Methods: The design of the study is cross-sectional. An online survey including demographic information, positive and negative aspects of distance education, opinions about the process, and digital literacy scale was administered to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th year medical students and faculty members. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant in the data analysis. Results: A total of 513 individuals (52.9%) responded to the questionnaires. The mean digital literacy score was 3.42 +/- 0.84 for students and 3.57 +/- 0.82 for faculty members. For faculty members, age (B=-0.041, t=-2.72 p=0.009) and having no previous distance education experience (B=-0.813, t=-2.32 p=0.025), and for students, female gender (B=-0.287, t=-3.65 p < 0.001) and having no previous distance education experience (B=-0.343, t=-2.53 p=0.011). Conclusion: Distance education, which gained speed with the pandemic, will continue to exist in education in the coming years. Although the digital literacy scores of students and faculty members in the medical faculty are above average, advanced digital literacy will enable better and accurate use of digital technologies and a more effective and efficient education.","PeriodicalId":8757,"journal":{"name":"Bezmialem Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44248115","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}

Methods: This was an experimental study conducted on 60 healthy women who were admitted to the Noi Pilates in İstanbul Turkey, which was a private Pilates studio. The study was carried out on 60 grown-up, healthy women between 18 and 65 years of age who fasted in Ramadan 2019, some of whom did Pilates and some who did not. The women involved in the study had been doing Pilates for 6 months prior to Ramadan and did Pilates at least 3 times a week during Ramadan. Results: Significant increases were observed in body mass index (BMI), triceps skin-fold thickness (SFT), muscle mass and fat percentage in the fasting and non-pilates group (p<0.05). Our study found the change in the percentage of triceps SFT and fat in women who did Pilates to be more than those who did not. BMI, muscle mass, waist circumference and hip circumference of women who did Pilates and who did not do Pilates during Ramadan did not differ compared to the first measurements, and neither of the two methods dominated in terms of these variables. Conclusion: While a long period of fasting in Ramadan leads people to inactivity, personalized exercise and nutrition programs planned by experts may result in weight loss, especially for obese and slightly overweight people.","PeriodicalId":8757,"journal":{"name":"Bezmialem Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42696486","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 studies on cancer pain management, both in English and Turkish, of which full text versions were accessible, were systematically analyzed, and the studies without full text and ongoing studies were not included. The study was conducted by reviewing Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, EBSCOhost, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Ovid, ProQuest, Web of Science, and ULAKBİM National DataBases. There were no year restrictions in screening. Keywords such as “cancer pain”, “cancer pain management”, “reiki” and “palliative care” were used to access the studies. Nineteen research papers were accessed and 5 of them were found to be compatible with the inclusion criteria of our study. Cohrane was established as the guideline to determine levels of evidence. Of the included studies, one was a randomized controlled study, three were experimental studies, the other one was a systematic review. In our day, randomized controlled studies examining the effect of reiki therapy on pain in cancer patients who receive palliative care are limited. In particular, studies have shown that reiki is even more effective in reducing pain when used in addition to pharmacological treatment and conventional nursing care. It is observed that the studies are carried out with a small sample number and generally with a single group. Pain assessments are usually performed with care” were used to access the studies. Also, the reference list of all randomized clinical trials and review papers were checked to find suitable studies that were not identified by electronic search. After the abstracts of the papers were scanned, 19 papers were reached. It was determined that 5 of these studies met the criteria of inclusion in the research. These studies were analyzed separately When we examine the effect of reiki on physical and psychological recovery in cancer patients treated in palliative care, it is reported that reiki has a positive effect on reducing pain. However, there are gaps in matters such as which hand position to use in reiki therapy, the duration and frequency of the reiki session, and the application period. For this reason, it is recommended to conduct randomized controlled studies with a large sample group.","PeriodicalId":8757,"journal":{"name":"Bezmialem Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42334926","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 aim of this study was to evaluate the antidiabetic and antioxidant effects of aqueous extract of Lysimachia verticillaris (LV) and its isolated compounds, the percentage of apoptosis and histological changes in pancreatic β -cells in rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus. Male Spraque Dawley rats were into 6 groups. STZ (40 mg/kg) induced diabetic rats were treated orally with aqueous extract (400 mg/kg) and isolated compounds (20 mg/ kg). To interpret antidiabetic effect, serum glucose and insulin levels were measured and morphological changes of pancreas were examined. Serum samples were analysed for catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) levels to investigate antioxidant effect. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TDT)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assays were performed to reveal apoptosis of pancreatic β -cells. its phenolic compounds isolated (27). Present study aims to investigate the antidiabetic effects of the aqueous extract of the aerial parts of LV and its phenolic compounds gallic acid, myrcetin 3-O- α -rhamnopyranoside and quercetin 3-O- β -glucopyranoside isolated in our previous Results: Oral administration of the extract and isolated compounds reduced high blood glucose levels (p<0.005). Morever, the treatments were resulted in increased serum insulin (p≤0.05), CAT (p≤0.05), SOD (p≤0.05) and GPX (p≤0.05). All applications with compounds, especially with quercetin 3-O- β -glucopyranoside reduced the morphological impairment of pancreas. The percentage of TUNEL positive cells was higher (p≤0.05) in the pancreatic islets of untreated diabetic group than others groups. Conclusion: According to results, the extract and isolated compounds of LV displayed antidiabetic effect, while quercetin 3-O- β -glucopyranoside showed the highest antidiabetic effect. The antidiabetic effects of LV and phenolic compounds may be due to their antioxidant effects. Thus, LV and isolated compounds can be a potential source of herbal medicine for DM. However, it requires further investigations such as toxicological analysis studies and clinical trials.","PeriodicalId":8757,"journal":{"name":"Bezmialem Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45230901","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}

Methods: The electronic records of 18 patients with a history of cholecystectomy were reviewed retrospectively. The demographic findings of the patients, time passed after cholecystectomy, methods used in diagnosis, amylase levels, treatment choices, clinical follow-ups, mortality and morbidity rates, and length of hospital stay were evaluated. The Ranson criteria and Apache II score were used to determine the severity of pancreatitis. Results: Thirteen (72.2%) were female and 5 (27.8%) were male. The mean age was 57.83±12.59 (34-77). The mean time elapsed after cholecystectomy was 72.11±38.12 (5-130) months. The mean diameter of the common bile duct (CBD) was measured as 12.39±2.30 (8-15) mm. The average level of amylase was 986.50±323.29 (350-1530) U/L. Fifteen (83.33%) patients had mild, and 3 (16.67%) patients had moderately severe acute biliary pancreatitis. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) was performed on 16 patients during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Two patients were operated due to failure of ERCP. Choledochotomy, transduodenal sphincteroplasty and The T-tube drainage were performed on 1 patient. The other underwent choledochotomy and choledochoduodenostomy. The average length of stay in hospital was 7.89±4.91 (5-25) days. (5-130) months. The rate of incidence of patients with cholecystectomy in the etiology of ABP was found to be 3.08%. Intravenous contrast-enhanced abdominal tomography (CT) was performed on all patients to evaluate the pancreas. CT was repeated 48 and 96 hours later when patients’ clinical conditions had not changed. MRCP was performed on all patients to show the CBD diameter and the presence of stones.
