{"title":"Is There a Relationship Between Food Addiction, Dietary Quality and Metabolic Parameters in Obese Adults?: A Cross-Sectional Study Example","authors":"E. Duman","doi":"10.14744/etd.2023.80922","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.14744/etd.2023.80922","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: This cross-sectional study evaluated the association between food addiction, dietary quality, and metabolic parameters and determined food addiction prevalence in overweight and obese adults. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with 134 obese and overweight adults. Food addiction was evaluated with the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), and dietary quality was assessed with the Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010). The HEI-2010 scores range from 0 to 100 (>80: good dietary quality, 51–80: needs improvement, <51: poor dietary quality). Results: 19.4% of the participants had a food addiction. The ratio of those with poor dietary quality (61.5%) in participants with food addiction was higher than those without food addiction (52.8%) (p>0.05). The ratio of participants with high AST levels to participants with food addiction (34.6%) is higher than those without food addiction (17.6%) (p<0.05). Participants without food addiction have lower cholesterol intake than participants with food addiction (p<0.05). YFAS symptom scores were positively correlated with AST, SBP, and DBP levels and negatively correlated with the age of the participants (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was founded that a relationship may exist between food addiction, dietary quality, and metabolic parameters of obese and overweight adults. Especially in treating obesity, it is essential to make appropriate interventions to increase dietary quality.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79610848","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 aimed to assess the usability of the predictive tests and anthropometric measurements in identifying potential difficult intubation in children. Materials and Methods: This prospective study involved 200 pediatric patients aged 7 to 15 years who were scheduled to receive general anesthesia and were classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II with no pre-existing airway issues. Patients were categorized based on age into three groups: Group 1 (7–9 years, n=69), Group 2 (10–12 years, n=65), and Group 3 (13–15 years, n=66). Modified Mallampati Classification (MMC), mandibular protrusion (MP), tooth anomalies (missing tooth, decayed tooth, protruding upper incisor, and long upper incisor), thyromental distance (TMD), sternomental distance (SMD), and atlanto-occipital joint mobility (AOJM1 and AOJM2) were determined for each patient. These prediction tests were then compared with the Cormack–Lehane (CL) classification. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of TMD, SMD, and missing tooth. The MMC exhibited the highest sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) (100% and 47%, respectively), while the MP had the highest specificity (94.5%). It was predicted that reference values of ≤ 6 cm for TMD and ≤ 12 cm for SMD would yield very low sensitivity and PPV for Group 1. Conclusion: Reference values of ≤ 5 cm for TMD and ≤ 10 cm for SMD were found to provide useful predictive information for children aged 7–9 years.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80022249","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 aims to look at the demographics, pain assessment, and management of patients who visited the emergency department with hand injuries. Materials and Methods: Healthy patients over 18 who presented to the emergency room within the first 24 hours of an acute hand injury between December 2020 and February 2021 were included. The Numerical Pain Rating Scale was em-ployed to assess pain severity. The etiology of the trauma, pain scale, analgesic treatment, imaging requests, consultation, and tetanus vaccine situation were all documented. Results: The patient’s pain severity was classified at admission. It was found that 38.8% had mild pain, 39.2% moderate, and 21.9% had severe pain. The average pain scores of the patients were determined as 4.89±2.14. Analgesic was executed in 13.5% of the patients who applied, and 86.5% did not receive painkillers. Analgesia was applied to 2% of the patients with mild pain, 14.7% with moderate pain, and 31.6% with severe pain. We found that as pain severity increased, analgesia was more, and it was found to be statistically significant (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Analgesia is a neglected step in trauma care. Emergency physicians should prioritize pain relief. All patients with hand trauma should be pain-scored and given appropriate analgesia.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85911638","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}

Case Report: A 63-year-old man presented with a headache, and a brain computed tomography (CT) scan showed a hematoma in the right occipital lobe. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed almost complete rim enhancement, and CT perfusion showed increased cerebral blood volume values. A new bleeding focus and a thrombus extending from the superior sagittal sinus to the cortical vein were seen on CT and MRI scans performed due to the headache that developed the day before surgery. After surgical evacuation of the hematoma, a giant cell glioblastoma diagnosis was made as a result of pathological examination of the lesion. Conclusion: In challenging cases like this, perfusion techniques are useful. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis should also be kept in mind during the perioperative and postoperative periods to avoid complications.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85540053","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}
