Mono signs6/4/2023 The results of the present prospective experience point out that the Hoagland sign adds to the list of the common and characteristic features of mononucleosis and is likely more frequent than enlarged liver, enlarged spleen, jaundice or rash. Hence, early and rapid diagnosis is crucial. Furthermore, a leukemia or a lymphoma are occasionally suspected. The initial diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis (especially in throat carriers of this germ) or that of non-specific pharyngitis are often made. The presentation of mononucleosis may be heterogenous and, therefore, challenging. There is a need to expand awareness of this sign among physicians. The Hoagland sign is an easily identifiable clinical sign that is common and likely helpful early in the course of Epstein–Barr virus infectious mononucleosis. Patients with and without Hoagland sign did not significantly differ with respect to age and sex. The initial presentation included fever in 24, enlarged cervical lymph nodes in 23, pharyngitis in 21, a palpable liver in 7, a palpable spleen in 7, jaundice in 2, and a measles-like rash in 2 cases. Resultsĭuring the mentioned period, the diagnosis of mononucleosis was made in 26 (14 females and 12 males) subjects aged from 9.0 to 33 years. Methodsīetween 20, two of us evaluated all subjects with a positive acute Epstein–Barr virus serology for the typical signs of mononucleosis and for the possible existence of the Hoagland sign. This sign, referred to as Hoagland sign, is not or only marginally mentioned in reviews and textbooks. A painless bilateral swelling of the upper eyelid, sometimes with drooping of the lateral aspect, may also occur. Tuğçe Diri’s solo exhibition “Mono-Signs” can be visited until Apat Anna Laudel Düsseldorf.The typical presentation of Epstein–Barr virus infectious mononucleosis includes fever, pharyngitis, measles-like rash, jaundice, and enlarged lymph nodes, liver, or spleen. While doing so, Diri gives us clues to penetrate into the deep roots of an understanding rather than producing an art object. In the stack-compositions of the artist, which she creates spontaneously with a geometric and organic line, waste, litter, trash and garbage appear as heaps, recreating the image of natural disasters, catastrophes and destruction.Īround elements such as elegant handcraft, labor and productivity, the artist not only conveys the historical context of embroidery but also performs artisanal competence in working with materials and techniques. These images, evoking the representation of nature, the abstracted and transformed traces of garbage piles stacked on top of each other, become the landscapes of our age. In “Mono-Signs” the artist sets out with the idea that masses are a cultural phenomenon of consumption, and she physically and metaphorically divides these accumulations into pieces in her mind, then rearranges them on the painting surface by stacking, sorting, accumulating and filling, and combines them through repetitions. During the production process of her artworks, Diri blends the concepts of history, memory, culture and nature with a visual culture based on tradition, colliding cultural distinctions and similarities in the context of art and craft on a formal plane.Ĭonsidering cultural visual heritage as a layer of memory, the artist uses the traditional aesthetic as a language of expression that meets today’s critical discourses and concepts.īased on the idea that representation of nature in art is directly related to social and political perceptions, Diri brings an eco-critical approach to her works in the exhibition, emphasizing the traces left by human actions on the ecosystem. The exhibition takes its name from the word ‘mono’, which in Turkish means ‘uniqueness’. Anna Laudel Düsseldorf presents Tuğçe Diri’s first solo exhibition in Germany, titled “ Mono-Signs” between March 24 and April 30, 2022.
