Patients who had both complete blood count and MPV measurements were included in the study. Results: A total of 158 patients, including 51 females (32.3%) and 107 males (67.7%), were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 51±13 (min-18, max-82) years. OSA was detected in 74.1% (117/158) of the patients. It was determined that as the severity of OSA increased, hemoglobin and hematocrit values increased significantly. There was no significant difference in platelet count according to the presence and severity of OSA. The MPV was significantly lower in severe OSA cases compared to those without OSA and mild OSA cases. A negative correlation was observed between MPV and the apnea-hypopnea index, desaturation index, and the amount of oxygen saturation below 90% during sleep. There was no significant difference in median erythrocyte and thrombocyte counts, hematocrit percentage and hemoglobin values before and after treatment in OSA patients who used CPAP therapy. However, a significant decrease in MPV was observed after OSA treatment compared to pre-treatment. (p=0.021). Conclusions: The results of the study do not support an increase in MPV and hence platelet activation in severe OSA patients compared with those without OSA. However, the results suggest that one month of CPAP treatment reduces MPV and thus platelet activation in severe OSA patients. Further controlled, prospective studies including treatment outcomes are needed on this subject.","PeriodicalId":17884,"journal":{"name":"Konuralp Tip Dergisi","volume":"64 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139149547","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 Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy- Student Version, and N-GAMS were utilized to collect data; in addition to sociodemographic form. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis repeated a three-factor structure, as previously demonstrated. The Cronbach’s alpha of the Turkish N-GAMS was 0.887. Criteria-related validity analysis resulted as follows: Gender sensitivity was associated with higher empathy and higher benevolent sexism. Gender role ideology toward patients scores were related to the male sex, lower empathy, and higher levels of sexist attitudes regarding both hostile and benevolent types. Gender role ideology toward doctors was higher in male students, in those with lower empathy, and in ambivalent sexism. Turkish medical students in our sample were less gender-sensitive than their European counterparts. Conclusion: N-GAMS is valid and reliable among Turkish medical students.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the frequency of malignancy in patients diagnosed with autonomous (toxic) thyroid nodules (TTN). In addition, the effectiveness of ultrasonography (US) findings and fine needle aspiration (FNA) results in helping the diagnosis of malignancy were investigated. Methods: Autonomous (Toxic) thyroid nodule was diagnosed by presence of nodule on US in the presence of subclinical or clinical hyperthyroidism, and detection of suppression in other parts of the gland with increased activity in scintigraphy performed with Tc‐99m pertechnetate. Fine-needle aspiration was performed on patients who were considered suspicious by ultrasonographic findings. The histopathology results of the patients who were found to need surgical resection were recorded. Results: 125 patients with autonomous (toxic) thyroid nodules were included in the study. Of the patients, 82 (65.60%) were female and 43 (34.40%) were male, with a mean age of 63.55±11.13 years. Ultrasonography revealed that nodules were less frequently located in the isthmus and left upper pole. The presence of microcalcification was detected in 8 (6.4%) patients. Histopathologically, the nodules of 2 (1.6%) patients were found to be malignant. Both patients who were found to be malignant were male and their nodules were seen as hypoechoic on US. Conclusions: Since it has been seen that autonomic (toxic) thyroid nodules may be related to malignancy, careful evaluation of male patients with a hypoechoic image on US was considered appropriate.","PeriodicalId":17884,"journal":{"name":"Konuralp Tip Dergisi","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135695935","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}

This study aimed to examine the alterations in symptoms of children with ADHD during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: Sociodemographic data and ADHD symptom scores, measured using the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham scale (SNAP-IV) parent form, were obtained from patient files from the same educational year prior to the pandemic. In addition to pandemic-related inquiries, parents were requested to complete the SNAP form again to assess their children's current conditions. Results: Of the total 104 cases, 28.8% were female with a mean age of 10.5 (SD=2.4). There were no significant differences in ADHD symptom scores before and during quarantine. Participants who received regular online education had a significantly lower rate of externalizing problems. Children with parents who developed new onset negative emotional problems exhibited a significantly higher rate of internalizing problems. Participants whose fathers worked from home had a significantly lower rate of internalizing problems compared to children with fathers working in an office or who were unemployed. Conclusions: The pandemic did not induce changes in the core symptoms of ADHD.

In chronic and progressive conditions, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), this awareness can be as effective as pharmacological interventions. This study aimed to assess how aware diabetic patients are of the complications of their disease. Method: This cross-sectional survey included patients diagnosed with DM. A total of 14 survey questions, divided into 7 different categories, were directed at the patients. The singular questions evaluated the patients' awareness of the complications, while the associated-secondary questions aimed to inquire about the sources of their awareness.  Result: In this study, a survey was conducted with 300 diabetic patients, yielding a response rate of 90.2%. The mean age was 53 years. The level of awareness of complications was high among all patients (80.5%). The awareness level of ocular-related complications was the highest, while that of neuropathy was the lowest (50%). When patients were categorized by educational status, education increased awareness but decreased adherence to combined drug use. The patients' doctors were identified as the most significant source of support for raising awareness of complications. This support was further enhanced by the educational level. Conclusion: High levels of awareness of complications related to diabetes, still being primarily provided by doctors, and improvement of patients' educational status, can lead to a decrease in the number of patients with a poor prognosis. Therefore, increasing awareness of diabetes-related complications and improving patients' educational status may positively impact reducing the incidence of poor prognosis among diabetes patients.","PeriodicalId":17884,"journal":{"name":"Konuralp Tip Dergisi","volume":"239 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135395462","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}
