Item A 10-year retrospective analysis of intimate partner violence patients in the emergency department(2022) Kavak, Nezih; Kavak, Rasime Pelin; Ozdemir, Meltem; Sever, Mustafa; Ertan, Nurcan; 35652880BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important human rights problem faced by one in three women worldwide. The aim of this study is to evaluate the demographic, trauma, and radiological characteristics of patients admitted to a tertiary emergency department due to IPV. METHODS: Sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, education level, and marital status), trauma characteristics (severity, type, and location), radiological imaging findings (radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) of patients diagnosed with IPV were evaluated. RESULTS: In the study, 1225 patients were evaluated, and 98.7% of them were women (mean age 35 [IQR: 17] years). Of the patients, 63.1% were high school and university graduates. The rate of married women was 74.6%. No relationship was found between gender, age, educational status, and marital status (p>0.05). Most of the traumas were minor (85.4%) and blunt (81.9%) trauma, and the most common types of trauma were kicking (49.9%) and punching (47.3%). It was found that the most frequently affected areas of the patients were the head and neck (76.7%), and the frequency of pelvic trauma was high in male patients (p<0.05). The most common bone fracture was nasal (40.5%) followed by ulna fractures (14.5%). The left-sided diaphyseal fractures were the most common in patients exposed to IPV. In our study, the frequency of mortality was 12.9%, and it was found to be significantly higher in males (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Female patients are more frequently exposed to IPV. Specific injury characteristics can be detected in patients diagnosed with IPV and old fractures detected in these patients should alert the clinician about IPV.Item 17 Years Of Pediatric Liver Transplantation Experience For Cirrhosis And Hepatocellular Carcinoma(2022) Ozcay, Figen; Sezer, Oya Balci; Sarialioglu, Faik; Boyvat, Fatih; Coskun, Mehmet; Reyhan, Nihan Haberal; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; AAJ-8097-2021Item 2019 Expert opinion on biological treatment use in inflammatory bowel disease management(2019) Toruner, Murat; Akpinar, Hale; Akyuz, Filiz; Dagli, Ulku; Hamzaoglu, Hulya Over; Tezel, Ahmet; Unsal, Belkis; Yildirim, Suleyman; Celik, Aykut Ferhat; 32207688Item 2019 Turkish Hypertension Consensus Report(2019) Aydogdu, Sinan; Guler, Kerim; Bayram, Fahri; Altun, Bulent; Derici, Ulver; Abaci, Adnan; Tukek, Tufan; Sabuncu, Tevfik; Arici, Mustafa; Erdem, Yunus; Ozin, Bulent; Sahin, Ibrahim; Erturk, Sehsuvar; Bittigen, Atilla; Tokgozoglu, Lale; 31483311The Turkish Hypertension Consensus Report was prepared for the first time in 2015 to adapt the European and American international guidelines to our clinical practice and to create a practical report that could be a basic reference for all physicians dealing with hypertensive patients. This report, which was prepared by a committee with representation from 5 leading hypertension associations, has been accepted and is widely used. New clinical studies in hypertension literature and updated international guidelines since 2015 have demanded an update of the Turkish Hypertension Consensus Report as well. In this updated 2019 report, blood pressure levels were classified as Normal, Elevated, Stage 1, and Stage 2 hypertension. A new section was added for secondary hypertension. It was specified that drug treatment may be initiated with any 1 or a combination of 4 groups of drugs (diuretics, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]), except a combination of an ACE inhibitor and an ARB. It was emphasized that beta-blockers may be a first choice for hypertension treatment in diseases such as atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. The initial recommendation for hypertension treatment is a combination therapy in patients with a blood pressure level >= 150/90 mmHg. Target blood pressure values were redefined according to age and the presence of comorbidities. The hypertension treatment algorithm was renewed; it is proposed that drug therapy can also be initiated with a risk-based approach for the group with an elevated blood pressure (systolic blood pressure: 120-139 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure: 80-89 mmHg). The threshold clinic systolic blood pressure level was reduced from 160 mmHg to >= 150 mmHg for the initiation of drug therapy in individuals 80 years of age or more. The section on the treatment of special groups has now been expanded to include pregnancy and lactation. As in the previous report, in this update, practical recommendations for the most common cases seen in the clinic were the goal, rather than a comprehensive report that addresses all aspects of hypertension. This report has evidence-based recommendations for most patients; however, it should be kept in mind that there may be differences from 1 patient to another and that physicians should take an individualized approach according to a good clinical evaluation.Item 2020 ESC Core Curriculum for the Cardiologist: What has changed? Why? Should we also change our curriculum?