STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF PRELIMINARY PLASTIC DEFORMATION IN THE PROCESS OF DISSOLUTION DURING TEMPERING OF LOW-CARBON AND BORON-CONTAINING ALLOYS
Authors: Filonenko M. Yu. , Piliaieva S. B.
Published: June 2023

In the paper the influence of preliminary deformation on disintegration of martensite in boron-containing and carbonic alloy is explored. It is shown that at the small degree of deformation (7 per cent) both in low-carbonic and boron-containing alloys the process of martensite disintegration takes place less intensively. The increase of degree of preliminary deformation in a boron-containing alloy is instrumental in more even distribution of boron-cementite particles appearing as a result of martensite disintegration.

Evaluation of the Relationship between Favipiravir Use Status and Telogen Effluvium in Patients Diagnosed with COVID-19
Authors: AKÇA Hanife Merve , METİN Zuhal , İMREN Işıl Göğem , TUNCER KARA Kevser
Published: June 2023

Favipiravir (FVP) is a competitive inhibitor of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and is also a purine nucleoside analogue. It produces antiviral activity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has been used to treat COVID-19. Telogen effluvium (TE) is a widespread, non-scarring shedding due to the early entry of hair during the telogen phase. The most prevalent causes are drugs, physiological and emotional stress, surgery, high fever, chronic infections, diet, iron deficiency, and smoking. In this study, we investigated whether there was a significant difference in terms of TE by questioning the patients who had coronavirus in the last 1 year, and who received and did not receive FVP treatment. This study included patients aged 18-65 years old who applied to the Karaman Training and Research Hospital, Dermatology, and Venereal Diseases outpatient clinic complaining of hair loss and having had COVID-19 in the last year. We confirmed the diagnosis of TE by using trichoscopy on patients with a positive pull test. We investigated whether there was a difference in terms of TE and other types of hair loss between patients who received FVP treatment and those who did not. For the study Karamanoglu Mehmet Bey University ethics committee approval was obtained (June 16, 2022). As a result of comparing the patients' gender, comorbidity, pull test, and thyroscopic findings according to the use of FVP, it was clear that most of the FVP users were women (p = 0.027). Among those who did not use FVP, positive pull test scores were significantly higher (p = 0.026). The fact that the pull test was significantly lower in patients in our study using FVP may suggest that FVP has no effect on TE’s development. We did not find any study on its effect on alopecia and TE. We think that our study is also important in this respect.

Authors: KULA Atay Can , CEKEN Nihan , DURAN Hülya
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Aim: Viral hepatitis agents include Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus, which cause an important public health problem due to serious complications. Patients examined at the outpatient clinics of internal medicine are among main risk groups, as they have concomitant diseases and undergo various procedures. We aimed to investigate retrospectively the seroprevalence of viral hepatitis in outpatients in internal medicine in our region.

Material and Methods: HBsAg and Anti-HCV parameters, and demographic data such as age and gender of patients admitted at the outpatient clinics of internal medicine at our hospital between January 2017 and July 2022 were retrospectively evaluated, with HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA levels of those who showed reactivity.

Results: HBsAg test results of 2618 patients and Anti-HCV test results of 2943 patients were obtained in this study. The mean age of patients with HBsAg tests was 34.2±15.7, and mean age of patients with Anti-HCV test was 34.3±15.7 years. HBsAg reactivity rate was 0.9%; and the mean age of patients showing reactivity was 47.7±14.4 years. Anti-HCV reactivity rate was %0.1, with a mean age of 52.6±21.3 years. Both HBsAg and Anti-HCV reactivity was not present at the same patient in our study.

Conclusion: Early diagnosis of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viruses decrease the risk of developing complications, easing treatment processes and decreasing the risk of contagion. Thus, increasing use of screening tests as part of preventive medicine is very important.

Authors: GÜRLEVİK Ercan , AKÇA Hatice Şeyma , AKÇA Muhammed Tahir , AKÇA Hilal
Published: June 2023

Aim

Our study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the De-Ritis ratio and prognosis and mortality in patients diagnosed with cholecystitis.

