“…In the USA, 5 % of tuberculosis patients are below the age of 15 years, 40% of them are in the 15 – 44 year age group, and 24 % of them are over 65 year-old 18. In our study, although the majority of the patients were in the 15–44 year age group, in line with nationwide studies of Turkey and other studies, the proportion of patients who were younger than 15 years was lower 14,17,25. When ten-year periods were compared, the proportion of patients who were below the age of 15 years was significantly lower in the first decade than in the most recent decade whereas that of the 45–64 year age group and the over 65 age was higher.…”

“…In Turkey, the percentage of extrapulmonary TB cases was reported to be 27.0% in 2005, 36.8% in 2011 and 36.0% in 2014 6,17. In 2011, 27.3% of the male patients and 50.2% of the female patients had extrapulmonary involvement 17. In the study by Özkara et al in 108 dispensaries, the rate of extrapulmonary TB was reported to vary between 14.8% and 28.4% between provinces 34.…”

“…The high contact rate in the NTCD region paired with a low contact examination rate means that it is necessary to improve contact examinations. In Turkey, the percentage of extrapulmonary TB cases was reported to be 27.0% in 2005, 36.8% in 2011 and 36.0% in 2014 6,17. In 2011, 27.3% of the male patients and 50.2% of the female patients had extrapulmonary involvement 17.…”

“…In developed countries, tuberculosis is most common among the elderly and mostly results from the reactivation of a previous primary infection; however, in developing countries, TB affects all age groups, especially youth and young adults 22–24. Throughout Turkey, 5.4% of those who received treatment between 2005 and 2011 were in the 0–14 year age group, 58.3% were in the 15–44 year age group, and 11.1% were in the 65 and over age group 17. In the USA, 5 % of tuberculosis patients are below the age of 15 years, 40% of them are in the 15 – 44 year age group, and 24 % of them are over 65 year-old 18.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of patients who applied to the Bursa Nilufer Tuberculosis Dispensary by investigating the trends in epidemics over three decades.MethodIn this retrospective observational study, the records of all tuberculosis cases (1630 patients) treated in the last 30 years (1985–2014) at the Bursa Nilufer Tuberculosis Dispensary were examined and statistically analyzed.ResultsMales comprised 65.2% of the patients. The ages of the patients ranged from 1 to 87 years, and the mean age was 37.4 (95% CI: 36.6–38.2). Among the cases, 86.7% were new infections and 74.1% were pulmonary tuberculosis. In the last decade, the education level, the percentage of patients who had received a BCG vaccination, the proportion of women and active employees among them increased (p<0.05), while it decreased among men (p<0.05). Clinical symptoms accompanying TB such as weakness, anorexia, weight loss, and cough, decreased to a statistically significant degree (p<0.05). In the last decade, the mortality rate was 3.6% and increased compared with previous decades (p<0.05). Mortality was higher among patients who were elderly, male, did not have a BCG scar or had a chronic disease (p<0.05).ConclusionThis study adds information about the change of TB epidemics in Turkey in the last 30 years. Further studies are needed to determine the risk factors associated with tuberculosis mortality and to evaluate the effectiveness control programs of this disease.

“…Thermal imaging systems are used by designers to measure skin and surface temperature to provide efficiency and cost savings. 15 The advantage of using thermal camera technology for measuring skin temperature is that it does not require physical contact with the object. In addition, it allows only the temperature of the body part to be measured, provides freedom of movement during exercise, and has a high sensitivity, accuracy, and repeatability.…”

Garments should not overload the body during activity and should be chosen in accordance with the ambient conditions. Especially in active sports, sportswear should make a person feel comfortable and increase performance by easily removing excess heat and moisture from the body without interrupting physical activity. In this study, five T-shirts with the same size and weight characteristics, but in different yarn types were produced and analysed. The thermal and water vapour resistance properties of these garments were measured using a thermal manikin system. In addition, thermal camera images were taken at 10-minute intervals during the 50-minute wear trial programme, and skin temperatures were measured from the upper front body and the upper back body with two sensors. The results showed that POS and PM-coded garments made of polyester with low clothing insulation (clo) values were statistically different from CS and CPS coded cotton-containing garments in terms of front and back surface thermal camera images. It was observed that cotton-containing garments were more uncomfortable than polyester and Tencel owing to their higher thermal resistance, garment surface temperature, and skin temperature values. The Tencel garment was measured similarly to the CS and CPS coded garments at the beginning of the activity and measured similarly to the POS and PM coded garments at the end of the activity on both surfaces.
