Authors: Abaklı Inci Merve , Ağmaz Onur , Özer Hazal
Published: November 2021

Aim: Determination of dental students' approaches to fissure sealant applications; the widespread use and evaluation of their effectiveness of protective dental practices is extremely important. This research aims to evaluate the level of understanding and clinical attitudes of 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students of Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Dentistry on preventive dental treatments. Methods: The first part of the questionnaire consists of 10 questions aimed at assessing the students' technical levels of knowledge with data on age, gender and educational level. In the second section analyzing students' clinical behaviors, 11 questions were asked for answers to multiple choices (always, often, sometimes, never). This questionnaire was used on the internet in an anonymous way. Results: The questionnaire was received by 68 3rd grade, 67 4th grade and 75 5th grade students who were previously educated on fissure sealant applications. The vast majority (96.2 percent) of the students involved in the study indicated that the effectiveness of fissure sealants in preventing the development of tooth decay was confirmed by strong scientific evidence. Again, 99.5 percent of the students participating in the study indicated that the justification of the application procedures for the fissure sealant was identified and understood. With the assumption that only new teeth can be applied to fissure sealants, a statistically significant difference between the classes was observed (p<0.05); 3rd graders responded "yes" mainly. Conclusion: Although dental students have sufficient knowledge of protective dental practices and fissure sealants, variations in understanding and implementing clinical practice procedures may be found between classes. Standardization should be provided and education / lectures on preventive dental practices should be increased to obtain the equivalent of theoretical education at the clinical level.

Published: December 2021

As all branches of the medicine, the obstetrical and gynecological clinical approach has been greatly affected by the pandemic. In our study, we aimed to reveal the effect of the pandemic on current obstetrics and gynecologic clinical approach and urgency/semi-urgency evaluations of physicians related with both obstetrical and gynecological cases. The obstetricians in Turkey from different hospitals and clinics have completed our online questionnaire-based survey using ‘docs.google.com’. The survey questionnaire was created in three sections: Demographic, occupational analysis and thoughts about outbreak, clinical approach scale and clinical urgency scale. SPSS 22 program was used to analyze the validity and reliability of the scales. The outbreak has affected the clinical approach according to our study. The effect degree was 3.79, 3.15, 3.72 respectively at clinical effect, clinical functioning and struggle and prevention. The specialists regardless of the year in the occupation were more affected than research assistants in terms of clinical effect (p=0.017) and also postponed obstetrical (p=0.000) and gynecological (p=0.000) conditions more frequently. As the effect of the pandemic on clinical functioning increases, the delay of gynecological cases increases. With the postponement of obstetrics cases, the probability of delaying gynecological cases increases. In the current study, it was concluded that the pandemic has affected the clinical approach in obstetrics and gynecology clinics. We think that the study will help in determining our approach to obstetrical and gynecological cases in the future. Scenarios should be made patient-centered without neglecting the burden and possible damages on healthcare professionals.

Published: December 2021

To determine the effect of local endometrial injury on implantation success in patients diagnosed with unexplained infertility and undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) after ovulation induction with gonadotropins. In this prospective randomized controlled trial, 82 infertile patients underwent IUI following ovulation induction with gonadotropin. In the study group (n:40), local endometrial injury (stratch) was performed to the posterior side of the endometrial cavity with a biopsy catheter between the 21-26th days of luteal phase of the cycle preceding ovarian stimulation. There was no statistically significant difference between the study and the control groups in terms of age of female, age of male, duration of infertility, BMI, serum FSH and LH levels, mean dose of gonadotropin and mean duration of ovulation induction (p>0.05). Clinical pregnancy was achieved in two patients (4.76%) in control group and four (10%) patients in the study group, with no significant difference between groups (p=0.18). All pregnancies achieved in the control and the study groups passed 12th gestational weeks and continued. Ectopic pregnancy, multiple pregnancy and abortion was not observed in any patient in both groups. In the study group, pain level immediately after endometrial biopsy procedure was evaluated with visual analog scale (VAS) and it was established that only one (2.5%) patient experienced severe pain after the procedure. Although local endometrial damage in the menstural period before ovulation induction and IUI cycle increases clinical pregnancy rates in the infertile patients, this increase is not statistically significant. Multi-center randomized controlled studies are needed for local endometrial damage to be recommended routinely in clinical practice.

Published: December 2021

The main object of this study is to evaluate the psychological status of chronic pain patients (CPP) and describe the characteristics and frequency of psychological disorders of CPP. Two hundred sixty-three patients with complaints of chronic pain longer than 1 year and fifty healthy volunteers were included in the study. Patients with cancer were not included. Turkish version of Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL- 90-R) was used for the assessment of the psychological status of participants. CPP were divided into 5 subgroups regarding their painful regions: Headache, cervical or upper extremity pain, axial or radicular back pain, lower extremity pain, and diffuse pain. Global severity index (GSI) and subscales of SCL-90-R were analyzed. In CPP, GSI and almost all subscale scores of SCL-90-R were significantly higher than the control group. Headache patients had worse psychological symptoms than other subgroups of CPP. SCL-90-R scores of female patients were significantly higher than males. 24.7% of patients had moderate and 14.8% had severe psychological symptoms. While the intensity of the pain had a moderate correlation with increased psychological symptoms, the level of education and age had a weak negative correlation with SCL- 90-R scores. Patients with chronic pain are convenient to have phycological symptoms. While almost half of the patients have increased psychological symptoms, the degree of the symptoms can be serious in some of them. Thus, treatment of chronic pain necessitates a multidisciplinary approach.

