Abstract

Background
We aimed to identify changes in quality of life after breast cancer treatment and compare them with the normative population data for the Slovenian population.

Patients and methods
A prospective, single-group, cohort design was used. A total of 102 early breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana were included. Of those, 71% returned the questionnaires after one-year post-chemotherapy. The Slovenian versions of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ C30 and BR23 questionnaires were used. Primary outcomes were a comparison of global health status/quality of life (GHS) and C30 Summary Score (C30-SumSc) at baseline and one-year post-chemotherapy with the normative Slovenian population. The exploratory analysis evaluated the differences in symptoms and functional scales of QLQ C-30 and QLQ BR-23 between baseline and one-year post-chemotherapy.

Results
At baseline and one-year post-chemotherapy, C30-SumSc of patients was lower than the predicted C30-SumSc from the normative Slovenian population by 2.6 points (p = 0.04) and 6.5 points (p < 0.001), resp. On the contrary, GHS was not statistically different from predicted either at baseline or after one year. Exploratory analysis revealed that one-year post-chemotherapy compared to the beginning of chemotherapy, patients had statistically significantly and clinically meaningful lower scores in body image and cognitive functioning, and increased symptom scores for pain, fatigue, and arm symptoms.

Conclusions
The C30-SumSc is reduced one-year post-chemotherapy. Early interventions should be directed toward the prevention of the decline of cognitive functioning and body image, and to alleviate fatigue, pain, and arm symptoms.

Published: June 2023

Objectives:
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is common in Oman in clinical practice, but the incidence in Oman is still unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and characteristic features of DDH in the Omani population managed at Khoula Hospital (KH).

Methods:
This is a retrospective study conducted at KH, targeting all Omani pediatric patients who have been officially diagnosed with DDH between the periods from January 2009 to December 2019. The data were collected from the medical record system at the hospital and phone interviews with the patient’s family to fill out the missed information.

Results:
The study included 795 DDH-diagnosed patients, out of which 652 (82.0%) were female and 143 (18.0%) were male, giving a ratio of 4.5:1. Bilateral DDH was diagnosed in 300 (37.7%) patients, left-sided DDH in 307 (38.6%), and right DDH in 188 (23.6%) patients. At least half of the DDH cases were 6 months old or younger at the first presentation to the hospital and 16.6% were diagnosed after the age of 18 months. Remarkably, at least one risk factor was present for 581 (73.1%) patients. The remaining patients had no risk factors for DDH at all. The prevalence of the first child in the family was 33.0% and oligohydramnios 10.9%. The estimated DDH incidence in this study is 1.05/1000 live births/year.

Conclusion:
Based on the national live births annual records from Oman National Center for Statistics and Information, this study estimated the DDH incidence to be 1.05/1000 live births. These findings cannot be generalized nationally as they are from a single center. We recommend conducting a multicenter prospective study to identify DDH incidence in Oman accurately. National guidelines and screening programs must be developed and executed for early detection and management.

Background: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a temporary management modality for non-compressible torso haemorrhage that can be deployed in the pre- and intrahospital setting. This study aimed to compare outcomes following balloon placement in the three aortic zones.
Methods: This is a retrospective study using data from the ABO Trauma Registry. Relevant entries from January 2014 to December 2019 were used and stratified into three groups: those who received Zone 1, 2, or 3 balloon placements.
Results: The study sample consisted of 237 patients: 63 (27%) women and 174 (73%) men, median age 35 years. The primary location of the REBOA balloon was in Zone 1 for 180 patients, while it was nine in Zone 2 and 48 in Zone 3. Complication rates and total durations did not differ significantly between inflation zones. Emergency department mortality rates for Zones 1 and 2 patients were significantly higher than for Zone 3 (P = 0.04), but there was no difference between groups in 24-hour and 30-day mortality rates.
Conclusions: REBOA is currently used in the emergency setting for temporary stabilisation of the bleeding patient. In this cohort, balloon placement occurred in all zones of the aorta for similar durations, with no difference in complication rates between zones. Inadvertent Zone 2 placement was not found to be associated with increased complication rates.

Published: June 2023

COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures reasonably limited the social contacts of people in many countries. It is crucial to understand the effect of such policies on people’s social ties and the possible need for evidence-based public policy amendments. Therefore, this study examines 1) the prevalence of loneliness in the population aged 15+ in Lithuania in late 2021 and 2) the self-rated effect of the COVID crisis on loneliness in population groups with different levels of loneliness. It also focuses on the socio-demographic characteristics of these population groups. Data from a representative cross-sectional quantitative survey (N = 1067), carried out in November–December 2021, was used. Based on the 6-item De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale, descriptive statistics analysis revealed the high prevalence (51% of a medium level of loneliness) in the Lithuanian population. One in three people (36%) declared low-level loneliness, and each seventh or eighth (13%) reported high-level loneliness. The feelings of respondents who reported a high level of loneliness were also less stable; they more often stated that their feelings of loneliness increased during the pandemic. These research findings make contributions to studies of loneliness within the context of sudden crises. They emphasise the importance of policymakers focusing on additional measures when preparing for future emergencies and providing special attention to residents who experience the highest levels of loneliness.

