Thus,\u0000the objective of the present study was to investigate whether there was a relationship between color preferences and impulsive behavior.Method:Socio-demographic information, anxiety levels, depression and impulsivity levels of 200 individuals aged 18-50, which were selected randomly, were assessed.\u0000Beck Anxiety (BAI), Beck Depression(BDI) and Barrat Impulsivity Scales(BIS) were applied to all participants. They were asked the first color that comes to mind and their\u0000favorite colors. Preferred colors were divided into three groups of cold (blue, purple, green), warm (red, yellow, pink, brown) and neutral colors (black, white, grey).Results:Study group included 87 males (43.5%), 113 females (56.5%) and their mean age was 26.9±6.2 years. (female mean age: 25.9±5.5; male mean age: 28.1±6.9).\u0000The first color that came to mind was blue (32%), followed by red (20%). Their most favorite colors were blue (33%) and black (20%). BIS total points were the highest for\u0000those who chose yellow, blue, purple and black colors, respectively. BAI was the highest in participants who preferred color black and BDI was the highest in participants\u0000who preferred color grey. Those who scored the highest points in BAI and BDI preferred neutral colors. Anxiety scores for those preferring cold, warm and neutral colors\u0000were statistically significantly different (p=0.02).Conclusion:Color preferences are closely related to impulsivity. Furthermore, anxiety and depression levels of individuals also affect their color preferences.","PeriodicalId":12017,"journal":{"name":"European journal of general medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88057723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated the 3-year outcomes including patient and graft survival, graft function and safety profle.Results:3-year patient and graft survival in SRL and Tac groups was 93.1% vs. 100% (P=0.04), and 89.7% vs. 100% (P=0.04), respectively. However, the SRL group had signifcantly better renal function, from the second year post-transplant until the last follow-up. Four (13.8%) patients in the SRL group and 3 (10.3%) in the Tac group (P=0.5) developed biopsy proven acute rejection. Mean urinary protein excretion increased signifcantly after SRL conversion. Diastolic blood pressure was signifcantly lower in patients who eliminated tacrolimus (80.4 vs. 75.6 mmHg) (P = 0.03). Mean hemoglobin concentrations decreased after SRL conversion and remained signifcantly lower from 12 months to 36 months (P=0.01). The mean serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels increased signifcantly in the SRL group, (P < 0.05).Conclusions:our experience demonstrates that conversion to sirolimus from calcineurin inhibitors (CNI)-based therapy may result in better renal function and blood pressure control in renal transplant recipients without an increased risk of acute rejection. However, these benefts have not resulted in a growing advantage in graft or patient survival.","PeriodicalId":12017,"journal":{"name":"European journal of general medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82507170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathogenesis of OSAS is still not clear, although studies showing that OSAS is caused mainly by upper respiratory tract stenosis mainly at\u0000nasopharynx. The purpose of this study is to show the paranasal sinus (PNS) pathologies and nasal cavity volume, nasopharynx volume and adenoid diameters of OSAS\u0000patients, and correlate the multi detector computed tomography (MDCT) findings with severity of the disease.Methods:A total of 48 (34 male and 14 female) OSAS patients were evaluated retrospectively between November 2011 and July 2012. Polysomnography and MDCT was\u0000performed to all patients.Results:Mean age of the patients were 45.46±8.82 years. The body mass index grades were normal weight in 5 (10.4%), overweight in 13 (27.1%), obese in 30 (62.5%)\u0000patients. The OSAS were graded as mild (5 patients, 10.4%), moderate (16 patients, 33.3%) and severe (27 patients, 56.3%) according to their polysomnography findings.\u0000The correlation between OSAS grades and radiological measurements were low. There was no difference between gender regardless from the OSAS grades (p≥0.05).Conclusion:OSAS patients have nasal septal spur formation and septal deviation which may aggravate their syndrome. PNS MDCT is important to demonstrate these\u0000disorders. Further studies comparing patients and controls may show 3D volumetric changes of the PNS region.","PeriodicalId":12017,"journal":{"name":"European journal of general medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89864553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Literature shows that the reported prevalence of FT ranges from 49-100%. This study investigates the prevalence of FT in South-eastern population of India using surface anatomy techniques in living subjects and comparing it with the studies available in the literature.Material and Methods:Study included the evaluation of 195 subjects from Year 1 & 2 medical students (102 females and 93 males) which correspond to 390 feet in total. The average age of the sample was 17.9 years, with lower and upper limits of 17 and 20 years, respectively. The presence of FT was identified with a standard palpation technique that determines the presence of muscle on the basis of the progression tests called F1, F2, and F3.Results:The total FT prevalence was found to be 52% of the sample. On the right foot, FT was found to be 26.6% in males and 24.6% in females and on the left foot, it was 27.2% in males and 25.6% in females. FT palpation criterion showed 0 (zero) cases for F1, 31 cases for F2 and 172 cases for F3.Conclusions:This surface anatomical study reports for the first time the FT prevalence in South-eastren population of India. Further studies on prevalence of FT are needed to understand its role in biomechanics and reconstructive surgeries of the ankle and foot.","PeriodicalId":12017,"journal":{"name":"European journal of general medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90235284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
