Item Evaluation of bone mineral density and its associated factors in postpartum women(2019) Eroglu, Semra; Karatas, Gulsah; Aziz, Vusale; Gursoy, Aybala Fatma; Ozel, Sule; Gulerman, Hacer Cavidan; 31759531; AAD-8353-2020Objective: Although osteoporosis commonly appears among postmenopausal women, it is rarely diagnosed during the postpartum period as pregnancy-lactation associated osteoporosis (PAO). The aim of the study reported here was to investigate low bone mineral density and its associated risk factors in postpartum women. Materials and methods: The sample consisted of 93 females aged 18-40 years and in the first month of the postpartum period. All the women had low back pain. The bone mineral density (BMD) Z-score values of the lumbar vertebrae, femur (neck and total) were examined using dual energy x-ray absorbtiometry four weeks after birth. Patients body mass index (BMI), 25-hydroxyvitaminD (25-OHD) levels and complete blood counts were recorded. Participants were divided into two groups to their Z scores: the normal group (n = 71) and the low BMD group (n = 22). Results: The 25-OHD levels were significantly lower (p = .02) in the low BMD group [4.45 (4.0-12.4)] than in the control group [22 (12-48)], however, NLR and PLR values were similar between groups. BMI positively correlated with BMD scores for the lumbar, femoral neck and femoral overall (p = .011, p = .026 and p = .026, respectively). Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency and BMI may play a critical role in PAO. Low back pain during postpartum period should be carefully evaluated. Adequate calcium and vitamin D supplementation may prevent possible bone loss. (C) 2019 Taiwan Association of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Electromagnetic radiation delivered in continuous (cSWD) or pulse (pSWD) mode provides a deep heating effect on tissues. There is no consensus on outcomes of treatment with cSWD versus pSWD in KOA. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of cSWD versus pSWD on pain, functionality and walking distance in KOA. Methods: 34 female patients aged 49-65 with KOA were randomized into two groups. A total of 27 patients completed the study. One group (n=11) was treated with cSWD, the other (n=16) with pSWD for three weeks. Patients were assessed before, after and at one month post therapy. Outcome measures included visual analogue scale (VAS) for knee pain, Western Ontario and Mcmaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and a six-minute walking test (6MWT). Results: Based on the minimal clinically important improvement (MCII), there was a reduction in VAS and WOMAC scores in both cSWD and pSWD groups post treatment (-37.3mm, 31.2mm respectively for VAS and 26%, 23% respectively for WOMAC) and at one month post treatment. There was no difference in pre and post treatment VAS for pain, WOMAC or 6MWT scores between the two groups. There was a small post treatment effect size on between- group 6MWT scores (Cohen's d: 0.238). Conclusion: Both treatment options appear to be efficacious in reducing pain and improving functionality in KOA. There was no between-group difference. A larger study must be conducted to consolidate these findings.Item An Example from the Rural Areas of Turkey: Women Breast Cancer Risk Levels and Application and Knowledge Regarding Early Diagnosis-Scan of Breast Cancer(2017) Taskin, Rukiye; Eroglu, Kafiye; Terzioglu, Fusun; Taskin, Lale; 31244531Objective: This research has been conducted for the purpose of determining the cancer risk levels of women living in a small village of in Saraycik village of Ankara and their knowledge and application of breast cancer early diagnose-scan methods. Materials and Methods: 317 women were taken as examples for the study. Data were collected by giving survey forms to women and conducting face-to-face interviews. In determining breast cancer risk, ''the form to determine the breast cancer risk'' has been used. For breast cancer informational questions, one point has been given for each correct answer. In evaluating the data, number, percentage calculations, average and standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U (MU), Kruskal-Wallis (KW), One-way analysis of variance (F) independent sample T (t) tests have been used. Results: It has been found that breast cancer risk is low, the knowledge level about cancer early recognition methods are medium among the women. It has been determined that 74.4% women didn't perform breast self-examination. 89.6% of women don't have mammography taken and 88.6% don't have their breast examined by health personnel. Conclusion: In our study, it has been found that the risk levels of women are low, their knowledge about early diagnosis and cure are at a medium level and their use of these methods are inadequate. For this reason, we suggest that responsibility of healthcare professionals have to be increased in determining breast cancer risk among women and education and advisory services for this subject to be offered.Item Approach to cardiovascular disease in women(2018) Gulmez, Oyku; Acar, Rezzan Deniz; Aktoz, Meryem; Atamer, Oya; Aytekin, Saide; Polat, Evin Bozcali; Celik, Hulya Gamze; Celik, Omer; Elcioglu, Betul Cengiz; Dincer, İrem; Gazi, Emine; Kayikcioglu, Meral; Keser, Nurgul; Ozer, Necla; Yasar, Ayse Saatci; Sahinarslan, Asife; Kurklu, Turkan Seda Tan; Tokgozoglu, Lale; Yamac, Aylin Hatice; Yildirimturk, Ozlem; Yilmaz, Dilek Cicek; Yilmaz, NeslihanCardiovascular disease (CVD) in women is still not completely understood by either patients or physicians. It is perceived as a health problem that becomes manifest only after menopause; however, it is the most frequent cause of mortality in women and is often seen at an earlier age in the presence of risk factors. Moreover, the symptoms, course, and prognosis are quite different from those seen in men, and both physicians and patients remain inadequately aware of the character of the disease. In the approach to female patients, some risk factors inherent to women should be considered in addition to the classic factors. In this review article, aspects of CVD that are different in women, etiological factors, risk factors specific to women, and particular points to be taken into consideration in the treatment and diagnosis are illustrated in the form of questions and responses from experts.
