Barış, Adalet ve Güçlü Kurumlar
Sürdürülebilir kalkınma için barışçıl ve kapsayıcı toplumlar tesis etmek, herkes için adalete erişimi sağlamak ve her düzeyde etkili, hesap verebilir ve kapsayıcı kurumlar oluşturmak.
Barış, istikrar, insan hakları ve hukukun üstünlüğüne dayalı etkin yönetim olmadan, sürdürülebilir kalkınma olmasını bekleyemeyiz. Gittikçe artan ölçüde bölünmüş bir dünyada yaşıyoruz. Bazı bölgelerde barış, güvenlik ve refah sürekli iken, diğer bazı bölgelerde ise bitmek bilmeyen çatışma ve şiddet sarmalı var. Ancak bu, hiçbir şekilde kaçınılmaz sonuç değildir ve mutlaka çözümlenmelidir.

- PublicationMetadata onlyAge-Related Distribution of Basal Anti-Mullerian Hormone Levels in a Population of Infertile Women(2016-05-01) AYDIN, SERDAR; ÖZCAN, PINAR; AYDIN, SERDARAim: We aimed to constitute age-specific reference serum values for anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) in women, and to analyze the distribution of basal serum AMH levels in Turkish women of reproductive age attending an infertility clinic to provide a framework for expected values according to age. Material and Method: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on cycle day 2-3 serum AMH measurements of 409 women attending a single infertility unit in Turkey through a 12-month-period was performed. Results: Concentrations of serum AMH were shown to decrease with advancing age of the female partner. The mean age of the women was 34.04 +/- 5.39 years and the mean AMH level of the women was 1.77 +/- 1.82. The AMH levels were grouped according to age as follows: 20-24, 25-29, 30-34,35-39, and >40 years. The median AMH values were 2.16 ng/ml, 2.15 ng/ml, 1.71 ng/ml, 0.80 ng/ml, and 0.47 ng/ml, respectively according to the age groups. Discussion: The present data provide a framework for age-specific serum AMH levels in a Turkish population of infertile women.
- PublicationMetadata onlySyrian refugees- experiences with mental health services in Turkey: -I felt lonely because I wasn-t able to speak to anyone-(2019-10-01T00:00:00Z) DOĞAN, NAREG; Dikec, Gul; Uygun, Ersin; DOĞAN, NAREGPurpose This study examined Syrian refugee adults- experiences with mental health services due to a mental complaint. Design and Methods This qualitative study used a phenomenological design. The data were collected in semi-structured focus group interviews between June and August 2018. A total of 24 individuals participated in the study. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi-s method of phenomenological interpretation. Findings Seven themes were identified by thematic analysis of the interviews: (a) difficulties making appointments, (b) difficulties obtaining medicine, (c) personal rights, (d) lack of information, (e) language barrier, (f) discrimination, and (g) confidence versus anxiety. Practice Implications Nurses should be aware of the barriers experienced by refugees that affect the quality and accessibility of psychiatric services.
- PublicationOpen AccessRisk Factors for Cervical Cancer: Results from a Hospital-Based Case-Control Study(2011-01-01T00:00:00Z) Reis, Nesrin; Beji, Nezihe K.; KILIÇ, DilekThe aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for cervical cancer in Turkish women. In a hospital-based case-control study in Istanbul, 209 patients with histologically confirmed cervical cancer were compared with 1050 controls, who were admitted to the different departments of the same hospital. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (Cl) were obtained from multivariate logistic regression analysis, fitted by the method of maximum likelihood.
- PublicationMetadata onlyHydrosonographic assessment of the effects of 2 different suturing techniques on healing of the uterine scar after cesarean delivery(2014-06-01) Sevket, OSMAN; Ates, SEDA; MOLLA, Taner; OZKAL, Fulya; Uysal, Omer; Dansuk, RAMAZAN; ŞEVKET, OSMAN; ATEŞ, SEDA; UYSAL, ÖMER; DANSUK, RAMAZANObjective: To compare the effects of 2 suturing techniques (single versus double layer) on healing of the uterine scar after a cesarean delivery. Methods: In the present randomized, prospective study, 36 women with a term pregnancy who had an elective cesarean delivery were randomly assigned to closure of the uterine incision with a single-layer locked suture or with a double-layer locked/unlocked suture. Six months after the operation, the integrity of the cesarean scar at the uterine incision site was assessed by hydrosonography. The healing ratio and the thickness of the residual myometrium covering the defect were calculated as markers of uterine scar healing. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of estimated blood loss, operation time, or additional hemostatic suture. However, the mean thickness of the residual myometrium covering the defect was 9.95 +/- 1.94 mm after a double-layer closure and 7.53 +/- 2.54 mm after a single-layer closure (P = 0.005). The mean healing ratio was significantly higher after a double-layer closure (0.83 +/- 0.10) than after a single-layer closure (0.67 +/- 0.15; P = 0.004). Conclusion: A double-layer locked/unlocked closure of the uterine incision at cesarean delivery decreases the risk of poor uterine scar healing.

