Mental disorders such as migraine, dementia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, stroke, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Unconsciousness, tinnitus, depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders can be treated by magnetic stimulation of brain. In this study, changes in EEG signals recorded from patients with depression caused by TMS treatment are analyzed using signal processing techniques. The frequency analysis is performed by Fourier transform for each EEG channel of each patient before and after TMS treatment. Here, changes in EEG data of depressed patients with TMS treatment are analyzed using signal processing techniques in MATLAB®. The frequency analyses are obtained from Fourier Transform for each EEG channel of patients before TMS and after TMS treatment. Then these frequency values are compared for each patient. Also the respective IMF (intrinsic mode function) values of each channel are analyzed using the MEMD (Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition) algorithm. In this way, the alpha rhythm of EEG datas are detected and the changes in the alpha rhythm of each channel before and after treatment were analyzed.","PeriodicalId":127364,"journal":{"name":"2018 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126779777","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}

A pixel from each connected component of the quantized image is selected as a seed point and is employed by region growing algorithm to specify corresponding segment. The number of segments depends on the number of connected components. Experimental results show that this basic method has successfully segmented the liver.","PeriodicalId":127364,"journal":{"name":"2018 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123014405","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}

However, it is observed that there are nonstandard calibration studies in the sector because of the insufficient control mechanism.

Although PZTs is produced by chemical methods and PZTs need to be modeled due to the electrical properties of chemical materials in order to design the electrical circuits in which PZTs are used. The PZTs used in ultrasonic systems in order to produce acoustic energy need to alternative power. Reactive loads existing in the electrical model of PZT vary depending on frequency that is one of the parameters of alternative power. The electrical impedance matching with the alternative power supply has to be carried out in order to ensure that the produced treatment probes by using PZTs work effectively. Thus, the power applied from the source will be consume on the probe and the effective dose and treatment will be provided. In this study, electrical matching of the probe having a rectangular geometry produced from PZT and operating a central frequency of 1 MHZ which is used in the medical field is presented. The impedance values of the probe and PZTs were measured at the process stages of the probe production and results was given about the results of the matching circuit realized after calculations and simulations.","PeriodicalId":127364,"journal":{"name":"2018 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116470791","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}

Segmentation of the MR images in clinical researches and in clinical engineering-based studies is emerging as a considerable requirement for the analysis of the disease images and the diseases. Medical software tools have been developed to meet this need and to provide facilities for the clinicians, surgeons and researchers in computer-aided research projects they conduct. Currently available MR image segmentation tools have many differences when considering criteria such as design, graphical-user interface and functions they provide.

Most bone diseases occur due to abnormalities of calcium and phosphate homeostasis and deficiencies during remodeling. Due to the limited osteoinductive capacity of scaffolds, mineralization and osteointegration of these scaffolds are limited. Therefore, bioactive peptides are widely used for scaffold modification to stimulate their influence. In the literature, it is shown that surface modification with glutamic acid templated peptides is effective on nucleation and crystallization of hydroxyapatite. The aim of this study was to evaluate thr effect of surface modification with various number of glutamic acids containing peptides on cell viability, proliferation and mineralization. PLGA (Poly-lactide-co-glycolide) electrospun nanofibers (NFs) were conjugated with peptides including different repetitive glutamic acid and mineralized into SBF (stimulated body fluid). Then, MSCs (Mesencymal Stem Cells) were seeded on NFs. Mineralization amount on NFs were evaluated by Ca Assay and XRD (X-Ray diffraction). It was observed that proliferation and mineralization were significantly higher on the two glutamic acid (GLU) containing peptide conjugated groups compared to other groups.","PeriodicalId":127364,"journal":{"name":"2018 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131223706","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}
