ÖZ Objective: Epicardial adipose tissue is the local energy source for the contraction activity of the heart. However, chemerin is a novel chemoattractant adipocytokine released from adipose tissue. Chemerin and its receptor have been detected in epicardial adipose tissue and cardiomyocytes. The relationship between chemerin and cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, and atrial fibrillation has been demonstrated in previous studies. As the causes of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which is one of the many types of arrhythmias, are still clearly unknown, SVT is still an important source of life-threatening morbidity. In the present study, the purpose was to determine possible relations between plasma chemerin level, which had relation with cardiovascular diseases, with SVT. Methods: A total of 62 patients, who were diagnosed as having SVT by the cardiology clinic, and 27 controls were included in this study. Hematological and serum biochemistry parameters were analyzed. The plasma chemerin concentrations were measured with the ELISA technique. Results: Chemerin levels were higher at statistically significant levels in SVT group compared to the control group (p<0.001). The heart rate per minute was significantly lower in the control group compared to the patient group (p<0.001). The Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed that there was a positive correlation between chemerin levels in plasma and average heart rate. Also, neutrophil/

ÖZ Objective: Exercise is a cornerstone in the management of spondyloarthritis (SpA). The aim of this research was to compare the levels of physical activity (PA) and perceived advantages and barriers to exercise of SpA patients with population controls. Methods: In this cross-sectional study 200 patients (118 males, 82 females) and 100 controls (50 males, 50 females) were included. Levels of PA were evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form and perceptions of exercise were assessed using Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale. Fatigue, psychological status and quality of life of all participants were questioned. Disease activity, functions and mobility of the patients were also assessed. Correlations were analyzed between disease parameters and perceptions of exercise. Results: PA levels were similar on both groups. Of the patients 65% met recommended amount of exercise. Deterioration of psychological status and quality of life were associated with decreased PA levels of the patients. Patients reported fatigue and lack of time barriers more than controls. When disease activity, functionality, mobility, fatigue, psychological status and quality of life of the patients deteriorated, perceived barriers to exercise increased. Conclusion: Health professionals should focus on personal barriers to improve exercise behavior in SpA patients.

ÖZ Objective: The rib fracture, which is one of the most common consequences of chest trauma, can cause respiratory distress, and even mortality if not properly treated. There’s still limited data on the length and frequency of follow-ups in terms of the challenges that may arise after an uneventful follow-up. The focus of this research is to standardize the optimal follow-up time in patients with rib fracture. Methods: Patients with isolated chest trauma who were admitted to the Emergency Department or were referred to the Thoracic Surgery Clinic from other hospitals within a year were included in our study. The study did not include any patients who needed thoracic intervention. Rib fracture complications were observed both during and after hospitalization. Results: Complications did not develop in the majority of patients during hospital follow-up and discharge, but haemothorax was the most prevalent (21.4-12.2%) within the first 72 hours and at discharge. Conclusion: Patients with rib fractures who are followed up and discharged may develop fatal consequences. When patients with recent rib fracture present to the emergency department, the emergency room physician should be alert about long-term problems.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and ergonomic conditions in Karadeniz Technical University students who received distance education due to coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Methods: The population of this descriptive study consisted of 33,219 students at Karadeniz Technical University. Three hundred two university students selected using the convenience sampling method were included in the study by completing the questionnaire completely. Participation in the research was based on volunteering. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic and personal characteristics, online education and work environment characteristics, Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire and International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form. Results: The mean of participants' Total Cornell Score was 76.6 +/- 97.3 (0-624). The chairs used by 205 (67.9%) of the participants during the lesson did not have wheels and 360 degrees rotation feature. Total Cornell Score of the participants without head-neck and lumbar support was statistically significantly higher than those with head-neck and lumbar support (p values were 0.009 and 0.006, respectively). The Total Cornell Score was statistically significantly higher in the participants who could not put their feet on the ground completely while sitting on the chair compared to the participants who could keep their feet on the ground completely (p=0.018). The Total Cornell Score was statistically significantly lower in those who had adequate lighting in the room used during the lesson than those who did not have (p=0.028). Conclusion: This study showed the importance of providing ergonomically appropriate conditions in the working environment in order to prevent musculoskeletal disorders.