Authors: AKGÖR Utku , KİRAT Samet , TOK C. Ekrem
Published: December 2021

To evaluate whether tubal sterilization (TS) has an adverse effect on menopausal age in a cohort of postmenopausal women. The medical records on TS were gathered from 1,228 postmenopausal women in menopause clinic at a tertiary hospital. The age at menarche, the parity, smoking and secondhand smoking status and mother’s age at menopause did not show any significant difference between the groups. Likewise, marital status, educational and yearly income levels were comparable (P > 0.01). Although the mean BMI (P = 0.06) and the rate of oral contraceptive use (P = 0.09) were tended to be higher in non-TS women than in TS group, the difference did not reach statistical significance. The ever use of intrauterine device rate was significantly lower in TS group than in non-TS group (P <0.001). The TS women, in comparison with the non-TS women had undergone earlier natural menopause (P <0.001). The age at menopause had an inverse correlation with TS, and positive correlation with mother’s age at menopause in univariate analyses. However, there was marginally significant correlation between secondhand smoking and age at menopause. Linear stepwise regression analyses revealed that TS and mother’s age at menopause were independent predictors of age at menopause (P < 0.05). We found an earlier age at menopause in women with TS in this study. In this regard, this is the first report about the age at menopause in women with TS, as far as we know.

Published: December 2021

The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of intramuscular meperidine on shortening of the active phase of labor, the neonatal outcome and the rate and severity of perineal lacerations in term pregnant women in the first stage of labor. A total of 571 primiparous term pregnant women delivered vaginally were included into this retrospective study. In 437 of them, meperidine (100 mg IM) at the beginning of the active phase was administered and 134 women did not receive any meperidine dose. The length of labor phases, obstetric lacerations, and neonatal outcomes were recorded. The results of this study showed that meperidine could be used safely as an obstetric analgesic with its additional benefit of shortening the active phase of the first stage and second stage of labor without increased risk of obstetric lacerations and perinatal adverse outcomes. In case of limited use of neuraxial analgesia in a busy state maternity hospital, intramuscular meperidine administration as obstetric analgesia seems beneficial in reducing the length of the active phase of the first stage of labor and the second stage of labor without adversely affecting obstetric lacerations and neonatal outcomes.

Authors: Chatalov Athanas , Hristova Dilyana
Published: December 2021

Karst caverns in the Upper Triassic dolostones of the Rusinovdel Formation are filled with allochthonous clastics (brecciaconglomerates with maximum boulder size) and locally with speleothems (flowstones). Deposition of the former (diamicton facies) by debris flows resulted from extreme flood events along the upper reaches of Struma river. The polymict material reflects erosion of various rock types in the source area but is dominated by resedimented Lower Triassic red beds. The diamictons are more or less similar to the few known examples from Quaternary karst caves.

Published: November 2021

Morocco has been experiencing significant climatic disturbances in recent decades. The climate change issue arises mainly in terms of water deficits induced by the decrease in rainfall received and the increase in temperature. The objective of this study is to characterize the drought temporal and spatial distribution and severity within local agro-climatic zones of Settat Province. The study area extends over a distance of 85 km from North to South and concerns three agro-climatic zones. The Standardized Precipitation Index was used for drought analysis and characterization in the three zones for 107 years of rainfall data. Results show that numbers of normal average years are declining, dry years are increasing and humid years are declining in three zones. However, the SPI changes over time are not similar for the three zones, that is, the rainfall deficit is taking place more in the “Favorable Rain-fed” zone and to a low degree in the “Intermediate Rain-fed” but not in the ‘Less Favorable” zone.

Background: Homosexual identification among women as lesbian, bisexual or transgender does not encompass the whole pool of women who practice same-sex behavior. Straight women especially youths are more increasingly willing to have sex with fellow women. This article establishes the reasons that influence same-sex orientation and behaviors among women in Tanzania. It explores the self-reported push/pull reasons that ultimately leads women to same-sex behavior among sampled through individuals. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive and retrospective study which was conducted in Dar es Salaam between January and February, 2021. The participants of the study were WSW, proxy WSW, and women who at one time had female same-sex relationships. The study also used community members aged 18 years and above but only those who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through qualitative in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, interviews, and life stories. All the data generated through the study were analyzed thematically. Results: The findings indicate that women who practice same-sex behavior believe that their behavior occurs naturally through biological reasons. Some of them attribute earlier negative experiences with men as a trigger to opt out of heterosexual sex. Most participants also cited past unpleasant sexual experiences with men such as rape, being emotionally detached from men as factors that lead to developing desires to have sex with fellow women. Conclusion: There are biological and social-economic factors that lead women to practice same-sex behaviors. Women, who are born with male attributes become sexually unattracted to males, opt to engage in same-sex practices because of displeasure from having sex with men. Further, economic hardships in societies force women to engage in same-sex practices through peers who are financially well-off and are searching for peers to exploit sexually. Research should focus on investigating peer influence and social media’s effects on women’s decision to engage in same sex practices.
