Understanding local peritonitis rates and microbiologic profiles are important for the prevention and appropriate management of PD-related peritonitis. We investigated the incidence rate, causative agents, and outcomes of PD-related peritonitis episodes. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled all patients who were receiving PD and have been treated for PD-related peritonitis between February 2005 and November 2021 in our PD unit. Data of the patients included demographic characteristics, causes of primary renal disease, microbiology, and outcomes (resolution, catheter loss, and death) of peritonitis episodes. Results: During the study period, 143 PD-related peritonitis episodes were identified in 69 patients. The peritonitis rate was 0.56 episodes per patient-year. Overall, 62.9% of the episodes were due to Gram-positive organisms, 32.1% were due to Gram-negative organisms, 3.4% were culture negative and 1.3% were candida. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were isolated in half of the Gram-positive episodes. Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas were the most frequently observed microorganisms among Gram-negative episodes. Overall, 81.1% of cases improved completely with medical treatment. The PD catheter was removed in 27 (18.8%) patients, and two patients died from sepsis. Gram-negative organisms resulted in a significantly higher rate of catheter removals and a lower rate of resolution than Gram-positive organisms (p<0.001). Conclusion: Reducing the incidence of PD-related peritonitis could be possible by knowledge of prevalent microbial agents in each center, adjusting empirical treatment accordingly, and taking the necessary measures to prevent peritonitis attacks.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45272061","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}

Studies have found serious stressors experienced by the hemodialysis incharge-nurses but report less burnout than the other nurses. Determining the mental distress of the hemodialysis incharge-nurses during the pandemic is important in determining the necessary precautions. The objective of this study is to determine the psychological complaints of the hemodialysis incharge-nurses during the pandemic. Methods: The participants of the study are hemodialysis incharge-nurses who work in different provinces of Turkey. The data of the study were collected from April to June 2020. Beck Anxiety Inventory was used to measure the frequency of anxiety symptoms experienced by the individuals. Beck Depression Inventory was used to measure the behavioral manifestations of depression. Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to measure burnout in the workplace. The Perceived Trauma Coping Scale was used to evaluate the perception of coping-up with a traumatic life. Results: In our study, we found Beck Anxiety Inventory mean score was 13.42 +/- 11.28, Beck Depression Inventory mean score was 11.88 +/- 9.57, Maslach emotional exhaustion mean score was 15.74 +/- 8.19, Maslach depersonalization mean score was 4.96 +/- 3.70, and Maslach personal failure mean score was 8.95 +/- 4.50, respectively. Finally, the mean Perceived Trauma Coping Scale trauma score was 63.05 +/- 12.78, the mean Perceived Trauma Coping Scale future score was 36.34 +/- 8.65, and the mean Perceived Trauma Coping Scale elasticity score was 71.94 +/- 17.67, respectively. Conclusion: The findings of the study show the importance of the improvements to be made in reducing the depression and burnout levels of the nurses.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46099405","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: Our cross-sectional study included 40-patients followed-up with a UC diagnosis and 40 healthy controls. All the patients underwent 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG). In addition to the routine ECG measurements, Tpe/QT and Tpe/QTc ratios and Tpe interval were measured. Resting heart rate and serum high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were higher with UC patients (p<0.05). Tpe interval and Tpe/QTc ratio values were higher in patients with UC (p<0.05). QT and QTc measurements were similar in the UC patients and healthy controls. Ratio of Tpe to QT and QTc, and Tpe distance measurements positively correlated with the heart rate, UC disease duration, and hs-CRP (p<0.05 for each-one). Tpe/QT, Tpe/QTc ratios, and Tpe interval were found to be independently associated with the heart rate and UC disease duration in a linear regression analyze. Conclusion: In patients with UC; Tpe/QT, Tpe/QTc ratios, and Tpe interval are increased and are independently associated with a disease duration in these patients. This may be associated with the increased inflammation in the UC patients and its cardiac effects. lead electrocardiographic (ECG) changes with a serious ventricular ECG are interval and T wave-peak and (Tpe","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44548815","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}
