Method: 40 patients who applied to Mustafa Kemal University Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinic between May 2021 and May 2022 were included in the study. Fibronectin results were evaluated using the liquid ELISA method taken from the vaginal secretion by a swap. Cervical lengths were evaluated as 25 mm and below, between 25-30 mm and 30 mm and above in statistical data. Results: For fFN-positive patients, the preterm delivery rate of patients with a cervical length of 25 mm and less was determined as 100%, while the rate of preterm birth was determined as 77.8% for patients with a cervical length between 25 mm and 30 mm. In addition, the preterm labor rate of fFN-positive patients with a cervical length of 30 mm and above was determined as 78.57%. Conclusion: All patients with a cervical length of 25 mm or less have a positive fFN test, and a strong correlation can be established between these two values. Accordingly, fFN positivity was found to have a higher sensitivity in determining the probability of preterm delivery compared to the cervical length ratio.","PeriodicalId":402691,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Medical Journal","volume":"87 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139166954","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}

Methods: In the study, 227 patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment were included. Five groups were designed: WhatsApp group, short message service (SMS) group, Teledentistry group, e-mail group and control group. During quarantine period, patients were contacted for 4 times and same text was sent to patients. After pandemics, the patients were assessed using mucogingival index (MGI), orthodontic plaque index (OPI) and failure of brackets was determined. Results: In MGI, percentage of patients with healthy result were as follows: WhatsApp group, 83.7%; SMS group, 87.8%; Teledentistry group, 83.7%; E-mail group, 77.5%; control group, 72.2% and no significant difference was found (p>0.05). The OPI scores were as follows: 1.12±1.24 in WhatsApp group; 1.27±1.28 in SMS group; 1.24±1.38 in Teledentistry group; 1.00±1.22 in E-mail group; and 1.61±1.25 in the control group and no significant difference was found (p>0.05). The mean number of brackets broken was 0.47±0.88 in WhatsApp group, 0.39±0.83 in SMS group, 0.51±1.00 in Teledentistry group, 0.40±0.67 in E-mail group and 0.44±0.86 in the control group and no significant difference was found (p>0.05).

Method: Fifty-one patients who applied to Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital, Department of Pediatrics and Diseases with acute tonsillopharyngitis were included. Samples were taken from patients and mouth/throat pictures were taken so that the tonsils and pharynx were clearly visible. In the microbiology laboratory, identification with culture/MALDI-TOF MS (Biomerieux, France) from the first samples, and nucleic acid isolation from the other for molecular tests were performed. Symptoms such as fatigue, sore throat, muscle pain, cough, sneezing, and runny nose were questioned from each patient on a scale of 1 to 5. By uploading the symptom results and throat pictures to the artificial intelligence application, it was aimed to distinguish bacterial/viral tonsillopharyngitis with the developed scoring system. Results: Of the 51 samples included in the study, 21 were culture positive and 30 were negative. The artificial intelligence application was defined as 20 out of 21 culture-positive samples, 3 out of 30 culture-negative samples as bacterial tonsillopharyngitis (Sensitivity: 95.2%, specificity: 90%). Conclusion: This study is one of the first to bring together the artificial intelligence application and microbiology. AI/scoring system may have a role to play in the diagnosis of bacterial vs viral TP, and in doing so may enable more appropriate antibiotic usage targeted to only bacterial TP infections. It is important to distinguish between bacterial and viral tonsillopharyngitis in the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":402691,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Medical Journal","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139186984","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 aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of maternal and neonatal outcomes in non-gestational diabetes pregnancies with abnormal glucose challenge test (GCT) and abnormal glucose tolerance test (GTT) results. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study of 2982 singleton pregnancies, all patients underwent a non-fasting 50 g GCT at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation. A GCT cutoff of ≥ 140 mg/dl was selected. Women with an elevated GCT underwent prompt diagnostic testing with a 3-hour GTT. Subjects were divided into four groups according to GCT and GTT results. Results: There was an impaired glucose tolerance in 19.2 % of patients and 14.7 % of them had mild glucose intolerance and 4.5 % of them had moderate glucose intolerance. As expected, there was statistically significant difference in fetal macrosomia, neonatal hypoglicemia, PE, primary CS, and preterm birth between secreening negative and GDM patients (p < 0.0001). We also observed statistically significant difference in neonatal hypoglicemia (p = 0.0001) and PE (p = 0.0277) between screning negative and mild glucose intolerance group. Moreover, there was a significant difference in fetal macrosomia (p=0.0480) between mild glucose intolerance and moderate glucose intolerance groups. Conclusion: Compared with screening negative group, mild and moderate glucose intolerance are associated with increased adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes even in the absence of GDM.","PeriodicalId":402691,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Medical Journal","volume":"468 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139240448","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}

Maternal obesity is also related to adverse pregnancy outcomes affected by placental malfunction. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to compare levels of oxidative stress between obese and normal weight women in the second trimester. Method: We assessed lipid peroxidation by measuring the thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) as well as antioxidant defense system by measuring the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) enzymes in 50 obese women (body mass index, BMI:36.60±4.95) and 51 normal weight women (BMI:24.51±3.47). Results: An increased lipid peroxidation and SOD enzyme activity were determined in obese pregnant women compared to normal weight women. Also, we found a significantly positive correlation (r:0.286, p:0.0435) between BMI and TBARS level as well as a significantly negative correlation (r: -0.421, p: 0.002) between TBARS level and SOD enzyme activity. No significance difference was observed between two groups in CAT and GPx enzymes activities. Conclusion: According to our results, although increased SOD enzyme activity has reflected that antioxidant defense system is activated cope with the increased production of reactive oxygen species, maternal obesity is induced oxidative stress via increased lipid peroxidation. Hence, maternal obesity induced-oxidative stress in the second trimester should be followed up by clinicians since it may cause oxidative damage in the placenta during pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":402691,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Medical Journal","volume":"11 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136312566","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}
