The aim of our study is to investigate “Youtube ® ” videos about percutaneous tracheostomy in the intensive care unit in terms of the information value and quality they provide. Material and Method: Video search was performed on the “YouTube.com” in November 2021 with the “percutaneous tracheostomy” search key. The first 100 videos about percutaneous tracheostomy in the intensive care unit were listed and the number of views, likes, dislikes, comments, uploaded source, source country and continent were determined, and content analyzes were made. The quality, reliability and accuracy of the videos were determined by the \"Global Quality Score\"(GQS), \"Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) Quality Test\" and \"Modified DISCERN\" questionnaire, respectively. Results: According to GQS, 45 low, 31 medium and 24 high quality videos were detected. 72 of the videos contained insufficient, 25 partially sufficient and 3 completely sufficient data. Academic and doctor-sourced videos comprised the majority (70,83%) of the high-quality group. There was no significant relationship between video sources, GQS, JAMA score, Modified DISCERN score and the number of views, likes, dislikes and comments(p>0,05). A weak positive correlation was found between video duration and GQS(r=0,206), JAMA(r=0.263), modified DISCERN(r=0,388) scores(p<0,05). Conclusion: According to our results, it was determined that most of the youtube videos about percutaneous tracheostomy in the intensive care unit were of poor quality and had insufficient data. It has been determined that high-quality videos are of longer duration and are uploaded by academic and doctor sources.","PeriodicalId":42791,"journal":{"name":"Gazi Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44941992","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 objective of this study is to investigate the accuracy of surgeon performed US guided FNAC of thyroid nodules in the outpatient setting. Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study on patients who underwent US guided FNAC followed by thyroidectomy between July 2019 and September 2022. US TI-RADS grade, FNAC Bethesda category and final histology were obtained from medical records and analysed. Result: There were 122 biopsy samples from 103 patients with a female gender preponderance of 89.3% and mean age of 46.5 years old. The majority of nodules biopsied were TI-RADS 4 and 5 (44.3% and 37.7%). Of the FNAC samples, 13.1% were non diagnostic, 27.9% benign, 14.7% atypia, 14.7% follicular neoplasm, 16.4% suspicious of malignancy and 13.1% were malignant. On final histology, adenomatoid nodules with nodular hyperplasia made up 82.5% of benign nodules and 94.9% of malignancies were papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were 88.9%, 82.4%, 84.2%, 87.5% and 85.7% with higher accuracy rate (90.1%) when used in TI-RADS 5 nodules. Conclusion: Surgeon performed US guided FNAC for thyroid nodules is feasible and can be done in the outpatient setting thereby reducing time taken to reach a diagnosis. Standardizing techniques and use of additional modalities such as elastography may improve yield and diagnostic rates.","PeriodicalId":42791,"journal":{"name":"Gazi Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46121907","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}

Specifically, type 2 diabetes occurs when the body’s cells are unable to efficiently respond to insulin, the hormone responsible for transporting circulatory glucose into cells. In the advanced stages of the disease, the body may also not produce sufficient amounts of insulin. As the disease progresses, the symptoms become more severe and potentially lead to a series of comorbidities. Although several medications are used to treat and control type 2 diabetes, these medications may have serious side effects. Hence, the use of herbal medicine to alleviate type 2 diabetes has been studied and has attracted widespread interest. Our major goal is to examine these herbs' effectiveness and related mechanisms of action in treating type 2 diabetes. Method : We studied worldwide traditional medicines, old texts, and published literature for anti-diabetic effect of Melissa officinalis and saffron. Electronic databases comprising PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar were searched to collect articles published between 1990 and 2022 years. Results : We confirmed that a variety of herbal therapies, including saffron and lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), had anti-diabetic activities based on the findings of various research. Conclusion: Saffron and Melissa officinalis have anti-diabetic properties.","PeriodicalId":42791,"journal":{"name":"Gazi Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47195144","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}

Gas6/Axl signaling pathway is highly regulated in several pathological conditions. The role of Gas6/Axl signaling in hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism has not been explored previously. In this study, we aim to investigate possible changes in plasma Gas6 and Axl levels in patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Methods: In the study, 33 patients who were diagnosed with hypothyroidism, 35 patients who were diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and 36 healthy volunteers were included as the control group. Gas6, Axl, IL-6, TNF-α, and AOPP levels in plasma were measured with ELISA kits, MDA and TAC levels were measured with colorimetric kits. Results: The plasma Axl level of the hyperthyroid patient group was significantly higher than control group (p<0.05). MDA levels were significantly higher in both hyperthyroid and hypothyroid patient groups compared to the controls (p<0.01, p<0.01, respectively). Plasma TAC level were found to be significantly lower, while AOPP were higher than controls in hyperthyroid group (p<0.05, p<0.05 respectively). In all groups, Gas6 and Axl have positive correlations, both among themselves and with IL-6 and TNF-α levels. Conclusion: Our results support the hypothesis that the Gas6/Axl signaling pathway may be involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. In addition, it can be thought that lipid peroxidation increases and antioxidant defense is impaired in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.","PeriodicalId":42791,"journal":{"name":"Gazi Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44473867","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}

Juvenile Behçet’s disease (jBD) is a multi-systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of oral and genital aphthae, and cutaneous, gastrointestinal, neurological, articular, ocular and vascular manifestations. The main aim of this study was to assess the value of routine laboratory parameters for predicting disease activity in children with jBD. Methods. The demographic features and laboratory findings, including white blood cell, neutrophil (NEU), lymphocyte (LYM) and platelet (PLT) counts, neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/ lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume/platelet ratio (MPR) values were retrospectively evaluated between jBD patients with active and inactive, and compared with those in healthy peers. Inactive jBD was accepted as the absence of any clinical symptoms, while active jBD was accepted as presence of at least two clinical symptoms related with jBD. Results. Thirty six patients with jBD, and 58 sex-and age-matched healthy children were enrolled into this study. Median age at diagnosis of jBD was 13 (min – max: 5-17) years. 12 patients had active and remaining 24 inactive disease at enrollment. Active jBD group had significantly higher mean values for NLR, PLR, and lower MPV compared to inactive patients (p= 0.026, p= 0.039, and p= 0.07, respectively). PLR was revealed as an independent factor for predicting disease activity in jBD patients (p= 0.035, OR [95% Cl] = 0.988 [0.978-0.999]). Conclusion. This study has shown that active jBD patients had increased values of NLR and PLR. Among them PLR was the possible risk predictor for disease activity. These parameters are easily accessible inflammatory markers that may help detecting active disease in the early phase to prevent complications and to guide the therapy.","PeriodicalId":42791,"journal":{"name":"Gazi Medical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45112304","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}
