    (2021-08-01T00:00:00Z) ŞAHAN, EBRU; TANGİLNTİZ, AİSE; ŞAHAN, EBRU; TANGİLNTİZ, AİSE
    Objectives During the COVID-19 pandemic, excessive workload, a rapidly changing workplace environment, the danger of carrying the virus and transmitting the disease to their families, relatives and those they live with creates stress for the medical workers. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the state and trait anxiety levels of healthcare professionals who encounter patients with suspected COVID-19 infection and related factors. Method Data were collected from healthcare professionals working with patients diagnosed or suspected with COVID-19 via online self-report questionnaire between 9-19 April 2020. The state (STAI-S) and trait anxiety (STAI-T) scale was used to measure anxiety. Results A total of 291 healthcare professionals, 216 women and 75 men, participated in the study. Women-s state and trait anxiety were significantly higher than men-s. 11 participants without any lifetime psychiatric illness experienced psychiatric symptoms and consulted to a psychiatrist. The state anxiety of those who have children, nurses and those working in branches directly related to the pandemic (Infectious Diseases, Respiratory Diseases, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Radiology, Anesthesiology and Reanimation) was higher than others. The state anxiety of those who thought they were not protected with personal protective equipment and those who did not stay in their own home was higher than others. Conclusions At the forefront of the fight against COVID-19, there are medical personnel who pay a serious psychological cost. Especially in terms of anxiety, we should pay attention to women, workers with children, nurses and people working in branches that are directly related to pandemics.

    Impact of training on practical skills of Iraqi health providers towards integrated management of neonate and child health - a multicentre cross sectional study
    (2018-05-01T00:00:00Z) Al-Ezzi, Saad Ahmed Ali; AL-EZZI, SAAD AHMED ALİ
    Background:This study aims to assess the mandatory practical skills of caregivers towards the implementation of the Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) strategy in primary health care (PHC) centers of Salah al-Din governorate in Iraq.Methods:A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted from January to May 2014. An equal sample of 42 trained and 42 non-trained caregivers who are working in 20 PHC centers in Tikrit city and other districts of Salah al-Din governorate of Iraq were included. The study tool was a semi-structured questionnaire with 20 questions covering different required practical skills that caregivers should have. The total score was 100 and in a range of 4- 6 points for each question. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the means of numerical variables.Results:The mean age of total respondents were (33.18 ± 5.82Years), and the vast majority (63, 75.0%) were females. More than two-third (58, 69.0%) were paramedical compared to 26 (31.0%), who were doctors. Trained caregivers had statistically significant better practice (73.48 ± 13.46) compared to non- trained caregivers (63.95 ± 17.44). Trained doctors had statistically significant better practice (88.15 ± 2.70) compared to trained paramedical staff (66.90 ± 10.84). Trained caregivers from Tikrit city had statistically significantly better practice (80.26 ± 7.38) compared to trained caregivers from districts (67.89± 14.85). The highest proportion (97.5%) of trained caregivers felt the child for fever or body hotness appropriately, and the lowest proportion (59.5%) of them recorded age, height, and weight correctly.Conclusion:This study showed that training has a positive influence on the implementation of IMNCI interventions. IMNCI-trained caregivers were more likely to correctly classify illnesses than non-trained caregivers.

    High-Content Quantification of Single-Cell Immune Dynamics
    (2016-04-01T00:00:00Z) Junkin, Michael; Kaestli, Alicia J.; Cheng, Zhang; Jordi, Christian; Albayrak, CEM; Hoffmann, Alexander; Tay, Savas; ALBAYRAK, CEM
    Cells receive time-varying signals from the environment and generate functional responses by secreting their own signaling molecules. Characterizing dynamic input-output relationships in single cells is crucial for understanding and modeling cellular systems. We developed an automated microfluidic system that delivers precisely defined dynamical inputs to individual living cells and simultaneously measures key immune parameters dynamically. Our system combines nanoliter immunoassays, microfluidic input generation, and time-lapse microscopy, enabling study of previously untestable aspects of immunity by measuring time-dependent cytokine secretion and transcription factor activity from single cells stimulated with dynamic inflammatory inputs. Employing this system to analyze macrophage signal processing under pathogen inputs, we found that the dynamics of TNF secretion are highly heterogeneous and surprisingly uncorrelated with the dynamics of NF-kappa B, the transcription factor controlling TNF production. Computational modeling of the LPS/TLR4 pathway shows that post-transcriptional regulation by TRIF is a key determinant of noisy and uncorrelated TNF secretion dynamics in single macrophages.