Materials and Methods

This retrospective observational study was conducted on patients diagnosed with acute cholecystitis who presented to the emergency medical clinic of XXX Hospital between June 1, 2020, and January 1, 2022. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software (v.20; Chicago, IL, USA) was used for all statistical analyses. All results with p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results

In our study, 174 patients were included, and 50.6% of our patients were women. The mean age was 59.0 (43.2 to 71.8). A total of 2.29% of our patients died. No statistically significant relationship was found between AST, ALT, CRP, albumin, and the De-Ritis ratio and mortality (p=0.584, p=0.533, p=0.517, p=0.07, p=0.399, respectively). When mortality rates in operated patients were examined, no statistically significant correlation was found between AST, ALT, CRP, albumin, and De-Ritis rates and mortality (p=0.248, p=0.315, p=0.451, p=0.183, p=0.688, respectively)

Conclusion

To the best of our knowledge, no study has examined the relationship between cholecystitis and the De-Ritis ratio. De-Ritis ratio is not used as a prognostic marker in patients with cholecystitis.

Published: June 2023

Abstract:

Physicians are making great efforts to decrease the long-term complications of the cesarean section such as placental adherent syndromes, uterine scar pregnancies, uterine rupture, abnormal menstrual bleeding, or isthmocele. There is a controversy about the closure technique of the cesarean incision. The purpose of that study was to compare the impact of single layer versus double-layer closure of the hysterotomy incision on the residual myometrial thickness, isthmocele, menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia.

Material and Method

A prospective randomized cohort study has been performed in a tertiary center named Bursa Yuksek İhtisas Training Research Hospital between July – October 2021. Patients were randomly assigned to each procedure (1:1) to the Single Layer Locked Continuous group and Double-layer Continuous un-locked group as uterine closure technique. Patients were examined via transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate the isthmocele occurrence, residual myometrium thickness, and inquired about menstrual properties, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia. Patients were also divided into groups via underwent first cesarean and more than one cesarean.

Results:

The numbers of the women whose hysterotomy incision was closed by single-layer locked continuous( SLLC) technique and double-layer un-locked continuous(DLUC) technique 68 and 71 respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of demographic variables, obstetric history, post-operative complications, neonatal outcomes. The comparison of these groups revealed that there was no significant difference in terms of post-menstrual bleeding, heavy menstrual bleeding, post-coital bleeding, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia. The incisional residual myometrial thickness was higher in the DLUC group with a p-value of 0,007. Six patients in SLLC and 5 patients in the DLUC group have detected isthmocele (p: 0,941).

Patients have also been categorized as women who undergone their first cesarean section (SLLC n: 33 versus DLUC, n:33) and more than one cesarean section (SLLC n: 35 versus DLUC, n:38). Comparing the patients in these subgroups also did not differ significantly in terms of isthmocele occurrence, menstrual disorders, or residual myometrial thickness.

Conclusion:

No significant difference had occurred in terms of isthmocele incidence, or menstrual disorders comparing the single layer versus double-layer closure. However, women whose hysterotomy insicions were closed with double-layer un-locked continuous technique have a thicker resudial myometrium than single layer closure group especially women who underwent repeated cesarean.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: The correct and early diagnosis of brucellosis is very crucial to decelerate its spread and providing fast treatment to patients. This study aims to develop a predictive model for diagnosing bacteremia in brucellosis patients based on some hematological and biochemical markers without the need for blood culture and bone marrow and to investigate the importance of these markers in predicting bacteremia.

Materials/Methods: 162 patients with diagnosing brucellosis, 54.9% of whom are non-bacteremic, 45.1% bacteremia were retrospectively collected. The 20 demographic, hematological and biochemical laboratory parameters and 30 classifiers are used to predict bacteremia in brucellosis. Classifiers were developed by using Python programming language. Accuracy (ACC), Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AROC), and F measure were employed to find the best fit classification method. Feature importance method was used to determine most diagnostic markers to predict the bacteremia. Results: Extratree classifier with criterion “entropy” (ETC1) showed the best predictive performance with Acc values ranging between 0.5 and 1.00, F values between 0.53 and 1, and AROC values between 0.62 and 1. The neutrophil%, lymphocyte%, eosinophil%, alanine aminotransferase, and C-reactive protein were determined as the most distinguishing features with the scores 0.723, 1.000, 0.920, 0.869, and 0.769, respectively.

Conclusions: This study showed that the ETC1 classifier may be helpful in determining bacteremia in brucellosis patients and that elevated lymphocytes, alanine aminotransferase, and C-reactive protein and low neutrophils and eosinophils may indicate bacteremic brucellosis.

Authors: ERDOĞAN KAYA Ayşe
Published: June 2023

Aim: Although malpractice has been on the agenda in various fields of medicine in recent years, the literature data on this subject is still insufficient, especially in the field of mental health. In the literature review, it has been determined that there is a need for a detailed analysis of the publications on psychiatric malpractice in order to guide the researchers in the next process and to examine the studies done so far in a holistic manner. This study aims to analyze the publications on psychiatric malpractices so far.

