    Correlations between objective and subjective tests of nasal patency in patients undergoing septoplasty
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2023) Karatas, M.; Koparal, M.; Yilmazer, C.; Kelles, M.
    ObjectiveThis study assessed correlations between pre- and post-operative objective and subjective nasal patency test results in patients undergoing septoplasty to treat nasal septum deviation. MethodEighty nasal septum deviation patients who underwent septoplasty were prospectively enrolled. Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation questionnaire scores, anterior rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry data were compared pre-operatively and three months after surgery. The left, right and total volume and left, right and total minimum cross-sectional area acoustic rhinometry values were compared. ResultsThe left volume, total volume, left minimum cross-sectional area and total minimum cross-sectional area differed significantly between the two time-points (all p < 0.05). The total resistance, inspiratory total airflow, expiratory total resistance and expiratory total airflow rhinomanometric data did not differ between the two timepoints (all p > 0.05). ConclusionThis study suggested that subjective tests such as the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation questionnaire are optimal to identify complaints and assess post-operative satisfaction.

    Evaluation of the performance of simple laboratory parameters used in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Karatas, T.; Selcuk, E.; Karatas, M.; Yildirim, A.; Bitirim, M.; Orman, I
    Background: Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common emergency surgery. Aim: To evaluate the performance of laboratory parameters used in the diagnosis of AA. Subjects and Methods: There were two groups. In both groups, leukocyte (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), red cell distribution width (RDW), and platelet distribution width (PDW) values were examined in complete blood count (CBC). In addition, serum bilirubin (total bilirubin and direct bilirubin) values were examined. All laboratory parameters studied were compared to evaluate their diagnostic performance. Results: A total of 128 people were in the AA group and 122 people were in the healthy group (control). WBC count, neutrophil count, NLR, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and PDW values were significantly higher in the AA group than in the control group (P value <0.05). Lymphocyte counts and MPV values in the AA group were significantly lower than in the control group (P value <0.05). The sensitivity and selectivity of the WBC and neutrophil counts in AA were 95.13%, 89.34%, 94.53%, and 93.44%, respectively. The sensitivity and selectivity of the total bilirubin values were 59.38% and 73.77%, respectively. Area under the ROC curve (AUC) values within 95% confidence interval were over 0.900 for neutrophil count, WBC count, direct bilirubin, NLR, and PDW values. AUC values for total bilirubin, lymphocyte count, RDW, and MPV values were below 0.700. Conclusions: Diagnostic performances of the laboratory parameters were determined as follows: neutrophil count > WBC count > direct bilirubin = NLR = PDW > total bilirubin = lymphocyte count = RDW = MPV.

    Human milk banking and milk kinship: perspectives of religious officers in a Muslim country
    (Springernature, 2015) Ozdemir, R.; Ak, M.; Karatas, M.; Ozer, A.; Dogan, D. G.; Karadag, A.
    OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to determine the knowledge, attitudes and views of the Muslim religious officers regarding infant feeding, breast milk, wet nursing, milk kinship and human milk banks (HMBs). STUDY DESIGN: A total of 401 religious officers were included in the study. Participants included 355 community service religious officers and 46 faculty religious officers. RESULTS: Two hundred fifty-four (63.3%) participants were in favor of administering donor human milk when breast milk is not available from the mothers. To the question 'What kind of human milk bank would you approve as far as the religious sensitivity is concerned?' a majority of the religious officers (71.3%) responded that they would only approve if the milk pool contained a restricted HMB where a limited number of recipients were allowed to use the mixtures in these milk pools. Only 7 (1.7%) participants advocated initiating Western-style HMBs in Turkey. CONCLUSION: Turkish religious officers have revealed that they would only approve the establishment of an alternative HMB by a maximum three donors where up to three recipients whose identities are known by one another are allowed to use donor milk from each milk pool.
