Objective: We aimed to indicate the effectiveness of local anesthesia in the treatment of hydrodistention in women with Bladder Pain Syndrome/interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC) in our study.

Material and Method: The data of a total of 77 female patients who underwent hydrodistention treatment for BPS/IC in our clinic between January 2015 and July 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups as local anesthesia (LA, n=41) and spinal anesthesia (SA, n=36) groups according to the type of anesthesia applied. The groups were compared by determining the preoperative and postoperative O'Leary symptom index (SI) and problem index (PI), minimum voiding volume (MinVV), maximum voiding volume (MaxVV), average voiding volume (AvgVV) and daily frequency.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 48.97±11.09 years in the LA group and 45.19±14.35 years in the SA group (p=0.197). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the preoperative European Society for the Study of Interstitial Cystitis (ESSIC) group (p=0.999). During the postoperative period, a median (IQR) improvement of 11.0 (2.0) points was observed in the SI of the LA group, while a median improvement of 11.0 (2.0) points were observed in the SA group (p=0.437). The median improvement in PI score was 8.4 (4.0) points in the SA group, while it was 7.0 (3.0) points in the LA group (p=0.415). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of improvements in minVV, maxVV, avgVV and daily frequency (p=0.480, p=0.460, p=0.614 and p=0.910, respectively).

Conclusion: Hydrodistention treatment in women with BPS/IC can be performed safely and with high success rate under local anesthesia and it is well tolerated by the patients. Local anesthesia offers a minimally invasive treatment option as well as the advantage of avoiding possible complications of spinal, epidural or general anesthesia.

Published: March 2022

Objective: To evaluate the expression of papillary thyroid carcinoma-associated tumor markers in reactive and dysplastic changes showing papillary thyroid carcinoma-like nuclear features in chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis cases.

Material and Method: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 84 cases diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis based on the analysis of thyroidectomy specimens in our center over the last five years. We classified them as normal, reactive and dysplastic changes and performed an immunohistochemical analysis using HBME-1, Galectin-3, Cytokeratin 19, and Cyclin D1.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 45.5 years, and 68 were female and 16 were male. According to the morphological features, 42.9% of the were classified to have normal morphology, 44.0% reactive atypia, and 13.1% follicular epithelial dysplasia (FED). Of the chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis cases, 42.9% were associated with malignancy, with the most common accompanying malignancy being papillary thyroid cancer (36.9%). Immunohistochemically: for HBME-1, FED (72.7%) was higher (p
Common variable immunodeficiency from the perspective of rheumatology
Authors: YUCE INEL Tuba , CAN Gercek
Published: March 2022

Aim: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by impaired B cell differentiation and immunoglobulin production. In addition to increased susceptibility to infection, patients with CVID have an increased tendency to autoimmune disease. Immune dysregulation in these patients may lead to granulomatous disease, malignancy, allergy and autoimmune manifestations. In this study, it was aimed to increase the awareness of rheumatologists about the main signs and symptoms of CVID.

Material and Method: Adult patients followed in the rheumatology department between January 2015 and September 2021 were included in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics (infections, pulmonary and extrapulmonary granulomatous involvement, autoimmune manifestations), laboratory and imaging findings and treatments of the patients were analyzed.

Results: Ten adult patients with CVID were included in the study. At least one autoimmune manifestation was observed in 80% of the patients. In the follow-up period, 40% of the patients developed arthritis. Involvement of lower extremity joints such as knee and ankle was more prominent. While all patients were given 0.8 g/kg/3 weeks of intravenous immunoglobulin, 80% required immunosuppressive therapy for autoimmune manifestations.

Conclusion: Autoimmune diseases can be seen in patients with CVID, and sometimes this may be the first presentation of CVID. Heterogeneous clinical findings of the disease may lead to delay in diagnosis. Clinicians should be more careful about the different manifestations of CVID to avoid delay in diagnosis.
Myeloperoxidase deficiency: a single center experience
Authors: ARMAN BİLİR Özlem , ÖZBEK Namık Yaşar
Published: March 2022

Aim: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency is the most common inherited defect of phagocytes. In this article, we aimed to reveal clinical characteristics of our patients with primary MPO deficiency.

Material and Method: In our study, patients aged 0-18 years, who were consulted to Ankara City Hospital Pediatric Hematology Department between 1 October 2019 and 1 December 2021 due to neutropenia, were retrospectively examined. If a patient had neutropenia in the complete blood count and inconsistently normal neutrophil count in the peripheral blood smear formula it was accepted as pseudoneutropenia. Patients with pseuduneutropenia were included in the study.