Material and Methods: Publications on psychiatric malpractice published between 1980-2022 were analyzed using bibliometric methods. The data of the publications were accessed from the Web of Science database, and in the first stage of the research, the numerical data of the researches in this field were examined with performance analyzes. In the second stage, visual network maps were created using the Vosviewer package program.

Results: As a result of the search, a total of 426 publications and 8,901 citation were found. The field with the highest number of publications is Psychiatry with 219 publications, and the authors with the highest number of publications in this field are S.C.Charles with 11 publications and T.G.Gutheil with 10 publications. The institution with the largest number of publications is Harvard University with 46 publications. The most common type of publication is articles and their total number is 312. It has been determined that the journal with the highest number of publications in this field is the Journal Of The American Academy Of Psychiatry And The Law with 35 publications. It has been determined that USA has the highest number of publications with 279 publications.

Conclusion: This comprehensive bibliometric analysis study examined the studies on malpractice in the field of psychiatry, and as far as we know, it is the first bibliometric analysis in the field of psychiatric malpractice. It is thought that our study will guide researchers interested in this field by providing a holistic perspective on the characteristics of the publications made so far in the field of malpractice in psychiatry.
COMPARISON OF DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES USED IN THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF ENDOMETRIAL PATHOLOGIES PRESENTING WITH AN ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING
Authors: OMURCA Fatih
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Transvaginal ultrasonography ( TVUSG ) examination, dilatation and curettage ( D&C ) approach and hysteroscopic assesment are frequently used in examination of the abnormal uterine bleeding ( AUB ). The specisific test for detection of the AUB is histopathological evaluation. The study aimed to check the exactness of TVUSG, D&C and hysteroscopy for differential diagnosis of the AUB.

Patients and Methodology: Subjects with AUB, who were supposed to have an endometrial pathology on TVUSG, D&C or hysteroscopy, were included in this retrospective study. Our retrospective study was conducted in 160 patients who were admitted to our clinic with complaint of abnormal uterine bleeding. The final pathological diagnosis was accepted as the reference test and sensitivity and specifity of the D&C, hysteroscopy and TVUSG was checked with the pathological diagnosis.

Results: Hysteroscopy combined with biopsy provieded highest correlation with the histopathological evaluation. However, the statistical values obtained with TVUSG was comparable to that of the hysteroscopy alone and D&C but lower than that of the hysteroscopy combined with biopsy.

Conclusion: Transvaginal ultrasound is a readily available and reproducible imaging technique for the evalution of the endometrial pathologies leading to the AUB. However, the specificity of the TVUSG is quite low. Among the methods used to correctly identify the endometrial pathologies in our study population, the highest sensitivity and specificity was obtained with hysterosopy combined with the biopsy. Nevertheless, TVUSG provides similar statistical values compared to hysteroscopy alone and D&C.
Determinantes da adoção do hedge accounting pelos bancos brasileiros
Authors: Dantas José Alves , Leite Gustavo Barbosa , Teixeira Elisa Elaine
Published: June 2023

Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar os fatores determinantes da adoção do hedge accounting pelos bancos brasileiros que publicam demonstrações financeiras em IFRS. Para a realização dos testes foram examinadas demonstrações financeiras em IFRS de 41 bancos, no período de 2015 a 2020. Os resultados dos testes empíricos revelaram que a adoção do hedge accounting é positivamente relacionada com: (i) o fato de os bancos terem o capital de controle de natureza privada, serem de capital aberto (listados na B3) e possuírem investimentos no exterior, sob a forma de dependências ou subsidiárias; e (ii) o nível de participação das carteiras de crédito a clientes e de títulos e valores mobiliários na estrutura patrimonial das entidades. Os testes demonstraram, também, que o tamanho dos bancos, o fato de serem listados nos níveis de governança da B3 e o nível de rentabilidade das entidades não ajudam a explicar a adoção do hedge accounting pelos bancos brasileiros. Os resultados permitem identificar padrões nas instituições financeiras que mais adotam o hedge accounting e possibilitam aos agentes econômicos entender as escolhas contábeis praticadas por essas entidades, considerando a sua relevância para a indústria financeira – em especial quanto à necessidade de gestão de riscos e de capital em empresas deste segmento. Adicionalmente, os achados suprem um gap de literatura no que tange ao segmento financeiro, identificando fatores que funcionam como incentivos para a adoção da contabilidade de hedge – prática contábil compatível com o gerenciamento de riscos pelos bancos brasileiros.

