Öğe Analysis in terms of gender of morphometric characteristics of typical cervical vertebrae: A radiological study(2018) Özbağ, Davut; Çetin, Aymelek; Şenol, Deniz; Karaca, Leyla; Çevirgen, FurkanAbstract: The objective of this study is to examine the morphometric characteristics of C3-C6 vertebrae in the cervical region through radiological images and to find out how they differ in terms of gender. CT images of 27 men and 27 women between the ages of 18 and 40 who did not have any symptoms were included in the study. In the study, area of vertebra (AV), vertebral foramen (VF), right and left transvers foramen (RTF-LTF) areas, lateral diameter of vertebral foramen (VF-L) and anterior-posterior diameter of vertebral foramen (VF-AP) of 216 cervical typical vertebrae (C3-C6) were measured through radiological images. No statistically significant results were found between AV, VF, VF-L, VF-AP, RTF and LTF radiological measurements taken from the C3, C4, C5 and C6 vertebrae of men and women for the same vertebral levels and between the rates of VF, RTF and LTF areas covered in AV (p>0.05). Paired comparisons of vertebrae were conducted with independent samples t test. Statistically significant difference was found in VF-L in men between C3 and C5, in VF-L and LTF between C3 and C6 and in AV, RTF and LTF between C4 and C6; while AV and LTF were found to be statistically significant in women between C4 and C6 (p<0.05). We believe that knowing the radiological measurement values of AV, VF, RTF-LTF, VF-L and VF-AP in typical cervical vertebrae will be very important and instructive for clinicians who have a role in conducting surgical interventions to this area.Öğe Analysis of chippaux smirak index on dynamic balance scores(2020) Şenol, Deniz; Toy, Şeyma; Bilge, Damla; Özdemir, Beyza; Özbağ, DavutAim: The aim of this study is to examine whether Chippaux Smirak Index (CSI) calculated from footprint and measurements takenfrom foot have an effect on balance scores.Materials and Methods: 61volunteers (25 males, 36 females) between the ages of 18 and 24 were included in our study and 122feet were measured. Footprints of the participants were taken by using Harris imprint. Footprints were scanned, the parameterswere measured with Digimizer program and CSI was calculated. Metatarsal foot width (MFW), maximum metatarsal foot width(MMFW), length of the foot (LoFA), heel width (HW) and foot length (FL) taken from footprints were measured. Individuals withCSI >62.70% were considered as flatfooted and excluded from the study. Dynamic balance measurements were made with BiodexBalance System (BBS) (Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, 2000, New York). Overall (OA), anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral(ML) dynamic balance assessments of the participants were made with eyes open.Results: According to Mann Whitney U analysis results, statistically significant difference was found between MFW, MMFW, LoFA,HW and FL parameters of men and women in both feet (p<0.05). It was found that OA, AP and ML balance scores had a statisticallysignificant difference between men and women for dynamic balance (p<0.05). According to Sperman Rho correlation analysis, apositive correlation was found between weight and body mass index (BMI) and balance scores in men and women. It was found thatthere was no significant correlation between CSI and balance scores.Conclusion: As a conclusion, while no association was found between weight and BMI and CSI, a positive correlation was foundbetween weight and balance scores. We believe the fact that women have lower BMI gives them an advantage in terms of balancescores. In addition, it was found as a result of this study that there was no association between CSI and balance scores. We believethat our study will have an important place in literature and be a guide since we compared both genders.