Öğe Determining ecological footprints of medicine faculty students and relevant factors(Scibulcom Ltd., 2018) Firinci B.; Gokce A.; Pehlivan E.; Turmus G.N.; Ozer A.Ecological footprint (EF) gives us clues about sustainable life and appears before us as an important indicator showing the burden of humans on this planet. The purpose of the present study was to examine the behaviours and the variables that affect these behaviours of doctor candidates, which represent an important profession in the world and in our country in this respect. The study was designed in cross-sectional fashion and was conducted in December 2017 with medicine faculty students. The dependent variables of the study were EF scores and the scores of the EF sub-components like food, house, travel, and other, and the carbon footprint (CF) score; and the independent variables were age, gender. EF score median (min-max) value of the study group was computed as 2.90 (1.78–7.09) kha, and the CF score median (min-max) value was computed as 11.69 (5.99–40.19) t. The travel component median (min-max) value was 0.93 (0.06–4.82) kha. The highest contribution to the EF was made by the transportation sub-component. In the light of the data of the present study, it was concluded that the medicine faculty students had information on the EF concept. This information must be increased with training that will be provided in the future. © 2018, Scibulcom Ltd.

Trichodynia may be associated with anxiety. Aim: To assess serum vitamin B12, folate, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), ferritin, and zinc levels, and to investigate anxiety in telogen alopecia patients with trichodynia. Materials and Methods: The study included 31 telogen alopecia patients who complained of trichodynia and 30 telogen alopecia patients without trichodynia. Their serum vitamin B12, folate, TSH, ferritin, and zinc levels were assessed and their anxiety levels were scored using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Results: No significant difference was found in the serum levels of vitamin B12, folate, TSH, ferritin, and zinc in the patient and control groups. The anxiety scores in both groups were similar. Conclusion: Our data provide no evidence for the association of serum vitamin B12, folate, TSH, ferritin, and zinc levels or anxiety scores with trichodynia.Öğe Induction of ploidy in some grapevine genotypes by N2O treatments(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2020) Kara Z.; Yazar K.; Dogan O.; Sabir A.; Ozer A.Polyploidy has been used in horticulture as a breeding tool to enhance characteristics such as flower size, flower number, plant size, increased width-to-length ratio of leaves and leaf thickness. Nitrous oxide gas (N2O) was applied to seedlings and zygotes of many plants as a polyploidizing agent instead of colchicine treatments. N2O application to obtain polyploid grapevines has not been tested before and has been used as a new approach in viticulture. In this study, N2O was applied in order to induce mitotic ploidy of 41B grapevine rootstock and ‘Trakya İlkeren’, ‘Gök Üzüm’ and ‘Ekşi Kara’ grape cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) single node cuttings. The application of N2O was performed for 24 h at 12000 kPa and 25°C, after the cuttings sprouted and hand 2-3 leaf developed at different stages of mitosis. The effects were evaluated by stomata traits (density, length, width, and area) and by flow cytometry (FC) analysis using a high-performance multi-laser system. The results showed that stomatas were morphological changed by N2O applications at a significant level. The stomata density was significantly decreased (-28%) in 41B rootstock; grapevine cultivars were also significantly affected. On the other hand, the FC analysis did not detect any polyploid induced plants. The present study reveals that polyploid frequency obtained using N2O was low in the tested rootstock and grapevine varieties; this was likely is due either to the sensitivity of the diploid rootstock and grape cultivars genotypes or to the N2Otreatment method. © 2020 International Society for Horticultural Science.

This descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted between November and December, 2014 at Inonu University Medical Faculty. After the researchers performed the literature review, a questionnaire comprising 39 questions was prepared, and the students were asked to fill them out. Nine hundred and eighty-four of 1,298 students (75.8%) participated in the study. Seventy-three point seven percent knew that the Ebola virus disease had high fatality rate, 51.9% of them knew that the primary method of infection was contact with the secretions of dead animals and humans, and 55.2% knew that it was transmitted via the blood of infected animals. The rate of knowing that there was no specific vaccination was 62.1%, while the knowledge that there was no specific treatment was 45.3%; 80.4% knew that all the people entering the patient’s room had to wear gloves and liquid-resistant aprons, and 77.3% knew that the number of the staff caring for the patient must be reduced to the minimum level. Three knowledge points were calculated in the study: ‘Knowledge Points on Ebola Virus Disease Factor Properties and the Methods of Infection,' ‘Ebola Virus Disease Symptom Knowledge Points,' and ‘Ebola Virus Disease Protection Knowledge Points.' In terms of these knowledge points, the knowledge levels of the students between the classes were significantly different. © 2017, SEAMEO TROPMED Network.

This study investigated the prognostic role of a simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) score and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) model. Methods: The study included 50 patients from the emergency and pulmonology department of one medical center between October 2005 and June 2006. The ability of the sPESI and ESC model to predict shortterm (in-hospital) and long-term (6-month and 6-year) overall mortality was assessed, in addition to the accurancy of the sPESI and ESC model in predicting short-term adverse events, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or major bleeding. Results: Of the 50 patients, the in-hospital and 6-year mortality rates were 14% and 46%, respectively. Fifteen (30%) of these experienced adverse events during hospitalization. Importantly, patients classified as low-risk according to the sPESI had no short-term adverse events as opposed to 4.8% in the ESC low-risk group. They also had no in-hospital, 6-month, or 6-year mortality compared to 4.8%, %14.3, and %23.8, respectively, in the ESC low-risk group. Conclusions: The sPESI predicted short-term and long-term survival. The exclusion of short-term adverse events does not appear to require imaging and laboratory testing. © 2014 Professional Medical Publications.

Method: Twenty-one healthy pregnant women (control group) and 48 patients with preeclampsia (study group) were included in the study between August 2010 and February 2011. Serum apelin, salusin-alpha and salusin-beta levels of the groups were compared. Results: The patients in the study group were divided into two categories: mild preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia. The mild preeclampsia group consisted of 31 patients, and the severe preeclampsia group consisted of 17 patients. Serum salusin-alpha and salusin-beta levels of the control and study groups were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Apelin levels were statistically significantly higher in the study group. No statistically significant difference was detected between the mild and severe preeclampsia groups in terms of the mean serum apelin levels. Conclusion: The serum levels of apelin were higher in the pregnant women with preeclampsia; however, there was no positive relationship between serum salusin-alpha and salusin-beta levels and the disease. Larger prospective studies are needed to validate our findings. © 2012 Informa UK, Ltd.