Authors: Rigon Letícia , Degenhart Larissa , Ribeiro Ramiro
Published: June 2023

Esta pesquisa buscou analisar as características de país e corporativas que influenciam a divulgação ambiental, social e de governança (ESG) de empresas do Brasil e Alemanha. A metodologia caracteriza-se como descritiva, quantitativa e documental, com a análise do período de 2010 a 2019, de empresas brasileiras da Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão (B3) e alemãs pertencentes a Bolsa de Valores de Frankfurt. Em relação às características de país analisadas (emissões de carbono e PIB), evidenciou-se que as emissões de carbono influenciam positivamente a divulgação ESG de empresas brasileiras e negativamente no cenário de empresas da Alemanha. O PIB apresentou relação negativa com a divulgação ESG das empresas brasileiras. As variáveis corporativas: market to book, liquidez e alavancagem financeira se relacionaram negativamente com a divulgação ESG de empresas do Brasil e Alemanha. O risco do negócio apresentou relação positiva com a divulgação ESG de empresas da Alemanha. Estes resultados revelam que diferentes características de país e corporativas apresentam implicações na divulgação ESG de empresas brasileiras e alemãs. Esta pesquisa contribui para as empresas ao evidenciar quais características de país e corporativas tendem a melhorar a divulgação ESG. Visa promover na literatura maiores discussões a respeito de fatores pouco explorados nos estudos e que tendem a melhorar as ações ambientais, sociais e de governança e, consequentemente, beneficiar as empresas, o meio ambiente e a sociedade. Ademais, adiciona conhecimento à literatura sobre os impactos das características do país e corporativas na divulgação ambiental, social e de governança de empresas de países em desenvolvimento (Brasil) e desenvolvidos (Alemanha).

Published: June 2023

This study examines the effect of country-level governance quality, moderated by culture, on firm performance. The sample included data from 2,511 publicly-traded companies from nine countries from 2009 to 2018, totaling 15,981 firm-year observations. The data to estimate firm performance were collected from the Refinitiv database, while metrics for country governance and cultural dimensions were obtained from the World Bank and Hofstede Insights, respectively. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the relationship between country-level governance indicators and firm performance, including the moderating role of culture. The main results showed that governance indicators have a positive and statistically significant relationship with the performance of the analyzed firms. In most of the estimated models, culture has shown to have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between country governance and performance. This research provides evidence that the governance environment in which firms operate influences their performance, suggesting that managers’ knowledge about the specific organizational environment of regions or countries is vital in the corporate decision-making process.

Background: To study the histogenesis of the prostate gland in human foetuses. ‘Prostates’ is a Greek word which literally means “one who stands before”, protector, guardian. It is important from a clinical point of view as it undergoes benign enlargement from the fifth decade, hence attracting the attention of males around this age and simultaneously the clinicians. Materials and Methods: 100 foetuses of different gestational ages ranging from 14 weeks (85 mm) to 40 weeks (440 mm), products of terminated pregnancies under Medical Termination of Pregnancy, MTP Act of India, 1971 and stillbirths were collected from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, RIMS, (Regional Institute of Medical Sciences), Imphal, Manipur and utilised for the present study with permission from the Institutional Ethical Committee. Results and Discussion: The first sign of differentiation is recognised as increased cellularity and denser mesenchymal cells. Cytoarchitecture at specific age period at different age groups are described. Conclusion: Cytoarchitecturally, differentiation of all the three components of the prostate gland was noted as the age changes. It is inferred that of the three components of the adult tissues, the glandular component is differentiated from the epithelial lining of the urethra. This further induces the early mesenchymal tissues to differentiate into muscles and fibrous components. And at term, it has all the three components of the adult tissues although it is not as mature as in adult. KEY WORDS: Prostate gland, human foetuses, histogenesis and cytoarchitecture.