Öğe Analysis of the association between hand preference incidence in young healthy individuals and gender dominant eye 2D 4D ratio and hand grip strength(Azerbaijan Medical Association Journal, 2016) Çay, Mahmut; Şenol, Deniz; Çuğlan, Songül; Köse, Evren; Özbağ, DavutObjective: The purpose of this study is to examine the association between hand preference in young healthy individuals and handgrip strength (HGS), (which is accepted to be an objective measurement in the assessment of gender), 2D:4D ratio (ratio of the length of index finger to that of ring finger), eye dominance and upper limb performance. Methods: A total of 198 individuals, 111 males and 87 females, participated in our study. Oldfield Inventory was used to find out hand preference. Baseline hand dynamometer was used to find out HGS. The test developed by Rosenbach was used for determination of the dominant eye. For assessment of 2D:4D ratio, measurement was made starting from the basal fold of the finger to the fingertip. Results: According to the results of the statistical analysis, no significant difference was found between hand preference and 2D:4D (p>0.05). Statistically significant difference was found between eye dominance and hand preference (p<0.05). Statistically significant difference was found between right and left hand preference and right and left HGS of males (p<0.05). Statistically significant difference was found between right hand preference and right and left HGS of females (p<0.05), where significant difference was not found between left hand preference and right and left HGS of females (p>0.05). Conclusions: The association of hand preference with other parameters is important to determine cerebral lateralization. We believe that the result which shows hand preference was directly proportional to eye dominance and HGS means that these parameters can be a guide in determining the dominant hemisphere.Öğe Analysis of the dermatoglyphics of patients with obstructive sleep apnea(Medicine Science, 2019) Canbolat, Mustafa; Ermiş, Hilal; Çevirgen, Furkan; Şenol, Deniz; Karataş, Turgay; Köse, Evren; Özbağ, DavutÖz: Dermatoglyphics outside the normal distribution may be signal of hereditary anomaly in prenatal period. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is defined as the suspension of breathing for 10 seconds or more. Genetic predisposition can be suggesated in the OSAS. The aim of this study is to assess through dermatoglyphics whether genetic factors are effective in OSAS because skin glyphs and pharyngeal are originate from ectoderm. Our study was conducted with 134 volunteers, 68 (21 females, 47 males) individuals with OSAS and 66 (21 females, 48 males) healthy individuals. The photographs of the palms and fingertips of the right and left hands of the participants were taken with high definition cameras. These images were enlarged with computer and their dermatoglyphics were assessed. Fingertip loop types, total number of fingertip lines, total a-b line numbers and atd angles were assessed in healthy individuals and patients with OSAS. We found a statistically significant difference between the right and left hand atd values of healthy individuals and individuals with OSA. atd values can be used as an early indicator of OSAS.Öğe An analysis of the relationship between pulmonary-aerobic capacity variables defined via pulmonary function tests and anthropometric measurements of different somatotypes(Turgut Özal Tıp Merkezi Dergisi, 2016) Cay, Mahmut; Yılmaz, Nesibe; Şenol, Deniz; Çevirgen, Furkan; Uçar, Cihat; Özbağ, DavutAbstract Objectives? The aim of this study is (i) to detect pulmonary-aerobic capacity in different somatotypes by using body morphometry in sedentary subjects, and (ii) to show that pulmonary-aerobic capacity an be enhanced. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out at Inonu University Medical Faculty between the dates of May 1-30 in 2016. The study included 120 voluntary sedentary subjects, aged 20 to 26 years. Each subject was exposed to pulmonary function tests (PFT) three times through an acceptable technique. Such anthropometric measurements were taken to generate somatotypes by using method of Carter and Heath. Results? Six distinct somatotypes were defined. Pulmonary function test (PFT) performed on different somatotypes in accordance with Kruskal-Wallis test revealed that FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF and FEF25-75 values are not affected by somatotype (p>0.05). Such anthropometric measurements as biacromial diameter, chest depth, chest breadth, neck circumference, chest circumference and waist