Publication Investigation of infectious droplet dispersion in a hospital examination room cooled by split-type air conditioner(Springer, 2024-05-08) Yüce, Bahadir Erman; Kalay, Onur Can; Karpat, Fatih; Alemdar, Adem; Temel, Şehime Gülsün; Dilektaşlı, Aslı Görek; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; Özakın, Cüneyt; Coşkun, Burhan; YÜCE, BAHADIR ERMAN; Kalay, Onur Can; KARPAT, FATİH; ALEMDAR, ADEM; TEMEL, ŞEHİME GÜLSÜN; GÖREK DİLEKTAŞLI, ASLI; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; ÖZAKIN, CÜNEYT; COŞKUN, BURHAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Yenişehir İbrahim Orhan Meslek Yüksekokulu/İklimlendirme ve Soğutma Teknolojisi Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Tıbbi Genetik Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Histoloji ve Embriyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Göğüs Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları ve Mikrobiyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak has spread worldwide, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global pandemic in March 2020. The transmission mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 in indoor environments has begun to be investigated in all aspects. In this regard, many numerical studies on social distancing and the protection of surgical masks against infection risk have neglected the evaporation of the particles. Meanwhile, a 1.83 m (6 feet) social distancing rule has been recommended to reduce the infection risk. However, it should be noted that most of the studies were conducted in static air conditions. Air movement in indoor environments is chaotic, and it is not easy to track all droplets in a ventilated room experimentally. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables the tracking of all particles in a ventilated environment. This study numerically investigated the airborne transmission of infectious droplets in a hospital examination room cooled by a split-type air conditioner with the CFD method. Different inlet velocities (1, 2, 3 m/s) were considered and investigated separately. Besides, the hospital examination room is a model of one of the Bursa Uludag University Hospital examination rooms. The patient, doctor, and some furniture are modeled in the room. Particle diameters considered ranged from 2 to 2000 mu m. The evaporation of the droplets is not neglected, and the predictions of particle tracks are shown. As a result, locations with a high infection risk were identified, and the findings that could guide the design/redesign of the hospital examination rooms were evaluated.Publication Predictors of drug survival of biologic therapies in psoriasis patients (vol 45, pg 813, 2020)(Taylor & Francis, 2020-08-31) Zorlu, Özge; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Yazıcı, Serkan; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; Sığırlı, Deniz; SIĞIRLI, DENİZ; Budak, Ferah; BUDAK, FERAH; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; Aydoğan, Kenan; AYDOĞAN, KENAN; Cevhertas, Laçin; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/İmmünoloji Anabilim; 0000-0001-5555-130X; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0001-7625-9148; 0000-0002-0193-1128; 0000-0003-2287-3569; AAH-1388-2021; AAH-6216-2021; AAA-7472-2021; F-4657-2014; IZP-9398-2023; AAH-2459-2021Publication Instruments for screening psoriatic arthritis among patients with psoriasis: A systematic literature review(Bmj Publishing Group, 2021-06-01) Can, G.; Ayan, G.; Ozdede, A.; Bektas, M.; Akdogan, N.; Yalici-Armagan, B.; Solak, E.

Objective The aims of the study were to describe the most common contact allergens identified with patch testing in Turkey and to establish the distribution of contact allergens among different regions in Turkey. Patients and Methods Twelve centers consisting of tertiary health care institutions were included in the study. A total of 1169 patients were patch tested with the EBS from 2015 to 2017. Results A total of 596 patients (51.0%) had 1 or more positive patch test reactions to the EBS. A total of 30.2% (n = 353) of those tested had clinical relevance. Contact sensitivity was more common in young patients. The most common 10 allergens were nickel sulfate (20.4%), followed by textile dye mix (8.6%), cobalt chloride (8.3%), potassium dichromate (8.0%), p-phenylenediamine base (4.5%), balsam of Peru (4.3%), methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (3.8%), thiuram mix (3.6%), fragrance mix I (3.0%), and methylisothiazolinone (2.9%). Conclusions This study provides a comprehensive profile of patch test results with the EBS in Turkey. An ongoing decrease in contact allergy to methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone was observed. Textile dye mix and p-phenylenediamine are beginning to pose a new risk in Turkey.Publication Clinical characteristics, quality of life and risk factors for severity in palmoplantar pustulosis: A cross-sectional, multicentre study of 263 patients(Oxfort Univ Press, 2022-01-01) Solak, S.

