    The Effect of Sociodemographic Variables, Body Image and Self-Esteem on Undergoing Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Procedures in Turkish Women: Cross-Sectional Research
    (OrtadogŸu Reklam Tanitim Yayincilik Turizm Egitim Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., 2021) Cansel N.; Güldoğan E.; Altunişik N.
    Objective: Previous studies conducted in different populations have stated that demographical and psychological factors such as low self-esteem and body image are important motivations to undergo minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. This study investigates these factors that are expected to predict motivation for such procedures in Turkish women. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in August 2020 using an online survey with the virtual snowball method. The participants completed a questionnaire that investigated their sociodemographic variables, psychiatric disorder history, cosmetic procedures, motivation sources; including questions from the Rosenberg Self-Esteem and Body-Cathexis Scale. Results: The data of 1,244 women were included. 62% have had some sort of cosmetic procedure. The most commonly performed was laser procedures (79.5%). The most important source of information and motivation was doctors. There was a positive correlation among increasing age, graduating university, having a job, having a high monthly income, and the rate of cosmetic procedures. The presence of a psychiatric disease did not decrease this rate. While there was no correlation between body perception, self-esteem scores and the total rates of cosmetic procedures, the self-esteem scores of those who had botulinum toxin injection, dermal fillers, and platelet-rich plasma were higher than those who had other procedures. Conclusion: This study provides information about psychosocial factors that predict interest in minimal cosmetic procedures. Unlike previously known predictors, body image and self-esteem were not effective. The results may contribute to a better understanding of the factors that may be motivational for undergoing cosmetic procedures. © 2021 by Türkiye Klinikleri.

    A Retrospective Evaluation of Serological Results of Cystic Echinococcosis Suspected Cases Admitted to Adıyaman Training and Research Hospital Between 2013-2020
    (Galenos Publishing House, 2022) Çelik T.; Alev C.; Akgün S.; Güldoğan E.; Şahin F.
    Objective: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is prevalent, especially in animals in Turkey and stands as a significant zoonose. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate the indirect hemagglutination (IHA) tests results performed on samples of CE suspected patients in microbiology laboratory of our hospital. Methods: One thousand six hundred-seven files of patients admitted to hospital between January 2013 and December 2020 were examined for the presence of anti-E. granulosus immunoglobulin G antibodies. The patient’s socio-demographic characteristics and radiological data were obtained from the hospital automatization system. Results: A total of 1.607 file records; 644 (40.1%) males and 963 (59.9%) females, aged between 1-96 years (average 45.26±19.91) were examined. It was found that 244 (15.18%) of the patients were positive, 78 (4.86%) were determined at an intermediary value and 1.285 (79.96%) were negative. According to the IHA method a titer of 1/320 and above were evaluated as positive. Compared to anti-E. granulosus IgG antibody titers 164 radiological data; while 28.6% of 21 patients who are evaluated as negative (1/80) and 46.2% of 78 patients who were evaluated as intermediary titer (1/160) had cystic lesion in the radiological findings. Conclusion: Based on the data, it is suggested that while interpreting the patient’s serum antibody titers, patient’s clinical and radiological findings should also be taken into account. If possible, it should be used along with another serological method like ELISA to assist CE patient’s diagnosis and treatment. © 2022 Turkish Society for Parasitology.
