In this multidisciplinary study, we discussed the relationship between the three most used vitamin supplements in the Turkish population (vitamin D, vitamin B complexes, and multivitamins prepared for pregnant women) during pregnancy and tooth eruption time in babies. \u0000Materials and methods: The data of approximately 1,000 patients who gave birth in the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of our university were retrospectively reviewed. The babies of 145 patients who could be reached and who met the inclusion criteria were followed up in their postnatal period. Babies' first tooth eruption time, presence of caries, use of breast milk, and number of missing or excess teeth according to the month were determined. \u0000Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the groups regarding maternal age, infant age, number of caries, breast milk use, or the number of missing/excessive teeth. However, it was found that patients who took vitamin D + B and patients who took only vitamin B had significantly earlier first tooth eruption times than those who used all three vitamins. The patients who used three vitamins had the latest tooth eruption time. There was no statistically significant difference between first tooth eruption time and maternal age or breast milk use. \u0000Conclusion: The use of vitamins in pregnant women can affect babies' oral–dental systems, which develop while they are still in their mother's womb. More detailed information on the use of vitamins is needed in the future.","PeriodicalId":166758,"journal":{"name":"Middle Black Sea Journal of Health Science","volume":"165 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121454824","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 concentrations of hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, white blood cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes were evaluated. The neutrophil leukocyte ratio, platelet lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune-inflammation index were calculated. The antral follicle count reserves of all patients were evaluated by transvaginal ultrasonography. An independent t-test was used for the comparison of the study and control groups. Correlations between variables were analyzed using Pearson's correlation test. A p value of 0.05 was considered significant. \u0000Results: The results of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and the platelet-lymphocyte ratio showed a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.043). The Systemic Immune Inflammation Index value was the statistically significant difference found between the groups. There was a significant positive correlation between the systemic immune-inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and follicle stimulant hormone, while a significant negative correlation was found between the systemic immune-inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, antral follicle count, and anti-mullerian hormone. \u0000Conclusions: Our study was the first in this field to reveal the relationship between premature ovarian failure and the systemic immune-inflammation index. According to our study results, the systemic immune-inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio are significantly higher in individuals with ovarian failure.

These parameters can be an important indicator in various pathological processes and are essential for simulating the flow of aspiration and inspired particle transport. The aim of this study is to determine the trachea, the diameters of the right and left main bronchus, the angle of the carina and the angulations of the right and left main bronchus; To investigate the extent to its affects the foreign body aspiration localization. \u0000Method: In this study, pediatric patients under the age of 18 who came with a history of foreign body aspiration and underwent computerized tomography between 2017 and 2020 were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, anatomical localization of the aspirated foreign body, diameter of trachea, right main bronchus, left main bronchus, carina angle, branching angles of right and left main bronchus on CT. \u0000Results: Of the cases in this study, 13 (56.5%) were female and 10 (43.5%) were male, It was observed that the aspirated foreign body was on the left side in 12 (52.2%) children, and on the right side in 11 (47.8%) children. The mean age of the patients was 5.52±4.86. The right bronchial angle (RBA) mean of the children with the foreign body on the left side was 39.04 ± 6.68, with a significantly wider angle compared to the mean RBA in the children with the foreign body on the right side (p=0.013). \u0000Conclusion: The factor affecting the localization of the foreign body is the branching angle of the right main bronchus.

Although many definitions are made, sleep; is a complex and physiological event affected by pathophysiological, physical, psychological, and environmental factors. Anesthesiologists often work in closed environments and with long working hours, which can cause severe, chronic sleep loss and sleep disruption. Sleeplessness and low sleep quality can cause decreased attention during the day, impaired judgment, and delays in decision-making. This study, it is aimed to determine the sleep quality of Anesthesiology and Reanimation specialists working in Turkey. \u0000Methods: The study included all anesthesiologists whose e-mail addresses were registered with the Turkish Society of Anesthesiology and Reanimation and who worked in Turkey. Survey questions, which the participants can answer electronically, were sent to the participant's e-mail addresses. To increase the number of participants, a reminder email was sent three weeks after the first email. The data were expressed as a number, percentage, mean, and standard deviation and the correlation between the parameters will be evaluated at a 95% confidence interval by performing Pearson correlation analysis; p< 0.05 was accepted as significant. \u0000Results: Due to seven people with sleep disorders being excluded from the study, 210 out of 217 people who answered the questionnaires sent by email to the anesthetists who are members of the Turkish Society of Anesthesiology and Reanimation were included in the study. Of the respondents who worked in the following fields: 30% (n = 63) State Hospital, 33.3% (n = 70) University Hospital, 17.1% (n = 36) Ministry of Health Affiliate Hospital, 19.5% (n = 41) Private Hospital, and 73.3% (n = 154) at the Operating Room, 10% (n = 21) at the Intensive Care, 15.2% (n = 32) at the Operating Room + Intensive Care, and 1.4% (n = 3) at other departments, 48.4% (n = 105) were male, 51.6% (n = 112) were female, with a mean age of 41.5±7.6 years. The average hourly shift for the participants, 61% of whom were on the night shift, was 50 hours per month, and 25% were working more than 45 hours per week (Table 1). \u0000Conclusion: The sleep quality of anesthesiologists is poor, which causes daytime dysfunction.