Data on PPP are scarce. Aim To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for disease severity in a large cohort of Turkish patients with PPP. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, multicentre study of patients with PPP recruited from 21 tertiary centres across Turkey. Results In total, 263 patients (165 women, 98 men) were evaluated. Most patients (75.6%) were former or current smokers. The mean Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index (PPPASI) was 8.70 +/- 8.06 and the mean Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score was 6.87 +/- 6.08, and these scores were significantly correlated (r = 0.52, P < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that current smoking was significantly associated with increased PPPASI (P = 0.03). Coexisting psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) was reported by 70 (26.6%) patients. Male sex prevalence, PPP onset incidence, disease duration, DLQI, and prevalence of nail involvement and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) were significantly increased among patients with PPP with PsV. Of the 263 patients, 18 (6.8%) had paradoxical PPP induced by biologic therapy, and these patients had significantly increased mean DLQI and prevalence of PsA (r = 0.03, P = 0.001). Conclusion Our data suggest that smoking is a risk factor for both PPP development and disease severity. Patients with PPP with PsV present distinct clinical features and patients with biologic therapy-induced paradoxical PPP have reduced quality of life and are more likely to have PsA.Publication Assessment of disease activity and quality of life in patients with recurrent bradykinin-mediated versus mast cell-mediated angioedema(Elsevier, 2021-05-21) Can, Pelin Kuteyla; Değirmentepe, Ece Nur; Etikan, Pırıl; Kızıltaç, Kübra; Gelincik, Aslı; Demir, Semra; Büyüköztürk, Suna; Haşal, Eda; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; Aydın, Ömur; Maurer, Marcus; Weller, Karsten; Kocatürk, Emek; Haşal, Eda; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6310-5107; FZP-3964-2022 ; CEB-8268-2022Objective: Recurrent Angioedema (RAE) is characterized by sudden swelling of mucosal surfaces or deep dermis and is either mast cell-(MMAE) or bradykinin-mediated (BMAE). How patients with BMAE and MMAE differ in terms of disease activity and impact remains largely unknown. Here, we determined validity, reliability, and sensitivity to change of Turkish versions of angioedema activity score (AAS) and quality of life questionnaire (AE-QoL) and used both instruments to investigate and compare patients with BMAE and MMAE. Methods: Turkish versions of AAS28 and AE-QoL were applied to 94 patients with RAE (18-72 years). Patients' global self-assessment of QoL (PGA-QoL), disease activity (PGA-DA-VRS, PatGA-DA-VAS), and 12-Item-Short Form Survey were used at week 4 (visit 2), and week 8 (visit 3). De-mographic characteristics, clinical features, and AAS28 and AE-QoL values were compared be-tween 31 patients with BMAE and 63 patients with MMAE. Results: Turkish AAS28 and AE-QoL showed excellent internal consistency, high reproducibility and known-groups validity. Compared to patients with MMAE, BMAE patients were younger (34.6 +/- 10.7 vs. 40.7 +/- 13.3 years), had longer disease duration (236 +/- 178 vs. 51 +/- 78 months), high prevalence of family history (63% vs 14%), longer duration of attacks (65 +/- 20 vs. 40 +/- 25 h), and they were more commonly affected by upper airway angioedema (70% vs 23%). Disease activity (AAS28) was lower (29.3 +/- 24.6 vs 55.2 +/- 52.9), but AE-QoL was higher (44.2 +/- 16.1 vs 34.5 +/- 22.5) in BMAE patients as compared to MMAE patients. Conclusions: Patients with BMAE and MMAE have distinct disease characteristics. Recurrent bradykinin-mediated angioedema impacts quality of life more than mast cell-mediated angioe-dema. The discriminating characteristics of patients with BMAE and MMAE may help to improve the diagnosis and management of patients with RAE.Publication Evaluation of long-term efficacy, safety, and effect on life quality of pulsed dye laser in rosacea patients(Taylor & Francis, 2019-05-19) Başkan, Emel Bülbül; Belli, Aslı Akın; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-0144-3263; AAH-1388-2021Background: Rosacea is a chronic disease affecting the patients' life quality negatively. Although various laser systems are used in the rosacea treatment, studies reporting efficacy and long-term continuity of benefit of laser therapies are scarce. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, continuity of benefit, and effect on life quality of pulsed dye laser (PDL) in the rosacea patients. Methods: Fourteen rosacea patients treated with PDL were enrolled in the study. The number of treatment sessions were varied from one to four. The efficacy was evaluated by the physicians' clinical assessment (PCA), patients' self-assessment (PSA), and erythema and telengiectasia grading scores. Additionally, the patients were asked about the continuity of the benefit and improvement in their life qualities after the treatment. Results: Both the erythema and telangiectasia scores were significantly improved after the treatment (p < 0.001). According to PCA, nine patients had a clinical improvement of >50%. According to PSA, 11 patients had good/excellent improvement. Moderate/significant benefit of treatment continued in 12 patients