Introduction: World Health Organization stated that "vaccine hesitancy" is an essential global health threat worldwide. The aim of the present study is to establish the number of families that refuse the hepatitis B vaccine and evaluate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the debates about vaccines. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study examined hospital's birth records covering the last ten years. The number of births per each year was recorded. A list was made of the patients who declared that they did not want their babies to be given the hepatitis B vaccine after birth. Results: The total number of families who refused the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine was 103 in the last ten years. Vaccine refusal increased to 15 times in 2016, and 18.5 times in 2021, compared to the first years covered by the study. The most common reasons to refuse vaccination were websites (34.27%) and social media (24.51%). While the majority of the participants refused vaccination due to alleged harmful ingredients in the vaccine while others due to their religious or philosophical beliefs. The mothers had a significantly higher level of education with 71% having a bachelor's degree or higher. Conclusion: Contrary to expectation of increased belief in vaccines during coronavirus pandemic, vaccine refusal has increased. Reasons for vaccine refusal are both traditional and social media features and both personal accounts and healthcare professionals in these sources can mislead the society with confusing claims. The failure to effectively provide accurate information leads to an exponential increase in false information, thus risking public health and the gains of long-lasting struggles. Giriş: Dünya Sağlık Örgütü, "aşı tereddütünün" dünya çapında temel küresel sağlık tehdidi olduğunu belirtti. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hepatit B aşısını reddeden aile sayısını tespit etmek ve koronavirüs pandemisinin etkisini ve aşı tartışmalarını değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, hastanenin son on yılı kapsayan doğum kayıtları incelendi. Her yıl başına düşen doğum sayısı kaydedildi. Doğumdan sonra bebeklerine hepatit B aşısı yapılmasını istemediklerini belirten hastaların listesi yapıldı. Bulgular: Son on yılda hepatit B aşısının ilk dozunu reddeden ailelerin toplam sayısı 103'tür. Aşı reddi, çalışmanın kapsadığı ilk yıllara kıyasla 2016'da 15'e ve 2021'de 18,5 katına çıkmıştır. Aşıyı reddetmenin en yaygın nedenleri web siteleri (%34,27) ve sosyal medyadan (%24,51) edinilen bilgilerdi. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu aşının içerdiği zararlı maddeler nedeniyle aşılamayı reddetmiş, diğerleri ise dini veya felsefi inançları nedeniyle aşıyı reddetmiştir. Reddeden annelerin %71'i lisans veya daha yüksek eğitim derecesine sahip olmak üzere önemli ölçüde yüksek eğitim düzeyine sahipti. Sonuç: Koronavirüs pandemisi sırasında aşılara olan inancın artması beklentisinin aksine aşı reddinin arttığı görülmektedir. Aşı reddine neden olan bilgilerin kaynağı hem gel
引言：世界卫生组织指出，“疫苗犹豫”是世界范围内一个重要的全球健康威胁。本研究的目的是确定拒绝接种乙肝疫苗的家庭数量，并评估冠状病毒大流行的影响和关于疫苗的争论。材料和方法：这项回顾性研究检查了医院过去十年的出生记录。记录了每年的出生人数。列出了一份患者名单，这些患者宣称他们不希望自己的婴儿在出生后接种乙肝疫苗。结果：在过去十年中，拒绝接种第一剂乙肝疫苗的家庭总数为103个。与该研究涵盖的头几年相比，2016年拒绝接种疫苗的次数增加到15次，2021年增加到18.5次。拒绝接种疫苗的最常见原因是网站（34.27%）和社交媒体（24.51%）。而大多数参与者拒绝接种疫苗是因为疫苗中的有害成分，而其他人则是因为他们的宗教或哲学信仰。这些母亲的教育水平明显更高，71%的母亲拥有学士学位或更高学历。结论：与冠状病毒大流行期间人们对疫苗的信心增加的预期相反，疫苗拒绝接种的情况有所增加。拒绝接种疫苗的原因既有传统媒体的特点，也有社交媒体的特点。这些来源中的个人账户和医疗保健专业人员都可能用令人困惑的说法误导社会。未能有效提供准确的信息导致虚假信息呈指数级增长，从而危及公共健康和长期斗争的成果。Giriş：Dünya SağlıkÖrgütü，“aşıtereddünün”Dünnaçapında temel küresel Sağlşk tehdidi olduğunu belirtti。这项研究的目的是确定拒绝乙型肝炎的家庭数量，并评估冠状病毒大流行的影响和总体争议。要求和方法：在这项回顾性研究中，对患者过去十年的出生记录进行了调查。每年都会记录出生人数。出生后，一份患者名单显示，他们不希望制造乙肝。事件：在过去十年中，拒绝接种第一剂乙肝疫苗的家庭总数为103个。他拒绝了，与工作的头几年相比，他在2016年和2021年外出了15到18.5次。最常见的拒绝原因是在网站（%34,27）和社交媒体（%24,51）上收集的信息。大多数参与者因为过去含有有害物质而拒绝被超过，而其他人则因为宗教或哲学而拒绝被超出。通过拒绝，71%的母亲受过高等教育，拥有更高的执照或高等教育程度。Sonuç：Koronavirüs pandemisi sırasında aşılara olan inanceın artmasıbeklentisinin aksine aşîreddinin arttığıgörülmektedir。被否认的信息来源是传统媒体和社交媒体机制，参与这些来源的个人账户和卫生专业人员可能误导公众。事实上，真正的知识是无效的，因为增加不正确的信息会危及人们的健康和长期斗争的利润。

Introduction: Many permanent problems can be seen together in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Therefore they need lifelong care and there are many factors that affect the family life of children with CP. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between factors such as the level of independence in daily living activities in children with CP, motor function levels, type of CP, and emotional state, cooperative activities, self-time, and family adjustment in the family. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and sixteen children with CP in an age range of 4-18 years were included in the study. The relationship between the WeeFIM, motor function levels, the number of siblings, and the parental impact-emotional, parental impact-time, family activities, and family cohesion domains of the CHQ-PF50 were examined. The effects of the type of CP on family life were investigated. Results: A positive weak correlation was observed between the WeeFIM, the number of siblings and CHQ-PF50 values (p<0.05). A negative weak correlation was observed between the motor function levels and parental impact-time (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that family life was positively affected with the increase in the independence levels of the children with CP in daily living activities. As the motor function levels of children with CP deteriorated, families were negatively affected in terms

Introduction: Beta-thalassemia major (BTM) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by hemolytic anemia. Increased iron load accumulating in the body as a result of frequent erythrocyte transfusions leads to endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular complications. High asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels disrupt endothelial function. Endocan is a soluble proteoglycan synthesized in vascular endothelial cells in many organs. High levels of endocan indicate endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to determine whether there is a correlation with cardiac evaluation instruments by evaluating circulating ADMA and endocan levels in BTM patient group and healthy control group and whether they can be a prognostic marker in terms of endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular risk stratification. Materials and Methods: A total of 39 patients with BTM and 39 age and gender-matched healthy children were enrolled in the study. Medical histories of all patients were recorded and physical examinations were performed. Complete blood count, reticulocyte count, serum ferritin and the iron level, liver, renal function tests, plasma ADMA and endocan, and proBNP. Cardiac examination results were evaluated on all children in both patient and control groups by a pediatric cardiologist. Results: Mean ADMA level in the BTM group is higher than in the control group. Endocan levels in patients with BTM were not found to be statistically different. Serum endocan and ADMA levels were not associated with cardiovascular functions. Conclusion: Although serum levels of ADMA were found to be significantly higher in BTM patients, high serum endocan and ADMA levels were not associated with cardiovascular functi-ons.