circumference are considered to be significant in measuring lung capacity. Besides, a statistically significant relation between these measurements and somatotype differences was apparent (p<0.05). Correlation analysis revealed that biacromial diameter, chest breadth, chest circumference and waist circumference had a positive relation with FVC, FEV1, PEF and FEF25-75; and that neck circumference had a positive relation with all the respiratory parameters. Conclusion: This study, we believe, will not only serve as a clinical resource for specialists in the area in terms of diagnosis and treatment, but also as an academic resource in the relevant literature. Keywords: PFT; Lungs; Somatotype; Anthropometry; Aerobic Capacity.Öğe Are visual and auditory reaction times influenced by Ramadan fasting? Neuro performance study on healthy individuals(2019) Şenol, Deniz; Kısaoğlu, Aysegul; Canbolat, Mustafa; Çalışgan, Elisa; Düz, Serkan; Açak, Mahmut; Özbağ, DavutAbstract: Aim: The purpose of this study is to find out whether visual and auditory reaction time (VRT and ART) is influenced by Ramadan fasting in healthy individuals in terms of neuro performance. Materials and Methods: 60 healthy individuals (30 male, 30 female) with the mean age of 20.22±1.45 years participated in the study. First reaction measurement was collected on the second week of the date Ramadan fasting started and this period was called fasting period. Second reaction measurement was collected five days after Ramadan fasting ended and this period was called post-fasting period. VRT and ART of the samples who participated in the study were made with reaction timer device. 10 trials for sound and light stimuli were taken from each sample. The first five trials were considered as exercise and the average of the last five trials was determined as reaction time. The analysis of VRT and ART in fasting and post-fasting periods was conducted with Wilcoxon matched pairs test. In addition, Mann Whitney U test was used to analyze whether there were differences between fasting and post-fasting periods of males and females in terms of VRT and ART. Results: No statistical difference was found between the VRT and ART of males and females in fasting and post-fasting period (p>0.05). Conclusion: In this study which examined the effect of fasting on VRT and ART, it was found that males and females who participated in this study were not negatively influenced by Ramadan fasting in terms of neuro performance.Öğe Aşil tendonu neden kopar?(İnönü Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Dergisi, 2016) Canbolat, Mustafa; Şenol, Deniz; Özbağ, DavutAşil tendonu vücudumuzdaki en güçlü tendondur.

Patients and methods: A total of 146 participants (88 males, 58 females; mean age 22.5 +/- 1.9 years; range 19 to 28 years) who had no symptoms were included in this study. Somatotypes of the participants were calculated using the Heath-Carter formula, and anthropometric measurements were taken from each participant. Knee flexion and extension muscle strengths at angular speeds of 90 degrees/sec, 120 degrees/sec and 150 degrees/sec were measured from the dominant and non-dominant limbs of the participants. Total balance, anterior/posterior balance, and medial/lateral measurements were made to evaluate dynamic balance performances. Results: Six different somatotypes were found. Endomorphic mesomorph was the most common somatotype in 56 participants. There was no significant somatotype difference in men and women for dominant and non-dominant knee extension and flexion peak strength values at angular speeds of 90 degrees/sec, 120 degrees/sec and 150 degrees/sec (p>0.05). No significant difference was found between the balance scores of men and women who had different somatotypes (p>0.05). Conclusion: Anatomic structure of the body, which is suitable for the sports branch, has an increasing effect on performance.Öğe Comparative effects of ovariectomy and flutamid on body-uterus weight and uterine histology in the ovariectomized rat model(2006) Saruhan Güney, Berna; Özbağ, Davut; Özdemir, Nurullah; Gümüşalan, YakupAbstract:Amaç: Ovarektomize ratlarda Flutamid kullanımının vücut ağırlığı ve uterus dokusu üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması.

