Item Hegemonic Masculinity in Yasar Kemal's Demirciler carsisi Cinayeti and Yusufcuk Yusuf Novels(2021) Seker, Aziz; Ozcan, EmreIn recent years, with the widespread use of gender approaches in the literature of social sciences, the phenomenon of masculinity has become one of the central issues of the disciplines of sociology and cultural anthropology. In addition, in studies within the sociology of literature and literature, analyzes have gained momentum via conceptualizations such as patriarchy, gender inequality, masculine domination, and masculinity. Considering that novels, which can work on social reality around cultural, political and economic conditions, are a serious object of study for the sociology of literature, it can be understood why these conceptualizations come to the fore front. Eventually, literature does not correspond to an autonomous field outside of social history, and the reality of masculinity is not external to this history. Yasar Kemal, one of the important representatives of modern Turkish literature, presents the social and cultural structure and relations of production of the period to the reader in his own unique style. The phenomenon of masculinity emerges as the junction point of socio-economic, cultural and political structure and human relations, which it analyzes especially through the cukurova region. From this point of view, in this study, his novel Akcasazin Agalari, in which consists of two volumes as Demirciler Carom Cinayeti and Yusufcuk Yusuf opens to a discussion within the framework of hegemonic masculinity.Item Confirming the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorder by magnetic resonance imaging(2020) Yilmaz, Busra; Somay, EfsunPurpose: The aim of this study was to define the temporomandibular joint complaints of patients with different genders and educational levels and to investigate the accuracy of these complaints with the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorder (TJD) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRII). Material and Methods: Temporomandibular joint MRI and clinical examination findings and panoramic radiographs of 99 patients over 18 years of age who applied to the dental clinic between 2011-2018 with the complaint of jaw pain and limited mouth opening are evaluated. The cases which TJD was determined as a result of MRI, are accepted as MRI (+). The ones with the complaints of TJD, but the joint was within normal limits in the MRI, MRI is recorded as (-). Results: There is significant correlation between MRI results and gender but no correlation between MRI results and tooth loss. It is found education level did not have significant effect on the described joint complaints and MRI (+) findings. Conclusion: Women describe temporomandibular joint problems better than men. Even if the level of education is high, patients may not be able to convey their complaints correctly to the physician. Clinical findings should be supported by MRI results in order to diagnose this disease.Item Comparison of Antimicrobial Susceptibilities of Escherichia coli Isolated From Urinary Cultures of Different Patient Groups: A University Hospital Experience(2020) Mirza, Hasan Cenk; Sancak, Banu; F-1232-2015Objective: Our objective was to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibilities of Escherichia coli isolated from urinary cultures in Central Laboratory of Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Hospital and to examine the differences between antimicrobial susceptibilities of E. coli isolated from different patient groups. Methods: E. coli isolated from urinary cultures between January 1, 2017 and April 30, 2018 were included in our study. Automated systems, i.e. VITEK (R) 2 Compact (bioMerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) and BD Phoenix (Becton Dickinson, Sparks, MD, USA) and disk diffusion test were used for the determination of antimicrobial susceptibilities. The patients from whom the bacteria were isolated were divided into groups according to age (<18 years, 18-64 years, and >64 years), gender and patient care (outpatients/inpatients). Results: The highest susceptibility rates were observed for carbapenems (>99%), fosfomycin (98.5%), nitrofurantoin (98.3%) and amikacin (94.2%), whereas the highest resistance rates were observed for ampicillin (61.3%) and amoxicillin-clavulanate (37.5-45.7%). Antimicrobial resistance rates of isolates from patients aged 65 years and over were higher than those of patients in other age groups, with the exception of piperacillintazobactam, amikacin and ertapenem. The resistance rates of isolates belonging to male patients were higher than those belonging to female patients for all antimicrobials. Also, the resistance rates of isolates belonging to inpatients were higher than those belonging to outpatients for all antimicrobials. When the rates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli from different age groups were compared, the highest rate (34.2%) was observed among the isolates from patients aged 65 years and over. The rates of ESBL-producing E. coli from males (33.9%) and inpatients (36.3%) were higher than those from females (23.8%) and outpatients (23.3%), respectively. Conclusions: Antimicrobial susceptibilities of E. coli isolates may vary among different patient groups. Demographic features of patients may guide for selecting the antimicrobials for empiric treatment of urinary tract infections.Item Determination of anthropometric measurements in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Turkish population(2019) Savas Bozbas, Serife; 32050866Introduction: In this study, we aimed to determine the values of anthropometric measurements and rates used in the evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in our country. Materials and Methods: Twenty accredited sleep centers in thirteen provinces participated in this multicenter prospective study. OSAS symptoms and polysomnographic examination and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >= 5 cases OSAS study group; patients with AHI <5 and STOP-Bang <2 were included as control group. Demographic characteristics (age, sex, body mass index-BMI) and anthropometric measurements (neck, waist and hip circumference, waist/hip ratio) of the subjects were recorded. Results: The study included 2684 patients (81.3% OSAS) with a mean age of 50.50 +/- 0.21 years from 20 centers. The cases were taken from six geographical regions of the country (Mediterranean, Eastern Anatolia, Aegean, Central Anatolia, Black Sea and Marmara Region). Demographic characteristics and anthropometric measurements; age, neck, waist, hip circumference and waist/hip ratios and BMI characteristics when compared with the control group; when compared according to regions, age, neck, waist, hip circumference and waist/hip ratios were found to be statistically different (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.05, respectively). When compared by sex, age, neck and hip circumference, waist/hip ratio, height, weight and BMI characteristics were statistically different (p<0.001, respectively). Neck circumference and waist/hip ratio were respectively 42.58 +/- 0.10 cm, 0.99 +/- 0.002, 39.24 +/- 0.16 cm, 0.93 +/- 0.004 were found in women. Conclusion: The neck circumference was lower than the standard value in men, but higher in women. The waist/hip ratio was above the ideal measurements in both men and women. In this context, the determination of the country values will allow the identification of patients with the possibility of OSAS and referral to sleep centers for polysomnography.Item Evaluation of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Patients According to Gender Differences(2015) Altintas, Ebru; Ozcurumez, GamzePurpose: A homogenous classification cannot be obtained because of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder's (OCD) heterogeneous structure. The present study aimed to determine the relation of gender related differences with clinical features, symptom dimensions, age of onset, comorbidity in OCD patients. As distinct from the other studies we also aimed to evaluate the difference of Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale's (Y-BOCS) subscales (insight, avoidance, pathologic doubt and pathologic responsibility, instability, retardation) between male and female patients with OCD. Method: The present study comprised of 198 patients aged between 15 and 65 years, who met the OCD criteria of DSM-IV-TR. Detailed data on clinical and sociodemographic characteristics were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups; male (n=65) and female (n=133). The patients underwent Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Inventory (SCID-I), Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale and Check List, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory. Scores of these inventories were statistically compared. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in mean age, marital status, education level, family history, social support, hospitalization and suicidal attempt history between the two groups. We found a high treatment seeking, earlier age onset of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms and disorder in males. We did not find any symptom differences except sexual obsession and repeating compulsion between male and female patients with OCD. We also found high BAI and BDI scores in females. We did not find statistically significant differences in the proportion of comorbid psychiatric disorders and the subscales of Y-BOCS between genders. Conclusion: The present study suggests that age of onset, treatment seeking, anxiety, depression level, and some OC symptoms are different between male and female patients and gender may be used for the classification of the OCD.
