Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) have gained importance in Turkey since The Supreme Council for Science and Technology made a decision on supporting Technology Transfer Offices as an interface by public funding to contribute universityindustry relations, to support commercialization of technology, and to provide logistic reinforcement for academic researches on December 27, 2011.The definition of Technology Transfer Office in Turkey can be made as an organization performing the role of an interface between universities and industry to create knowledge based economy through this cooperation. Since 2013, 20 TTOs were established within the structure of universities with the funding support of Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK). However, the concept of technology transfer was used in the U.S.A. in 1940’s and in Europe in 1980’s. Here in this study, the structure of Technology Transfer Offices in Turkey was analyzed in comparison with Europe and the U.S.A. by using descriptive screening model. As a result of this study the current position of TTOs in Turkey was defined, and the results indicated that TTOs in Turkey will reach the functionality level of their counterparts in the U.S.A and Europe with the existing environment, staff and public support.

Aim: To determine the frequency of nosocomial infections (NIs) and the antimicrobial resistance of pathogens isolated from patients admitted to 4 intensive care units (ICUs) at a university hospital. Materials and Methods: The patients were prospectively followed over 2 years in medical, surgical, and reanimation ICUs. The isolates were collected from patients with NI determined by the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention criteria. The identification was performed and susceptibility to antibiotics was determined in an automated system Sceptor (Becton Dickinson) as described by the CCLS. Results: Among the 3962 patients in the ICUs, total NI incidence was 6.9%, with the highest rate in the reanimation ICU (14.7%) and the lowest rate in the surgical ICU (2.5%). In all, 492 NI episodes were diagnosed in 272 patients. The incidence of NIs was 13.1 per 1000 patient days. The NIs were urinary tract infections (32%), primary blood stream infections (24%), pneumonia (20%), surgical-si...
