Abstract

Although survival rates are increasing in acute leukaemias today, this rate is lower in developing countries; there are very few studies conducted on this matter in refugee patients. This research aims to evaluate the survival rate in pediatric Syrian refugee patients with acute leukaemia and compare it with Turkish pediatric leukaemia patients. A total of 144 patients diagnosed with acute leukaemia were included in the study, and their files were reviewed retrospectively. Nineteen 144 patients (13%) were Syrian refugees, and 125 (87%) were Turkish patients. The median age of the Syrian refugees and Turkish patients was 6.9 years (range 1-18 years) and 7.2 years (range 2-18 years), respectively, and gender distribution was similar for both groups (p:0.32). The relapse rate and rate of patients in the high-risk leukaemia group were higher in the Syrian refugee patient group (p=0.05). The survival rates of the Syrian refugee patients at the 11th month and 23nd month of the follow-up were 87.5% and 70%, respectively. The survival rates of the Turkish patients in the 23rd month and 44th month of the follow-up were 96.6% and 85%, respectively. The survival rates of the Turkish patients were significantly higher (p<0,001). The odds ratio of mortality adjusted for being a Syrian refugee was 5.3 (with a 95% confidence interval, 1.5 to 18.3). No difference was observed between the groups regarding compliance with treatment. Survival rates of the Syrian refugee leukaemia patients were lower, and the rate of patients in the high-risk leukaemia group and the relapse rate was higher in Syrian refugee patients compared to Turkish patients.

Abstract

In this study, our research objectives are; to evaluate death risk covariates and the clinical course of the COVID-19 patients who had received convalescent plasma treatment. This study was performed between April 2020 -April 2021, retrospectively. The study was conducted at two centers in Izmir, Turkey. Demographic characteristics, number of plasma given, the time between the onset of the symptoms and the first plasma treatment, and laboratory results(C-reactive protein, white blood cell, thrombocyte, lymphocyte counts, D-dimer, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and procalcitonin) are recorded. Biochemical parameters and the necessity of oxygen support for the patients were evaluated on days 0, 3, and 7 of the first plasma treatment. Death risk covariates were analyzed. Described as moderate, severe, and critical, 199 patients were included in this study. The patients' mean age of the patients was63.7±14.2 (min:24-max:93). Most patients were in the severe group (41.7%). The frequency of necessity of non-invasive mechanical ventilation/mechanical ventilation (NIMV/MV) support on day three and day seven was lower than on day 0 (p:0.004). C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels were progressively decreased on day three and day 7 (p<0.001, p<0.001).Multivariate analysis showed that; ?65 years of age (HR:1.62 [1.06–2.49]),critical disease severity(HR:2.64 [1.10–6.30]), necessity of corticosteroid treatment (HR:2.22 [1.29–3.82]), leukocyte counts of ?4.23x103/UL (HR:2.10 [1.19–3.69]), lymphocyte levels of ?0.80 x103/UL (HR:1.74 [1.06–2.86]), AST levels of ? 50 U/L (HR:2.18[1.42–3.34]), and procalcitonin levels of  ?0.5 ng/ml (HR:1.91 [1.26–2.91]) on day 3 were found independently associated with mortality. As a result, being older than 65 years old, having acute disease, receiving corticosteroids, having low lymphocyte-leucocyte counts, and having high ALT and procalcitonin levels are associated with mortality. Considering our findings, we think that more studies are needed in the patient groups.

