Achillea millefolium (AM) is widely used in traditional medicine in a wide geography due to its effects on the female reproductive system. However, its effect on uterine smooth muscle contractions is unknown. Our study aims to investigate the effects of AM on spontaneous and oxytocin-induced isolated rat uterine contractions. Myometrial strips were obtained from 32 adult Wistar Albino rats. Contraction amplitudes and frequencies were recorded after either of the following: administration of only Krebs-Hanseleit (KBH) solution, administration of Achillea millefolium extract (AME); administration of KBH or AME after inducing contractions with oxytocin. When AM extract was administered at a dose of 2mg/ml, it significantly reduced the spontaneous (non-induced) contraction frequency compared to the control group with only KBH addition to the medium (AME: 2.37±0.49, KBH: 9.25±1.69, p=0.002). AME significantly reduced the amplitude of spontaneous uterine contractions in the administrations of 0.5, 1, and 2mg/ml (p

Objective: In today’s world, experts are increasingly making identification and sex determination from skeletonized and dismembered corpses. For this reason, the question of which anatomical regions and bones will be used for sex determination is becoming increasingly important issue. One of the anatomical regions that stand out in terms of sexual dimorphism is the facial region and the elements that make up this region. Although studies have revealed that the width measurements in the face region, especially the bizygomatic width, are an important sex-discriminating variable, the other elements that make up the upper face region have not been adequately examined. The aim of this study is to look for an answer to the question of whether width measurements can be used in sex determination by focusing on the upper face region (especially the orbital aperture and its surroundings). Methods: In this framework, 5 width measurements were taken on CT (computerized tomography) images of 200 adult individuals (100 women, 100 men) aged between 18 and 75 years. These measures are: (1) interzygomatic width, (2) bimalar width, (3) orbital width, (4) biorbital width, and (5) interorbital width. The degrees of sexual dimorphism of the measures were analyzed by constructing univariate and multivariate discriminant functions. Results: The results of the analysis revealed that the ratio of correct allocation of sex by univariate functions ranged from 63.5% to 76.5%. It was determined that the variables that best the discriminator of sex were bizygomatic width (76.5%) and biorbital width (73%), respectively. Two variables were included in the most successful multivariate function that correctly separated the sex groups. These are bizygomatic width and orbital width measurements, and the correct sex determination rate of this equation was determined as 77%. Conclusion: Our findings reveal that the success of the width measurements in the upper face and orbital region is at a moderate level, therefore, in the medico-legal examinations the width measurements of the upper face region can be applied in cases where the bone elements forming the pelvis are not found.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 0-12 aylık bebeği olan kadınların Koronavirüs salgınında yaşadığı korkunun postpartum depresyon (PPD) ile ilişkisini incelemek amaçlandı. Yöntem Kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipteki çalışma verileri 20 Mart-15 Haziran 2021 tarihleri arasında çevrim içi platformlarda toplandı. Çalışmaya 18-45 yaş aralığında, 0-12 aylık bebeği olan 206 kadın dahil edildi. Veriler katılımcı tanıtım formu, Edinburg Postpartum Depresyon Ölçeği (EPDÖ) ve Koronavirüs Korkusu Ölçeği (KKÖ) kullanılarak elde edildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %81.1’inin Koronavirüs geçirmemiş olduğu gözlendi. Koronavirüs geçirenlerin %61.5’i bu süreçte bebeklerini emzirdiği tespit edildi. Katılımcıların %65.7’si Koronavirüse yakalandığını düşündüğünde kalp atışının hızlandığını, %70.9’u Koronavirüse yakalanmaktan duyduğu endişeden uykularının kaçtığını ve %75.2’si Koronavirüsü düşündüğünde ellerinin terlediğini bildirdi. Çalışma durumu, doğum sebebiyle çalışmaya ara verme ve salgın sebebiyle çalışmaya ara verme arasında KKÖ puanlarında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı fark olduğu belirlendi. Katılımcıların %32.6’sı PPD açısından risk grubunda bulunmaktaydı. İşe tekrar başlamayı düşünen katılımcıların düşünmeyenlere göre daha düşük PPD riskinde oldukları belirlendi. Sonuç: Çalışmada postpartum süreçte kadınların orta düzeyde Koronavirüs korkusuna sahip olduğu ve Koronavirüs korkusu ile PPD arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu belirlendi. Koronavirüs salgını sırasında anne sağlığı hizmetlerini iyileştirmek için Koronavirüs bilgisi ve doğum sonrası sağlık bilgisinin tanıtımının güçlendirilmesi, doğum sonrası kadınlara profesyonel danışmanlık hizmeti verilmesinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
目的是调查产后抑郁症（PPD）与有0-12个月婴儿的女性生活在冠状病毒袭击中的恐惧之间的关系。该方法总结了2021年3月20日至6月15日期间平台环境的工作数据类型。在18至45年的工作中，206名有0-12个月婴儿的女性被纳入其中。数据参与者标识符格式来源于Edinburg产后抑郁测量（EPDÖ）和冠状病毒恐惧测量（KÖ）的使用。研究结果发现，81.1%的参与者没有通过冠状病毒检测。当时，61.5%的冠状病毒患者被诊断为母乳喂养。当65.7%的参与者认为自己感染了冠状病毒时，他们报告说他们的心脏病发作加速了，70.9%的参与者担心自己已经逃离了冠状病毒，75.2%的参与者认为他们已经感染了冠状病毒。由于出生，工作情况已经确定，KCO和疾病原因之间存在统计差异。32.6%的参与者暴露于PPD风险组。Ilşe tekrar başlamayıdüşünen katılımcıların düshünmeyenlere göre daha düšük PPD riskinde olduklarıbelerlendi。因此，在产后过程中，女性对冠状病毒的恐惧程度一般，并且冠状病毒与PPD之间存在积极关系。在冠状病毒病发作过程中，加强冠状病毒信息和产后健康信息的引入，以改善母亲的健康服务，这一点被认为是重要的。

