    (2019) Gokmirza Ozdemir, Pinar; Yazicioglu, Mehtap; Ones, Ulker; Ceylan, Mahir; Dogru, Mahmut; Berberoglu, Ufuk
    Aim: To investigate teachers’ knowledge and preparedness of schools about food allergy and anaphylaxis in elementary schools in Edirne city.Material and Methods: The study was performed as a cross sectional survey study. Questionnaires were answered by 560 teachers, all of them were working in 35 public elementary schools in Edirne. In addition to questions concerning food allergies, teachers were asked about their attitudes in the case of a life-threatening food-induced allergic reaction. The presence of a nurse or other trained personnel, an action plan for management of anaphylaxis, and/or epinephrine availability and use in these schools in the case of such a reaction were also evaluated.Results: The vast majority of teachers (97.3%) reported they had not been informed about food allergies, and only 19.1% stated that “shock” may be related to a food allergy situation. Only 4 schools (11.4%) employed a nurse. Examination of school drugs cabinets revealed no epinephrine in any school, and none of the students were found to carry epinephrine autoinjectors. Furthermore, none of the schools had an emergency action plan related to food-induced allergic reactions. Conclusion: The current study revealed an urgent need to inform elementary school teachers of Edirne about food allergies and their treatment and to improve access to emergency treatments and action plans.

    The evaluation of our newborns cases operated due to necrotizing enterocolitis
    (2017) Korkmaz, Levent; Baştuğ, Osman; Daar, Ghaniya; Korkut, Sabriye; Halis, Hülya; Özdemir, Ahmet; Ceylan, Mahir; Güneş, Tamer; Öztürk, Mehmet Adnan; Kurtoğlu, Selim
    Abstract:Aim: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of newborns operated due to necrotizing enterecolitis (NEC) in newborn intensive care unit and to evaluate the mortality of these patients. Material and Methods: The research was designed retrospectively. The study included 39 patients operated due to NEC in our newborn intensive care unit between January 2010 and December 2015 and their characteristic factors and prognosis were evaluated. Results: The average gestational age and weight at birth of the newborns were 31.5±3.7 weeks, 1861±817 g respectively. There were significant differences between the newborns who died and survived in respect to birth weight, age at the time of operation, presence of antenatal steroid application, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, intestinal presence of perforation, blood culture positivity (p<0.05 for all comparisons). Conclusion: NEC is the most common life-threatening gastrointestinal emergency experienced by premature infants cared for in the newborn intensive care unit. It is thought that the most important ethiologic factors are prematurity, hypoxia and enteral nutrition. At the same time, it is a devastating gastrointestinal disease that is associated with severe sepsis, intestinal perforation, and significant morbidity and mortality. Its mortality and morbidity rates have been reduced due to developments in newborn intensive care. However, mortality rate is still high among newborns operated due to NEC. For these reasons our thought is that promptly arranged operation time can help to reduce the frequency of mortality.
