Item Is the Grade of Vesicoureteral Reflux Related with Detrusor Overactivity?(2014) Kilinc, Ferhat; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9506-0046; AAL-6156-2021Aim: The videourodynamic study outcomes in patients with vesicoureteral reflux were retrospectively reviewed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the idiopathic detrusor overactivity and the grade of vesicoureteral reflux. Material and Method: We reviewed retrospectively the videourodynamic traces of 71 vesicoureteral reflux patients without neuropathic conditions. Patients were divided into two groups: Patients without concomitant detrusor overactivity (Group 1), and patients with concomitant detrusor overactivity (Group 2). The reflux grades were divided into two grades; low-grade reflux (grades 1 and 2), high-grade reflux (grades 3, 4 and 5). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: Patients ages ranged between 5 and 16 years (mean 8.37 +/- 2.97 years). Of the 71 patients, 39 (54.9%) had a normal detrusor activity (Group 1), 32 (45.1%) had a detrusor overactivity (Group 2). Twenty-five (64.1%) patients in-group 1 had a low-grade reflux, 14 (35.9%) patients had a high-grade reflux. In-group 2, 17 (53.1%) patients had a low-grade reflux, 15 (46.9%) patients had a high-grade reflux. There was no significant difference between the two groups (p=0.488). Discussion: The idiopathic detrusor overactivity can be observed during urodynamic investigation of patients with vesicoureteral reflux, but it has no effect on the grade of reflux.Item Psikososyal Stres Faktorleriyle Tetiklenen Erken Baslangicli Konversiyon Bozuklugu Olarak Astazi-Abazi Olgusu 2(2022) Guler Aksu, Gulen; KAYAR, Ozan; TAN, Muhammet Emin; KUTUK, Meryem ozlem; BOZLU, Gulcin; TOROS, FevziyeConversion disorder is defined as the loss or change of motor, sensory, and autonomic nervous system-related functions that cannot be explained completely with organic causes. The etiology of the disease may be explained by psychoanalytic theory, learning theory, sociocultural factors, and some traumatic life events besides genetic and neurobiological factors. The onset is usually between late childhood and early adulthood. The disorder occurs after a high rate of psychosocial stressors and the symptoms can vary. While astasia, as one of the possible complaints in conversion disorder, is defined as not being able to stand due to loss of motor power or sensory loss; abasia is identified as patients having no apparent motor problem but not being able to walk properly. Both conditions can be of organic as well as the psychogenic origin. In this paper, the clinical signs of a seven-year-old boy who was admitted to emergency service of Mersin University Faculty of Medicine with the complaints of astasia and abasia but was found to have conversion disorder is presented. The results of the medical examinations and the possible psychosocial stress factors behind these symptoms, as well as the treatment process of the case, were shared. With this report, we is aimed to draw attention to the importance of early diagnosis of the disorder, the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach in the treatment process, and the handling of psychosocial factors leading to somatic symptoms.Item Demographic, epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of poisoning cases followed in pediatric intensive care unit(2020) Ozkale, Murat; Ozkale, Yasemin; 0000-0003-3009-336X; 0000-0003-0625-1057; AAL-6136-2021; A-7806-2016Purpose: This study was planned with the aim of retrospectively reviewing the demographic, epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of poisoning cases who treated in the pediatric intensive care unit and compare them with literature. Materials and Methods: The records of 581 patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit due to acute poisoning between 2015 and 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Results: Five hundred and eightyone cases were enrolled in this study. The poisoned patients were aged between 3 months-18years and the female to male ratio was 1.6. Most poisonings occurred via the oral route (97.8%). It was noted that 57.1% of poisoning cases were accidental, whereas 39.1% were suicidal and 3.8% were a result of a therapeutic error. Eighty point nine percent of the cases were drug related while 19.1% were non-drug-related. Central nervous system drugs (%40.6) were the most common agent in drug-related poisoning, however rat poisons were the most common in non drug-related poisoning. The overall mortality rate in this study was 0.1%. Conclusion: Drug poisoning is the most common cause of poisoning in our region, which requires hospitalization, indicates that the society primarily should be raised more in this regard. In addition, we believe that our study will guide the physicians working in childhood poisoning patients who require hospitalization in our province and it ssurroundings, reflecting the epidemiological and clinical features and our results will contribute to updating the regional poisoning data.Item Sadfly fever: two case reports(2016) Ozkale, Yasemin; Ozkale, Murat; Kiper, Pinar; Cetinkaya, Bilin; Erol, Ilknur; 0000-0002-3530-0463; 0000-0003-0866-7339; 0000-0003-3009-336X; 0000-0003-0625-1057; 27489469; AAK-4825-2021; AAF-1346-2021; AAL-6136-2021; A-7806-2016Sandfly fever, also known as 'three-day fever' or 'pappataci fever' or 'Phlebotomus fever' is a viral infection that causes self-limited influenza-like symptoms and characterized by a rapid onset. The disease occurs commonly in endemic areas in summer months and especially in August during which sandflies are active. In this article, two siblings who presented with high fever, redness in the eyes, headache, weakness, malaise and inability to walk, who were found to have increased liver function tests and creatine kinase levels and who were diagnosed with sadfly fever with positive sadfly IgM and IgG antibodies are reported because of the rarity of this disease.
