Description

İklim Eylemi İklim değişikliği ve etkileri ile mücadele için acilen eyleme geçmek. Dünya üzerinde iklim değişikliğinin ağır etkilerini bizzat yaşamayan tek ülke yoktur. Sera gazı emisyonları atmaya devam ediyor ve şu anda, 1990 yılındaki düzeye göre %50 artmış durumdadır. Doğu Avrupa ve Orta Asya, büyük sera gazı emisyonu üreticileri değiller; ancak iklim değişikliğinin sonuçlarından orantısız biçimde zarar görüyorlar. Küresel ısınma, insanların hayatını ciddi ölçüde etkiliyor. Hemen şimdi harekete geçmeliyiz.

    Sensitization pattern of inhalant allergens in children with asthma who are living different altitudes in Turkey
    (2015-11-01T00:00:00Z) ÖZKAYA, EMİN; Sogut, Ayhan; Kucukkoc, Mehmet; Eres, Mustafa; Acemoglu, Hamit; YÜKSEL, HASAN; MURAT, NACİ; ÖZKAYA, EMİN; ZORLU, MEHMET
    Variability in children-s allergic sensitization has been detected not only among different countries but also among cities within the same nation but yet different climatic areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitization pattern of asthmatic children who lived in different altitude areas: the two largest Turkish cities, Istanbul (sea level) and Erzurum (high altitude). Five hundred and twelve asthmatic children (6-15 years old) from Istanbul (western Turkey, at sea level) and 609 from Erzurum (eastern Turkey, at an altitude of 1800 m) were included in the study. All participants underwent skin testing with common inhalant allergens, spirometry, total IgE level, and clinical examination. The positive sensitization ratio to aeroallergens in children with asthma living at sea level was statistically higher than that in children living in the high altitude group [p = 0.001, OR (odds ratio) 4.9 (confidence interval (CI) 3.67-6.459)]. However, pollen sensitization in asthmatic children living in high altitudes was significantly higher than that in children living at sea level [p = 0.00, OR 2.6 (CI 1.79-3.87)]. Children with asthma who live at high altitudes are characterized by higher pollen but lower mite sensitization rates than those living at sea level in Turkey. Different climatic conditions and altitudes may affect aeroallergen sensitization in children with asthma.

    (2012-10-01) SEVGİ, ECE; ALTUNDAĞ, ERNAZ; KARA, OMER; SEVGI, ORHAN; TECIMEN, HUSEYIN BARIS; BOLAT, ILYAS; SEVGİ, ECE
    Morphological, anatomical and ecological characteristics of Anacamptis pyramidalis (L.) L. C. M. Richard in Turkey were investigated in this study. Plant materials of A. pyramidalis were provided from 21 native populations between 2007 and 2009 in Turkey, and their localities were recorded. A. pyramidalis samples were evaluated within 19 morphological, 20 anatomical, and 18 soil characters & habitat properties. The findings of this study are as follows: The plant length was minimum 248 mm and maximum 655 Iran, underground part length minimum 23 mm and maximum 140 mm, and number of leaves change between 2 and 14. The leaves were tetrastic, had no trichomes. In surface section of the leaves, the cuticle thickness (abaxial and adaxial), epidermis cell size (abaxial and adaxial) stomata dimensions and stomata index were measured. The epidermal cells- rows were parellel to the midrib. In cross sections of the leaves, upper epidermis was larger than lower epidermis. Vascular bundles were collateral and consist of xylem, phloem and sclerenchyma cells. Raphide bundles were observed in the mesophyll tissue and leaf midrib had lacunas. Chlorenchyma had scattered homogeneously. According to habitat definition of A. pyramidalis it grows from sea level to 1600 m whereas the most common habitat of A. pyramidalis are meadow, macchie and gaps in the forest lands. A. pyramidalis are grown in stony soils and also are rich in clay, and medium in organic carbon. pH of the soils differ from 6.77 to 7.54.

    Social environmental impact of COVID-19 and erectile dysfunction: an explorative review.
    (2021-09-24T00:00:00Z) Pizzol, D; Shin, J I; Trott, M; Ilie, P-C; Ippoliti, S; Carrie, A M; Ghayda, R A; Lozano, J M O; Muyor, J M; Butler, L; McDermott, D T; Barnett, Y; Markovic, L; Grabovac, Igor; Koyanagi, A; Soysal, PINAR; Tully, M A; Veronese, N; Smith, L; SOYSAL, PINAR
    Background: To date, no attempt has been made to collate literature on the relationship between the social environmental impact of COVID-19 and erectile dysfunction. The aim of this explorative review was to assess and compare the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in male healthcare workers and males during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A systematic review of major databases from inception to February 2021 was conducted. Prevalence data were extracted, and a random-effects meta-analysis was undertaken. Outcomes: The pooled prevalence of ED amongst healthcare workers working in COVID-19 specific environments, and non-healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Of 52 initial studies, six were included for the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of ED in healthcare workers working in a COVID-19 environment was 63.6% (95% CI 20.3-92.3%), and in non-healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic was 31.9% (95% CI 19.5-47.6%). Conclusion: The prevalence of ED in healthcare workers working in COVID-19 environments was higher than representative samples and is of concern. Sexual health (and by extension, overall health), should be a priority when considering ways to care for this population. Considering the social environmental impact of COVID-19 on sexual health and in particular on ED, it is important to provide adequate psychological support systems and to promote quality of life with particular attention to sexual health.