    Aim Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) may cause shock and even death in children. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical features, laboratory characteristics and outcome of children diagnosed with MIS-C in 25 different hospitals in Turkey. Methods The retrospective study was conducted between 8 April and 28 October 2020 in 25 different hospitals from 17 cities. Data were collected from patients- medical records using a standardised form. Clinical and laboratory characteristics and outcomes according to different age groups, gender and body mass index percentiles were compared using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results The study comprised 101 patients, median age 7 years (interquartile range (IQR) 4.6-9.3); 51 (50.5%) were boys. Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was positive in 21/100 (21%) patients; 62/83 (74.6%) patients had positive serology for SARS-CoV-2. The predominant complaints were fever (100%), fatigue (n = 90, 89.1%), and gastrointestinal symptoms (n = 81, 80.2%). Serum C-reactive protein (in 101 patients, median 165 mg/L; range 112-228), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (73/84, median 53 mm/s; IQR 30-84) and procalcitonin levels (86/89, median 5 mu g/L; IQR 0.58-20.2) were elevated. Thirty-eight patients (37.6%) required admission to intensive care. Kawasaki disease (KD) was diagnosed in 70 (69.3%) patients, 40 of whom had classical KD. Most patients were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (n = 92, 91%) and glucocorticoids (n = 59, 58.4%). Seven patients (6.9%) died. Conclusion The clinical spectrum of MIS-C is broad, but clinicians should consider MIS-C in the differential diagnosis when persistent fever, fatigue and gastrointestinal symptoms are prominent. Most patients diagnosed with MIS-C were previously healthy. Immunomodulatory treatment and supportive intensive care are important in the management of cases with MIS-C. Glucocorticoids and intravenous immunoglobulins are the most common immunomodulatory treatment options for MIS-C. Prompt diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for optimal management.

    Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) diagnosis remains difficult because the clinical features overlap with Kawasaki disease (KD). The study aims to highlight the clinical and laboratory features and outcomes of patients with MISC whose clinical manifestations overlap with or without KD. This study is a retrospective analysis of a case series designed for patients aged 1 month to 18 years in 28 hospitals between November 1, 2020, and June 9, 2021. Patient demographics, complaints, laboratory results, echocardiographic results, system involvement, and outcomes were recorded. A total of 614 patients were enrolled; the median age was 7.4 years (interquartile range (IQR) 3.9-12 years). A total of 277 (45.1%) patients with MIS-C had manifestations that overlapped with KD, including 92 (33.3%) patients with complete KD and 185 (66.7%) with incomplete KD. Lymphocyte and platelet counts were significantly lower in patients with MISC, overlapped with KD (lymphocyte count 1080 vs. 1280 cells × μL, p = 0.028; platelet count 166 vs. 216 cells × 103/μL, p < 0.001). The median serum procalcitonin levels were statistically higher in patients overlapped with KD (3.18 vs. 1.68 µg/L, p = 0.001). Coronary artery dilatation was statistically significant in patients with overlap with KD (13.4% vs. 6.8%, p = 0.007), while myocarditis was significantly more common in patients without overlap with KD features (2.6% vs 7.4%, p = 0.009). The association between clinical and laboratory findings and overlap with KD was investigated. Age > 12 years reduced the risk of overlap with KD by 66% (p < 0.001, 95% CI 0.217-0.550), lethargy increased the risk of overlap with KD by 2.6-fold (p = 0.011, 95% CI 1.244-5.439), and each unit more albumin (g/dl) reduced the risk of overlap with KD by 60% (p < 0.001, 95% CI 0.298-0.559). Conclusion: Almost half of the patients with MISC had clinical features that overlapped with KD; in particular, incomplete KD was present. The median age was lower in patients with KD-like features. Lymphocyte and platelet counts were lower, and ferritin and procalcitonin levels were significantly higher in patients with overlap with KD.

    Time Series Analysis of the Microbiota of Children Suffering From Acute Infectious Diarrhea and Their Recovery After Treatment
    (2018-06-12) Dinleyici, Ener C.; MARTINEZ-MARTINEZ, Daniel; KARA, ATEŞ; KARBUZ, Adem; DALGIC, Nazan; METIN, Ozge; YAZAR, Ahmet S.; GUVEN, Sirin; Kurugol, Zafer; Turel, Ozden; KUCUKKOC, Mehmet; YASA, Olcay; Eren, Makbule; Ozen, Metehan; MANUEL MARTI, Jose; GARAY, Carlos P.; VANDENPLAS, Yvan; MOYA, Andres; TÜREL, ÖZDEN
    Gut microbiota is closely related to acute infectious diarrhea, one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in children worldwide. Understanding the dynamics of the recovery from this disease is of clinical interest. This work aims to correlate the dynamics of gut microbiota with the evolution of children who were suffering from acute infectious diarrhea caused by a rotavirus, and their recovery after the administration of a probiotic, Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745. The experiment involved 10 children with acute infectious diarrhea caused by a rotavirus, and six healthy children, all aged between 3 and 4 years. The children who suffered the rotavirus infection received S. boulardii CNCM I-745 twice daily for the first 5 days of the experiment. Fecal samples were collected from each participant at 0, 3, 5, 10, and 30 days after probiotic administration. Microbial composition was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Alpha and beta diversity were calculated, along with dynamical analysis based on Taylor's law to assess the temporal stability of the microbiota. All children infected with the rotavirus stopped having diarrhea at day 3 after the intervention. We observed low alpha diversities in the first 5 days (p-value < 0.05, Wilcoxon test), larger at 10 and 30 days after probiotic treatment. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed differences in the gut microbiota of healthy children and of those who suffered from acute diarrhea in the first days (p-value < 0.05, ADONIS test), but not in the last days of the experiment. Temporal variability was larger in children infected with the rotavirus than in healthy ones. In particular, Gammaproteobacteria class was found to be abundant in children with acute diarrhea. We identified the microbiota transition from a diseased state to a healthy one with time, whose characterization may lead to relevant clinical data. This work highlights the importance of using time series for the study of dysbiosis related to diarrhea.

