Abstract. Using peat bogs as palaeoenvironmental archives is a well-established practice for reconstructing changing climate and anthropogenic activity in the past. In this paper, we present multi-proxy analyses (element geochemistry, pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, stable Pb isotopes, humification, ash content) of a 500 cm long, 14C-dated peat core covering the past ∼5000 years from the ombrotrophic Pürgschachen Moor in the Styrian Enns valley (Austrian Alps). Early indications of low settlement and agricultural activity date to ∼2900 cal BCE. An early enrichment of Cu was found in peat layers corresponding to the late Copper Age (∼2500 cal BCE). These enrichments are attributed to Cu mining activities in the Eisenerz Alps. More pronounced increases in cultural indicators (cultivated plants, shrubs, herbs, charcoal) in the pollen record and enrichments of trace metals suggest significant human impact in the vicinity of Pürgschachen Moor in the middle Bronze Age (∼1450–1250 cal BCE), in the late Bronze Age (∼1050–800 cal BCE) and in the period of the late La Tène culture (∼300 cal BCE–1 cal CE). The greater part of the Iron Age and the Roman imperial period are each characterized by a general decline in anthropogenic indicators compared to previous periods. Distinct enrichments of Pb and Sb in the sample that corresponds to ∼900 cal CE are attributed to medieval siderite mining activity in the immediate vicinity of Pürgschachen Moor. The results of this interdisciplinary study provide evidence that strong, climate-controlled interrelations exist between the pollen record, the humification degree and the ash content in an ombrotrophic environment. Human activity, in contrast, is mainly reflected in the pollen record and by enrichments of heavy metals. The study indicates a dry period in the region of the bog around ∼1950 cal BCE.

Correlation of (18F) FDG PET/CT Parameters with Haematological Parameters in Esophageal Cancers and the Effect of These Parameters on Survival
Authors: CAN Canan 
Published: September 2020

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between metabolic (SUVmax) and volume-based (18F)FDG PET/CT parameters (metabolic tumour volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG)) and haematological parameters (neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet,mean platelet volume(MPV) , neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (TLR)) with survival, and whether haematological parameters are correlated with metabolic and volume-based PET parameters.
Method: We included a total of 55 patients who underwent (18F)FDG PET/CT in our nuclear medicine clinic between January 2017 and December 2018 with a diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, had no distant metastasis, either had or did not have regional lymph node metastasis, whose imaging and laboratory data could be retrospectively accessed, who did not undergo an operation before imaging, did not receive chemo-radiotherapy.
Results: In multivariate regression analysis, we found esophageal MTV (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.04–6.57, p: 0.041) and esophageal TLG (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.2–6.2, p: 0.022) values to be independent variables in terms of survival. While we observed a negative correlation between PLR and esophageal MTV and TLG (p values were respectively p: 0.021, p: 0.03), we observed a positive correlation between lymphocyte counts and esophageal MTV and TLG (p values were p: 0.004, p: 0.001, respectively). We detected a positive correlation between the size and SUVmax of lymph node metastasis, on the one hand, and both neutrophil counts and NLR on the other.
Conclusion: We determined MTV and TLG values, which are volume-based metabolic PET parameters, to be independent prognostic factors for survival. MTV and TLG had a negative correlation with PLR and a positive correlation with lymphocyte counts.
New Screening Method For Cervical Cancer- Polar Probe
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Halis , ÇOBAN ŞERBETÇİOĞLU Gonca , AYHAN Ali 
Published: September 2020

Objective: Although extensive screening methods had been developed, cervical cancer remains to be an essential health problem. Early detection and administration of appropriate therapy is still a lifesaving procedure, especially for cervical cancer. The most common screening method for cervical cancer is still the cervical cytology (Pap-test). We aim to find out the advantages and disadvantages of a recently developed method, which is called as Polar Probe.
Methods: Two different approaches had been used (conventional Pap test and Polar Probe), and 1438 patients were included in the study. Of these, 819 had been screened with Polar Probe. All eligible patients were firstly screened using Polar Probe and then using the Pap test. Each patient with an abnormal Polar Probe result was referred to colposcopy room, where she was re-evaluated using colposcopy.
Results: The rate of abnormal smear result was 1.04%, and the corresponding percentage was calculated as 0.62% in LSIL, 0.34% in ASCUS, and 0.069% in HSIL. A total of 819 patients underwent Polar Probe, and the results were abnormal in 261 patients and normal in 558 patients. Abnormality rate was 1% in Pap test and 31.9% in Polar Probe. Although the positive predictive value was 27% for Polar Probe test and 16% for Pap test, as the colposcopy was indicated only for the patients with abnormal results in Polar Probe. The need for colposcopy dramatically increased with the use of Polar Probe.
Conclusion: Use of Polar Probe alone was not found to be cost effective. Combination with other methods of screening would decrease the cost of the process.