Results: Fifteen patients diagnosed with MPO deficiency were analyzed in the study. Nine of the patients were female, 6 were male, median age of the patients was 7 (0 – 17.5) years. The mean white blood cell (WBC) count of the patients was reported as 8219±2879/mm3, and the mean neutrophil count and percentage in the complete blood count printout was 33.30±15.88/mm3 and 0,74%±0, 94% respectively. The mean neutrophil count and percentage counted in the peripheral blood smear were 5186±1710 and 63.8%±10.59%, respectively. The mean LUC value on the complete blood count printout was 54.35%±19.47% (Normal range, 0-4%). In the flow cytometry evaluation of peripheral blood samples of the patients, it was observed that neutrophils were stained with CD33, CD13, CD16, CD11b monoclonal antibodies but not with MPO.

Conclusion: Peripheral smear evaluation is important when investigating the etiology of neutropenia. Many hematology analyzers using the MPO staining technique are indicative of MPO deficiency by identifying large unstained cells that do not stain with MPO. In patients who present with recurrent infections and MPO deficiency, other reasons that may predispose to infections should be investigated.

Authors: KAVAK Nezih , ALTAN Mehmet
Published: March 2022

Introduction: In kidney transplantation (KT) practice, improvements in patient care led to increased graft and patient survival. This study aimed to determine the symptomatology of KT patients presenting to emergency department (ED), their final diagnoses, and outcomes.

Material and Method: Data including demographic data (age and gender), chief complaints (CCs), number of ED presentations, ED presentation date, KT date, donor type (live/deceased), patient disposition (discharge/admission), final diagnosis, and outcomes (acute renal graft dysfunction/graft loss/death) were retrieved and analyzed.

Results: Twenty-five KT patients presented to ED during the study period. These patients presented to ED for 46 times with 50 CCs. Fever was the most frequent CC (20%). The ED presentation led to a final diagnosis of infection in 32 presentations (69.4%). The most frequent infection was urinary tract infection (UTI) (26.1%) followed, by acute gastroenteritis (17.4%) and upper respiratory tract infection (17.4%). Acute graft dysfunction was the most common “non-infectious diagnosis” (17.4%) followed by cardiovascular disease (8.5%). The ED presentation led to admission in 32.6% (15/46) of the cases. Among 15 admissions, 7 (46.7%) were due to UTI. No rejections, graft loss, or mortality occurred following any ED presentations.

Conclusion: When evaluating KT patients in the ED, physcians should bear in mind that they could have an infectious pathology that is often associated by fever, also they should check for acute graft dysfunction and cardiac pathologies.
The prevalence of anemia in elderly patients: a cross-sectional study
Authors: YILDIZ Jale , SARIÇAM Orkun
Published: March 2022

Introduction: As the elderly population continues to increase, physiological changes and pathological conditions in old age have started to attract more attention. Anemia is a common public health problem in both developed and developing countries. Many studies have emphasized the negative effects of anemia on poor physical performance, susceptibility to falls, impaired cognitive function and death in the elderly. Considering the classification of anemia, a substantial amount of unexplained anemia in the elderly population raises the question of whether this is a natural consequence of aging. Our aim in this study is to reveal the frequency of anemia in the geriatric population and to classification.

Material and Method: This retrospective cohort study was conducted with the evaluation of patients admitted to the internal medicine outpatient clinic of a secondary state hospital in Ankara. All patients over the age of 65 who applied to the internal medicine outpatient clinic with different complaints between December 2020 and September 2021 and had a hemogram test were evaluated for eligibility for the study.

Results: Anemia was present in 103 of 1210 patients over 65 years of age included in our study. In our study group, the frequency of anemia was 8.5%. The median age of patients with anemia was 73 (65-93) years, and 60.1% (n=62) of these patients were women. The number of patients with at least one comorbidity was 74 (71.8%). The most common type of anemia in patients with anemia was iron deficiency anemia (n=47, 45.6%). Anemia of chronic disease (n=16, 15.5%) was the second most common anemia, and anemia due to vitamin b12 deficiency (n=4, 3.8%) and folic acid deficiency (n=3, 2.9%) was less common. The rate of unexplained anemia was 27.2% (n=28).

Conclusion: It was revealed in our study that anemia is a common health problem in elderly patients in our society, and that unexplained anemia can be seen at a substantial rate. The prevalence of anemia of approximately 10% in our study gives the message that anemia is an important public health problem for the elderly population and that health care providers should be careful in terms of preventive and therapeutic measures.