    OTİZM SPEKTRUM BOZUKLUĞU OLAN BİREYLERDE HEMŞİRELİK BAKIMI
    (2022-08-05) Çopur Ş.; Koçkesen B.; Geçgin T.; Taş K.; Kıyak Y.; Aştı T.; KIYAK, YASEMIN; AŞTI, TÜRKINAZ
    Özet: Otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) tanım olarak çocukluk çağında belirti veren, ortaya çıkış nedeni tam olarak belli olmayan, nöro-gelişimsel bir hastalıktır1. OSB’nin etiyolojisi tam olarak açıklanamasa da son on yıla bakıldığında bu durumun genetik, çevresel, nöroanatomik, nörokimyasal ve nörofizyolojik birçok etkenden kaynaklı olabileceğine yönelik çalışmalar mevcuttur 1,2. OSB’nin bireyde tanı koyulabilmesi için Amerikan Psikiyatri Birliği (APA) tarafından hazırlanan DSM-5 kriterleri kullanılmaktadır. DSM-5’e göre, otizm tanılamasında iki temel klinik özellik vardır. Bunlar toplumsal iletişim ve etkileşimde bozulma ile kısıtlı yineleyici davranışlardır. OSB’li bireyler; bilişsel, duyuşsal, davranışsal, iletişim ve sosyal etkileşim kurmada birçok sorun yaşamaktadır 1,2,3. OSB’li bireylerin tedavisinde ise bireye uygun bir eğitim planlanmasının yanı sıra çeşitli bilişsel ve davranışsal terapilerin uygulanması, hastalık sürecinin yönetilmesi bakımından önem taşımaktadır2,3. OSB erken çocuklukta görülen, kesin tedavisi olmayan bir bozukluk olmasına rağmen hastalığın erken dönemde saptanması birey için tedavideki başarı şansını arttırmaktadır. Son yıllarda OSB’nin tanısındaki artış, toplumda OSB’nin erken tanılama sürecinin başlatılmasında sağlık profesyonellerinin önemli rolü olduğunu göstermektedir2,3. Yaygın gelişimsel bozukluk olan OSB’nin erken çocukluk döneminde tanılanmasında ise hemşireler özellikle uygulayıcı, eğitici, rehberlik ve danışmanlık görevleri kapsamında anahtar bir role sahiptir3,4,5. Hemşireler bu rolleri doğrultusunda çocuk bakımında ve büyüme-gelişme izleminde yapacakları fiziki muayene ile OSB’nin erken tanılanmasında yardımcı olabilir, doğru iletişim tekniklerini kullanarak OSB’li bireyin bakımında etkin rol oynayabilir ve ebeveynlerin gelişimselbozukluklar konusunda bilgilendirilmesini sağlayarak, tedavi sürecinin daha etkin ve etkili yönetilmesine rehberlik edebilir4,5,6,7. Literatürde yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde; hemşirelerin OSB’li bireylerin tanılanmasında önemli bilgi birikimine sahip oldukları6 ve OSB hakkında eğitim alan hemşirelerin OSB’li bireylerin tanılanmasında bilgi düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu7 saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak hemşireler, OSB’nin erken tanılanma ve müdahale süreçlerinde aracı ve önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu kapsamda hemşirelerin OSB’nin tespit edilmesinde gerekli bilgi, beceriye sahip olmaları, OSB’li bireyin büyüme-gelişiminde erken müdahalelerde bulunmaları, ebeveynleri desteklemeleri ve OSB’nin tedavi sürecinin yönetiminde diğer sağlık ekibi üyeleriyle iş birliği içerisinde olup çeşitli stratejiler geliştirmeleri gerekmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Otizm spektrum bozukluğu, hemşirelik bakımı, erken tanı, tedavi.

    A Catalyst for Social Economy: Society 5.0
    (Istanbul University Publication, 2023-02-01) Toker K.; TOKER, KEREM
    As our planet moves towards the middle of the 21st century, it faces a dizzying digital transformation process. This transformation brings along with it unique and innovative solutions to numerous social, organizational, and managerial issues. The most tangible of these solutions so far is the vision of Society 5.0 announced by the Japanese government in 2016. Within this scope, the purpose of this chapter is to develop conceptual insight into the reasons for the emergence, components, and goals of Society 5.0. Up-to-date research and current reports on the topic have been examined in this context, and a conceptual framework is formed. The findings show that many digital tools of Society 5.0 are already used in economies, but policymakers discuss these tools’ human-centered reuse. As a result, a positive futuristic perspective has been drawn that humanity will continue its life on a more habitable planet for decades to come and unite digital and physical space. Keywords: Society 5.0, Social Economy, Digital Transformation
