 Aim: To investigate the frequency of Os trigonum and Stieda process and the relationship of Os trigonum with other pathologies detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with posterior ankle pain.
 Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted by re-examining MRI images obtained between January 2017 and May 2023. The study included 482 patients (496 ankles) who underwent ankle MRI for diagnostic purposes due to posterior or posterolateral ankle pain. MRI images were re-examined for the following parameters: fractures, contusion, tendinosis, ligament injury, arthritis, effusion, presence of Stieda process, posterior ankle bursa impingement, Os trigonum, retrocalcaneal bursitis, ganglion cyst, widespread osteophytes, accessory navicular bone, presence and grade of osteochondritis dissecans, and presence and type of Achilles tendon pathology. 
 Results: The mean age of the participants was 41.96 ± 15.89 (7–83 years), and 51.04% (n = 246) were male. Os trigonum was detected in 17 patients (3.43 %), and none of the cases were bilateral. The likelihood of Os trigonum was significantly higher in males (p = 0.016, OR: 4.725, 95% CI: 1.341 - 16.655). Stieda process was detected in 186 patients (37.5 %). The accessory navicular bone was detected in 8 (1.61%). The percentage of patients with pathological metatarsal fractures was significantly higher in patients with Os trigonum (p = 0.034). The frequency of Stieda process was significantly lower in patients with Os trigonum (p = 0.013, OR: 0.099, 95% CI: 0.013 - 0.755). There were significantly fewer cases of talotibial effusion in the Os trigonum group (p = 0.030).
 Conclusion: While Os trigonum appears to be significantly more frequent among males, it is less frequent in the presence of the Stieda process and talotibial effusion.","PeriodicalId":481626,"journal":{"name":"İzmir Democracy University health sciences journal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136023880","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 participants were randomly assigned to either the simulated clinical immersion group (n=19) or the in situ simulation group (n=24). The study data were collected using Extravasation Management Knowledge Test, Objective Structured Clinical Assessment, Students’ Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale and the State Anxiety Inventory. The pre-posttest mean scores for the knowledge level and anxiety mean scores of the participants in the simulated clinical immersion group and the in situ group were not statistically significant (p˃.05). The satisfaction and self-confidence scale mean scores and the skill levels of the students in both settings were similar after the implementation (p˃.05). The students' knowledge, skills, anxiety, self-confidence and satisfaction were similar in both simulation-based learning environments. In situ simulation can be recommended for use in nursing education.

Of the cancer patients in PCU, 85.7% had anemia and 88.4% had metastases. In patients with severe anemia, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Scale (ECOG) performance scores were lower and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were significantly higher compared to the other patients in other groups (p=0.045, p=0.000). Glasgow Coma Scales (GCS) were found to be significantly lower in patients with moderate anemia than those without anemia.

Total 135 honey samples were used with 15 extracted flower honey samples from each of Adana center, Kadirli, Kozan, Osmaniye, Ceyhan, Karataş, Yumurtalık, Tarsus and Mersin centre. The honey samples represented 1550 beehives from Adana centre, 980 from Kadirli, 1050 from Kozan, 650 from Osmaniye, 750 from Ceyhan, 860 from Karataş, 740 from Yumurtalık, 800 from Mersin center, and 950 from Tarsus. Total beehives that the honey samples were taken were 8330. Honey samples were analyzed according to Hammerling method using gas chromatograhy with capillary column. In the result of analyses, although fluvalinate residues were not found in the honey samples, amitraz residues were found ranging from 1.34 to 33.48 ppm in 25 honey samples. The honeys from Çukurova district were contaminated with amitraz residues at which levels they would pose a risk to public health. It has been concluded that in the stage of production and consuming of honeys, precautions are required to be taken against pesticide residues up to the levels not to pose a risk for consumers.","PeriodicalId":481626,"journal":{"name":"İzmir Democracy University health sciences journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135996812","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}