Authors: ÖTEN Erol
Published: March 2022

Aim: The most frequent type of peripheral entrapment neuropathy is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist level. Ultrasound (US) and low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) are among the most commonly used physical therapy methods in the treatment of CTS. The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of US and LILT in the treatment of CTS and their superiority to each other.
Material and Method: Patients who were admitted to the physical therapy program with the diagnosis of CTS in our clinic were retrospectively examined. A total of eleven patients (18 wrists) diagnosed with mild and moderate CTS were included in our study with the G-Power program with a 5 % margin of error and 80 % power. Patients were divided into US and LILT groups using a simple randomization method. The patients were evaluated in terms of clinical and electrophysiological parameters before and after treatment.
Results: A total of 18 wrists were included in our study, of which eight patients were diagnosed with mild CTS and the rest (n=10) with moderate CTS. The mean age of the patients was 49.66±10.68 years. When the post-treatment clinical (Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ), hand and pinch grip strength, measurement of wrist joint range of motion) and electrophysiological parameters were evaluated between the US and LILT groups, no significant difference was found in terms of their superiority over each other (p>0.05). When the LILT group was compared before and after treatment, a statistically significant difference was found in the degree of wrist extension, handgrip strength and BCTQ parameters. (p

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Behçet’s disease (BD) is an autoimmune, multisystemic vasculitis characterized by chronic inflammation. Autoimmune responses in BD could drive chronic inflammation which is a risk for malignant transformation. Some genetic, environmental, clinical features and immunosuppressive treatments in BD may increase the risk of malignancy. Common genetic factors and similar environmental factors play a role in the pathogenesis of some autoimmune diseases and malignancies. We hypothesized that the frequency of comorbidity and clinical features of BD may differ in BD patients with a family history of malignancy. So, we aimed to compare the demographic and clinical characteristics features of the BD patients with and without a family history of malignancy.

Material and Method: The BD patients who admitted the rheumatology outpatient clinic consecutively were included in the study. The demographic and clinical characteristics, comorbidities including malignancy in BD patients and malignancies in their family were questioned. The acute phase reactant elevation of at least two follow-ups was accepted as chronic inflammation.

Results: A total of 98 patients (57% male) were included. Mean age was 43.5±12.3 years. The frequency of comorbidity was 60% and malignant/premalignant lesions were seen in 5% of the patients. All lesions were solid organ related and all of them were in women. History of BD and malignancy in patients' families was found 28% and 38%, respectively. The patients with and without malignancy in their family were compared. Female gender and the frequency of erythema nodosum were higher in the patients with malignancy in their family. The other demographic and clinical characteristics, chronic persistent inflammation and medical treatments were statistically. not different

Conclusion: Frequency of malignancy in BD patients’ family was evaluated and to the best of our knowledge, there was no literature data on this subject interestingly. The family history of malignancy in BD patients could be associated with clinical characteristics. Further prospective studies were needed to show the clinical effect of malignancy history in families.

Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic with potential life-threatening outcomes. The current study aims to demonstrate the effect of tocilizumab in COVID-19 related cytokine storm.

Material and Method: This retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated the patients who received tocilizumab for COVID-19 related cytokine storm between March and August 2020. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings were recorded. Computerized tomography (CT) scans, which were performed before tocilizumab infusion were scored. The characteristics of the patients who survived versus those who did not survive were assessed.

Results: There was a total of 137 patients, 99 (72.3%) male and 38 (27.7%) female, with a median age of 62 years. Eighty-six (62.7%) patients had severe; 51 (37.2%) patients had critical disease course. The mortality rate was 24.1%. Higher mortality rates were present among patients older than 65 years, females, and with comorbid diseases (p=0.02, p=0.031, and p=0.01, respectively). The non-survived group had higher rates of mechanical ventilation (MV) support (85.2%) and admission to the intensive care unit (58.8%) (p

Published: March 2022

Aim: The aim of our study is to examine early and late preterm placental calcification (PPC) and compare their relationship with maternal calcium, magnesium and 25(OH) D levels and adverse obstetric outcomes.

Material and Method: This prospective cohort study was conducted by examining the pregnant women at their 24th to 36th gestational weeks who applied to the Gynecology Department of Okmeydani Training and Research Hospital. In this study, 207 patients were selected as the study group.

Results: When the early and late PPC groups were compared, rates of low birth weight (LBW) was statistically higher in the early PPC group. (p=0.022) Oligohydramnios was more common in the early and late PPC patients compared to non-PPC pregnant women. However, oligohydramnios and LBW were not found statistically significant difference in logistic regression analysis. There was also no statistically significant difference in maternal calcium, magnesium and vitamin D levels between the groups.

