzai users with that of non-Bonzai users. This retrospective study was conducted on a t... Abstract

Scientific reports, Volume 12, Issue 1, 31 5 2022, Pages 1628 Chemotherapy response prediction with diffuser elapser network. Koyuncu B, Melek A, Yilmaz D, Tuzer M, Unlu MB
In solid tumors, elevated fluid pressure and inadequate blood perfusion resulting from unbalanced angiogenesis are the prominent reasons for the ineffective drug delivery inside tumors. To normalize the heterogeneous and tortuous tumor vessel structure, antiangiogenic treatment is an effective approach. Additionally, the combined therapy of antiangiogenic agents and chemotherapy drugs has shown promising effects on enhanced drug delivery. However, the need to find the appropriate scheduling and...

Nature, Volume 600, Issue 7890, 1 1 2021, Pages 748-753 Activation of homologous recombination in G1 preserves centromeric integrity. Yilmaz D, Furst A, Meaburn K, Lezaja A, Wen Y, Altmeyer M, Reina-San-Martin B, Soutoglou E
Centromeric integrity is key for proper chromosome segregation during cell division1. Centromeres have unique chromatin features that are essential for centromere maintenance2. Although they are intrinsically fragile and represent hotspots for chromosomal rearrangements3, little is known about how centromere integrity in response to DNA damage is preserved. DNA repair by homologous recombination requires the presence of the sister chromatid and is suppressed in the G1 phase of the cell cycle4. H... Abstract

ACS omega, Volume 6, Issue 25, 16 3 2021, Pages 16649-16660 Comparative Study: Impacts of Ca and Mg Salts on Iron Oxygen Carriers in Chemical Looping Combustion of Biomass. Yilmaz D, Steenari BM, Leion H
Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is one of the most promising methods for carbon capture and storage (CCS). An oxygen carrier, i.e., a mineral that can be oxidized and reduced, is used to convert the fuel in the process. The produced CO2 is inherently separated from the air components that enables easier CCS. The use of biomass-based fuels is desirable since it can lead to negative CO2 emissions. On the other hand, alkali compounds from the biomass may interact with the oxygen carrier causing p... Abstract

Abstract: Acquired coagulopathy is a rare but challenging diagnosis for pediatric emergency physicians. Although the coagulopathy usually presents with mild skin and mucosal hemorrhages, it also can lead to life-threatening events. Thus, accurate interpretation of hints obtained from a detailed history, physical examination, and laboratory findings is essential for the prompt diagnosis and management. This case demonstrates an uncommon cause of coagulopathy; celiac disease that presented with sp... Abstract
