Published: March 2023

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the Fowler position and prone position on oxygen saturation in patients receiving treatment in clinics with the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease.
Method: A total of 40 patients, admitted to the pandemic ward who met the inclusion criteria, were included in the quasi-experimental type study without any sampling. The patients were first given the Fowler position and then the prone position. There was a time interval of 15 minutes wait between the two positions. For each position, peripheral oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory and blood pressure values were obtained at initial position placement, after the 30th minute and every hour for the first four hours.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 57.57±12.64 years. Respiratory distress, cough, fever, weakness, sweating and headache were the main symptoms. A total of 22.5% of them had a diagnosis of hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus. The requirement for the positioning was found to be 95% in the first five days after admittance. After treatment, 85% of them were discharged home. The mean oxygen saturation values of the patients for every hour in the Prone position were 93.15±1.718 (p=0.035), 93.60±1.809 (p=0.019), 93.93±1.774 (p=0.006) and 94.15±1.718 (p=0.002), respectively in the first four hours. These findings were statistically significant compared to the Fowler position. Respiratory values
in the prone position were 17.30±1.159 (p=0.005), 17.20±1.344 (p=0.010), 17.20±1.181 (p=0.005), and 17.05±1.280 (p=0.001), respectively in the first four hours, which were statistically lower than in the Fowler position. There was no significant difference in the mean heart rate and blood pressure in both positions (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The prone position was found to have a positive effect on oxygen saturation levels when Fowler and Prone positions were applied in patients receiving treatment with the diagnosis of COVID-19 in hospital wards. Therefore, it is recommended that patients admitted with the diagnosis of COVID-19 be placed in the prone position at regular intervals.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between pregnancy-related low back pain, kinesiophobia, and physical activity during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Methods: Fifty-one pregnant women between the ages of 18-40, at the gestational age of 27 weeks and above were included in the study. The intensity of pregnancy-related low back pain was assessed with the Numerical Pain Scale, kinesiophobia with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, and physical activity levels with the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
Results: Only 4 (7.8%) subjects had high levels of physical activity, 12 (23.5%) had moderate, and 35 (68.6%) had low levels of physical activity. A strong positive correlation was found between low back pain and kinesiophobia in the third trimester of pregnancy (r = 0.796; p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between low back pain and physical activity or between kinesiophobia and physical activity (r=– 0.097; p= 0.498 and r= – 0.212; p= 0.135 respectively).
Conclusion: Pregnancy-related low back pain can cause kinesiophobia during pregnancy, and kinesiophobia may cause limitations of movements. Considering the negative effects of pregnancy-related low back pain and kinesiophobia during pregnancy, the evaluation of pain, and kinesiophobia by health professionals is important during this period.

Authors: EKİCİ Ömer 
Published: March 2023

Objective: Odontogenic infections are one of the most common pathologies in the oral and maxillofacial regions. The spread of odontogenic infections after unsuccessful or late treatment can lead to serious complications. The aim of this study is to examine the epidemiological features and treatment management of patients with odontogenic facial abscesses.
Methods: This retrospective study included 88 patients with odontogenic facial area abscesses treated at Afyonkarahisar health sciences university, faculty of dentistry’s maxillofacial surgery clinic between 2019-2021. The socio-demographic, socio-economic characteristics and clinical examination findings of the patients and treatment methods for odontogenic abscess were analyzed comprehensively. Data were
evaluated using SPSS-20 and the level of significance was set at p < .05.
Results: In the two-year period between 2019 and 2021, 88 patients (44 male and 44 female, mean age was 39.72±16.42) were treated for diffuse facial infections of odontogenic origin. The most commonly involved area was the submandibular area (38.6%), the most affected tooth was mandibular 1st molar and mandibular 3rd molars (18.2%), and the most common cause was dental caries (65.90%). Incision and drainage were performed in half of the patients (36.4% intraoral, 13.6% extraoral). The most commonly used drugs were clindamycin (36.4%), amoxicillin-clavulanate, and ornidazole combination (27.3%).
Conclusion: The results of this study confirm that odontogenic abscesses can heal without complications with timely and effective basic interventions such as incision and drainage. In this study, successful results were obtained with the parenteral clindamycin, and a combination of oral amoxicillin-clavulanate and ornidazole in the treatment of odontogenic abscesses.

ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate the activity of PBTZ169 and pretomanid against non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis (NTM) in vitro and in vivo.MethodsThe minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 11 antibiotics, against slow-growing mycobacteria (SGMs) and rapid-growing mycobacteria (RGMs) were tested using the microplate alamarBlue assay. The in vivo activities of bedaquiline, clofazimine, moxifloxacin, rifabutin, PBTZ169 and pretomanid against four common NTMs were assessed in murine models.ResultsPBTZ169 and pretomanid had MICs of &gt;32 μg/mL against most NTM reference and clinical strains. However, PBTZ169 was bactericidal against Mycobacterium abscessus (3.33 and 1.49 log10 CFU reductions in the lungs and spleen, respectively) and Mycobacterium chelonae (2.29 and 2.24 CFU reductions in the lungs and spleen, respectively) in mice, and bacteriostatic against Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium fortuitum. Pretomanid dramatically decreased the CFU counts of M. abscessus (3.12 and 2.30 log10 CFU reductions in the lungs and spleen, respectively), whereas it showed moderate inhibition of M. chelonae and M. fortuitum. Bedaquiline, clofazimine, and moxifloxacin showed good activities against four NTMs in vitro and in vivo. Rifabutin did not inhibit M. avium and M. abscessus in mice.ConclusionPBTZ169 appears to be a candidate for treating four common NTM infections. Pretomanid was more active against M. abscessus, M. chelonae and M. fortuitum than against M. avium.

IntroductionSkin cancer is a major public health concern in the United States, reflecting approximately one in every three cancer diagnoses. Despite the high incidence of skin cancer, access to dermatologists is limited, especially in rural areas. Primary care physicians play a pivotal role in the evaluation of skin conditions, but dermatology training gaps exist in primary care training programs.ObjectivesThis study examines the use of the Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) knowledge-sharing framework to provide dermoscopy and skin cancer detection training to primary care providers (PCPs).MethodsResponses to surveys administered to participants in two separate dermoscopy-focused Project ECHO courses were analyzed. Survey responses were collected over a 4-year period for the two courses, which were delivered in Maine and Texas. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data was performed, revealing codes and subcodes that indicated several overall trends.ResultsOverall, most respondents indicated the ECHO sessions to be helpful, reporting an increase in confidence and knowledge in dermoscopy. Other codes reflected a positive reception of the learning materials and teaching styles. Furthermore, participant survey analyses highlighted areas of improvement for future ECHO course sessions.ConclusionsThis thematic analysis of Project ECHO courses in dermatology with dermoscopy demonstrates the feasibility of using virtual educational platforms to effectively teach PCPs about dermoscopy and skin cancer, with high levels of participant satisfaction. The need to keeping the educational sessions brief, avoid scheduling sessions on high-volume patient care days, and provide a means for participants to obtain hands-on training in the operation of a dermatoscope were among the top lessons learned.

Very thin free-flowing liquid sheets are promising targets for high-repetition-rate laser-ion acceleration. In this work, we report the generation of micrometer-thin free-flowing liquid sheets from the collision of two liquid jets, and study the vibration and jitter in their surface normal direction. The dependence of their motion amplitudes on the generation parameters is studied in detail. The origins of the vibration and jitter are discussed. Our results indicate that when the generation parameters are optimized, the motion amplitudes in the stable region can be stabilized below 3.7 μm to meet the stringent requirement of sheet position stability for a tight-focusing setup in laser-ion acceleration experiments.
GP roles in emergency medical services: a systematic mapping review and narrative synthesis
Authors: Burrell Alexander , Scrimgeour Grace , Booker Matthew 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundA significant proportion of emergency medical services (EMS) work is for problems that may be amenable to timely primary care management and could benefit from GP input. Utilising GPs in EMS may reduce avoidable emergency department (ED) conveyance, releasing emergency ambulances for higher-acuity care, and meeting patient needs earlier in the evolution of an emergency call.AimTo collate and summarise evidence on how GPs are utilised in EMS.Design & settingSystematic mapping review and narrative synthesis.MethodA systematic literature search was conducted using search terms for general practice and emergency care. Primary research articles investigating the utilisation of GPs in non-critical EMS were included. An inductive framework was used to structure the results alongside a narrative synthesis.ResultsTwenty-one articles were included. GPs were embedded in EMS for urgent management of high-acuity patients or used as an intervention to avoid unnecessary ED conveyance in selected lower-acuity patients. The importance of interprofessional relationships and training for GPs involved in EMS was highlighted. No studies explored patient-reported outcomes. Outcomes measured were predominantly ED non-conveyance and admission avoidance, with GP services as an intervention reducing the likelihood of these outcomes.ConclusionEmbedding GPs in EMS might service different purposes depending on context. There is some evidence that GP EMS services may reduce the likelihood of ED conveyance and hospital admission in selected cases; it is unclear whether this is owing to case selection or GP involvement. Future research should incorporate patients’ views and experiences.
