Authors: KESKİN Neslihan Büşra , KAYA Emine
Published: September 2022

Aim: The novel coronavirus continues to spread around the world despite all efforts. Dental professionals and staff are exposed to high infection risks and have the potential to spread these infections. Web-based portals are widely used in dentistry for obtaining information. YouTube is one of the most popular web platforms provides a wide variety of information, however, concerns are raised regarding the quality of the videos. The purpose of this study is to analyze the content of YouTube videos on aerosol management in dentistry during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and Methods: YouTube search was performed using the terms “dental aerosol management and COVID-19”, “dental aerosol control and COVID-19” and “dental aerosol reduction and COVID-19” with the default filter set to ‘‘sort by relevance’’. The first 100 videos for each term were viewed and analyzed by 2 independent research. The Global Quality Scale (GQS) and the video information and quality index (VIQI) INDEX were performed to evaluate video quality. Viewers’ interactions and Viewing Rate index were chosen to evaluate the video popularity and also other parameters (number of views, duration, time since upload, and likes and dislikes, country of origin, source of upload) were evaluated.

Results: After the exclusion criteria 57 videos were evaluated. 11 of the 57 videos had excellent quality and flow. It was observed that as the duration increased, the quality of the videos in both evaluation indexes (VIQI-GQS) were increased. There was no significant difference in terms of loading sources for VIQI and GQS index.

Discussion and Conclusions: Besides high-quality videos on aerosol management, there were some low-quality videos that may cause spread of misleading information. Healthcare professionals should play a more active role in the educational videos about infection prevention and aerosol management during pandemic on YouTube.

Hyperthyroidism in horses is a rare disorder in young horses that causes diverse findings such as weight loss, tachypnea, aggression, change in appetite and cachexia. In this report, the clinical manifestation and methods that used in the diagnosis of thyroid adenoma are presented. It was learned that a 3-year-old male Thoroughbred horse became aggressive and had been losing weight despite an adequate diet and appetite. During the inspection, a palpable, painless and moving mass was detected caudal to the larynx, on the left side. For further diagnosis, hemogram, serum biochemistry, urine dipstick analysis and ultrasonographic examination were performed. In serum biochemistry, high HDL, LDH, triglyceride, AST, direct bilirubin, creatine kinase and fT3; low TSH, fT4 and ferritin levels were determined. Ultrasonographic examination revealed that the left thyroid tissue was 2.83 cm x 4.81 cm in size. In the microscopic examination of the aspirate, it was observed that follicles were rich in cytoplasm and surrounded by cuboidal epithelial cells of varying sizes. Dilatation was observed in some follicles, while others were small or even atrophic. As a result, high fT3 and low TSH levels were consistent with the fact that the gland was overactive, the circulating thyroid hormone level was high, and the pineal gland produced less TSH by the feedback mechanism, all of which indicated hyperthyroidism. In addition, it was concluded that thyroid adenoma can also be seen in young horses, may cause clinical symptoms, ultrasonographic examination, microscopic examination of the aspirate and comprehensive serum biochemistry analysis are sufficient for diagnosis.

Authors: ÖZEN BEKAR Ebru , ALAN Handan
Published: September 2022

Aims: The main aim of this study is to evaluate the training program organized for unit charge nurses on their proficiency perception.

Methods: The research was conducted as a quasi-experimental model with a pre-test-post-test control group design. The experimental and control groups consisted of 54 unit charge nurses, who were similar from two university hospitals. The whole population was considered as the research sample. “Unit Charge Nurse Proficiency Evaluation Scale” was used for pre- and post-study evaluations.

Results: Although the majority of the manager nurses participating in the study had a bachelor's degree, it was seen that 7.4% of the experimental group (E) and 3.7% of the control group (C) received training on management. . In the experimental group, the pre-test unit charge nurse proficiency score was 4.03, while it was 4.40 in the posttest. On the other hand, in the control group, the pre-test unit charge nurse proficiency score was 3.99, while it was 4.03 in the post-test. Consequently, it can be said that the scores that had been homogeneous before the intervention increased in favour of the experimental group after the intervention.

Conclusion: The results of this study show that the proficiency of unit charge nurses can be improved with manager development training. In hospitals, it is important to provide the nurses with an appropriate training for the managerial position to which they will be appointed, and to maintain manager development training in line with their proficiency areas after the appointment.

