Objective: Acne vulgaris the most common cutaneous disorder affecting adolescent and young adults. Zinc is an essential element for human. We aimed to evaluate the serum zinc level in patients with acne vulgaris and correlate with the severity of disease. Methods: The study included 43 patients with acne vulgaris and 37 healthy control subjects. The severity of acne was assessed according to Global Acne Grading System. The serum zinc levels were measured both patients and control subjects. Results: The serum zinc level in acne patients were 81.48 ± 14.21 μg/dl and 83.69 ± 12.43 μg/dl in control subjects. There was no statistically significant difference between patients and control subjects (p=0.46).There was a negative correlation between acne severity and serum zinc levels but there was no statistically significant (r=-0.024, p=0.88). Conclusion: The results of our study revealed no relation between serum zinc levels and acne. Further studies are needed.

Objectives: Patient and staff safety is a crucial issue for the health agenda of all countries. Patient safety involves promoting the measures which ensure that mistakes are noted, reported and corrected before they affect patients and health workers. This descriptive study was conducted to determine the opinions of operating room nurses regarding patient and staff safety, as well as the factors that affect these opinions. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in 2010 in the operating rooms of nine quality-certified public hospitals in Ankara. This study was applied to 100 operating room nurses. Data was collected through questionnaires. Results: Operating room nurses report that the operating room engenders many risks towards patient and staff safety. The study shows that the three most frequent factors which threaten patient safety are: risk of infection (50%), problems with the transport of patients (50%), and wrong-patient/wrong-side/wrong-operation (35%). This study also revealed that the threats to staff safety are: sharp and penetrating injuries (44%), exposure to diseases that spread through contact with blood, body fluid, or respiration (41%). Conclusion: Nurses reported a multitude of risks that affect patient and staff safety in the operating room. The most important of these are risk of infection and sharp, penetrating injuries. Key words: Operating room, patient and staff safety, nursing

Objective: Because of its poor prognosis and high mortality rate, early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a challenge. The value of serum markers in the diagnosis of AMI is limited and the studies related with the D-dimer test carried out in recent years. In this prospective study we investigated the value of the level of plasma D-dimer in the diagnosis of AMI and the differential diagnosis from acute pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis. Methods: We included 89 patients who admitted to our emergency department with abdominal pain. The number and the diagnosis of the patients were 17 AMI, 42 acute pancreatitis and 30 acute cholecystitis, respectively. We measured the levels of plasma D-dimer of all patients by using a latex agglutination ‘immunoassay’ method. Eventually we calculated the sensitivity and specificity of D-dimer test in the diagnosis of AMI. Results: We determined the specificity of the D-dimer test in the differential diagnosis of AMI as 50% from acute pancreatitis, 70% from acute cholecystitis, 58.3% from all the control group and the sensitivity was 100%. Conclusion: The measurement of plasma D-dimer concentration may be useful in the differential diagnosis of AMI from acute pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis. However, to reveal the diagnostic value of D-dimer test more clearly, further studies with larger series are needed, where cut-off value is highly defined, and other patients with acute abdominal pain are added into the control group. Key words: Acute mesenteric ischemia, diagnosis, D-dimer

阿马克:Calisman的目标是诱发这种疾病,以及两所不同的魔法医院和州立医院的输尿管镜结石,它们都内置在尿道支架中。联系方式:2014年1月2日,伊诺大学图尔古特-奥扎尔中心医院(TOTM)和奥斯曼尼耶州立医院(ODH)的神经科诊所对开了2000块馅饼的患者进行了回顾。输尿管镜结石型患者被部署到准确的位置、大小、摇头丸水平和支架部署。保加利亚:两家医院的92名患者被感染。对85例TOTM和82例ODH患者采用DJ支架内窥镜尿道治疗。如果州立医院的支架很高,那么在大学医院没有统计学意义。在两组之间,平均手术图像之间具有统计学意义。结果:DJ支架置入后尿道组织内窥镜治疗完成。Bizim calimamiza gore universite hastanelerine devlet hastanelenine gore daha sik DJ支架yerlestirilmesi yapilmaktadir。这就是为什么更复杂的患者可以转诊到这些中心,因为它们是大学医院的最后一个中心。为了澄清这一情况,招股说明书需要听到更集中、更连续的口号。

Objective: Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is the most important neurotrophin, which helps the differentiation and growth of central and peripheral neurons, and facilitates synaptic transmission. In this study we aimed to investigate fetal cord BDNF levels of infants born from subclinical and clinical maternal hypothyroidism. Methods: This study was conducted on a total of 67 pregnant women who were followed up in Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinics, 27 with maternal hypothyroidism and 40 age-parity matched healthy pregnants without hypothyroidism. Immediately after vaginal or cesarean delivery fetal cord blood samples were taken from these patients and BDNF levels were measured. Results: BDNF levels of infants born from pregnants with maternal hypothyroidism were significantly lower than the control group (23.3 ± 17.4 ng/dl and 50.7 ± 28.3 ng/dl respectively; p<0.001). In multiple linear regression analysis, while BDNF level was related with maternal hypothyroidism and infant sex, it was not associated with mode of delivery, maternal age, total weight gain during pregnancy, gestational age at birth, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and other neonatal data. Conclusion: This study showed that fetal cord BDNF levels significantly decreased in infants of the pregnants with hypothyroidism.

In this study we aimed to investigate fetal cord BDNF levels of infants born from subclinical and clinical maternal hypothyroidism. Methods: This study was conducted on a total of 67 pregnant women who were followed up in Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinics, 27 with maternal hypothyroidism and 40 age-parity matched healthy pregnants without hypothyroidism. Immediately after vaginal or cesarean delivery fetal cord blood samples were taken from these patients and BDNF levels were measured. Results: BDNF levels of infants born from pregnants with maternal hypothyroidism were significantly lower than the control group (23.3 ± 17.4 ng/dl and 50.7 ± 28.3 ng/dl respectively; p<0.001). In multiple linear regression analysis, while BDNF level was related with maternal hypothyroidism and infant sex, it was not associated with mode of delivery, maternal age, total weight gain during pregnancy, gestational age at birth, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and other neonatal data. Conclusion: This study showed that fetal cord BDNF levels significantly decreased in infants of the pregnants with hypothyroidism.

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to consider the relation between the manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and gene mutations including factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin G20210A and MTHFR C677T. Methods: One hundred and forty four patients with idiopathic VTE were enrolled in this study. The data of patients were obtained from the medical records in hospital information system. The patients were grouped according to the location of VTE. In all subjects FVL, prothrombin G20210A, and MTHFR C677T were analyzed by specific polymerase chain reactions and restriction enzymes. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the relation between the groups and the gene mutations including factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin G20210A and MTHFR C677T. Results: The mean age of patients was 41.16 ± 13.23 years and the male / female ratio was 1.18. Among the patients with VTE, 44 (30.6%) had only DVT, 41 (28.5%) had only PE, 26 (18.1%) had both DVT and PE, 23 (16%) had cerebral veins thrombosis (CVT) and 10 (6.9%) had abdominal vein thrombosis The prevalence was found to be 46.5% for FVL, 13.2% for prothrombin G20210A and 45.1% for MTHFR C677T gene mutation among patients. There was no statistically difference between the manifestations of VTE regarding the gene mutations (p>0,05). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that gene mutations including factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin G20210A and MTHFR C677T are not sufficient to determine the location of VTE.