Significant differences were found in right and left foot bimalleolar circumferences measurements and legindexes in men (P < .05). Significant differences were found in both genders in right and left foot MLA and tarsal heights (P < .05).Conclusion: It was found that PP affects not only the foot anthropometric measurements but also the hip, thigh and leg measurements.Early treatment for PP can provide irreversible lower extremity problems that cause lower quality of life.Öğe Detailed anatomical analysis of the sphenoid sinus and sphenoid sinus ostium by cone beam computed tomography(Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2016) Yılmaz, Nesibe; Köse,Evren; Dedeoğlu, Numan; Çolak, Cemil; Özbağ, Davut; Durak, Mehmet AkifAbstract: The aim of this study is the evaluation of the anatomical structures of sphenoid sinus ostium used as a reference point for transsphenoidal surgery by cone beam computed tomography. The authors’ study was performed using the cone-beam computed tomography images of 16 to 82-year old 200 (112 female, 88 male) patients (Newton 5G, Verona, Italy). Septum deviation of sphenoid sinus and the distance between 2 ostia were evaluated by coronal and axial sections, respectively. Pneumatization degree of sphenoid sinus, diameter of sphenoid sinus ostium, and distance lower edge of superior turbinate to sphenoid sinus ostium were measured by using sagittal sections. The sellar type was the most common pneumatization type of sphenoid sinus in authors’ study. While the C-type septum deviation was observed as the most common, T-type deviation was the least type. Sphenoid sinus ostium was bilaterally in 71.5% of individuals, and it was not found in 10% of individuals included in the study. A significant decrease was determined in diameter of the left sphenoid sinus ostium with aging. The distances between 2 sphenoid sinus ostia were 7.30 2.77 mm for women and 6.09 2.58 mm for men, respectively. No statistical differences were found in women and men in terms of distances between the lower edge of the right and left superior turbinate and sphenoid sinus ostium on their sides. Consequently, making detailed preoperative radiological evaluation of anatomic variations of sphenoid sinus and sphenoid sinus ostium is important in terms of guiding the surgeon in the process of a successful transsphenoidal surgery.Öğe Detailed anatomical analysis of the sphenoid sinus and sphenoid sinus ostium by cone beam computed tomography(Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2016) Yılmaz, Nesibe; Dedeoğlu, Numan; Çolak, Cemil; Özbağ, Davut; Durak, Mehmet AkifThe aim of this study is the evaluation of the anatomical structures of sphenoid sinus ostium used as a reference point for transsphenoidal surgery by cone beam computed tomography.

Consequently, making detailed preoperative radiological evaluation of anatomic variations of sphenoid sinus and sphenoid sinus ostium is important in terms of guiding the surgeon in the process of a successful transsphenoidal surgery. Key Words: Cone-beam computed tomography, sphenoid sinus, sphenoid sinus ostium, transsphenoidal surgery The sphenoid sinus is a double sinus located within the body of the sphenoid bone. Sizes, shapes, and pneumatization type vary from person to person. The bony septum that is located in the midline separates the 2 sinuses from each other.1 The sinus was surrounded with many important anatomical structures, neighborhoods internal carotid artery in the lateral wall, optic nerve at the superolateral and pterygoid nerve (The Vidian Nerve) at the base of the spheoid sinus.2 This sinus opens sphenoethmoidal recess by sphenoid sinus ostium that is located in the upper part of the front wall through the sphenoid sinus.3 The diameter of sphenoid sinus ostium is 2 to 3 mm, it is situated 11 to 14 mm above the base level of the sinus, 4 to 5 mm in lateral of nasal septum, 30 degrees above the base of the nose.4–6 The opening of sphenoid sinus ostium is one of the most important points in transsphenoidal surgery for surgeons. The surgical procedure is done by extending this opening. Closed or being in different positions of this opening can cause difficulty during surgical procedures.7 During the endoscopic and surgical transsphenoidal approaches, finding the ostium is not always easy. So the detection of detailed anatomical analysis this natural way and adjacent structures prior to transsphenoidal surgery may reduce complication incidence. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the anatomical structures of sphenoid sinus ostium used as a reference point for transsphenoidal surgery by cone beam computed tomography. At the same time, the anatomical variations and the pneumatization status of the sphenoid sinus were examined using the same method.