Authors: Nurfaidah Sitti
Published: March 2022

This study is intended to investigate the students’ engagement on teacher’s focused written corrective feedback (FWCF) on their writing in online asynchronous platform. Data gathered from students’ written drafts and reflective journal were analyzed using Ferris’ (2012) FWCF framework as well as sociocultural and activity framework in the online instructional setting. The findings of the study indicate that the students’ cognitive, behavioral, and affective engagement in online asynchronous platform with FWCF portray their learning beliefs as they are exposed to written feedback. Students engagement with online FWCF reveal that such online platform feedback helps students check their progress without time and place boundary. Such feedback also facilitates them to do self-revision because the feedback raises their awareness of their mistakes leading them into more autonomous learners. Moreover, the online platform is considered to be effective due to its mobility. Students’ only complaint is when they are encountered with limited data usage and network around campus.Keywords:Asynchronous; online platform; EFL writing; online corrective feedback

Published: March 2022

This article is motivated by the presence of the character of students during the pandemic, this is due to the lack of interaction of students with teachers which causes character education to be less conveyed. Teachers as the front line in education need to have and develop strategies and methods in learning so that targeted learning can be achieved. This writing intends to find out why Islamic cultural history education has not been able to fully develop the character of students, and how to instill cultural-historical values ​​in developing the character of students during the covid-19 pandemic. This type of research is field research with a qualitative approach. The data in this study were obtained from direct observations, interviews, and literature studies based on previous research articles. Then the data is collected and analyzed to obtain the nature of the cultivation of these character values. The results of this article indicate that Islamic cultural history education has not been able to fully develop the character of students because the material taught is not by the age of student growth, and the application of historical values ​​of Islamic culture to develop the character of students is through exemplary and habituation methods. These examples were obtained from studying the history of the Messenger of Allah during his preaching with his companions (Khulufaurrasyidin).

Authors: Preetha Divya Meenu , Balakumaran Yuva , Pravitha
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Cholesteatomas are lesions that develop in pneumatized areas of the temporal bone, such as the middle ear and mastoid, or both, and are extremely rarely detected in the external auditory canal. Because it has benefits over CT, diffusion weighted imaging MRI (DWI-MRI) can be a useful technique in the identification of cholesteatoma. Image distortion and artefacts are less visible with non-echo planar imaging DWI techniques than with other DWI techniques. Aims and Objectives: 1) To assess the usefulness of HRCT scan in Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) with cholesteatoma in depicting the status of the middle ear structures. 2) To correlate HRCT findings of temporal bone with surgical findings in Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) with cholesteatoma with respect to the following parameters: Presence or absence of cholesteatoma, Extent of cholesteatoma, Status of ossicular chain, Integrity of the facial canal, Detection of erosions or dehisence in the bony labyrinth, and Detection of erosions or dehisence in the dural or sinus plates. 3) Comparison with Non Echo planar imaging diffusion weighted for presence or absence of cholesteatoma. 4) 3D FIESTA Magnetic resonance imaging with 3D reconstruction of membranous vestibule and cochlea for better delineating associated complications. Materials and Methods: Total 40 patients of clinically suspected CSOM with cholestaetoma were enrolled for this study. All patients were scanned using a non-contrast High-resolution computed tomography technique and MRI. HRCT findings were noted according to the proforma. MRI DWI was recorded as either positive or negative for cholesteatoma & directly correlated with post-surgical presence or absence of cholesteatoma.3D FIESTA for detection of membranous labyrinthine erosion/defect was correlated with surgical findings of bony labyrinthine erosions. Results: Cholesteatoma was shown to be common in the third decade of life in our study. The most often implicated middle ear structures in our investigation were the epitympanum, aditus, and antrum. The most often eroded ossicle is the stapes, followed by the incus. The tympanic section of the facial canal is the most often affected segment, while the posterior semicircular canal is the most commonly degraded of the bony labyrinth structures. Conclusion: HRCT temporal bone, in combination with non-echoplanar DWI MRI and 3D Fiesta, can help with accurate diagnosis and pre-operative assessment of cholesteatoma.

Introduction: The Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is considered to be a rare form of druginduced hyperthermia that can be lethal. The major symptoms of NMS are hyperthermia, rigidity that can be unresponsive to anticholinergic drugs, changes in mental status that may range from confusion to profound coma and autonomic dysregulation (for example, profuse sweating, incontinence, changes in heart rate andblood pressure). Objective: In this paper, we present a case report of NMS which developed after the increase of thedose of a first-generation antipsychotic that was used in the treatment of her paranoid schizophrenia. Discussions: Prevalence of NMS is the higher in the first four weeks from the initiation of thetreatment, but cases were reported even at the first administration, so we need a high attention andsupervision in these cases. We synthetize for this case the treatment recommendations and its limitations. Conclusions: NMS can appear in any point of a SRRI treatment, even after 51 years.

