Objectives: Noteworthy peaks of non-cholera vibriosis occurred in Russia’s Rostov and Volgograd regions in 2007 and 2010. The origins of these emergent vibrio cases have not been fully understood. Here, we investigate a possible link between the heat wave event and disease emergence. Methods: This study employed Pearson correlation and regression analyses to identify the linkage between ambient temperature and Vibrio cases. Results: The correlation test between the mean summer air temperatures for both regions and the Vibrio-infectious cases per year, shows a significant correlation between the mean summer temperature and the infection: r= 0.62 (p=0.023) for the Rostov region and r = 0.78 (p=0.012) for the Volgograd region. Conclusion: The heat waves in the summers of 2007 and 2010 suggest having facilitated the upsurge of V. cholerae non-cholera diseases. The warming tendency has to be considered in predicting outbreaks.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the extent and associated factors of all-cause mortality in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in a hospital for over a one-year follow-up period. Methods: This cohort study was conducted on the patients who applied and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the Dokuz Eylul University Hospital which is a large tertiary healthcare facility in Izmir, Turkey, between 19.03.2020 and 31.05.2021. The study included 8955 adult patients with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression models were used to examine the relationships between demographic and clinical characteristics and mortality. Results: The cumulative all-cause mortality rate was 4.7% in Covid 19 patients. Patients over 80 years old had a significantly higher risk of death compared to those younger than 50 years old (aHR:22.3; 95% CI: 10.4-47.7). Current or ex-smokers had a higher risk of death compared to non-smokers (aHR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1-2.4). Patients without any complaints before diagnosis had a higher risk of death compared to those with three or more complaints (aHR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.2-2.6). Patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit had a significantly higher risk of death compared to outpatients (aHR: 62.3; 95% CI: 37.6-101.9). Conclusions: In COVID-19 patients, the cumulative all-cause mortality rate was 4.7%; age, smoking, having a chronic disease, number of complaints prior to diagnosis, and admission status were identified as independent risk factors. Elderly people with chronic diseases need to be prioritized for preventive measures.

Objective: Traditional and complementary medicine practices, which are becoming more and more widespread in the world, appear as a global problem in particular. The leaves of the fig tree (Ficus carica) contain furocoumarin and this may cause phytodermatitis. In this study, it is aimed to present the medical condition of a family of four who were deliberately exposed to fig leaves. Method: Patient records were reviewed retrospectively. Results: The complaints of the patients started on the second day of exposure and the patients applied to the hospital on the fifth day. After their treatment, the patients were discharged with full recovery. Conclusion: Herbal treatment is widely used in our country as well as all over the world. Making evidence-based recommendations for the medical treatment of medicinal plants and phytotherapy products without providing adequate standardization and determining indications and contraindications poses a danger to public health.

ABSTRACT
Objective: This research was carried out in order to show the effect of the use of media tools on the risk perception of the society in the context of generations during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: The research was conducted with mixed method in which quantitative and qualitative research techniques were used together. The “Converging Parallel Mixed Method” was used and the findings obtained from the both methods were combined. Media Exposure Scale, Risk Perception Scale, The Behavior Scale and The Believability Scale were used for the quantitative part. In-depth interviews were conducted for the qualitative part.
Results: In the quantitative part of this study, it was found that the most important behavioral difference is that the use of media directly affects vaccination behavior in all generations. It has been also determined that the media use variable doesn’t differ according to age groups, thus all generational groups were found to use media invariably from each other.
Conclusion: It is of great significance that the information that both the whole society and individuals over the age of 65, who are in the risk group in terms of Covid-19 contamination and adverse process, need or may need, should be given in the most perspicuous, accurate and current manner in the media.

Objective: The infant mortality rate is one of the most important indicators providing information on maternal and infant health. It can be affected by changes of social and environmental factors. The aim of this study is to evaluate infant mortality in 2019 and 2020 years at the local level, considering the beginning of the pandemic period. Methods: The population of this cross-sectional study are infants registered in a district of Istanbul in 2019 and 2020. Infant mortality rates before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were calculated. Antenatal healthcare and delivery practices in addition to the underlying risk factors for infant deaths were identified and compared by the year of mortality. All study data were collected from the district health information system. Results: Fifty-one infant deaths included in the study were residents of the district. Infant mortality rates were calculated as 4.8 and 5.1 per thousand live births for the years 2019 and 2020. Neonatal mortality rates were 3.9 and 2.7; postneonatal mortality rates were 0.9 and 2.4 per thousand live births, respectively by the years. No statistically significant difference was found between maternal and infant characteristics of the two years. The number of pregnancy follow-up records was significantly higher for the infants that died in 2020 compared to 2019. Yet, there wasn’t any difference in number of prenatal physician visits. Conclusion: Increase in the infant mortality rate during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period is due to postneonatal mortality. The increase in postneonatal mortality is related to deaths caused by infections. This finding should be investigated with the healthcare accessibility and other characteristics of the infants. Our experience during the study revealed a room for improvement in access to data on always-important public health indicators, which would support evidence-based decision-making even in difficult times.

Abstract
Objective: Electromagnetic Field sources which are widely used as part of the operating mechanism occupational exposure occurs with the electricity is generated, distributed or usage in the everyday environment. We aimed to obtain the Extremely Low Frequency-Magnetic Field exposure profile for dental health workers from electrical devices used in dentistry.
Methods: Measurements were performed while appliances under working conditions, 10 cm distance with the device for 6 minutes and for 7 days. The highest measured value in every 10 second was recorded. The mean ± SD of minimum and maximum Extremely Low Frequency-Magnetic Field for high-speed dental handpiece with LED, low-speed dental handpiece, model-trimming machine, automatic boil-out unit, steam machine, vacuum device, and polishing machine were recorded in milliGauss.
Results: The values which obtains from model-trimming machine and polishing machine were remarkable (809.17 ± 37.70 / 975.00 ± 10.27, 649.33 ± 201.37 / 1367.00 ± 32.17, respectively). Conclusion: The results show that periodic Electromagnetic Field exposure measurements should be conducted to obtain more detailed information about workplace exposures and sources.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of violence, the causes of violence and possible precautions to violence for healthcare workers employed at the Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University Health Application and Research Centre. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 453 people consisting of physicians, nurses, technicians and other healthcare workers were given a survey based on the relevant literature. Results: While 61.1% of healthcare workers were subjected to violence at least once in their professional lives, 39.3% experienced violence in the last year. The frequency of exposure to violence was significantly higher in women (65.9%) than in men (53.4%). The frequency of exposure to violence among healthcare workers in the 30-39 age group (69.2%) was higher than other age groups. Nurses experienced more violence than other occupational groups. Emergency clinic workers were subjected to violence most frequently (%72.2). The most common change in the patient approach after violence was a decrease in tolerance for patient demands (58.3%). 83.5% of the victims of violence did not resort to legal remedies. 74.6% of them stated that they would not get any results. The most common recommendation of the healthcare workers who had been subjected to violence was the implementation of judicial and financial sanctions (84.9%). Conclusion: Most of the health workers did not resort to legal remedies because they thought that they would not get results after violence. High-deterrent regulations to prevent violence in health should be issued.