How has the COVID-19 Pandemic affected sexual health of partnered men? Objective: Mental health and human psychology have been negatively affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since psychomental status and sexual health are related, it is possible that the sexual health of couples may be affected along with their mental health. We aimed to perform a quantitative evaluation of male partners’ sexual lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A hundred-sixteen men filled out our online survey in which International Erectile Index Score (IIEF) was embedded. The relationship between COVID-19 pandemic and stress, economical concerns, workload, etc. was questioned. Results: Twenty-nine people had not had intercourse for more than 1 month. Twenty-one of them (72.4%) showed pandemic-related relationship sexual avoidance behaviour. 55.2% of survey respondents who also filled IIEF questionnaire were economically affected by the pandemic, 66.7% were psychologically affected and 71.2% were significantly or somewhat sexually affected. the total average of the erectile function score was 25.95±5.4. These scores indicate a slight predominance of ED. Conclusion: It is clear the COVID-19 pandemic affects people’s sex lives in myriad of negative ways. We believe that many the domestic problems likely to develop as a result of lockdowns and other measures intended to prevent virus spread can be prevented or reduced by facilitating healthy sex lives between couples.

Investigation of physical activity and diet consultancy services provided in a healthy life center Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the services provided in the diet and physical activity units of a healthy life center (HLC). Method: From the electronic database of HLC, the first body mass index (BMI) values measured in the diet unit and the types of exercise given in the physical activity unit were obtained. The BMI values of 7223 individuals over the age of 18 were categorized and the relationship between age and gender was analyzed. In the analyses, descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and CHAID analysis were used. Results: The mean BMI of individuals who applied to the diet unit was found 31.63 ± 6.96. Of these individuals, 28.4% were pre-obese and 56.3% were obese. 86.5% of the individuals were female and their BMI values were statistically significantly higher than men (p=0.010). It was observed that the percentage of obese individuals generally increased as the age groups increased. In the CHAID analysis results, the most important variable for BMI was age (p<0.001). The prevalence of obesity in the age group of over 48 years was 71.1% in men and 83% in women. The most frequent exercises given in the HLC were posture stretching and relaxation exercises, respectively. Conclusion: The rate of obese individuals applying to the HLC diet unit is high. There are differences among these individuals in terms of age and gender variables. Improving physical activity and nutritional habits and increasing HLC awareness can be beneficial.

The most frequent exercises given in the HLC were posture stretching and relaxation exercises, respectively. Conclusion: The rate of obese individuals applying to the HLC diet unit is high. There are differences among these individuals in terms of age and gender variables. Improving physical activity and nutritional habits and increasing HLC awareness can be beneficial.","PeriodicalId":30746,"journal":{"name":"Mustafa Kemal Universitesi Tip Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67638884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
