Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study design was performed. Female children with PP and healthy controls were compared for self-esteem and anxiety using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children with two sections including the State Anxiety Inventory for Children (SAIC) and the Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (TAIC). Results: The study included 172 children, 86 females with PP [median age (minimum-maximum) 9.41 (8-12.42) years] and 86 healthy controls [median age (minimum-maximum) 9.41 (8.08-12.08) years]. The SAIC scores of female children with PP were significantly higher than that of children without PP [27 (20-51) vs. 24 (20-43), respectively, p=0.002]. There were no differences in TAIC scores [33 (22-53) vs. 32 (20-50), p=0.062] and CSEI scores [80 (28-100) vs. 82 (48-100), p=0.196] between children with and without PP. A negative correlation was observed between the CSEI and SAIC scores in both children with PP (r=-0.354, p<0.001) and without PP (r=-0.339, p<0.001). A negative correlation was observed between the CSEI scores and the TAIC scores in both children with PP (r=-0.684, p<0.001) and without PP (r=-0.504, p=<0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that female children with PP had higher state anxiety than non-PP peers. In both groups, self-esteem scores increased while anxiety scores decreased.","PeriodicalId":35658,"journal":{"name":"Gulhane Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42708814","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 investigated the relationship of food addiction (FA) with carbohydrate intake and stress in adolescents. Methods: A single-center cross-sectional study was performed using a questionnaire that included basic characteristics, anthropometric measurements (weight, height, body mass index), Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS 21), and the food frequency questionnaire for the consumption of high carbohydrates and sugar-containing foods. Results: The study included 192 adolescents (146 female and 46 male) aged between 12 and 19 years. FA was detected in 8.9% of the participants. Female adolescents had a higher prevalence of FA than male adolescents (female: 10.3%; male: 4.3%, p=0.217). FA was not observed in any underweight individuals, while its prevalence was 14.3% in obese individuals. The YFAS score was 2.7±1.8, and the presence of FA was significantly related to YFAS (p<0.001). Foods that individuals with FA had the most problems with were chocolate/wafer, chips (52.9%), white bread (41.2%), deep-fried dough desserts, hamburgers/pita/lahmacun/doner, and frizzy drinks/coke (35.3%) (p<0.05). Of the food-addicted participants, 88.2% had moderate, severe, or extremely severe levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. YFAS score correlated with stress (r=0.472, p<0.001), depression (r=0.458, p<0.001), and anxiety (r=0.528, p<0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that high sugar content related to carbohydrates in foods might have addictive effects on adolescents.

Methods: This descriptive study included pregnant women aged 18 to 48 years and their spouses admitted to a follow-up clinic. Women with risky pregnancies were excluded. Attachment was assessed using the maternal antenatal attachment scale (MAAS) and the paternal antenatal attachment scale (PAAS). The primary outcomes were the maternal and paternal attachment levels and the factors affecting attachment during the prenatal period. Results: The study population consisted of 100 pregnant women and their spouses, totaling 200 individuals [age, mean±standard deviation: 27.8±5.1 years, prospective mothers; 31.5±5.9 years, prospective fathers]. The mean MAAS score was 77.87±8.08, and the mean PAAS score was 63.7±8.2. There was a statistically significant correlation between the total MAAS and PAAS scores (r=0.279, p=0.005). Also, mean scores of the subdimensions of quality of attachment (r=0.203, p=0.042) and time spent on attachment (r=0.236, p=0.018) of the MAAS and PAAS showed correlations.

Recently, adult proximal humeral locking plates have been advocated for the fixation of these fractures; however, insufficient data is available for their efficacy. This retrospective study evaluated the radiological and clinical outcomes of pediatric intertrochanteric fractures treated with adult humerus proximal plates. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included children aged between 11 and 16 years who underwent surgery for intertrochanteric hip fractures using adult proximal humeral locking plates between January 2012 and January 2019. The exclusion criteria were nondisplaced fractures, concomitant musculoskeletal and other system injuries, pathological fractures, and a history of previous surgery on the same hip or femur. The duration of fracture union was evaluated in the follow-up radiographs. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Harris hip score (HHS) and Ratliff criteria. All complications during the follow-up were recorded. Results: The study included 24 children (15 males, nine females) with a mean age of 12.6±1.4 years (11 to 15 years). The mean follow-up time was 34±9.4 months (22 to 60 months). The mean fracture union time was 12.8±2.2 weeks (10 to 16 weeks). The HHS was 92±1.9 (89 to 95) at the final follow-up. All patients were rated good according to the Ratliff criteria. None of the patients had avascular necrosis of the femoral head, nonunion, malunion, limb-length discrepancy, or implant failure at the final follow-up. No patient required revision surgery. Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that the fixation of pediatric intertrochanteric fractures with adult humerus proximal plates is a successful fixation option that provides good clinical outcomes based on the HHS and Ratliff criteria, and excellent radiological outcome with a high rate of fracture union, with low complication rates.

The MetS comprises a conglomerate of numerous physical conditions that occur concurrently, as well as intensifying the likelihood of heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Periodontitis is a microbial oral condition that causes the loss of tooth attachment and can proceed to edentulism if left untreated. Epidemiologic, experimental, and interventional studies have documented that periodontitis could have a consequence on systemic health and share a common pathway with several chronic noncommunicable diseases, namely DM, cardiovascular disease, and MetS. Current data suggest that periodontitis may promote the onset or acceleration of MetS. The overall oxidative load and overactive inflammatory repercussions could be responsible for this interaction. As a result, it is crucial to comprehend the current condition of the association as well as the prospective contribution of periodontitis to MetS. The findings of published studies that provide consistent data on the varied outcomes of periodontitis on MetS are encapsulated in this review.
