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.

    QT interval changes in term pregnant women living at moderately high altitude
    (2016-09-01) BATMAZ, G.; AKSOY, A.; Aydin, SERDAR; Dane, B.; AYDIN, SERDAR; KAHRAMAN AY, NURAY
    Objective: This study aimed to compare the QT interval changes in women with term pregnancy living at moderately high altitude (1890 m in Erzurum, Turkey) with those of women living at sea level (31 m in İstanbul, Turkey). Materials and Methods: One‑hundred ten women (n = 55, for each group) with full‑term and single child pregnancies. Two different locations in that state were selected: İstanbul, Turkey, which is at 31 m above sea level (Group 1) and Erzurum, Turkey, at 1890 m above sea level (Group 2). Physicians from the two locations participated in the study. We estimated QTc, QTc Max, QTc Min, QT, and QTcd intervals. Results: Moderately high altitude group had significantly longer QT parameters (QTc, QTc Max, QTc Min, QT, and QTcd intervals) compared with sea level group (P < 0.01, for all). Conclusions: According to our results, QT interval changes occur in term pregnant women living moderately high altitude. These changes may be associated with pregnancy‑related cardiovascular complications in moderately high altitude.

    Effects of altitude changes on Doppler flow parameters for uterine, umbilical, and mid-cerebral arteries in term pregnancy: A pilot study
    (2015-12-01T00:00:00Z) Aksoy, Ayse Nur; Batmaz, Gonca; Dane, Banu; Kucur, Suna Kabil; Gozukara, Ilay; KILIÇOĞLU DANE, PAKİZER BANU
    Objective: We hypothesized that maternal and fetal circulations may be affected by moderately high altitudes. Therefore, we compared the differences in maternal and fetal Doppler flow parameters in women with term pregnancy living at a moderately high altitude (1890 m in Erzurum) with those of women living at the sea level (31 m in Istanbul).

    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.