Abstract

Aim of the study is to evaluate the pregnancy outcome and recurrence of the disease in patients with endometrioma. All patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for endometrioma between January 2017- 2020 in Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Women Health Training and Research Hospital, had a stage 3-4 disease, and met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. The exclusion criteria were; being menopausal, having laparotomy for endometrioma surgery, or presence of concomitant leiomyoma. The post-operative reproductive outcome and the recurrence rate were evaluated. Out of the 97 patients recruited, 57 (58.8%) were followed up for infertility, while the remaining forty had no desire for future pregnancy. Sixty-seven patients had elective surgery, and 30 (30.9%) underwent emergency surgery. Pregnancy was achieved in 18 (31.5%) within 3-18 months (8.94±4.54) after surgery, of which seven (38.8%) were spontaneous pregnancies while 11 had pregnancy through assisted reproductive techniques. The live birth rate was 88.8%, thirteen term delivery. Out of 97 patients, only four (4,1%) had recurrent endometrioma. The total pregnancy rate was high in the secondary infertile group (44.8%-17.8%), and the IVF pregnancy rate (60%) was high in the primary infertile group. Endometrioma surgery can be recommended for selected patients while preserving ovarian tissue.

Abstract

To make a reliable diagnosis on haematological examination, it is necessary to examine further the morphology of the blood cells previously stained in the procedure for staining thin blood smears using a buffer solution with a standard pH of 6.4 to 6.8. One of the problems that may occur in the laboratory is that the buffer reagents are damaged, past the expiration date or running out, so alternative buffers are needed that are cheap, fast and easy to obtain. This study aims to evaluate the staining results from alternative buffers. Study used a quasi-experimental method, and using alternative buffers from bottled mineral water following SNI-01-0553 2006. The colour produced by some of these alternative buffers is almost equivalent to blood cells stained with phosphate buffer. The percentage of assessment results in the alternative buffer codes B, C, D, E and F compared with control (A) were 62.67%, 92.00%, 82.67%, 80.00% 88, 00%, and 68.00%. The use of alternative buffers for staining thin blood smears using the Giemsa, Wright stain, and Romanowsky method can be done with mineral water as an alternative buffer for sample codes C, D, E and F, while B and G cannot be used. This alternative buffer can be applied by laboratory personnel in urgent situations in limited equipment and material facilities.

Abstract

The purpose is to determine the evaluation of the relationship between internet addiction and the communication competence levels of nurses. This descriptive study was conducted with 347 nurses in a Training and Research Hospital in Turkey. Data were collected with the Communication Competence Scale and the Internet Addiction Scale. In the evaluation of the data, the IBM SPSS statistics 22.0 program was used for statistical analysis in the study. At the same time, they were evaluating the study data in addition to descriptive statistical methods. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between variables. Internet addiction and communication competence are, respectively, found to be 45.22±14.16 and 98.64±18.98. A negative and weak significant relationship (r=-.270; p?.05) was found between internet addiction and communication competence levels. The study determined that as the level of internet addiction among nurses increased, their communication competence decreased. Therefore, awareness of the effect of internet addiction on occupational functions is essential.

Abstract

Continuously performing heavy activities will damage tissues and cells and cause oxidative stress. Fortunately, this damage can be reduced by giving antioxidants to reduce free radicals. This study uses the forced swimming test model to determine the effect of Javanese ginseng root extract on superoxide dismutase levels in male white Sprague Dawley rats. The samples were 30 white Sprague Dawley rats divided into five groups: the negative control group, the positive control group, treatment group 1 receiving Javanese ginseng extract at a dose of 0.35mg/200g BW/day, treatment group 2 receiving a dose of 0.70mg/200g BW/day, and treatment group 3 receiving a dose of 1.4mg/200g BW/day. On days 28 and 35, the rats were treated with the FST model. Meanwhile, on days 28 and 35, SOD levels were measured using the xanthine-xanthine oxidase method. The effect was analyzed using statistical analysis. The administration of Javanese ginseng extract at doses of 0.35 mg/200g BW rats/day, 0.70mg/200g BW rats/day, and 1.40 mg/200g BW rats/day could significantly increase SOD levels (p < 0.05). The administration of 1.40 mg/200g BW rats/day could increase a SOD level up to normal and give the same effect as the administration of xanthine (p > 0.05) does. In conclusion, the administration of Javanese ginseng extract significantly increases SOD levels in the rats by using the FST model. This study suggests to increases the potential of Javanese ginseng root as a natural-based antioxidant supplement by investigating human subjects, especially athletes and bodybuilders