Öğe Effect of increase in cortisol level due to stress in healthy young individuals on dynamic and static balance scores(2018) Yıldız, Sedat; Altay, Zuhal; Özbağ, Davut; Çevirgen, Furkan; Sert, Deniz Şenol; Uçar, Cihat; Çay, MahmutAbstract: OBJECTIVE: Stress is a condition caused by various factors and characterized by imbalance in body functioning, impair in nervous system, and tension. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of cortisol level, which increases in healthy young individuals due to stress, on dynamic and static balance scores as well as to present the results caused by high levels of stress. METHODS: In this study, 107 healthy medicine faculty students in their second year (who will take the same committee exam) aged between 19 and 23 years were included. The first balance measurements and saliva samples were taken 40 days before the committee exam, and this period was acknowledged as the relaxed period. The same students were considered for balance measurements again on the day of committee exam; saliva samples were collected, and cortisol concentration was determined. This period was acknowledged as the stressful period. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was given to the participants in their relaxed and stressful periods. Dynamic balance scores were measured with Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Static balance scores were measured with One Leg Standing Balance Test (OLSBT). RESULTS: The mean cortisol level was found to increase approximately 9 times in stressful periods compared with that in relaxed periods. STAI, which shows state anxiety, showed an increase supporting this increase. In stressful periods, dynamic balance scores showed obvious decrease in all directions. In addition, in stressful periods, an obvious decrease was observed in static balance scores compared with those in relaxed periods. CONCLUSION: This study showed that stress negatively affected dynamic and static balance, even for short periods of time. We believe that our study will form a positive source and basis when correlated with long terms stress and balance measurements.Öğe THE EFFECT OF POSTURAL KINESIOTAPING IN THE TREATMENT OF THORACIC KYPHOSIS(Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery, 2019) Çavuş, Fatih; Çetin, Aymelek; Korkmaz, Mehmet Fatih; Şenol, Deniz; Köse, Evren; Özbağ, DavutÖz: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out whether postural kinesio taping (KT) contributes to decreasing kyphosis angle in adolescents who have increased thoracic kyphosis. Within this context, our purpose was to contribute to treatment of thoracic kyphosis as an additional method. Material and Method: 50 adolescents between 10 and 18 years of age who referred to Orthopedics and Traumatology Polyclinic and who were diagnosed with thoracic kyphosis after required examinations participated in the study voluntarily. The patients were randomly grouped in two. One of the groups was exercise group (Ex), while the other was both exercise and taping (Ex-KT) group. At the beginning of the study, thoracic kyphosis values of all the patients in the study were measured by an orthopedist based on Cobb method. The groups consisted of 25 patients. Consent was taken from all participants with pediatric informed consent form. The same exercises were given to both groups. The patients were asked to make two types of exercises daily. The first exercise was 20 body hyperextensions in prone position. The second exercise was a rhythmic swimming movement done as if diving into the water and coming out of the water. This swimming movement would be done 5 minutes each day. The exercises were followed daily under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Only these exercises were given to Ex group. After Ex-KT group made the exercises, KT was applied on their upper backs. KT application was renewed each week. The participants were referred to the orthopedist again for measurement following a 6-week program. Final measurement results the orthopedist conducted with Cobb method were compared with the first measurement results. Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the average pre- treatment and post-treatment kyphosis degrees of males and females in the Ex group (p> 0,05). Statistically significant difference was found between the average pre-treatment and post-treatment kyphosis degrees of males and females in the Ex-KT group (p<0,05). Conclusion: In the present study, it was found that KT technique had positive results in terms of decreasing increased thoracic kyphosis. We are of the opinion that it will be useful to apply KT technique with other treatment protocols in the treatment of increased thoracic kyphosis. We believe that the results of this study will be a reference for future studies. We are of the opinion that studies with longer periods of time should be conducted to have a clear idea about the effects of KT on thoracic kyphosis.