Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine the blood transfusion characteristics, related factors and results in patients followed in the COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit(ICU). (COPD) rates were significantly higher in those who received blood transfusion (33.3% vs 0.0%) (p=0.026). The fatality rate was 44.4% in the blood transfused group, and 21.1% in the non-transfused group (p=0.371). Conclusion: As a result of our study, it was determined that patients with a diagnosis of COPD in the COVID-19 ICU, who had a severe clinic and intubation need, mechanical ventilation, and who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit for a long time developed more anemia and blood transfusion, and mortality was higher in patients who underwent transfusion.

Kilci Ş. al. Views of postnatal mothers regarding human milk banking. Med Black Sea. 2021;5(3):435-443. ABSTRACT Aim: This study was carried out to determine the views of postnatal mothers regarding human milk banking. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on between 25 June 2019 and 1 January 2020 at Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University Health Practice and Research Center. A questionnaire was applied to 244 mothers who were hospitalized in the obstetrics service.The data were collected using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. In this form, questions regarding human milk banking prepared in accordance with the literature and the socio-demographic characteristics of the mothers were included. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS 23.0 statistics program. Results: The mean age of postnatal mothers was 29.9. Of the mothers, 41% were primary school / secondary school graduates, 79.5% were living in nuclear families and 74.6% were unemployed. The majority of mothers (73.4%) wanted human milk banks in Turkey to be active, 72.5% considered donating their milk if there were a milk bank, 57.4% would like to benefit from the milk bank. A statistical difference was found between the socio-demographic status of the mothers (age, education, employment status, family type and number of children alive) and the condition whether or not the milk bank caused problems in terms of religion (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that the majority of mothers would like to donate to the milk bank and get milk there. However, it was also stated that the presence of milk bank would lead to some problems (milk sibling marriage, feeling of inadequacy in mothers, risk of disease transmission and religious reasons, etc.). Despite the benefits of human milk banking, ethical dilemmas, traditional beliefs and attitudes, myths, concerns about the safety of milk and lack of information should be discussed.

common cancer among women worldwide and most of the new cases are reported from underdeveloped regions. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is known to cause cervical cancer. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the knowledge levels on the HPV, HPV screening tests and HPV vaccine of the preclinical medical students and the other university students. In this way, problems, if any, will be revealed and the groundwork will be prepared for their elimination. Material and Methods: Our descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between February 15 and March 15, 2021 with preclinical medical students and the other university students. A two-stage electronic questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic questions and HPV Knowledge Scale was applied to 303 participants (n=303), who were determined by the convenience sampling method. Results: It was determined that 68.3% of the participants were female (n=207), 31.7% were male (n=96), their mean age was 20.94 ± 1.69 and the average of HPV Knowledge Scale scores was 9.08±8.32. It was observed that 39.6% of the participants (n=20) were pre-clinical medical faculty students, and 60.4% (n=183) were students from other faculties. When HPV Knowledge Scale scores were compared; It was observed that the scores of the pre-clinical medical faculty students among the students studying at faculties outside medicine and health sciences were significantly higher (p<0.001). It was determined that there was no difference between the scale scores in terms of sociodemographic characteristics such as gender and monthly income of the participants (p>0.05). It was found that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in terms of HPV Knowledge Scale scores among the education of the mother and father, knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases, hearing and knowledge of cervical cancer, the place of residence during the education period, the region where he spent the longest part of his life, and the regions where his faculty is located. Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that there were differences between the knowledge levels of the students on HPV, and it was concluded that studies should be carried out to increase the knowledge level as an important component of health literacy.

study, it was aimed to evaluate the characteristics of the patients referred to the secondary level state hospital neurophysiology laboratory by different branches, and to evaluate the compatibility between clinical prediagnoses and electromyographic (EMG) diagnoses. Material and Methods: The results of the EMGs performed by the same physician in the Aydın State Hospital Neurophysiology Laboratory during the 18-month period between 01.03.2014-30.09.2015 were reviewed retrospectively. The agreement between the prediagnosis of the referring clinic and the EMG result information was analyzed. Results: 1620 (64.1%) of the patients with a mean age of 48.5±15 (5-90) years were female. Neurology 1574 (62.3%), physical therapy and rehabilitation (PTR) 534 (21.1%), orthopedics 184 (7.3%), neurosurgery 155 (6.1%) and other branches 81 (3.2%) requested EMG from the neurophysiology laboratory. The prediagnoses of the patients who underwent EMG were; 1027 (40.6%) carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), 130 (5.1%) cubital tunnel syndrome (CUTS), 452 (17.8%) polyneuropathy (PNP), 467 (18.4%) upper extremity radiculopathy (RDP), 198 (7.8%) lower extremity RDP. When the prediagnosis-EMG diagnosis agreement is examined: in CTS 55.6% rate, moderate agreement; in CUTS 65.4% rate, strong agreement; in PNP 38.5% rate, moderate agreement; in upper extremity RDP 87.1% rate, strong agreement; in lower extremity RDP 81.3% rate, strong agreement were found. 25% of all EMG results were normal. Normal results were found in 27.5% in neurology, 21.7% in PTR, 20.1% in orthopedics, and 11.6% in neurosurgery. In addition, normal results were determined in 27.7% in CTS, 16.2% in CUTS, 48% in PNP, 6% in upper extremity RDP, and 10.6% in lower extremity RDP. PNP was the most common prediagnosis (48%) with a normal result, and it was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: According to our study; The percentage of normally completed EMG was found to be high, and both clinical findings and department-based prediagnosis-EMG diagnosis agreement were low. When evaluated together with the literature data, we concluded that most EMG examinations are unnecessary.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate total and uncarboxylated osteocalcin levels concerning gender, menopausal status, and glucose tolerance in endocrinology outpatients. Material and Methods: A total of 178 endocrinology outpatients with oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) findings were included. Data on anthropometrics [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (cm), body fat percentage (BFP), and fat mass], glycemic parameters [fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin), C-peptide, HbA1c, and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)], blood lipids, and serum osteocalcin (OCN) levels [total osteocalcin (tOCN) and uncarboxylated osteocalcin (uOCN)] were compared with sex, menopausal status, and glucose tolerance status. Results: No significant difference was noted in the tOCN and uOCN levels concerning gender and menopausal status. tOCN was negatively correlated with BMI, waist circumference, BFP, and fat mass in patients with normal glucose tolerance (p<0.05) and premenopausal women (p<0.05). Besides, tOCN was negatively correlated with BFP and fat mass in patients with prediabetes (p<0.05) and positively correlated with fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR in the prediabetes group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our findings revealed no significant difference in tOCN and uOCN levels regarding sex, menopausal status or glucose tolerance. The likelihood of a more limited role and complex regulation of OCN-glucose homeostasis link in humans should be considered.

