    (2020-06-01T00:00:00Z) Sari, Tugrul; Usumez, Aslihan; Strasser, Thomas; ŞAHİNBAŞ, ABDURRAHMAN; Rosentritt, Martin; ŞAHİNBAŞ, ABDURRAHMAN
    Objective The aim of this investigation was to compare clinical performance and in vitro wear of temporary CAD/CAM and cartridge crowns. This study is an approach to estimate the influence of in vivo use and laboratory simulation on temporary crowns. Materials and methods A total of 90 crowns were fabricated from each temporary CAD/CAM or cartridge material. Also, 10 crowns of each material were clinically applied for 14 days, and 80 identical duplicate restorations were investigated in the laboratory after storage in water (14 days; 37 degrees C) and subsequent thermal cycling and mechanical loading (TCML, 240.000 x 50N ML, 600 x 5 degrees C/55 degrees C). After in vivo application or in vitro aging, facture force, superficial wear (mean and maximum), surface roughness (Ra, Rz), thermal weight loss (TGA), and heat of reaction (DSC) were determined for all crowns. Statistics: Bonferroni post hoc test; one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA);alpha = 0.05). Results The fracture resistance of the temporary materials varied between 1196.4 (CAD in vivo) and 1598.3 N (cartridge crown in vitro). Mean (maximum) wear data between 204.7 (386.7 mu m; cartridge in vitro) and 353.0 mu m (621.8 mu m; CAD in vitro) were found. Ra values ranged between 4.4 and 4.9 mu m and Rz values between 36.0 and 40.8 mu m. DSC and TG analysis revealed small differences between the materials but a strong influence of the aging process. Conclusions Comparison of in vivo and in vitro aging led to no significant differences in fracture force and wear but differences in roughness, DSC, and TGA. SEM evaluation confirmed comparability. Comparison of CAD/CAM and cartridge temporary materials partially showed significant differences.

    Palliative Care in High and Low Resource Countries
    (2021-01-01T00:00:00Z) KEBUDİ, Rejin; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; Silbermann, Michael; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL
    Palliative Care (PC) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a support provided by multiple disciplines in order to improve the quality of life of both patients and their caregivers, throughout the disease course, from diagnosis to end- of-life. PC aims to prevent and treat symptoms and side effects of the disease and its treatment. PC is well developed in most high-income countries; however in most low-income settings, where approximately 80% of patients with cancer requiring PC care for advanced disease live, PC services are still uncommon. Health indicators monitoring global PC development are policy, education, use of medicines, service provision and professional activity. Globally, PC development may be categorized as Group 1 (no known hospice-PC activity), Group 2 (capacity-building activity), Groups 3a Isolated PC provided, 3b Generalized PC provided, 4a hospice-PC services at a stage of integration into regular service provision, and 4b hospice-PC services at a stage of advanced integration into regular service provision. Spirituality is an essential element of patient-centered PC. The use of Complementary and Traditional Medicine (CTM) in Middle Eastern countries is widespread. There are wide discrepancies in cancer care and PC in many regions of the world. The Individualized Care Planning and Coordination (ICPC) Model is designed to facilitate the advance care planning with continuity of all the measures like symptom control or emotional, social and spiritual care of both the patient and the family during the disease steps like relapse or end of life.

    (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.

    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.

    (2020-09-01T00:00:00Z) Yücesan, Emrah; Ng, Ozden Hatirnaz; Yalniz, Fevzi Firat; Yilmaz, Hulya; Salihoglu, Ayse; Sudutan, Tugce; Eşkazan, Ahmet Emre; Ongoren, Seniz; Baslar, Zafer; Soysal, Teoman; Ozbek, Ugur; Sayitoglu, Muge; Ar, M. Cem; YÜCESAN, EMRAH
    Objectives Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease with heterogeneous background. FCGR2C mutations were defined in one third of the patients but genetic players have not been fully elucidated yet. Although childhood ITP present as benign, ITP in adulthood is chronic disease with treatment challenges. This study aimed to focus on adult ITP patients using a whole genome genotyping that is valuable approach to identify the responsible genomic regions for the disease. Methods Herein 24 adult primary-refractory for ITP patients were evaluated using HumanCytoSNP12BeadChip,Illumina. Forty-six age and sex matched healthy individuals, and ptients awith nonhematological conditions were analyzed as controls. Identified CNV regions were verified by qRTPCR. T-cell receptor beta and delta (TCRB/TCRG) clonality were assessed by heteroduplex analysis in mosaic cases. Results Several CNV losses and gains were defined (losses:2q,7q,17q,19p, and gains: 1q,2p,3q,4q,7q,10q,12p,13q,14q,15q,17p,20q,21p,22q,Xp). Mosaic changes of different sizes (0.2-17.77Mb) were identified in five patients and three of them showed clonality. CNV regions that were unique to ITP patients were identified for the first time and among these genes, those related to immune regulation, and cellular trafficking were noteworthy. Conclusion: Identified CNV regions harbor several candidate genes, the functions of which might shed light on the pathogenesis of chronic ITP.

    Does Workplace Stress Affect Decision-Making Styles of Clinical Nurses? A Survey Study
    (2021-05-01T00:00:00Z) Denizsever, Selin; Ateş, Nimet; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmancı; ATEŞ, NİMET
    Background: Clinical nurses must make accurate decisions to provide safe and qualified nursing care in hospitals where the working environment gets stressful each day. Aim: To determine the decision-making styles and workplace stress levels of clinical nurses and to investigate whether their stress levels affect the decision-making styles of them. Methodology: Descriptive and cross-sectional study. This study took place in a public university hospital in Istanbul in 2016. The sample consisted of 337 nurses. Data were collected by a questionnaire that consisted of a demographic data form, -Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire I-II- and -Workplace Stress Scale.- Result: There was a positive correlation between the scores of the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire II and the Workplace Stress Scale. There were differences between the participants’ Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire I-II scores according to their Workplace Stress Scale scores. Conclusion: Nurses’ workplace stress levels and their decision-making styles were significantly related to each other. Nurses who were exposed to high level of workplace stress had a low level of self-esteem (selfconfidence) and tended to make decisions in hyper-vigilance style. Keywords: clinical nursing, decision making, workplace stress