Conclusion: Preterm placental calcifications might be associated with fetal and maternal complications. But the diagnosis of PPC alone is not effective in determining fetal prognosis.
Significant and nonsignificant findings on magnetic resonance imaging of patients with headache
Authors: YÜKSEL Hatice , TUTAL GÜRSOY Görkem , BEKTAŞ Hesna
Published: March 2022

Aim: The great majority of people suffer from headaches. Neuroimaging has a very limited role in determining the etiology of headache However, neuroimaging, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is requested for the vast majority of patients with headache. We aimed to determine the frequency of clinically significant and nonsignificant findings on brain MRI in patients with headache, and the factors associated with these findings.

Material and Method: A total of 350 patients (231 women and 119 men), who underwent MRI examinations for headache complaints, were included in the study. Based on the evaluation of lesions detected on MRI and headache characteristics together, lesions associated with headache were classified as significant findings, and lesions unrelated to headache were classified as nonsignificant findings. Patients were compared in terms of brain MRI findings on the basis of age, gender, and duration of headache complaints.

Results: Assessment of brain MRIs revealed normal findings in 211 (60.3%) patients, nonsignificant findings in 122 (34.8%) patients, and significant findings that could cause headache in 17 (4.9%) patients. The most common significant lesions were acute sinusitis, acute cerebrovascular accident, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and aneurysm. In patients over 65 years of age, the frequency of significant findings was significantly higher (p:0.001). The frequency of significant findings was higher in male patients and patients with a headache duration of less than one month, but there was no statistical difference (p:0.452 and p:0477).

Conclusion: We found significant findings on brain MRI in approximately 5% of patients with headache. Being over 65 years old and acute onset headache increase the probability of detecting significant lesions on MRI. Despite its low diagnostic value, physicians will often refer patients with headaches to neuroimaging for fear of missing a critical underlying lesion and encountering medico-legal issues. Taking into account worrying red flags can increase the likelihood of finding significant lesions.

Authors: AKÇA Hatice Şeyma , ÖZDEMİR Serdar , ALGIN Abdullah , ALTUNOK İbrahim
Published: March 2022

Aim: Our objective is to investigate the effect of geriatric pulmonary embolism severity index score on mortality independent of age and to compare it with pulmonary embolism severity index and simplified pulmonary embolism severity index.

Material and Method: This is a retrospective observational study including patients over 65 years of age diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, who presented to the emergency medicine clinic of tertiary hospital between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2021. The relationship between the original PESI and 30-day mortality was evaluated, and age was removed from the original score in the G-PESI. A univariate analysis of PESI, s-PESI, and G-PESI was performed using the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, Student’s t-test, and Mann–Whitney U test as appropriate to determine the association of these scores with 30-day mortality. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0.

Results: This study included 167 patients, of whom 113 (67.7%) were women. According to the diagnostic test performance analysis report, the pulmonary embolism severity index, simplified pulmonary embolism severity index and geriatric pulmonary embolism severity index scores were statistically significant in predicting mortality, with the area under the curve values of 0.736 (0.34-1.91), 0.635 (0.74-1.81), and 0.739 (0.50-2.18) at the cut-off values of >110, >2, and >40, respectively (p

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a condition in which there is a sudden cessation of blood supply to a particular intestinal segment and consequent cellular damage. Although it has a low incidence of approximately 0.09-0.2% of all emergency surgery admissions, AMI is a severe condition that can cause high early mortality. A direct relationship between an increased mean platelet volume (MPV) and acute thrombotic events has been shown in recent years. we aimed to find out whether the diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia and the amount of bowel segment affected by ischemia will guide clinicians preoperatively with these markers

Material and Method: A total of 57 cases with bowel resection due to mesenteric ischemia were included in the study. The gender, age, serum platelet (PLT), MPV, white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NEU), lymphocyte count (LYM), Albumin, CRP, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), MPV/Platelet Count, and CRP-albumin ratio (CAR) levels at the time of admission, operation time, length of resected bowel segment, length of hospital stay, presence of necrosis and perforation from pathology reports, and length of bowel segment leading to necrosis were scanned.

Results: A moderate (moderate) negative correlation was found between the length of resected bowel segment and PLT (P

Published: March 2022

The issue of earnings management in public listed companies has gained an increasing attention from academicians and policy makers due to its impact on stakeholders’ decision-making. Researchers found that the main factors influencing earnings management can be grouped under internal and external corporate governance aspects. This study proposed a comprehensive model combining some internal and external corporate governance factors affecting earnings management. Based on a review and synthesis of relevant literature, the current study concludes that audit committee characteristics, auditor reputation and audit opinion have a significant impact on earnings management. Further, we predict that auditor reputation has a potential mediating role on the relationship between audit committee characteristics and earnings management, and on the relationship between audit committee characteristics and audit opinion. This research extends the scholarship on earnings management literature and has the potential to provide a set of recommendations to investors and regulatory entities.