Öğe The Effect of Tracheal Diverticulum and Chronic Ostructive Lung Disease on Chest Anthropometry(2022) Denız, Mine Argalı; Ulubaba, Hilal Er; Arpacı, Muhammed Furkan; Çavuş, Fatih; Demirtaş, Gökhan; Karataş, Turgay; Özbağ, DavutAim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of tracheal diverticula (TD) on chest anthropometry and its relationship with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Material and Method: Between January 2019 and March 2020, 995 patients who underwent chest CT were retrospectively analyzed and TD was detected in 62 cases. Group 1 is only TD, Group 2 is TD + COPD, Group 3 is only COPD, Group 4 is defined as control group. We measured the localization, size, the distance to carina and vocal cord of TDs. In all groups chest diameters at T4 and T9 levels were measured as transverse and vertical plans. Results: TDs detected mostly at the T2 and T3 levels. In Group 1 and Group 2, there was a statistically significant difference the distance to TD of vocal chords. A statistically significant difference was found between Group 1 and Group 3 only in the anteroposterior diameter at the T4 and T9 levels.Conclusion: The fact that TDs, which we do not know clearly whether they are acquired or congenital, have different TD levels in COPD patients made us think that TDs may be acquired. We also observed that COPD affects TD localization and TD has the opposite effect in increasing anteroposterior chest parameters in COPD. Precence of TD is essential on COPD patients about thorax anthropometry.Öğe Effects of physical characteristics, exercise and smoking on morphometry of human Achilles tendon: an ultrasound study(2015) Canbolat, Mustafa; Özbağ, Davut; Özdemir, Zeynep; Demirtaş, Gökhan; Kafkas, Armağan ŞahinAbstract: Objectives: The aim of this study was to reveal the normal morphometric values of Achilles tendon using ultrasound (US)imaging in subjects of different gender, age groups, smoking status, and physical exercise habits. Methods: A total of 342 Achilles tendons were examined in the 171 volunteers (69 females, 102 males) with different age,gender, weight, height, smoking and physical exercise habits. Achilles tendon width, length, thickness, cross-sectional areaand length were measured using a commercial ultrasound machine with a 9-15 mHz linear-array transducer.Results: The average width, thickness, cross-sectional area and length of the Achilles tendon in male subjects were significantly higher than females. Tendon width, thickness, cross-sectional area and length showed no significant differencebetween the right and left side. With the exception of the left Achilles tendon thickness, measurements taken for non-smoking subjects were larger than smokers. Achilles tendon measurements of subjects engaged in sportive activities were significantly larger than those with sedentary lifestyle Weight and body mass index were the only anthropometric measurementsin correlation with Achilles tendon size. Conclusion: Achilles tendon size varies with age, gender, physical activity and smoking habits. The measurements presented in this study give normal variations of the tendon's morphologic characteristics, which will be of use in clinical diagnosis.Öğe Evaluating of the effects of ramadan fasting on ankle proprioception performance(2018) Özbağ, Davut; Çevirgen, Furkan; Cuglan, Songul; Şenol, Deniz; Çay, MahmutAbstract: Aim: Human body has an unmatched capacity to keep the correct posture against gravity. Balance is the most important factor for the stability of ankle joint. Ramadan is a special religious month of Muslim calendar (The Hegira calendar) which includes an integrated life style change in dietary habits, sleep pattern, daily life and social activities. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of fasting on ankle proprioception sense. Material and Methods: This study was attended by 30 of the first year students of the Faculty of Medicine of Inonu University. Ankle proprioception sense was measured at 10º dorsiflexion (DF), 11º plantarflexion (PF) and 25º PF angles in eyes open position (EOP) and eyes closed position (ECP) by using active reproduction test. Deviations from these angles were recorded as proprioception score. The measurements were made two weeks before Ramadan started and 2 weeks after Ramadan started when the students were fasting. Ankle proprioception measurement was conducted separately for right and left foot with digital inclinometer. Results: According to the results of Wilcoxon paired samples test, statistically significant difference was found between pre-fasting and fasting period in ECP 10º DF and 11º PF angles of the right foot and ECP 11º PF angle of the left foot (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a conclusion, we believe that fasting has an effect on proprioceptive sense, even though partly. Considering the difficulty of finding out the angles measured, associating the results with only fasting period is open to dispute.