Published: September 2022

The financial sector of the economy of the Republic of Moldova, established as a result of building the market economy, has complained to many modern financial institutions, which triggered, on the one hand, the profound transformation of the legacy inherited from the state economy, and, on the other hand, the founding of new entities. Obviously, this process has resulted in a shortage of qualified personnel in the field of finance, which, along the way, thanks to the expansion of financial education, has been covered. However, even after three decades, there are deficiencies in the training of staff. One of the fundamental problems in the training and professional development of specialists in the field of currency and credit is the modelling of professional skills, issue that is investigated in this paper. The obtained results can serve as support for the argumentation of the recommendations on the modernization of financial education, the selection and adaptation of the content of the lecture units and non-auditorial teaching activities, but also of the professional training programs and the procedures for assessing professional competences to the contemporary requirements of functioning of financial institutions.

Published: September 2022

Introdução: A sífilis é uma infecção sexualmente transmissível de grande relevância atual que pode evoluir com neuroinfecção, se não tratada precocemente. A apresentação clínica pode se manifestar com quadros neurológicos e psiquiátricos que mimetizam demência, síndromes psicóticas e transtornos de personalidade e humor. Metodologia: Pesquisa nas bases de dados Medline, Lilacs e PubMed usando os descritores Neurosífilis; Neurosyphilis; Trastorno Bipolar; Bipolar Disorder. Foram selecionados relatos de caso, compreendidos entre os anos de 2011 e 2022, escritos em inglês, português e espanhol. Relato de caso: Paciente do sexo masculino, de 42 anos, sem comorbidades psiquiátricas, deu entrada no Hospital Universitário São Francisco (HUSF) devido a sintomas depressivos. Há 5 meses, havia apresentado um episódio maniforme quando foi realizado VDRL sérico e liquórico cujo resultado era de 1:128 e 1:64, respectivamente. Recebeu o diagnóstico de neurossífilis, sendo adequadamente tratado para neuroinfecção. Na ocasião do caso, foi introduzido ácido valpróico 1g/dia e, posteriormente, sertralina 50mg/dia. No HUSF, optou-se pela otimização da dose das medicações já utilizadas, obtendo melhora do quadro clínico e sem recorrências até o presente momento. Discussão: A neurossífilis pode mimetizar o transtorno bipolar, devido ao prejuízo das funções cognitivas e executivas no processo fisiopatológico. A evolução clínica varia, podendo ser exuberante mesmo após o tratamento adequado e a queda na titulação do VDRL. Conclusão: O diagnóstico de neurossífilis em pacientes psiquiátricos deve ser sempre aventado, uma vez que a doença pode causar déficits e alterações de humor que podem mimetizar diversas condições neurológicas e psiquiátricas.

Published: September 2022

The quality of blood treatment before and after transfusion must be maintained to prevent the potential of transfusion reactions. A blood storage process must meet the requirements that have been set. Platelets play a role in repairing the chain reaction of blood vessel damage and initiating bleeding cessation that results in blood clotting. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of storage period on platelet levels in whole blood in a blood bank refrigerator using a quasi-experimental method (one-group pre-post test design). The population was 30 donors selected by simple random sampling. Data analysis used was Friedman test. The results showed that there was a significant effect of storage period on platelet levels at 0, 10, 20 and 30 days with a p value <001. The life span of platelets in vivo is about 7-10 days, whereas in vitro (without shaking) is only 3 days. The decrease in platelet levels is possible due to short lifespan effect and changes in cell structure. This can cause the platelet cells morphology to change shape to become irreversible and can cause the loss of platelet viability. The blood storage period with the right duration is needed to maintain blood quality.

Purpose: Dentinal hypersensitivity is a common clinical condition associated with exposed dentinal surfaces. Dentinal tubules can be entirely blocked after irradiation by 980-nm diode laser, with no significant morphological alterations after radiation. The use of toothpastes containing Potassium Nitrate and Calcium Hydroxyapatite reduces dentinal hypersensitivity. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of Diode Laser and two Desensitizing Toothpastes for Dentinal Tubular Occlusion by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Methods: Twelve extracted premolars were divided into two halves each obtaining twenty-four dentin discs. Specimens were etched with 17% phosphoric acid to expose the tubules and were divided into four groups: i.e., Group A: Application of Diode Laser, Group B: Application of SHY-XT toothpaste, Group C: Application of Biomed toothpaste and Group D: Application of Distilled water. After treatment, quantitative analysis of occluded dentinal tubules was done by SEM analysis. Results: The mean values of total dentinal tubular occlusion in Groups A, B, C and D were 0.42, 0.86, 2.14, 4.07 respectively which was statistically significant (p<0.001*). Diode laser (Group A) yielded a significant occlusion of the dentinal tubules when compared to the two desensitizing toothpastes (Groups B and C).