Authors: YERLİKAYA Merve , SARACOGLU İsmail
Published: March 2022

Objective: To examine the chronic low back pain (CLBP)-related attitudes and beliefs of primary and secondary healthcare professionals responsible for the treatment of this condition.

Material and Method: The study was conducted with 40 family physicians, 30 physiatrists, and 40 physiotherapists. The beliefs and attitudes of the participants concerning CLBP were evaluated using the Back Belief Questionnaire (BBQ), Health Care Providers’ Pain and Impairment Relationship Scale (HC-PAIRS), and Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists (PABS-PT).

Results: Among all the participants, the rate of those with predominantly biomedical beliefs was 80.9%, while the rate of those with predominantly biopsychosocial beliefs was 15.5%. In addition, it was observed that the BBQ, HC-PAIRS and PABS-PT scores were not affected by educational status, number of patients with CLBP treated or examined in a week, and years of experience (p>0.05). The BBQ and HC-PAIRS scores of the family physicians were statistically significantly lower compared to the physiotherapists and those of the physiotherapists were statistically significantly lower compared to the physiatrists (p0.05).

Conclusion: This study revealed that family physicians, physiotherapists, and physiatrists in Turkey might have negative attitudes and beliefs concerning CLBP and the biopsychosocial approach should be further adopted among healthcare professionals.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: COVID-19 disease spread rapidly worldwide, causing a pandemic. In this study, we aimed to explore the distribution of blood products in our blood center before and during the pandemic by blood type.

Material and Method: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 4,271 blood products (1,290 patients) transfused before and during the pandemic through the medical records of Kastamonu Training and Research Hospital Blood Transfusion Center. Moreover, we investigated the associations between transfusions and age, sex, blood type, and COVID-19 infection.

Results: The findings revealed that the majority of the patients receiving transfusions both before and during the pandemic were A Rh (+) (41.4%). Besides, the rates of those with O Rh (+) were 28.8% and 28.7% during the pandemic. In addition, 37 products (28 erythrocyte suspensions, 7 fresh frozen plasma, 2 pooled platelet suspensions) were transfused on 17 patients with confirmed COVID-19.

Conclusion: Transfusions have an important place in the treatment of critically ill patients. The blood type A Rh (+) was previously shown to be associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 infection. In this study, although we realized that products of blood type A were mostly used in general transfusions, transfusions in the pandemic were performed predominantly with blood products of infected patients with blood type O. The modern world is more likely to encounter further pandemics in the future. We think that each region should evaluate its own centers.
Radiological features of round pneumonia in children: 10 years of experience
Authors: UCAN Berna , ÇINAR Hasibe Gökçe
Published: March 2022

Aim: Round pneumonia (RP) is a type of pneumonia that appears round on imaging studies and usually occurs in children. Although round pneumonia is a well-known clinical condition, few publications available in the literature describing the imaging findings and features of round pneumonia. The purpose of the review was to evaluate the chest radiographs, chest ultrasonography and CT findings associated findings of round pneumonia as compared to the published literature.

Material and Method: 65 children who were diagnosed with round pneumonia in our hospital between December 2010 and July 2020 were included in our study. Initial chest radiographs and CT scans were evaluated for lesion parameters: number, margin, opacity, size, location, and hilar LAP and air bronchogram accompaniment. Follow-up chest radiographs were evaluated for temporal variation (resolution or progression to lobar pneumonia). The findings of the patients who underwent chest ultrasonography were recorded.

Results: The mean age of the 65 children with round pneumonia included was 6.2 years and their ages ranged from 9 months to 16 years. Evaluation of chest radiographs showed one lesion in each of 63 children (96%, 63/65) and two lesions in two children (4%, 2/65). Lesion margins were sharp in 84% (55/65) and the mean diameter of lesions was 2,5 cm with a range of 1.5–9.5 cm. On the radiograph, the opacity of round pneumonia was low (60%, 39/65) and hilar lymphadenopathy was detected in 1 out of 5 patients (20%, 13/65). The location of the lesion tended to be posterior (51%, 33/65) and upper lobe (54%, 35/65). On chest ultrasonography, consalidation was seen in 8 patients, consalidation and pleural effusion were seen in 3 patients. CT images were available in 11 (17%) children. Pleural thickening or satellite lesions were not observed in any of the patients on tomography. Follow-up radiographs tended to show resolution in 95% (62/65) and progression to lobar pneumonia in 4.6% (3/65). 1 patient progressed to lobar pneumonia and died. 2 patients developed cavitary pneumonia.