The likelihood of a more limited role and complex regulation of OCN-glucose homeostasis link in humans should be considered.","PeriodicalId":309460,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Western Black Sea","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120839443","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}
Aim: Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD); fever is an enteroviral rash disease of childhood, progressing with skin and mucous lesions. Mean platelet volume (MPV) may be a more sensitive index than platelet count as an indicator of clinical interest in various disorders. In this study; We tried to find answers to the questions of whether MPV levels change in HFMD and can it be a guide in determining the future finding such as onychomedosis. Material and Methods: Retrospective demographic data, complaints and physical examination findings and complete blood count parameters of 52 patient sand 48 healthy controls who applied to the Department of Pediatrics in our hospital between 2018 and 2019 were evaluat. Results: The mean age of the patients was 3.3 ± 2.5 years, while it was 3.2 ± 2.6 years in the control group. The male and female percent of the patient and control groups were respectively 59.6% -40.4% and 60.4% -39.6%. There was no difference in age and gender between the groups. It was observed that the patients most frequently applied in May-June (63.6%). The most common complaint was rash (Şekil 1). En sık görülen başvuru şikayeti; el ve/veya ayaklarda döküntü (%100), ateş (%76,9) ve oral aft (%80,7) idi. Dermatolojik muayenede lezyonlar hastaların %92,9’unda el ve avuç içinde, %80,2’sinde ayaklarda, %72,5’inde ağız içinde ve %52,5’inde gluteal bölge, kol ve/veya bacaklarda izlendi. Ortalama ateş 37,6±0,8°C (100%), oral aphthae, (80.7%) and fever (76.9%). Four of the patients (7.6%) were hospitalized for various reasons. While the mean leukocyte value of patients who under went whole blood examination was 10459 ± 3485/ mm 3 , this rate was 6900 ± 2175 / mm 3 (p=0.019) in the healthy group. The mean MPV value in the patient and control groups were respectively 7.02 ± 1.49 fL, and 8.1 ± 1.2 fL (p=0.001). There was no difference between age, gender, diagnosis and MPV values between the patients who developed nail findings and those who did not (p=0.36). Conclusion: MPV value was found to be significantly lower than the control group. Therefore, we think that this value can also be used to predict patients who have not yet developed a rash.
目的:手足口病;发热是一种儿童期肠病毒性皮疹疾病,进展时伴有皮肤和粘膜病变。平均血小板体积(MPV)可能是一个比血小板计数更敏感的指标,作为各种疾病的临床兴趣的指标。在本研究中;我们试图找到关于MPV水平在手足口病中是否会改变的问题的答案,以及它是否可以作为确定未来发现(如甲软骨病)的指南。材料与方法:回顾性分析2018 - 2019年在我院儿科就诊的52例患者及48例健康对照者的人口学资料、主诉、体检结果及全血细胞计数参数。结果:两组患者平均年龄为3.3±2.5岁,对照组平均年龄为3.2±2.6岁。患者组和对照组中男性占59.6% ~ 40.4%,女性占60.4% ~ 39.6%。两组之间没有年龄和性别差异。5 ~ 6月患者使用频率最高(63.6%)。最常见的主诉是皮疹(Şekil 1)。En sık görülen ba vuru ;El ve/veya ayaklarda döküntü (%100), ateu (%76,9), ve oral aft (%80,7) idi。Dermatolojik muayenede lezyonlar hastaların %92,9 ' unda el ve avuç iinde, %80,2 ' in ayaklarda, %72,5 ' inde ağız iinde ve %52,5 ' inde臀侧bölge, kol ve/veya bacaklarda izlendi。口腔溃疡37.6±0.8°C(100%),口腔溃疡80.7%,发热76.9%。4例(7.6%)患者因各种原因住院。全血检查患者的平均白细胞值为10459±3485/ mm 3,健康组为6900±2175 / mm 3 (p=0.019)。患者和对照组的平均MPV值分别为7.02±1.49 fL和8.1±1.2 fL (p=0.001)。出现甲征的患者与未出现甲征的患者在年龄、性别、诊断和MPV值上无差异(p=0.36)。结论:MPV值明显低于对照组。因此,我们认为这个值也可以用来预测尚未出现皮疹的患者。