(2020) Yildirir, Aylin; 0000-0001-8750-5287; 33257609; 33257609; A-4947-2018Item 22q13.3 Deletion Syndrome: An Underdiagnosed Cause of Mental Retardation(2015) Erol, Ilknur; Onay, Ozge Surmeli; Yilmaz, Zerrin; Ozer, Ozge; Alehan, Fusun; Sahin, Feride IffetPhelan-McDermid syndrome, also known as 22q13.3 deletion syndrome, is characterized by global developmental delay, absent or delayed speech, generalized hypotonia, and minor physical anomalies. The deletion typically involves the terminal band 22q13.3 and has been associated with both familial and de-novo translocations. We report the case of an 11-year-old Turkish girl with 22q13.3 deletion syndrome presenting with repeated seizures during the course of a rubella infection. We also review the clinical features of 22q13.3 deletion syndrome and emphasize the importance of considering a rare microdeletion syndrome for idiopathic mental retardation when results of a routine karyotype analysis are normal. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a Turkish patient with isolated 22q13.3 deletion syndrome.Item 35-year Onset of a Squamous Cell Carcinoma Originating from Sacral Pilonidal Sinus(2019) Ozkan, Burak; Cologlu, Harun; Uysal, Cagrı A.; Ertas, Nilgun M.; 32537300Item 3D evaluation of the effect of disinfectants on dimensional accuracy and stability of two elastomeric impression materials(2018) Cinar, Duygu; Soganci, Gokce; Caglar, Alper; Yagiz, Ayberk; 29848853The aim of this study was to determine and compare the dimensional changes of polyether and vinyl polyether siloxane impression materials under immersion disinfection with two different disinfectants in three time periods. Impressions were obtained from an edentulous master model. Sodium hypochlorite (5.25%) and glutaraldehyde (2%) were used for disinfection and measurements were done 30 min later after making impression before disinfection, after required disinfection period (10 min), and after 24 h storage at room temperature. Impressions were scanned using 3D scanner with 10 microns accuracy and 3D software was used to evaluate the dimensional changes with superimpositioning. Positive and negative deviations were calculated and compared with master model. There was no significant difference between two elastomeric impression materials (p>0.05). It was concluded that dimensional accuracy and stability of two impression materials were excellent and similar.Item 3D Printing in Endodontics: Report of Three Clinical Cases with Innovative Approaches(2021) Koc, Cemre; Capci, Abdullah; 345538963D printing is a process whereby a given material is deposited in successive layers to create a 3D object. In dentistry, this technology involves three steps: digital data acquisition using a scanner and/or CBCT, data processing and design within a software application, and manufacturing through 3D printing. The aim of the present article is to discuss the clinical application of 3D printing in endodontics through the presentation of three specific and original endodontic clinical cases. Innovative approaches were utilized in these cases for the treatment of a calcified root canal, periapical surgery, and autotransplantation. The results of all three cases were promising regarding proper case selection and in the design process. 3D-printing technology may be helpful to reduce surgical time, operator bias, and the risk of procedural errors.Item 3q29 Microdeletion Syndrome Associated with Developmental Delay and Pulmonary Stenosis: A Case Report(2022) Kaba, Duygu; celik, Zerrin Yilmaz; 36305444Background. 3q29 microdeletion syndrome (OMIM 609425), first described in 2005, is a rare copy number variation (CNV), accompanied by various neurodevelopmental and psychiatric problems. Phenotypic features of the syndrome have not been fully characterized due to the new definition and rarity. Facial dysmorphology, musculoskeletal anomalies, cardiovascular abnormalities, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and dental abnormalities can be seen.Case. A 28-month-old male patient was brought to the child and adolescent psychiatry clinic with a complaint of speech delay. He had mild dysmorphic symptoms. He was also sensitive to voice and often covered his ears. Balloon valvuloplasty was performed on the postnatal 28th day due to severe pulmonary stenosis. While karyotype was found to be normal, in array-Comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), copy loss was detected in the long arm of chromosome 3 (arr[hg19] 3q29[196,209,689-197,601,344]x1), which contains approximately 1.4 Mb harboring 30 genes. Genetic counseling was given to the family of the patient who was diagnosed with 3q29 microdeletion syndrome.Conclusions. In conclusion, we present 3q29 microdeletion syndrome with global developmental delay (GDD), dysmorphic face, hyperacusis, scoliosis, and severe pulmonary stenosis. Performing genetic analysis in patients with developmental delay and congenital heart disease (CHD) for which the cause cannot be explained will prevent these rare diseases from being missed, and the characteristics of the diseases will be better characterized with the reported cases.Item 46,XY Partial gonadal dysgenesis; diagnosis and long-term outcome at puberty(2022) Guven, Ayla; 0000-0002-2026-1326; I-8448-2019Item 8500g of Uterus Torsion(2016) Bakay, KadirItem A. Lazer ve Isik Sistemleri(2020) Ozcan, HamdiLaser and light systems are being used