Ali Ulvi Efendi Elif-Ba’sının Hat Sanatı Yönünden İncelenmesi
Authors: ÇETİNTAŞ Özgür 
Published: June 2023

Arapçanın öğretilmesinde temel kaynak “elif-ba” adlı müfredattır. Bu dili öğretmek için hazırlanan elif-ba meşkleri harflerin ve hecelerin yazılışını gösterirken son olarak çeşitli dualarla tamamlanır. Yazı sanatında eğitim geleneksel olarak usta-çırak münasebeti ile süregelmiştir. Yüz yüze yapılan dersler kalem hareketleri, çizgi kalitesini görme ve detayları daha iyi anlayabilme bakımından oldukça önemlidir. Arapça gibi, İslam hat sanatını öğrenme safhalarını oluşturan talimlere de “meşk” adı verilir. Hat sanatında kullanılan meşk etme tabiri hattat tarafından talebeye yazı yazmayı öğretmek için kullanılır. Arap alfabesinin sanatlı bir şekilde yazılması İslam dünyasında oldukça önemlidir. Bu amaçla yüzyıllar boyunca yetişen hattatlar hep daha güzel yazabilmek için çalışmışlardır. Yazıyı güzel yazabilmek kadar okunabilirliğini de sağlamak bu sanatla iştigal edenlerin temel gayelerinden biridir.
Bu araştırma Ali Ulvi Efendi’ye ait nesih harfleri ve harf bağlantılarını gösteren elif-ba kitapçığını içermektedir. Bu eser, hat sanatında kullanılan meşk murakkaları gibi Rabbiyessir duası ile başlamaktadır. Ölçü noktalarının bulunmadığı eserin baştan ilk iki ve sondan dört sayfası tezhiplenmiştir. Deri ciltli eserde hattatın ketebesi ve hocasının adının geçmesi, hattat silsilesinin takibini sağlaması açısından önemlidir. XIX. yüzyılda vefat eden hattat Ali Ulvi Efendi’ye ait bu elif-ba, kendisinin zarif nesih hattını detaylı bir şekilde göstermektedir. Kolombiya Üniversitesi Kütüphanesinde bulunan bu nadide eser hem elif-ba hem de nesih yazı meşki niteliğindedir.

Published: June 2023

İnsanlar tarih boyunca inanç ve düşünce ile ilgili soyut kavramları, çoğu zaman semboller aracılığıyla anlatmışlardır. İslam tasavvuf kültüründe de semboller, derin anlamlar içereni anlatmak açısından büyük önem taşımıştır. Özellikle tarikat eşyaları, Anadolu tekke kültüründe, kullanım ve giyim eşyası olan ve her tarikata göre şekli ve rengi farklılık gösteren, tekkelerde tarikatların hem gündelik hayatta hem de zikir ve merasimlerinde kullandıkları birer sembolik eşya olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Cihaz-ı tarikat diye de adlandırılan bu eşyalar, tasavvuf erbabı tarafından manevi anlamlar yüklenerek, dervişlerin manevi olgunluğa ulaşmasında somut hale getirilmiş sembolik unsurlardır.
Osmanlı’nın son döneminde Urfa’da yaşamış önemli bir Kadiri şeyhi olan Dede Osman Avni Tekkesi ’ne ait 4 alem, 1 tâc, 1 külah, 3 şamdan-çerağ, 1 keşkül, 1 mütteka, 1 asa (şeşper), 2 zikir kemeri, 1 lamba, 1 tespih, 1 seccade, 3 levha, olmak üzere toplam 20 tarikat eşyası çalışmanın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada eşyaların malzemeleri, teknikleri, süslemeleri, üzerlerindeki yazıları ve tarihleri incelenip değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında incelenen tarikat eşyalarında, maden, ahşap, kumaş, yün, porselen, ve alçı malzemeler kullanılarak, döküm, dövme, oyma, kalıp yapım teknikleriyle eşyalara şekiller verilmiştir. Eşyalar üzerindeki süsleme ve yazılarda ise kazıma, kabartma, delik işi teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Süslemelerdeki kompozisyonlar bitkisel, geometrik, nesneli motiflerden oluşmaktadır, eşyalarda görülen yazıların büyük bir kısmı dini içeriklidir. Çalışmada Urfa’da Dede Osman Avni Tekkesine ait olan tarikat eşyalarının tasavvuf kültürü- geleneğindeki sembolik anlamları üzerinde durulmuş ve bu eşyalar sanat tarihi disiplini içerisinde incelenerek bu konu ile ilgili literatüre katkıda bulunulması amaçlanmıştır.
