Results: Basic Depression Scale found to have sufficient distribution based on the explanatory factor analysis of the Kaiser Meyer Olkin test. Croncbachs alpha (α) found 0.7. Basic Depression Scale is a reliable measurement tool for Turkey. It concluded that Basic Depression Scale was a valid and reliable scale for young people who receive a university education in Turkey. Conclusion: The scale is a four-point Likerttype. Max 84, min 21 points can be given. It can be said that the higher the total score, the higher the level of depression based on total scores. There are anhedonia, low self-esteem, and sadness sub-scales. In the end, we suggest that scale should be tested on different groups with different variables under prospect researches in the field.","PeriodicalId":309460,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Western Black Sea","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123419292","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}

Med Black Sea. 2021;5(3):435-443. ABSTRACT Aim: This study was carried out to determine the views of postnatal mothers regarding human milk banking. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on between 25 June 2019 and 1 January 2020 at Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University Health Practice and Research Center. A questionnaire was applied to 244 mothers who were hospitalized in the obstetrics service.The data were collected using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. In this form, questions regarding human milk banking prepared in accordance with the literature and the socio-demographic characteristics of the mothers were included. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS 23.0 statistics program. Results: The mean age of postnatal mothers was 29.9. Of the mothers, 41% were primary school / secondary school graduates, 79.5% were living in nuclear families and 74.6% were unemployed. The majority of mothers (73.4%) wanted human milk banks in Turkey to be active, 72.5% considered donating their milk if there were a milk bank, 57.4% would like to benefit from the milk bank. A statistical difference was found between the socio-demographic status of the mothers (age, education, employment status, family type and number of children alive) and the condition whether or not the milk bank caused problems in terms of religion (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that the majority of mothers would like to donate to the milk bank and get milk there. However, it was also stated that the presence of milk bank would lead to some problems (milk sibling marriage, feeling of inadequacy in mothers, risk of disease transmission and religious reasons, etc.). Despite the benefits of human milk banking, ethical dilemmas, traditional beliefs and attitudes, myths, concerns about the safety of milk and lack of information should be discussed.","PeriodicalId":309460,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Western Black Sea","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122176176","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}

In this way, problems, if any, will be revealed and the groundwork will be prepared for their elimination. Material and Methods: Our descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between February 15 and March 15, 2021 with preclinical medical students and the other university students. A two-stage electronic questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic questions and HPV Knowledge Scale was applied to 303 participants (n=303), who were determined by the convenience sampling method. Results: It was determined that 68.3% of the participants were female (n=207), 31.7% were male (n=96), their mean age was 20.94 ± 1.69 and the average of HPV Knowledge Scale scores was 9.08±8.32. It was observed that 39.6% of the participants (n=20) were pre-clinical medical faculty students, and 60.4% (n=183) were students from other faculties. When HPV Knowledge Scale scores were compared; It was observed that the scores of the pre-clinical medical faculty students among the students studying at faculties outside medicine and health sciences were significantly higher (p<0.001). It was determined that there was no difference between the scale scores in terms of sociodemographic characteristics such as gender and monthly income of the participants (p>0.05).

Material and Methods: The results of the EMGs performed by the same physician in the Aydın State Hospital Neurophysiology Laboratory during the 18-month period between 01.03.2014-30.09.2015 were reviewed retrospectively. The agreement between the prediagnosis of the referring clinic and the EMG result information was analyzed. Results: 1620 (64.1%) of the patients with a mean age of 48.5±15 (5-90) years were female. Neurology 1574 (62.3%), physical therapy and rehabilitation (PTR) 534 (21.1%), orthopedics 184 (7.3%), neurosurgery 155 (6.1%) and other branches 81 (3.2%) requested EMG from the neurophysiology laboratory. The prediagnoses of the patients who underwent EMG were; 1027 (40.6%) carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), 130 (5.1%) cubital tunnel syndrome (CUTS), 452 (17.8%) polyneuropathy (PNP), 467 (18.4%) upper extremity radiculopathy (RDP), 198 (7.8%) lower extremity RDP. When the prediagnosis-EMG diagnosis agreement is examined: in CTS 55.6% rate, moderate agreement; in CUTS 65.4% rate, strong agreement; in PNP 38.5% rate, moderate agreement; in upper extremity RDP 87.1% rate, strong agreement; in lower extremity RDP 81.3% rate, strong agreement were found. 25% of all EMG results were normal. Normal results were found in 27.5% in neurology, 21.7% in PTR, 20.1% in orthopedics, and 11.6% in neurosurgery. In addition, normal results were determined in 27.7% in CTS, 16.2% in CUTS, 48% in PNP, 6% in upper extremity RDP, and 10.6% in lower extremity RDP. PNP was the most common prediagnosis (48%) with a normal result, and it was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: According to our study; The percentage of normally completed EMG was found to be high, and both clinical findings and department-based prediagnosis-EMG diagnosis agreement were low.

Results: No significant difference was noted in the tOCN and uOCN levels concerning gender and menopausal status. tOCN was negatively correlated with BMI, waist circumference, BFP, and fat mass in patients with normal glucose tolerance (p<0.05) and premenopausal women (p<0.05). Besides, tOCN was negatively correlated with BFP and fat mass in patients with prediabetes (p<0.05) and positively correlated with fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR in the prediabetes group (p<0.05).