at the follow-up period (mean 21.64 +/- 14.25 months). The life quality scores were significantly improved. No serious side effects were observed. Conclusion: PDL has high and long-term efficacy in the treatment of rosacea with a good safety profile.Publication Clinical and demographical characteristics of familial Behcet's disease (southeast Marmara region)(Karger, 2019-01-01) Kalın, Zübeyde Ceylan; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; Yazıcı, Serkan; Aydoğan, Kenan; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; AYDOĞAN, KENAN; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0002-0193-1128; AAH-2459-2021; AAH-6216-2021; AAH-1388-2021; DQE-8993-2022Background: Familial aggregation in Behcet's disease (BD) has been reported in Turkish and Japanese populations. While the frequency of familial cases has been reported to be 2-5% worldwide, this rate reaches up to 15% in the Middle East. Objective: This study aimed to determine the incidence of familial BD cases followed in the BD polyclinic and to compare their clinical and demographic characteristics to those observed in sporadic cases. Methods: Data related to BD patients who were followed between 1995 and 2014 were collected from computerized archive records and were assessed for detailed family histories. Only first-degree relatives (brother, sister, mother, father, children) were considered to be cases of familial BD. Clinical and demographic features were retrieved. Our BD polyclinic is located in the Southeast Marmara Region in Turkey. Results: BD was detected in 36 first-degree relatives of 33 patients out of 840 patients with BD. A total of 45 patients were diagnosed as familial BD; 23 were female, and 22 were male. In our patients, the incidence of familial BD was determined to be 3.9%. The rates for HLA-B5 positivity, ocular involvement, genital ulcers, and erythema nodosum were determined to be 86.6% (26/30), 26.6%, 82.2%, and 60%, respectively. None of the patients had neurological involvement, but 2 had vascular involvement. Conclusion: This study may contribute to the epidemiological data of BD from Turkey. (C) 2019 S. Karger AG, BaselPublication Flow cytometric analysis of T, B, and NK cells antigens in patients with mycosis fungoides(Hindawi, 2015-11-24) Yazıcı, Serkan; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; Budak, Ferah; Oral, Barbaros; Adım, Şaduman Balaban; Kalın, Zübeyde Ceylan; Özkaya, Güven; Aydoğan, Kenan; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; Tunalı, Şükran; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; BUDAK, FERAH; ORAL, HALUK BARBAROS; BALABAN ADIM, ŞADUMAN; Kalın, Zübeyde Ceylan; ÖZKAYA, GÜVEN; AYDOĞAN, KENAN; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; Tunalı, Şükran; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/İmmünoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0001-7625-9148; 0000-0003-0463-6818; 0000-0003-0297-846X; 0000-0002-0193-1128; IZP-9398-2023; AAH-2459-2021; AAH-1388-2021; A-4421-2016; F-4657-2014; AAH-6216-2021; K-7285-2012; EMN-0789-2022; CWV-8710-2022; DPU-8534-2022; GGH-7385-2022We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological correlation and prognostic value of cell surface antigens expressed by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with mycosis fungoides (MF). 121 consecutive MF patients were included in this study. All patients had peripheral blood flow cytometry as part of their first visit. TNMB and histopathological staging of the cases were retrospectively performed in accordance with International Society forCutaneous Lymphomas/European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (ISCL/EORTC) criteria at the time of flow cytometry sampling. To determine prognostic value of cell surface antigens, cases were divided into two groups as stable and progressive disease. 17 flow cytometric analyses of 17 parapsoriasis (PP) and 11 analyses of 11 benign erythrodermic patients were included as control groups. Fluorescent labeled monoclonal antibodies were used to detect cell surface antigens: T cells (CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(+), TCR alpha beta(+), TCR gamma delta(+), CD7(+), CD4(+) CD7(+), CD4(+) CD7(-), and CD71(+)), B cells (HLA-DR+, CD19(+), and HLA-DR(+)CD19(+)), NKT cells (CD3(+)CD16(+)CD56(+)), and NK cells (CD3(-)CD16(+)CD56(+)). The mean value of all cell surface antigens was not statistically significant between parapsoriasis and MF groups. Along with an increase in cases of MF stage statistically significant difference was found between the mean values of cell surface antigens. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood cell surface antigens in patients with mycosis fungoides may contribute to predicting disease stage and progression.Publication Biosimilars(Galenos Yayıncılık, 2022-01-01) Başkan, Emel Bülbül; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim DalıFor a drug to be defined as a biosimilar, it should be fairly similar to the previously approved original or reference product. The minor variances in its inactive ingredients should not pose clinically significant differences from the reference product in terms of safety and efficacy potency. Biosimilars of infliximab and adalimumab have received reimbursements in our country. By lowering treatment costs, biosimilars may provide considerable economies for health systems that reimburse healthcare expenditures.