Conclusion: Round pneumonia is a benign type of pneumonia that is mostly seen in children due to its physiopathology. Most patients with RP recover clinically and radiologically after antibiotic therapy. Although there are many diseases in the differential diagnosis, knowing the radiological features facilitates the diagnosis and prevents unnecessary diagnostic and imaging studies.

Authors: DAŞ Taner , BUĞRA Aytül
Published: March 2022

Aim: The aim of this paper is to survey the COVID-19 research articles in Q1 ranked high SJR index journals according to the SCImago journal rank indicator.

Material and Method: The study was carried out on the website named "https://www.scimagojr.com". The search was conducted by selecting the criteria “medicine”, “pathology and forensic medicine”, “all regions/countries”, “journals”, and the “2020” as the year. Only 50 scientific journals met these criteria. COVID-19-related and unrelated research articles published in these journals were manually scanned. Review articles, book reviews, conferences, commentaries, case reports, mini reviews, short communications, letters to the editor were not included in the study. COVID-19 related research articles were divided into groups in terms of antemortem and postmortem type of the study by reviewing the abstract of the studies and also grouped according to the country of first author and countries of all authors.

Results: A total of 3906 research articles published in 50 journals with Q1 SJR index over 0.887 were investigated. Of these 3906 research articles, 40 of them were related to COVID-19. 31 of these 40 COVID-19 related research articles were antemortem and 9 were postmortem studies. Among these 40 COVID-19 related scientific articles, the first author of publications belonged to 12 countries. United States, Australia, China, and Italy were found to be the most productive countries for published research articles on COVID-19 in selected high SJR index journals. The United States was the country with the highest number of first authors with 15 articles. China was the country with the highest number of multinational author list research articles.

Conclusion: We believe that the number and content of studies conducted in these high-quality scientific journals on COVID-19 make important contributions and understanding in the fields of disease transmission, disease prevention, course and severity of symptoms, pathophysiology, molecular characteristics, and treatment approach processes.

Aim: In our country, the stress experienced by physicians due to their working conditions and intense workload plays a role in the formation of medical errors, therefore, physicians want to protect themselves from litigation processes with defensive medicine practices. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of defensive medicine practices on health service delivery.

Material and Method: In our study, the knowledge and attitudes of a total of 175 dentists working in Dicle University Faculty of Dentistry and Diyarbakir Oral and Dental Health Hospital and its affiliated centers about defensive medicine practices, age, physician (service) duration, gender, institution, title and specialty areas, if any, the relationship was examined using the knowledge level measurement questionnaire. While performing statistical analysis, Chi-square Test was used for comparisons.

Result: It was observed that 32% of the physicians in the 26-40 age group, who constitute the vast majority (71.4%) of the participants in the study, were not aware of the concept of defensive medicine. It was found that 36.6% of the participants, 84.4% of those with 1-5 years of medical experience, and 83.3% of the specialty students with the largest share, with the largest share, did not know this concept at all.

Conclusion: It is found that most of the physicians do not have the necessary knowledge about medical errors and malpractice. While the level of knowledge is increased through in-service training programs, seminars and conferences about malpractice, medical errors, defensive medicine practices, the experience of experienced physicians can be used in preventing and solving problems.

Aim: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led to over 200,000,000 confirmed cases and over 4,250,000 confirmed deaths worldwide. The present study aimed to explore the links between epidemiological, clinical, biochemical, microbiological, and radiological data and treatment responses of inpatients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Material and Method: The study included 131 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia. Laboratory values ​​such as complete blood count, coagulation profile, AST, LDH, sedimentation, CRP, BUN, creatinine, and D-dimer of the patients were analyzed. The diagnosis of COVID-19 was established by RT-PCR testing of respiratory tract samples. Thoracic CT images were used to determine the severity of involvement in patients. Statistical analyses were performed to establish the differences between the groups and the relationships between the variables.

Results: The most common comorbidities of the patients were hypertension (35.1%) and diabetes mellitus (24.5%). The patients with fever, cough, and dyspnea and who were PCR positive had the highest radiological involvement severity score. The involvement severity scores were negatively correlated with the lymphocyte count, lymphocyte percentage, and albumin levels ​​(p