Research was conducted to elaborate the development problematics through sharia cooperative as the Sharia financial institution of Waqf money (LKS PWU) in the 4.0 era. The potential waqf of money is not yet rolled out and the maximum benefit is so that waqf of money has not been able to contribute significantly to national development. This research is a qualitative research (qualitative research) that is descriptive normative that is the depiction of the true state based on data obtained either through literature studies and field studies associated with existing laws and regulations. The results concluded that the existence of sharia cooperative in its role as LKS PWU is indeed quite well established with the support of existing legislation with the record of continuing the Repair process (Amendment) to support the development of waqf productivity. However, at the level of practice, it turns out that the authority is not fully usable, so mathematically the potential of waqf money so large has not been maximally absorbed by the LKS PWU on sharia banking institutions and sharia cooperatives where the level of literacy and community inclusion regarding Waqf money is very low plus the preference of community in choosing Sharia cooperative as LKS PWU is also very low so it takes integrated effort involving all stakeholders in raising these three qualifications and The Waqf law to better accommodate the role of LKS PWU including sharia cooperative in bridging the community to Waqf.

Polazeći od širih pitanja o pedagogiji primjerenoj metodologiji istraživanja i mogućnostima njezina posredovanja u okviru kolegija o kvalitativnim metodama istraživanja u studiju pedagogije, u radu se usmjeravam na analizu pedagogičnosti autoetnografije. Nakon kratkog predstavljanja autoetnografije kao specifične metode istraživanja i vrste teksta, slijedi prikaz njezine sve ekstenzivnije primjene u kontekstu obrazovanja i profesionalnog razvoja odgojno-obrazovnih djelatnika. U centralnome dijelu rada, služeći se primjerom autoetnografskoga seminarskog zadatka koji studenti realiziraju u kolegiju o kvalitativnoj metodologiji istraživanja koji izvodim, detaljnije razlažem mogućnosti primjene autoetnografije u razvoju istraživačkih vještina i dispozicija budućih pedagoga-istraživača. Pritom autoetnografiju ne promatram samo kao vrstu kvalitativnoga istraživanja, već i kao oblik uspostavljanja autentičnog pedagoškog odnosa između nastavnika i studenata. Rad završavam promišljanjem o svrhovitosti opisane nastavne prakse i širim implikacijama primjene autoetnografije u poučavanju (metodologijskih kolegija) u studiju pedagogije.

Структурні зрушення в глобальній і внутрішній економіці зміцнюють значення саме тих галузей, які мають соціальний напрямок. Саме постійний розвиток підприємств ресторанного господарства та якість їх послуг свідчать про зростання гідного рівня життя в країні. Сьогодні підприємства ресторанного господарства все більше уваги приділяють відстеженню та аналізу якості послуг обслуговуючого персоналу. Сьогодні для ефективної роботи та розвитку підприємств ресторанного господарства недостатньо мати досконалі бізнес-процеси. Враховуючи постійно прискорювані темпи технологічних і соціальних змін, здатність компаній швидко адаптуватися до нових ситуацій і динамічно приймати ефективні рішення є надзвичайно важливим. Насправді, виживання індустрії ресторанного господарства в постіндустріальну епоху залежить більше від характеристик системи управління, ніж ефективності виробничої системи, хоча остання ситуація також важлива.

Стаття присвячена актуальним питанням визначення конкурентних переваг сучасних аптечних закладів і управління ними. Авторами відзначено, що конкурентні переваги – це характеристики, властивості товару або марки, які створюють для організації певні переваги над своїми безпосередніми конкурентами. На їх формування мають вплив відповідні чинники макро- та мікросередовища. Спираючись на проведені соціологічні дослідження сучасними науковцями було відзначені найбільш важливі умови та фактори, що впливають на формування конкурентних переваг сучасних аптечних закладів та аптечних мереж. Авторами зазначено, що під управлінням конкурентними перевагами слід розуміти свідомий процес їх формування з метою адаптації аптечного закладу до вимог зовнішнього середовища і забезпечення його довгострокового успіху. З метою вдосконалення процесу управління конкурентними перевагами було запропоновано алгоритм перетворення сильних сторін аптечного закладу у конкурентні переваги.
