The mean total score of the nursing students included in the study on the COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale was 2.80±0.44.

There was a significant difference between the students' grades, place of residence, and income status and their mean total COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale score and mean interactive/critical skills subscale score (p<0.05). On the other hand, the variables of gender, COVID-19 positivity, and COVID-19 positivity in family member(s) were not associated with COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy (p>0.05).

Early diagnosis and prediction are of great importance to prevent mortality in AP patients. Many prognostic scoring systems have been developed for AP to date. At the time of the initial assessment of attendance to the emergency department (ED), it is impractical to use existing prognostic scoring systems for patients with a diagnosis of AP in most patients. The prognostic performances of radiological and clinical scoring systems of 329 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis were compared in terms of C-reactive protein-albumin ratio (CAR) levels, mortality and severity according to Balthazar score. It was observed that the CAR value increased as the AP severity increased. For mortality estimation, the ROC curve was used for sensitivity, specificity, and cut-off values for each scoring system for CAR. When mild pancreatitis and severe pancreatitis were compared according to Balthazar score, the differences between CAR were statistically significant and positive correlations were present. The CAR value has been shown to be a useful clinical tool that can be used with its high predictive value. CAR has the advantages of being easily accessible, inexpensive, and having moderately high diagnostic power to predict AP severity.","PeriodicalId":10938,"journal":{"name":"Current Health Sciences Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9289588/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40574952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chemical composition of thyme essential oil was evaluated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method, antioxidant capacity by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) assay, antibacterial and synergistic properties were determined by disk diffusion method and cytotoxic activity by quantifying viable cells by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Thyme essential oil has an elevated antioxidant activity, antibacterial potential against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially on S. aureus and K. pneumoniae at the highest concentration tested (50µL/mL), also having a synergistic effect when combined with tetracycline (50µL/mL TEo with 10µg/mL Tcyc).

These oral medicines present a narrow therapeutic index and a large inter-and intra-individual variability. Within this work, a simple, accurate and rapid reversed phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-UHPLC) method with mass spectrometric (MS) detection for simultaneous analysis of two TKIs, ibrutinib and ruxolitinib, using pentoxifylline as internal standard (IS) in tablet dosage forms is presented. The separation was carried out on a Waters (Milford, Massachusetts, USA) Arc System coupled with a Waters QDa mass detector. The column used was a Waters CORTECS C18 (4.6×50mm, 2.7μm); a gradient elution was carried out using a mixture of ammonium formate 10 mM aqueous solution and acetonitrile. The flow rate of the mobile phase was set to 0.5mL/min. The column temperature was equilibrated to 40°C. The injected volume was 5μL. All samples were kept at 20°C during the entire analysis. Mass spectra were recorded in positive ionization mode in the range of m/z 100-400 for ruxolitinib and m/z 100-500 for ibrutinib. Quantification was established in single ion recording (SIR) mode for each compound, using pentoxifylline as internal standard. The method was validated according to International Guidelines in terms of stability, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, linearity, precision and accuracy. The validated method can be successfully applied for simultaneous determination of TKIs in tablet dosage forms.","PeriodicalId":10938,"journal":{"name":"Current Health Sciences Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9289587/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40574948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impairment of psychological status should be assessed early to identify quantifiable psychooncological changes, such as depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. These indicators, measured in this study, may become psychometric markers for predicting the existence of the neoplastic process, prior to histopathological evaluations.Methods: 58 patients diagnosed with breast cancer and in different stages of evolution and 61 breast lumps patients were evaluated for depression, anxiety and self-esteem.Results: The correlation of depression and anxiety levels according to the evolutionary stage of the disease was as follows: in stage I cases of severe depression with significant anxiety predominate, in stage II mild depression predominates with insignificant anxiety, in stage III depression predominates moderate with significant anxiety, while in stage IV moderate depression with significant anxiety predominates.Conclusions: The presence of significant anxiety in the uncertainty phase and the anxious-depressive clinical picture can be an alarm signal for the initiation of specific psychotherapeutic strategies, to increase the adaptive potential and resilience to the disease to ensure a therapeutic collaboration of the patient by increasing adherence and compliance. the proposed therapeutic plan.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the difference of SII and other inflammatory markers in patients with acne vulgaris compared to healthy controls and themselves after Oral isotretinoin (ISO) treatment.Materials and methods: In this study 190 patients with severe acne vulgaris who received at least 3 months of ISO treatment (0.5-1mg/kg/day) and 66 healthy individuals were evaluated. Hemoglobin, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, and platelet counts, mean platelet volume (MPV), Plateletcrit (PCT), NLR, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and SII were analyzed.Results: Before ISO treatment, patients with moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris had significantly higher neutrophil counts and SII levels than healthy controls (p=0.036, p=0.028; respectively). In the third month of ISO treatment, both neutrophil count and SII level were similar to healthy control (p=0.376, p=0.379; respectively). In the follow-up of patients using ISO, a significant decrease was observed especially in SII levels (p=0.037). Although the lymphocyte count was not significantly different from the control group before treatment, it increased significantly after ISO and was significantly higher than both the control and pretreatment period (p=0.134, P=0.026, p=0.017; respectively). Although NLR was not different from control in the pre- and post-treatment period, the change in neutrophil and lymphocyte counts after treatment caused a statistically significant decrease in NLR (p=0.682, p=0.289, p=0.043; respectively).Conclusions: We believe that SII is a more useful parameter as an indicator of the anti-inflammatory effect of isotretinoin.","PeriodicalId":10938,"journal":{"name":"Current Health Sciences Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9289579/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40573906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