Background: Exposure to high levels of aluminium (Al) leads to neurotoxicity. Hippocampus is one of the preferred sites of aluminium accumulation. Nevertheless, the role of Al in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains controversial and there is little proof directly interlinking Al to AD. Aims: The present study was undertaken to find out the occurrence of AD pathogenesis in Hippocampus under moderate aluminium exposure in rats. Materials and Methods: Adult rats were divided into control (C) and aluminium treated (E) groups having eight animal each. The rats in group E were exposed to aluminium 4.2 mg/kg body weight for three months with due approval from Institute Animal Ethics Committee. The hippocampus was processed for histopathological and electron microscopy observation. Results: Moderate Al intake produces significant reduction in the count of Pyramidal cells in hippocampus identified by shrunken cells as well as pyknosis in cell bodies. The differences between the cell numbers in all groups were found to be statistically significant (P  0.05). Cornu Ammonis (CA) exhibited significantly reduced nissl bodies with a marked reduction in neuronal cell loss. Neurofibrillary tangle and plaques were not seen in the given dose of Al exposure. Electron microscopy from experimental group showed that the majority of neurons were disintegrating, the nuclear membrane has ruptured, and nucleoli appeared significantly distorted. The chromatin condensed and the mitochondria had disintegrated. Many vacuoles and lipofuscin sediment in cytoplasm, as compared to the control group noted. Conclusion: Present data demonstrated that moderate chronic aluminium exposure 4.2mg/kg body weight induced neurodegeneration in hippocampus but not significant for Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis.

Background: As Anatomical education advances very rapidly, and at the same time, there is huge demand and scarcity of true biological models, mainly brain tissue. In this scenario, in 1977, Guther Von Hagens worked on plastics and experimented voraciously on diffusing various plastics into large specimens and ultimately succeeded and coined the term “Plastination”. This technique is very popular in Western countries as the latter greatly minimizes the health hazards due to formalin exposure while dealing with biological tissue. In continuation with the advancement of expensive plastination to cost-effective resin casting, especially studies over the complex structures like the brain and spinal cord. In This study, we emphasize the cost-effective Resin cast-in-situ method to demonstrate the vasculature of the brain and spinal cord. Materials and Methods: After obtaining the prior permission, we collected the Five (5) Goat heads from the slaughterhouse. Following the standard dissection procedure over the neck region, identified and canulated the major neck vessels. Through the vessels normal saline water, formalin, and pigmented resin were administered and preserved the goat head using routine preservation technique. After 36 to 48 hours, the routine dissection was scheduled to expose the brain and upper spinal cord segments, and finding were captured and recorded. Results and Discussion: The specimens show good penetration of dye in the artery and veins, and it’s easy to appreciate and study the vasculature of the brain and upper spinal cord segments, including the Bastons plexus of veins. Conclusion: In comparison with regular silicon casting, resin casting is very cost-effective and long-lasting, with good penetration of the resin substance up to the capillary level. Furthermore, similar studies may be conducted using in combination with whole organ plastination using silicon and resin embedding.

Introduction: The external laryngeal nerve passes through the “space of Reeve” cricothyroid space. It has also been described as lying in the Joll’s triangle. It is often inadvertently neglected during thyroid surgeries. It has been named after a singer who lost her voice after a thyroid surgery, as the “nerve of Galli Curci” Aim: To identify the dangerous length of the external laryngeal nerve in relation to the thyroid pole. Material and Methods: Fifty laryngeal nerves were dissected using conventional method of dissection, in twenty-five embalmed cadavers used for teaching purpose at Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Madurantakam. The observations were noted and photographs taken. The course and relations were carefully noted. Results: 38 specimens (76%) had the superior laryngeal nerve measuring 4cm. in 8 specimens (16%) it was 3.5 cm and in 04 specimens (8%) it measured 3.8 cm. It was observed that the external laryngeal nerve crossed the superior thyroid pole at less than 1cm only in three (6%) of the fifty nerves. Conclusions: The critical length of the nerve would be dangerous if the nerve crosses the superior thyroid pedicle close to thyroid pole at less than 1 cm. The consequences of neglecting the critical length would injure the nerve and cause dysphonia or raspy voice. KEY WORDS: Thyroid gland, Artery, Nerve, Laryngeal nerve, Pole of the thyroid.

Background: The existing conclusive data show variations in the subtalar joint regarding its morphological features and articulation of bones. Inadequate studies exist on the morphometry of articular surfaces of the talus which may help in surgical interventions and development of implants and prostheses in diverse populations. Purpose: The current study was undertaken to conduct a bilateral comparison of parameters of articulating surfaces of talus. Material and Methods: An observational study design was carried out at one of the private medical colleges in the Pune district of Maharashtra. A total of 100 (fifty-one from right side and forty-nine left-sided tali) dry human talar bones were collected and various dimensions of articular surfaces of bones were measured by Digital Vernier Caliper and Ruler. The data analysis was performed and results were tabulated and presented graphically. Results: There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in bilateral measurements of lateral articular surface height (LASH) of talar bones. The difference was not significant (p>0.05) for all other parameters. Conclusions: The study inferences can be applied as a guide and baseline information for surgical measures, inflammatory disease management, and forensic anthropologists.
