The synthesis of hepcidin is stimulated during inflammation and causes inflammation anemia. For this purpose, we aimed to determine the role of (pro)hepcidin in anemia in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and its correlation with clinical and biochemical findings. Materials and Methods: A total of 61 patients, 19 (31.1%) of whom were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease (CD), 42 (68.9%) with ulcerative colitis (UC), and a control group of 23 were included. Hepcidin and biochemical parameters which are related to anemia were measured. Results: There was a significant difference between the CD group and vs control group in terms of hepcidin level. As the disease activity increases, the hepcidin level decreases with a probability of 83%. Hepcidin levels were found to be significantly lower in the CD group. Although hepcidin levels were lower in the UC group than in the control group, the result was not statistically significant. Conclusion: We didn’t detect a statistically significant difference in the level of hepcidin between IBD and the control group.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81437387","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}

Materials and Methods: A total of 140 participants were recruited in our study. The COVID-19 group included 74 subjects, and the control group included 66 individuals. Between the two groups, PD was compared for electrocardiographic P-wave measurements, including abnormal P wave axis, P wave terminal force in V1 (PWTF), P wave max duration (P max), and PWPT. Results: It was determined that the P max and PD values of the patients infected with the COVID-19 virus were higher than the control group (p<0.001). PWPTD2 (p<0.001), PWPTV1 (p<0.001) and abnormal P wave axis ratio (p<0.05) were found to be significantly longer in COVID-19 patients. Serum CRP and WBC values were found to be significantly higher in COVID-19 patients (p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively). Also, a significant and positive correlation was detected between CRP and P max, PD, PWPTD2 and PWPTV1. There was the same correlation relationship between WBC with P max, PD, PWPTD2 and PWPTV1. Conclusion: Significant prolongation of PWPT and PD in COVID-19 patients may be predictive in determining the risk of developing atrial fibrillation.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74853776","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}

Daily life was severely disrupted and widespread effects remain ongoing. War and other circumstances can also lead to sudden disrup-tion and increased demand on medical professionals while creating significant additional challenges. Medical students are an important part of the healthcare delivery structure, and this should be recognized by both the students and the healthcare system, including medical schools. Training should include a broad range of exposure, from contact with patients and families to laboratory work and research techniques, and more in order to provide a comprehensive view and adequate preparation. Medical education has evolved greatly over time and will continue to develop according to needs and conditions. There are numerous influences, both internal and external. The medical community faces many challenges, but provides a vital service. Several portents indicate the need to adapt in order to adequately prepare for the future.","PeriodicalId":43995,"journal":{"name":"Erciyes Medical Journal","volume":"CE-31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84572821","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}
