Bu çalışmanın birincil amacı, TDA'da TXA'nın PA enjeksiyonunun uygulanmasından sonra postoperatif kan kaybı ve transfüzyon oranlarını değerlendirmekti. Ek olarak, PA TXA, TDA sonrası hemartrozun azalması nedeniyle ağrıyı azaltabilir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmaya TXA PA enjeksiyonu olan veya olmayan primer tek taraflı TDA uygulanan 113 hasta dahil edildi. Protezin simante edilmesinden sonra, ancak kapsül kapanmadan ve turnike indirilmeden 15 dakika önce, medial, lateral kapsüller ve kuadriseps tendonu çevresindeki kas yumuşak doku çevresindeki eklem dışı yumuşak dokuya toplam 1500 mg/50 ml TXA enjekte edildi. Kontrol grubundaki toplam 56 hasta TXA almadı. Tüm hastalarda cerrahi prosedür standardize edildi.Bulgular: Kontrol grubuna kıyasla TXA grubunda gizli kan kaybında, tahmini kan kaybında ve postoperatif allojenik kan transfüzyonu almada istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir azalma vardı (p=0,0001). Kan transfüzyonu ile hastanede kalış süresi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulduk (p=0,0001). Postoperatif 1. gün ve postoperatif 3. günden sonra ağrı VAS skoru açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p=0,597 ve p=0,183, sırasıyla). 1500 mg/50 ml (30 mg/ml) TXA, 50 mg/ml. ile karşılaştırıldığında diz çevresindeki yumuşak doku üzerindeki sitotoksik etkileri en aza indirmek için nispeten optimal bir dozdu. Hiçbir hastada herhangi bir tromboembolik ve yara komplikasyonu görülmedi.Sonuç: TXA'nın PA uygulaması, tromboembolik komplikasyon ve kıkırdak ve periartiküler yumuşak doku üzerinde sitotoksik etki riskini artırmadan, postoperatif kan kaybı ve transfüzyon oranlarında ve hastanede kalış süresinde önemli bir azalma sağlayabilir. Ancak postoperatif ağrı VAS skorunda anlamlı bir azalma gözlemlemedik.","PeriodicalId":53622,"journal":{"name":"Duzce Medical Journal","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80350356","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}

We examined the sensitivity, the specificity, the positive predictive value (PPV), the negative predictive value (NPV) of FNAB.\u0000Results: FNAB results of the patients who participated in the study are as follow; non-diagnostic for 7 patient (%5.7), atypia of undetermined significance for 7 patients(%5.7), bening neoplasm for 98 patients (79.7%) and malign cytology for 11 patients (%8.9). Histopathological results were maligned found in 1 out of 98 patients with benign neoplasm in cytology results in FNAB. The histopathological result was benign in 2 of 11 patients with malignant neoplasm in the cytology findings with FNAB. The specificity of FNAB in the diagnosis of parotid masses was found as 98% and the sensitivity was 90%. The positive predictive value (PPD) was detected as 86% and the negative predictive value was detected 98%.\u0000Conclusion: Since malignant masses of the parotid are rare and diverse, diagnosis with FNAB can be difficult. Another complicating factor is the similarity of low-grade malignant tumor and benign tumor. As a result, FNAB has high accuracy for benign parotid tumors, but low for malignant parotid tumors.","PeriodicalId":53622,"journal":{"name":"Duzce Medical Journal","volume":"369 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80420556","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 psychometric characteristics of the scale were determined in the sample groups where the participants were university students. The linguistic equivalence of the scale was tested with the participation of 88 people, while data from 605 participants was used to test the construct and criterion validity and reliability of the measurement tool. 383 females and 219 males participated in the study. The age range of the participants was between 16 and 31, with a mean age of 21.93 (SD=2.47). In order to identify the psychometric characteristics of the Executive Function Index, Explanatory factor analysis, Linear regression analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and t-test were performed, and the Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated. The participants were administered the Frontal System Behavior Inventory, Barrat Impulsivity Scale Short Form, and Interpersonal Reactivity Index to test the criterion validity of the Executive Function Scale. The explanatory factor analysis conducted for construct validity showed that the Turkish version of the scale had the same number of sub-tests as the original Executive Function Scale, and the Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients of the Turkish scale ranged from .54 to .76. The sub-tests of the scale were determined as impulse/impulse control, strategic planning, organization, empathy and motivational impulse. The linear regression analysis showed that age significantly predicted the total score, while gender did not predict the total score significantly. The t-test results showed that gender was significant only in impulse/impulse control and empathy sub-tests and had a moderate effect size. The results of the Pearson correlation analysis performed to test the criterion validity of the scale were mainly significant. The findings were largely similar to the original form of the scale. As a result, the research findings indicated that the scale could be used to measure the executive functions of Turkish university students.","PeriodicalId":53622,"journal":{"name":"Duzce Medical Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89483368","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}

Pain originating from the cervical vertebral axis constitutes a significant part of the pain in this region and is the most common musculoskeletal problem after low back pain. Deviations such as decreased cervical lordosis or the development of kyphosis are associated with pain and disability. Although cervical axis flattening is a very common condition, there is not enough data on its causes. This study aimed to reveal the underlying causes of cervical lordosis straightening. \u0000Material and method \u0000Cervical radiographs of the cases were taken in the neutral position and the cervical axis angle was measured between C2-C7 by the Cobb method. A regional detailed physical examination was performed for the locomotor system and the Beck Depression and Beck Anxiety scales were filled in. A cervical MRI was performed in all cases. Three months later, regional detailed physical examinations and radiography were performed again. Cases in which lordosis flattening continued in the last cervical radiographs were considered chronic. The cases were divided into two groups: acute and chronic phases. \u0000Results \u000025% of the acute cases were diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS),45% of them with tension-type headache (TTHA), 45% of them cervical spondylosis (CS), 30% of them with cervical disc herniation (CDH), 15% of them with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), 10% of them with anxiety, and 10% of them with depression.
