{"title":"How Russian-Ukrainian War Changed the Usage of Telemedicine: A Questionnaire-Based Study in Ukraine","authors":"V. Poberezhets, A. Demchuk, Y. Mostovoy","doi":"10.5505/amj.2022.08455","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5505/amj.2022.08455","url":null,"abstract":"Objectives: Russian military aggression caused the biggest crisis in Ukraine since WWII. Telemedicine could become a solution for Ukrainian healthcare to cope with these challenges, considering previous experience and available resources. We aimed to assess features of telemedicine in Ukrainian during the war. Materials and Methods: We used a cross-sectional approach to receive feedback from 125 Ukrainian medical practitioners performing clinical practice in Ukraine during the war. E-questionnaire was distributed among doctors via social media announcements, specific doctors' associations in messengers and direct messages. Results: We found that 99.20% of doctors (n=124) continued using telemedicine during the war. 56.80% of the respondents (n=71) highlighted that the war resulted in the acceleration of telemedicine usage. The most popular telehealth services were instant messaging apps (97.60% of doctors, n=122) and phone calls (84.80% of doctors (n=106). Compared to less experienced colleagues, medical practitioners with more than 10 years of clinical practice more intensively used e- mail (46.15% vs 19.18%; χ 2 =10.444, p=0.001), SMS (34.62% vs 15.07%; χ2=6.512, p=0.011), remote pulse oximetry (19.23% vs 5.48%; χ2=5.774, p=0.016), blood glucose monitoring (11.54% vs 2.74%; χ2=3.925, p=0.048). The main restriction of using telemedicine was an inability to perform an effective objective examination. Conclusion: Our research showed that the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war had accelerated the use of telemedicine by Ukrainian medical practitioners. The most common telemedical services were messengers and direct phone calls. Experienced doctors more frequently used e-mail, SMS and devices for remote patient monitoring.","PeriodicalId":30639,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Medical Journal","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82539653","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}

Materials and Methods: The sex, age, and detected diseases of a total of 178 palliative care patients included in our study were analyzed retrospectively. For determining the causative agents of pressure ulcer infections in these patients, Gram staining was performed on the bacterial cultures that developed in the wound samples, and the Vitek-2 (bioMérieux, France) automatic test device was used to identify these cultures and determine their antibiotic susceptibility. Results: It was observed that the single-agent microorganism grew in 26 of the cultures. When the 26 active microorganisms we detected in the wound culture growths were examined; it was observed that Escherichia coli (n=9, 34.62%) and Proteus mirabilis (n=3, 11.54%) grew more frequently in enteric bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=3, 11.54%) in non-fermentative bacteria. In our study, the absence of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates was considered remarkable. In our study, 100% resistance was found to antibiotics such as Ampicillin, Cefepime, Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, Amoxicillin-clavulanate, and Gentamicin in gram (+) bacteria, while 100% resistance was found against antibiotics such as Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin, and Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole in gram (-) bacteria. Conclusion: In the treatment of infection pressure ulcers, starting antibiotic therapy at the appropriate time and choosing the right antibiotic is one of the most important factors that determine the success of treatment.","PeriodicalId":30639,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Medical Journal","volume":"20 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90778416","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}

{"title":"The Association between Sleep and Quality of Life in Patients Diagnosed with Subclinical Hypothyroidism","authors":"Samet Sayılan, Elif Ok, Emel Çetinkaya","doi":"10.5505/amj.2022.94830","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5505/amj.2022.94830","url":null,"abstract":"Objectives: Thyroid disorders are frequently associated with sleep problems, and quality of life is adversely affected at the same time. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of sleep problems on quality of life in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH). Materials and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed with patients presenting on an outpatient basis to two separate clinics in the internal diseases department of a training and research hospital between February and July 2021. The study population consisted of 103 patients. p values <0.05 were considered significant. Results: The mean age of the participants was 44.46±14.12 years, and the mean duration of disease was 7.01±4.90 years. The participants ' total Rolls Royce Quality of Life score mean was 104. 99±18.48, and the mean PSQI total score was 7.11±3.75. A moderate negative correlation was observed between the participants' mean Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index and mean cognitive function, social relationships and quality of life scores. According to the linear regression analysis performed to examine the effect of sleep quality on quality of life, 10% of the change in the quality of life is explained by sleep quality. Conclusion: In this study, the quality of life of the participants was below moderate, and it was determined that the impairment of sleep quality adversely affected the quality of life. Since sleep quality affects the quality of life in patients followed up with subclinical hypothyroidism, sleep assessment is recommended. In addition, it is recommended to take initiatives to increase sleep quality and to investigate different factors affecting the quality of life. Higher indicate a greater of cross-sectional have determined mild functional learning impairment and recall problems in young subjects with hypothyroidism. In addition, a community-based study reported an association between Alzheimer's disease and SH. Quijano et al. performed a survey study involving 15 individuals with SH and 15 with clinically mild hypothyroidism. The clinically mild hypothyroidism cases exhibited poorer cognitive status during recording compared to the SH group, while normal cognitive status was determined in both groups after treatment. The findings of this study show that the total sleep quality score mean of the participants was moderate, and the quality of life decreased in parallel with the deterioration in sleep quality. In terms of the quality of life subdimensions, physical symptoms-activity, medical interactions, social relationships, and cognitive functions, in particular, were affected by sleep quality. Since sleep quality affects the quality of life in patients followed up with subclinical hypothyroidism, sleep assessment is recommended. In addition, it is recommended to take initiatives to increase sleep quality and to investigate different factors affecting the quality of life.","PeriodicalId":30639,"journal":{"name":"Ankara Medical Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88181850","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}