and demanded by patients more and more everyday in the treatment of acne and scars. Various devices are used in active acne and scar treatment. The effects of light systems on acne and scar tissue have been reported in different magnitudes. Since there are differences in practice and methodology, no judgement can be made on the success of treatment methods. The effectiveness of light systems increases with combined therapies. Their use in combination with medical therapies may increase the rate of success.Item ABDOMINAL BIOELECTRIC IMPEDANCE FOR FOLLOW-UP OF DIETERS: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY(2019) Bozkus, Y.; Mousa, U.; Demir, C. C.; Anil, C.; Kut, A.; Iyidir, O. Turhan; Kirnap, N. Gulsoy; Firat, S.; Nar, A.; Tutuncu, N. B.; 0000-0002-1816-3903; 31508169; ABG-5027-2020; K-7904-2019Context. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a strong predictor of carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Abdominal bioelectrical impedance analysis (A-BIA) is a simple method for the measurement of VAT and is a promising tool in screening and follow-up of abdominal obesity. However the role of A-BIA in dieting individuals has not been evaluated adequately in longitudinal follow-up studies. Objective. The aim of this study is to determine the role of A-BIA in identifying the changes in metabolic predictors after diet and/or exercise therapy. Design. All patients who sought weight loss treatment underwent baseline assessment and were prescribed a program of diet. After a mean follow-up of 3.2 months, data were analyzed. Subjects and Methods. Ultimately, 103 participants who reported adhering to the diet, enrolled to the study. We tested associations between changes in body composition measures and changes in laboratory measures using correlations and multivariate linear regression analysis. Results. Mean loss of body weight was 3.4 +/- 2.8 kg. All but waist-to-hip ratio, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels changed significantly (p<0.001). Decreases in body weight, body mass index (BMI), and VAT level significantly correlated with decreases in fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin level, and HOMA-IR score (r=0.230-0.371). In multiple linear regression analysis changes in BMI and VAT significantly correlated with change in HOMA-IR score (F(7.93)=2.283, p=0.034, R2=0.147). Conclusion. Decreases in BMI and VAT, as determined by A-BIA, were predictors of changes in metabolic laboratory measures. A-BIA is useful for follow-up of patients receiving diet therapy for weight loss.Item Abdominal Compartment Syndrome(2015) Zeyneloglu, PinarIntraabdominal hypertension and Abdominal compartment syndrome are causes of morbidity and mortality in critical care patients. Timely diagnosis and treatment may improve organ functions. Intra- abdominal pressure monitoring is vital during evaluation of the patients and in the management algorithms. The incidence, definition and risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of intraabdominal hypertension and Abdominal compartment syndrome were reviewed here.Item Abdominal Ischemia-Reperfusion Induced Cardiac Dysfunction Can Be Prevented by MitoTEMPO(2021) Akkoca, Ahmet; Celen, Murat Cenk; Tuncer, Seckin; Dalkilic, Nizamettin; 33761811Background Cardiac dysfunction is secondary to acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The underlying cause of distant organ damage in the heart is the formation of oxidative stress caused by ischemia-reperfusion. In this study, we investigated the possible protective effects of a novel mitochondria-targeted antioxidant MitoTEMPO on contractile dysfunction and structural defects of the rat papillary muscle caused by abdominal ischemia-reperfusion (AIR). Methods and Results In the experiments, adult Wistar-Albino rats were used and animals were divided randomly into 3 groups; sham-operated group (SHAM), an IR group that had aortic cross-clamping for 1 h followed by 2 h reperfusion, and a third group that received protective 0.7 mg/kg/day MitoTEMPO injection for 28-day before IR. As a result, it was observed that MitoTEMPO injection had a protective effect on the mechanical activities and structural properties of the papillary muscle impaired by AIR. Our study also showed that AIR disrupted the contractile function of the papillary muscle for each stimulation frequency and post-potentiation responses tested. This is common for each measured and calculated mechanical parameter and MitoTEMPO injection showed its protective effects. Conclusion Consequently, calcium homeostasis seems to be impaired by AIR, and MitoTEMPO may exert its protective effect through energy metabolism by directly targeting the mitochondria.Item Abdominal Problems in Children with Congenital Cardiovascular Abnormalities(2015) Guney, Lutfi Hakan; Araz, Coskun; Beyazpinar, Deniz Sarp; Arda, Irfan Serdar; Arslan, Esra Elif; Hicsonmez, Akgun; 26185717Background: Congenital cardiovascular abnormality is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood. Both the type of congenital cardiovascular abnormality and cardiopulmonary bypass are responsible for gastrointestinal system problems. Aims: Intra-abdominal problems, such as paralytic ileus, necrotizing enterocolitis, and intestinal perforation, are common in patients who have been operated or who are being followed for congenital cardiovascular abnormalities. Besides the primary congenital cardiovascular abnormalities, ischemia secondary to cardiac catheterization or surgery contributes to the incidence of these problems. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: In this study, we aimed to screen the intra-abdominal problems seen in patients with congenital cardiovascular abnormalities who had undergone surgical or angiographical intervention(s). Patients with congenital cardiovascular abnormalities who had been treated medically or surgically between 2000 and 2014 were analyzed retrospectively in terms of intra-abdominal problems. The patients' demographic data, type of congenital cardiovascular abnormalities, the intervention applied (surgical, angiographic), the incidence of intra-abdominal problem(s), the interventions applied for the intra-abdominal problems, and the results were evaluated. Results: Fourteen (Group I) of the 76 patients with congenital cardiovascular abnormalities diagnosis were operated due to intra-abdominal problems, and 62 (Group II) were followed-up clinically for intra-abdominal problems. In Group I (10 boys and 4 girls), 11 patients were aged between 0 and 12 months, and three patients were older than 12 months. Group II included 52 patients aged between 0 and 12 months and 10 patients older than 12 months. Cardiovascular surgical interventions had been applied to six patients in Group I and 40 patients in Group II. The most frequent intra-abdominal problems were necrotizing enterocolitis and intestinal perforation in Group I, and paralytic ileus in Group II. Seven of the Group I patients and 22 of the Group II patients died. The patients who died in both groups had more than three congenital cardiovascular abnormalities in the same patient, and 80% of these patients had been operated for congenital cardiovascular abnormalities. Conclusion: The gastrointestinal system is involved in important complications experienced by patients with congenital cardiovascular abnormalities. The mortality rate was higher in operated patients due to gastrointestinal complications. Gastrointestinal complications are more frequent in patients with cyanotic anomalies. The presence of more than one congenital cardiovascular abnormality in a patient increased the mortality rate.Item Abdominopelvic Tumor Implants Detected with a Bone Scan in a Case of Borderline Ovarian Tumor(2015) Gencoglu, Esra Arzu; Cinar, Alev; Aktas, Aysel; 0000-0002-3426-2987; 0000-0003-4631-1683; ABA-7670-2021; ABG-1864-2020Item Ability of ESWL nomograms to predict stone-free rate in children(2021) Ceyhan, Erman; Ozer, Cevahir; Ozturk, Bulent; Tekin, Mehmet Ilteris; Aygun, Yuksel Cem; 0000-0001-8223-6399; 0000-0002-6232-4313; 0000-0002-7850-6912; 33867289; ABI-2513-2020; AAM-3015-2021; AAM-2222-2020Introduction We aimed to evaluate whether the pediatric extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) nomograms can predict stone-free status in children effectively and whether they are applicable to our series. We hypothesize that two current nomograms predicting successful treatment with ESWL in pediatric patients are valid. Study design We evaluated 415 renal units (children <18 years) with eligible data who received ESWL treatment for upper urinary tract stones. Children's age, gender, stone size, stone surface area, stone location and history of previous intervention were recorded. Children with no residual fragments after ESWL treatment were designated as stone-free. The nomograms described by Dogan and Onal were implemented to our series for the prediction of stone-free status. Results Mean age of children was 64.7 +/- 57.2 months. Male to female ratio was 219:196.78.8% (327) of children had single stone. Mean stone size was 10.0 +/- 3.7 mm and mean stone surface area was 380.0 +/- 72.2 mm(2). Our stone-free rate after single ESWL session was 52.5% (218/415). Mean residual stone size and stone surface area after single session was 6.4 +/- 3.3 mm and 36.0 +/- 44.2 mm(2) respectively. There were no significant difference between stone-free children and children with residual fragments regarding gender, age and history of previous intervention. Mean stone size and stone surface area in stone-free children were lower and lower pole stones had the lowest stone-free rate (p < 0.05). Area under curve for Dogan and Onal nomogram were 0.628 and 0.580 respectively in ROC analysis (0.05). The agreement between Dogan and Onal score was moderate in our series. In multivariate analysis only stone surface area and Dogan score found to be independent predictors of stone-free status (p < 0.05). Discussion Only one study has assessed both nomograms in the literature. Both nomograms are reported to be independent predictors of stone free status. ROC analysis in our study revealed fair accuracy for both nomograms with higher area under curve for Dogan nomogram. Higher accuracy for both nomograms were reported by other authors. These nomograms offer practical data but more effective tools are needed to be developed for the prediction of stone-free status in pediatric ESWL. Conclusions Stone size and stone surface area are associated with stone clearance. Dogan and Onal nomograms can be useful in prediction of stone-free status in children. Dogan nomogram is superior to Onal nomogram. [GRAPHICS]
