The main problem in NVG is the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) due to retinal ischemia caused by the underlying disease. Both the underlying disease and intraocular pressure should be treated in management of patients with NVG. The purpose of this review is to discuss etiology, pathogenesis, clinic classification and management of NVG. The main purpose in NVG management is to prevent the development of NVG by treating the underlying cause mainly proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS). If NVG has developed, then it will be necessary to both treat the underlying etiology and high intraocular pressure. Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and anti -VEGF drugs are important in the treatment of NVG. Anti-glaucomatous drugs that reduce the production of aqueous are used in medical treatment in the control of IOP. Medical treatment may be insufficient in the control of IOP. Surgical methods will be required when IOP is not controlled by medical therapy. Fibrosis that develop after trabeculectomy and tube shunt surgeries reduces the success of surgery. Applying preoperative anti-VEGF may increase the rate of surgical success. Cyclodestructive procedures should be preferred when other surgical methods fail and patients with poor visual prognosis.","PeriodicalId":210978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Medicine and Pharmacy","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127171837","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 efforts of preventing unprescribed antibiotic use as being implemented in Turkey so far since 2016 may have shaped this relationship. The purpose of the study is to determine knowledge level of the adults living in a rural neighborhood close to Aydın about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance, and their statuses regarding their use. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Aydın. Data were collected from 411 participants. 26 questions were used for the questionnaire. Knowledge-attitude level was determined with average of the number of correct answers given in the survey. Sociodemographic variables and the variables consisting pharmaceutical use variables were defined as independent variable. Linear regression analysis by SPSS 23.0 was for analysis of the data. Simple linear regression outputs were shown as Model 1, and outputs of the multiple linear regression analysis were shown by Model 2. Internal consistency Kuder-Richardson 20 reliability coefficient was calculated. It was determined that self-medication of antibiotics was too low as a result of restriction of unprescribed antibiotic use by the public. It was understood that those using prescribed antibiotics and receiving information from physicians had more knowledge about antibiotics. Having received high school and higher education increased the participants' knowledge-attitude level by 1.88 (1.13-2.64) points, having lived in a city in childhood increased it by 1.07 (0.32-1.82) points, having used antibiotic within the last one month increased it by 1.12 (0.30-1.94) points, and the fact the last used antibiotic is prescribed by doctor increased it by 2.99 (1.17-4.81) points. There may be need for a training program which would generalize the \"one health\" approach that would provide the opportunity to guide rational antibiotic use in both humans and animals.","PeriodicalId":210978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Medicine and Pharmacy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128838111","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 was carried using QLQ C30 and QLQ C29 form, out with patients who underwent SRC+HIPEC due to colorectal cancer in Cumhuriyet University Surgical Oncology Clinic. The QLQ-C30 quality of life scale is a globally used scale for patients with cancer. The scale consists of 30 questions for the past week. QLQ-CR29 is a quality of life questionnaire specifically designed for colorectal cancer. It consists of 29 questions evaluating disease symptoms, treatment side effects, body image, sexual status, and future prospects. The mean scores of the patients from the EORTC QLQ-C30 quality of life scale sub-dimensions; the general health score is 8.49 ± 2.54 functional scale 31.80 ± 2.18 and symptom scale 34.20 ± 3.32. When the ranking of the items in the QLQ-C30 scale according to their average scores is examined, the antecedents of vomiting, need for rest, financial difficulty, difficulty while walking for long and feeling fatigue are the predecessors that received the most average, respectively. When the ranking of the items on the QLQ-C29 scale according to their average scores is examined, frequent urination during the night, pain in the anal area, mucus in bowel movements, hair loss are the predecessors that received the most average, respectively. Although aggressive surgery is performed in cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, side effects and loss of function do not reduce the quality of life of patients. As a result of multidisciplinary studies, we believe that more progress will be made in improving the quality of life of patients.","PeriodicalId":210978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Medicine and Pharmacy","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117264631","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 sample of this prospective parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial included 90 neurosurgical patients who underwent anterior craniotomy in two medical faculty hospitals of a university in Turkey. The patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to the cold application, heparinoid or control groups. Those patients in the cold application group received cold application with gel pack on their periorbital areas for 20 minutes per hour for three days beginning from the 3 rd hour following craniotomy. On the other hand, the patients in the heparinoid group received heparinoid cream on their periorbital areas once at the 3 rd and 9 th hours after craniotomy and then four times/day at 6-hour intervals for three postoperative days. Periorbital edema and ecchymosis were evaluated for three days after craniotomy using Kara & Gökalan’s scale by blinded observers. In all the measurements after craniotomy, except for those at the 3 rd hour, the periorbital edema score of the cold application group was significantly lower than those of both the heparinoid and control groups (p<0.001). The upper and lower eyelid ecchymosis scores of the cold application group were significantly lower than those of both the heparinoid and control groups on the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd days after craniotomy (p<0.001). In the cold application group, periorbital edema score decreased significantly as the skin temperature decreased only on the 3 rd day after craniotomy (p=0.01).

Many factors such as neuromuscular diseases, familial transition, wrong shoe choice and systemic diseases play a role in HV etiology. The treatmalet and follow-up process of HV, which has negative effects on walking and quality of life when not treated, varies in different populations. The aim of our study is to determine the rate of HV in the young population and to determine the effect of factors such as wrong shoe choice and excess body weight. We conducted measuremalets on 300 students (120 male, 180 female) studying at the Faculty of Medicine of Sakarya University. The average age of the students was found to be 19.87 ± 1.55 (ss). Percentages of students' right foot HV angles; While 94 % mild type HV angle was determined as 6 % moderate type HV angle, severe type HV angle was not found in both sexes. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that that the pain intensity and loss of function related to HV were higher in female depending on the shoe preference. Surgical treatmalet of HV affects the physical appearance of individuals as well as negatively affects quality of life due to pain and loss of function, is a difficult process. Therefore, conservative treatmalet should be the primary choice. Careful evaluation of social parameters that are part of conservative treatmalet; will contribute positively to physicians and physiotherapists.","PeriodicalId":210978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Medicine and Pharmacy","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125224197","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}
