Objective: Joint awareness (JA) is indicative of the patient's ability to adapt to an artificial joint after total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery. The current study investigated the relationship between joint awareness, joint position sense (JPS), mobility level, activities of daily living, and hip pain level in patients with THA. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 50 individuals with THA (31.48±55.14 weeks post-surgery; mean age was 54.32±18.28 years). Factors related to joint awareness were examined with linear regression analysis. Hip JPS was measured with a digital inclinometer, pain level was measured with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), joint awareness was assessed with Forgotten Joint Score-12, and mobility level with the Parker Mobility Index. Results: Independent variables that have a statistically significant effect on the artificial joint score are age, pain, mobility level, and body mass index (p = 0.002, p = 0.040, p

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the impact of impulsivity, treatment motivation, anxiety, and cognitive distortions on the duration of inpatient treatment for substance use. Materials and Methods: The sample for the study consisted of 200 volunteer patients receiving inpatient treatment at the Alcohol and Substance Addiction Treatment Center. Participants underwent a general psychopathological evaluation using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) administered by the clinician. All participants were given the Case Report Form prepared by the clinician along with the Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 Short Form (BIS), Automatic Thoughts Scale (ATS), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I, STAI-II) and Treatment Motivation Questionnaire (TMQ). Results: A significant distinction was noted in discharge statuses when comparing scores on the Barratt Impulsivity Scale and nonplaning impulsiveness subscale, and the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory and Automatic Thoughts Scale. Those who were discharged with remission had notably lower scores compared to those who left voluntarily or were discharged due to rule violation (p< 0.001).

Abstract The most serious complications developing after an electric shock are cardiac arrhythmias, skin lesions, and multiple organ injuries after a fall from heights. Although mortality due to high-voltage electric shocks are higher, low-voltage electrical shocks can cause cardiac complications. Of the cardiac complications due to electric shock, myocardial necrosis and ventricular arrhythmias are more common. Although rarer than ventricular arrhythmias, supraventricular arrhythmias can also occur. However, the mechanism of developing arrhythmias after electric shocks cannot be completely explained. In this present case report, AF with rapid ventricular response which developed after a 380-volt electrical shock in a 42-year-old male patient with no risk factors for AF will be discussed.

Objective: To this study, we presented our experience with thermocautery assisted guillotine/clamp (TAG) method circumcisions on infant age and to share high rate of penile adhesions/phimosis complications that we found at the end of study.
Methods: A retrospective review between July 2020 and October 2022, 80 patients under the age of 1 who were circumcised by a single surgeon using the thermocautery assisted guillotine/clamp method, under the local anesthesia were included in the study (Thermo-Med TM 802B device; Thermo Medikal, Adana, Turkey).
Results: 80 patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was 0-6 months old, group 2 was 6-12 months old. According to the weight percentile in group 1, 44.4% of the patients were above 75. percentile (p), in group 2, 34% of the patient were 25-50.p. In the preoperative evaluations, the presence of pubic fatty tissue was found in 24% of the patients in group 1 and 30% in group 2. Early complications occurred in 7 patients. Late complications were seen in 22 patients (27,5%). The presence of excess penile tissue was observed in 12 of them.
Conclusion: The TAG method is cheap, fast operation time and has a very good bleeding control. However, its use in infant group affects complication rates due to infant anatomical features. In the decision of circumcision in infant age, if there is a pubic fatty tissue in the preoperative examination, the high probability of complications should be taken into account when choosing the TAG method

Objective: According to the results of the Türkiye Health Survey; While the rate of individuals aged 15 and over who use tobacco products every day was 28.0% in 2019, it increased to 28.3% in 2022. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), smoking is the cause of death for more than 8 million people each year. The use of tobacco and tobacco products is an important health problem that harms individuals and societies, has attracted attention all over the world in recent years, and needs to be treated. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the addiction status of individuals applying to our outpatient clinics, to determine what measures should be taken for the treatment of smoking and to determine if there is a regional awareness in the addiction score.
Methods: Our study, which was planned as a cross-sectional, descriptive and prospective study, included 184 people over the age of 18, who were active smoking and who accepted to participate in the study, who applied to Ordu University Medical Faculty Family Medicine Polyclinic between 12.10.2021 and 15.01.2022 for any reason. The Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Test was used in the analysis of the addiction score. In the study, chi-square analysis was used to determine whether the Fagerström Nicotine Addiction Test Questions of Smoker Patients in the Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic changed according to the gender and age of the patients. The SPSS 21.0 V. statistical package program was used for all statistical calculations. It was considered that the research findings were significant at the P

The use of tobacco and tobacco products is an important health problem that harms individuals and societies, has attracted attention all over the world in recent years, and needs to be treated. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the addiction status of individuals applying to our outpatient clinics, to determine what measures should be taken for the treatment of smoking and to determine if there is a regional awareness in the addiction score.
 Methods: Our study, which was planned as a cross-sectional, descriptive and prospective study, included 184 people over the age of 18, who were active smoking and who accepted to participate in the study, who applied to Ordu University Medical Faculty Family Medicine Polyclinic between 12.10.2021 and 15.01.2022 for any reason. The Fagerström Nicotine Dependence Test was used in the analysis of the addiction score. In the study, chi-square analysis was used to determine whether the Fagerström Nicotine Addiction Test Questions of Smoker Patients in the Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic changed according to the gender and age of the patients. The SPSS 21.0 V. statistical package program was used for all statistical calculations.

Objective: There are difficulties in determining the location of submerged implants when cover screws and healing screws are to be replaced. Because of this, a new implant cover screw has been designed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the properties of a novel implant cover screws in rabbits.
Methods: 10 New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. Diastema regions behind the incisor teeth were used for the placement of cover screws. In the control group, the screws (n=20) that received no processing were placed whereas, in the experimental group, the screws (n=20) that top surfaces were coated with europium and dysprosium doped strontium aluminate were placed to the diastema regions. Animals were sacrificed after 6 weeks. Dental LED curing light was applied to the oral mucosa regions in which screws were placed in the experimental group just after sacrification and the visibility of the screws was evaluated. To determine the biocompatibility of the coated screws, oral mucosas which contacted with the screws, livers and kidneys were removed and examined histopathologically.
Results: After light application, only the screws in the upper jaws of the experimental group became visible (n=10). Histopathological examinations performed on the kidneys, livers and oral mucosa tissues which contacted with the screws. There were no significant differences between the experimental and control groups regarding these tissues.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that the titanium implant cover screws coated with europium and dysprosium doped strontium aluminate were biocompatible for rabbits.