Öğe Evaluation of morphometry in extrahepatic bile ducts in preoperative and postoperative periods in diabetic and non - diabetic patients with cholelithiasis(2020) Karataş, Turgay; Özbağ, Davut; Ögetürk, Murat; Demirtaş, Gökhan; Şenol, Deniz; Çevirgen, Furkan; Canbolat, Mustafa; Köse, Evren; Dirican, Abuzer; Kanlıöz, MuratAbstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to find out and to compare the effect of cholecystectomy performed due to gallstone on the extrahepatic bile ducts morphometry in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Material and Methods: Three groups consisting of a total of 120 individuals. Diabetic patients with cholelithiasis (DC group) consisted of 40 person, non-diabetic patients with cholelithiasis (N-DC group) consisted of 40 person and healthy group (H group) consisted of 40 person. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on individuals with cholelithiasis. DHC (ductus hepaticus communis) diameter was measured below hepatic canal bifurcation from mucosa to mucosa by ultrasonography. The measurements were conducted in preoperative period and in the third and sixth postoperative months. Results: There were no significant differences between DC and N-DC groups in terms of DHC diameters in preoperative period and postoperative third and sixth months. In both DC and N-DC groups, DHC diameters in postoperative third and sixth months were found to show a small but statistically significant increase. Conclusion: This study showed a small but statistically significant dilatation in DHC following cholecystectomy. In addition, no statistically significant difference was found between DC and N-DC groups in terms of post- cholecystectomy DHC dilatation.Öğe Fiziksel Engelli Çocuklarda Beslenme Durumu ile Somatotip Profilleri Arasındaki İlişkinin Değerlendirilmesi(2021) Çiftçi, Rukiye; Kızılay, Fatma; Toy, Şeyma; Şenol, Deniz; Akyol, Betül; Ersoy, Yüksel; Özbağ, DavutFiziksel engelli çocuklarda beslenme durumu somatotip karaktertipini etkileyebilir. Bu çocuklarda beslenme durumunun olumsuzetkilenmesi aşırı zayıflığa veya aşırı kilo alımına, özelliklekilonun vücudun santral bölgesinde toplanmasına nedenolabilecek bir etkendir. Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda beslenmeninobezite ile ilişkisi bilinmekle birlikte, somatotip üzerine etkisiniaraştıran sınırlı çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada fizikselengelli çocuklarda beslenme durumunun somatotip karakterleriüzerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Çalışmaya 84 fizikselengelli çocuk katıldı. Çocuklar fonksiyonel engel seviyeleri KabaMotor Fonksiyon Sınıflama Sistemi (KMFSS) ile değerlendirildi.Çocukların yaş, boy, vücut ağırlığı, vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ)değişkenleri belirlendi. Somatotip karakter analizi Heath-Cartermetodu ile beslenme durumu ise Çocuk Beslenme Anketi (ÇBA)ile değerlendirildi. Çocuklarda ‘mezomorfik endomorf’, ‘endomezomorf’, ‘dengeli ektomorf’ ile ‘mezomorfi ve endomorfi’olmak üzere 4 somatotip karakteri belirlendi. Yapılan istatistikselanaliz sonucunda fiziksel engelli çocukların somatotipkarakterleri ile beslenme durumları arasında ilişki olmadığıbelirlendi (p>0.05). Fiziksel engelli çocuklarda somatotipkarakterleri ile beslenme durumları arasında ilişki bulunmadı. Budurum fiziksel engelli çocuklarda somatotip karakteri belirleyendiğer etkenlerin araştırılması yönünden dikkate alınmalıdır.Öğe Kimmerle s anomaly posterior osseous bridging of atlas(Medicine Science | International Medical Journal, 2015) Şenol, Deniz; Canpolat, Mustafa; Ulutaş, Nihal Sümeyye; Çay, Mahmut; Çuğlan, Songül; Köse, Evren; Özbağ, DavutKimmerle’s anomaly is a rare and serious pathology of the 1st cervical vertebra, which may sometimes lead to hardly explicable changes in vertebrobasilar circulation. Also known as ponticulus posticus (PP), this phenomenon encircles the vertebral artery and suboccipital nerve and is associated with vertigo, vertebro-basilar insufficiency, neck pain, shoulder pain and cervicogenic headache symptoms. It can also lead to migraine as a result of its interaction with dura. As the knowledge of this variant by clinicians is important for obtaining a fast result in the treatment, it should also be taken into account in surgical approaches so as not to harm the vessels and nerves in this area.
