Scopus An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to predict of cadmium (Cd) concentrations in the filyos river, Turkey(2018-01-01) Sonmez A.; Kale S.; Ozdemir R.; Kadak A.Water quality is one of the main characteristics of a river system and prediction of water quality is the key factor in water resource management. Different physical, biological and chemical parameters including heavy metals can be used to assess river water quality. Evaluation of the water quality in the rivers is quite difficult and requires more time and effort because of the fact that many factors affect water quality. Traditional data processing methods are insufficient to solve this problem. Therefore, in this study, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model was developed to predict the concentrations of cadmium (Cd) in the Filyos River, Turkey. For this purpose, water samples collected at 7 sampling locations in the river during December 2014-2015 were used to develop ANFIS model. The available data set was apportioned into two separate sections for training and testing the ANFIS model. Developed models aimed to use the least parameters to estimate Cd concentration. As a result, a relatively higher correlation (R2=0.91) was found between observed and modelled Cd concentrations. The results indicated that the ANFIS model gave reasonable estimates for the concentrations of Cd with a high degree accuracy and robustness. In conclusion, this paper suggests that ANFIS methodology produce very successful findings and has the ability to predict Cd concentration in water resources. The outcomes of this research provide more information, simulation, and prediction about heavy metal concentration in natural aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, ANFIS can be used in further researches on water quality monitoring.Scopus Effects of tetra (Cotinus coggygria) and common mallow (Malva sylvestris) plant extracts on growth performance and immune response in Gilthead Sea bream (Sparus aurata) and European Sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)(2019-10-15) Bilen S.; Kenanoglu O.; Terzi E.; Ozdemir R.; Sonmez A.In this study, effects of tetra (T) (Cotinus coggygria) and common mallow (CM) (Malva sylvestris) aqueous methanolic extracts on growth performance and immune response in gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata (19.92 ± 0.40 g) and European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax (18.66 ± 0.86 g) were investigated. The experiment was designed as 5 treatment groups: control (0 mg/kg), 500 mg kg−1 (CM500, T500) and 1000 mg kg−1 (CM1000, T1000) for each fish species. Fish were fed the diet supplemented with tetra and common mallow extracts for 60 days and blood samples were collected on the 30th and 60th days of the study. Immunological parameters, such as respiratory burst, phagocytic, lysozyme, myeloperoxidase and bacterial killing activities were determined. At the end of feeding trial, fish were challenged with Vibrio anguillarum infection and survival rate was recorded. Final weight of the both experimental fishes were significantly increased in CM treatment groups compared to control (P <.05). No difference was observed in FCR values in sea bass (P >.05), whereas a decrease in FCR was noticed in CM treatment groups of sea bream (P <.05). Moreover, oxidative radical production was significantly increased in sea bass in all treatment groups at all sampling times. In sea bream, it increased in T500 and CM500 groups on 30th day, and only in CM groups on 60th day compared to control (P <.05). Phagocytic activity was significantly increased in sea bass received only tetra extract on the 30th day compared to control (P <.05) and in all treatment groups except T1000 on 60th day. In sea bream, phagocytic activity was enhanced in all treatment groups on 30th day and only in CM500 and T1000 groups on 60th day. Lysozyme activity was elevated in all treatment groups at all sampling times in sea bass, and in T500 and T1000 groups of sea bream. Myeloperoxidase activity increased in both the fish species at any sampling time compared to that of control (P <.05). Survival rate was significantly higher in treatment groups compared to control of both fish species. These results suggest that both tetra and common mallow could be used as immunostimulants for European sea bass and sea bream with an added advantage of common mallow as a growth promoter.Scopus Epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of neonates with late-onset COVID-19: 1-year data of Turkish Neonatal Society(2022-05-01) Akin I.M.; Kanburoglu M.K.; Tayman C.; Oncel M.Y.; Imdadoglu T.; Dilek M.; Yaman A.; Narter F.; Er I.; Kahveci H.; Erdeve O.; Koc E.; Yildiz E.; Melekoglu N.A.; Okulu E.; Toptan H.H.; Surmeli O.; Can E.; Yilmaz F.H.; Ozkan H.; Caner I.; Cömert S.; Uygun S.S.; Akbay S.; Memisoglu A.; Anik A.; Arcagok B.C.; Karagol B.S.; Ates M.; Bulut M.; Akin M.A.; Demir N.; Ozdemir R.; Arayici S.; Kader S.; Zubarioglu A.U.; Oktem A.; Bulbul A.; Hekimoglu B.; Ataoglu E.; Baser D.O.; Yalinbas E.E.; Imamoglu E.Y.; Ozlu F.; Bilgin L.; Kefeli M.; Arslan M.K.; Akar S.; Bezirganoglu H.; Bozdag S.; Gurpinar R.; Ciftdemir N.A.; Ozdemir O.M.The literature on neonates with SARS-CoV-2 is mainly concerned with perinatal cases, and scanty data are available about environmentally infected neonates. To fill knowledge gaps on the course and prognosis of neonatal cases, we analyzed 1-year data from the Turkish Neonatal Society in this prospective cohort study of neonates with postnatal transmission. Data from 44 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), of neonates with positive RT-PCR results at days 5–28 of life, were extracted from the online registry system and analyzed. Of 176 cases, most were term infants with normal birth weight. Fever was the most common symptom (64.2%), followed by feeding intolerance (25.6%), and cough (21.6%). The median length of hospitalization was 9 days, with approximately one quarter of infants receiving some type of ventilatory support. Myocarditis (5.7%) was the most common complication during follow-up. Among the clinical findings, cough (odds ratio [OR]: 9.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.17–21.71), tachypnea (OR: 26.5, 95% CI: 9.59–73.19), and chest retractions (OR: 27.5, 95% CI: 5.96–126.96) were associated with more severe clinical disease. Also, there were significant differences in the C-reactive protein level, prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time, international normalized ratio, and days in the NICU (p = 0.002, p = 0.012, p = 0.034, p = 0.008, and p < 0.001, respectively) between patients with mild-moderate and severe-critical presentations. A PT above 14 s was a significant predictor of severe/critical cases, with a sensitivity of 64% and specificity of 73%. Conclusions: Our data showed that late-onset COVID-19 infection in neonates who need hospitalization can be severe, showing associations with high rates of ventilatory support and myocarditis. Cough, tachypnea, and retractions on admission suggest a severe disease course. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04401540.What is Known:• Neonatal cases of COVID-19 infection are mainly reported as perinatal COVID-19 cases.• Neonates with perinatal transmission have a mild course and favorable prognosis.What is New:• Among symptomatic neonates with late-onset COVID-19 infection, fever was the most common symptom, and almost one quarter of hospitalized cases needed some type of respiratory support. Myocarditis was the most common complication.• The presence of cough, tachypnea, retractions, and a PT above 14 s were associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19.