    Indirect Effect Of A Dentistry And Medical School Hospital Before And After Covid-19 On The Environment
    (2021-03-20T00:00:00Z) Ekinci, Esma; Armagan, Sara; KILIÇ, BANU
    Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (WHO)’ne göre küresel ısınma tüm dünyada insanların karşılaştığı ciddi sorunlardan biridir.(WHO 2011) Gelecek nesiller için dünyanın uzun bir süre daha var olması önem taşımaktadır. Dolayısıyla bir diş hekimi olarak çevre dostu bir yöntem kullanarak doğanın ko runmasına yönelik katkı sağlamak bizim sorumluluğumuzdur. Küresel ısınmanın en önemli sebeplerinden biri de çevresel kirliliktir. Yapılan çeşitli araştırmalara göre, diş hekimliğinin çevreye etkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Birleşik Krallık Ulusal Sağlık Sistemi (NHS)’ne göre karbon ayakizine en büyük katkıyı dental servislere yapılan giriş çıkışlar ve tedarik süreci oluşturmaktadır. Diş hekimliği klinikleri, diğer sağlık kuruluşlarına kıyasla daha az atık üretiyor olsa da, son on yılda dental atıklarda önemli bir artış gözlenmektedir. Çeşitli ülkelerde yapılan akademik araştırmalarda, Covid-19 sürecinden bağımsız olarak değerlendirilen kliniklerden esinlenerek Bezmialem Vakıf Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği ve Tıp Fakültesi Hastanelerinde bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Covid-19 öncesi ve sonrası bir diş hekimliği ve tıp fakültesi hastanesinin kullandığı ve harcadığı materyallerin (2019-2020 yıllarının Haziran-Aralık ayları arasındaki dezen-fektan, sabun, kağıt, hasta sayısı, doğalgaz, elektrik ve geri dönüşüm atıkları) derlenmesiyle sağlık sektörünün karbon ayakizinin bu süreçte hangi yönlerde değişime uğradığını belirtmektedir. Matery-allerin belirlenen süreçlerdeki hem yıllık değişimi hem de hasta başına düşen birim değişimi dikkate alınmıştır. Sağlık sektöründeki bireyler olarak bu süreci nasıl değerlendirmiş olduğumuzu gösteren bu çalışma, gelecekte benzer pandemilerin yaşanması durumunda öngörülecek durumları ve dikkat edilmesi gereken noktaları göz önüne sermiştir

    Ribavirin is not effective against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever: observations from the Turkish experience
    (2013-10-01) CEYLAN, Bahadir; CALICA, Aylin; AK, Oznur; Akkoyunlu, YASEMİN; TURHAN, Vedat; AKKOYUNLU, YASEMİN
    Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral infection associated with a high mortality rate. Ribavirin is the only drug used in the treatment of this disease. Studies investigating the effectiveness of ribavirin in CCHF have been retrospective and to date have included only a small number of cases. In recent years, due to climate changes, the number of cases of CCHF in Turkey has increased, and experience in the treatment of CCHF has improved. Several studies have evaluated the efficacy of ribavirin in Turkey, including one randomized controlled trial and two studies with a large number of cases. In these studies, ribavirin therapy was not shown to decrease mortality rates; the mortality rate was 2–9% in patients treated with ribavirin and 5.6–11% in those who were not treated with this drug. These findings suggest that patients with CCHF should be followed with supportive care only until randomized controlled trials with larger groups have been conducted.

    Impact of Altitude on Predicting Midterm Outcome in Patients With ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
    (2013-07-01T00:00:00Z) Isik, Turgay; Tanboga, Ibrahim Halil; Ayhan, Erkan; Uyarel, Huseyin; Kaya, Ahmet; Kurt, Mustafa; Erdogan, Ercan; Ergelen, Mehmet; Cicek, Gokhan; Akgul, Ozgur; Ghannadian, Bahman; KAYA, AHMET
    This study investigated the effects of altitude on occurrence of mid-term negative events among patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study enrolled 492 patients with STEMI. 119 of those patients were living at an intermediate altitude (1960 m, Group I) and 373 were living at sea level (0 m, Group II). There was no significant difference between the different altitude groups in terms of the incidence of cardiac death, urgent target vessel revascularization (TVR), stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and composite endpoints. However, Group I had a significantly higher reinfarction incidence when compared with the Group II. Independent predictors of 6-month composite endpoints were history of statin use, presentation with acute stent thrombosis, peak CK-MB level, success of procedure, Killip classification, and left ventricular ejection fraction. In conclusion, altitude status and altitude-related hematologic changes had no influence over the mid-term outcomes in STEMI patients treated with percutaneous intervention.
