    (Turk Nefroloji Diyaliz Transplantasyon Dergisi, 2016) Yilmaz, Tugba; Altunoren, Orcun; Atay, Didem; Ganidagli, Safa; Inanc, Elif; Gorgel, Fazil Ahmet; Kale, Taner
    Fungal peritonitis is an important reason of catheter loss among peritoneal dialysis patients. The most frequently isolated agents are Candida species and some patients do not respond to the treatment and die. Two siblings who lived in the same house and followed-up at our center were admitted to the hospital for peritonitis and both were transferred to hemodialysis as fungal peritonitis was detected. The enabling factor was considered to be poor hygiene. Hygiene is important issue for peritoneal dialysis patients, especially those who live in the same house.

    (Aves, 2011) Altunoren, Ozlem; Orhan, Fatma Ozlem; Nacitarhan, Vedat; Ozer, Ali; Karaaslan, Mehmet Fatih; Altunoren, Orcun
    Objective: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by diffuse body pain and is also regarded as a psychosomatic disorder. FMS is most commonly associated with depression among the psychological disorders. It is known that personality plays an important role in the etiology of psychosomatic disorders. In this study, we analyzed the temperament characteristics of FMS patients and healthy control group and, using data obtained from both groups, investigated whether these traits were associated with clinical features and depressive states in FMS patients. Methods: Fifty-one FMS patients and 51 healthy women were included in the study. Both groups were evaluated according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (text revision) (DSM-IV-TR). The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were applied to both groups. Results: According to DSM-IV-TR, 76.5% of FMS patients were diagnosed with psychiatric disorder. FMS patients had higher harm avoidance scores and lower self-directedness and persistence scores than healthy controls. Harm avoidance scores were found higher and self-directedness scores were found lower when the total corrected increment (TCI) points were used, but cooperation scores increased. HAM-D scores correlated positively with harm avoidance scores, but negatively with both self-directedness and cooperation scores. Conclusion: Depressive symptoms and personality features are related to the duration and severity of FMS, and therefore, should be further evaluated by physicians when planning the treatment and follow-up in FMS patients.

    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2022) Dheir, Hamad; Gungor, Ozkan; Ulu, Memnune Sena; Oguz, Ebru Gok; Eren, Necmi; Altunoren, Orcun; Tatar, Erhan
    Background/aim: This study aimed to investigate pregnancy frequency and evaluate the factors affecting live births in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Materials and methods: Female HD patients whose pregnancy was retrospectively reported between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019. The duration of HD, primary disease, and the information on whether the pregnancy resulted in abortion, stillbirth, or live birth, whether the HD duration was prolonged after diagnosing the pregnancy and whether it accompanied preeclampsia were recorded. Results: In this study, we reached 9038 HD female patients' data in the study. A total of 235 pregnancies were detected in 145 patients. The mean age was 35.42 (35 +/- 7.4) years. The mean age at first gestation was 30.8 +/- 6.5 years. The average birth week was 32 (28 -36) weeks. A total of 53.8% (no = 78) of the patients had live birth, 51.7% (no = 70) had at least one abortion in the first 20 weeks, and 13.1% (no = 19) had at least one stillbirth after 20 weeks. The rate of patients' increased numbers of dialysis sessions during pregnancy was 71.7%. The abortion rate was 22.4% in those with increased HD sessions, whereas 79.3% in those not increased HD sessions (p < 0.001). Live birth frequency was 67.2% in the increased HD sessions group and 3.4% in those who did not differ in HD sessions (p < 0.001). Conclusion: For the first time, we reported pregnancy outcomes in HD female patients, covering all regions of Turkey. It has been observed that; increasing the number of HD sessions in dialysis patients will decrease fetal and maternal complications and increase live birth rates.