- PublicationMetadata onlyKikuchi Fujimato Disease(2013-12-01T00:00:00Z) Ertas, Burak; Veyseller, Bayram; Aksoy, Fadlullah; ÖZTURAN, ORHAN; Barutcu, Saime Gul; AKSOY, FADLULLAH; ÖZTURAN, ORHANKikuchi Fujimato disease (KFD) also know as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) is a benign, self limiting disease, which commonly affects young women under 30 years of age. Most of the cases resolve in a six month period. Laboratory and clinical findings of KFD show similarities with tuberculosis lymphadenitis, mailgn lymphoma, other malign and benign diseases. The diagnosis is established on the basis of histology of lymph node excisional biopsy. The differentiation of KFD from Sistemik Lupus Eritematosus (SLE) can sometimes be problematic because both can show similar clinical and histological features. KFD and SLE can be seen together. Forty two years-old female patient diagnosed with KFD was discussed in light of current literature.

- PublicationMetadata onlyPredictive role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios for diagnosis of acute appendicitis during pregnancy(2015-11-01T00:00:00Z) Yazar, Fatih Mehmet; Bakacak, Murat; Emre, Arif; Urfalioglu, Aykut; Serin, Salih; Cengiz, Emrah; Bulbuloglu, ERTAN; BÜLBÜLOĞLU, ERTANAcute appendicitis (AA) is not uncommon during pregnancy but can be difficult to diagnose. This study evaluated the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in addition to conventional diagnostic indicators of the disease to diagnose AA during pregnancy. Age, gestational age, white blood cell (WBC) count, Alvarado scores, C-reactive protein (CRP), lymphocyte count, NLR and PLR were compared among 28 pregnant women who underwent surgery for AA, 35 pregnant women wrongly suspected as having AA, 29 healthy pregnant women, and 30 nonpregnant healthy women. Mean WBC counts and CRP levels were higher in women with proven AA than in those of control groups (all p < 0.05). Among all the groups, the median NLR and PLR were significantly different in women with proven AA (all p < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to determine cut-off values for WBC count, CRP, lymphocyte count, NLR and PLR, and multiple logistic regression analysis showed that NLR and PLR used with routine methods could diagnose AA with 90.5% accuracy. Used in addition to routine diagnostic methods, NLR and PLR increased the accuracy of the diagnosis of AA in pregnant women. Copyright (C) 2015, Kaohsiung Medical University.

- PublicationMetadata onlyRenal replacement therapy for refugees with end-stage kidney disease: an international survey of the nephrological community(2016-12-01) VAN BIESEN, Wim; VANHOLDER, Raymond; VANDERHAEGEN, Bert; LAMEIRE, Norbert; WANNER, Christoph; WIECEK, Andrzej; SEVER, Mehmet S.; FEEHALLY, Johan; Kazancioglu, RÜMEYZA; RONDEAU, Eric; LEVIN, Adeera; HARRIS, David; KAZANCIOĞLU, RÜMEYZAProvision of health care for refugees poses many political, economical, and ethical questions. Data on the prevalence and management of refugees with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are scant. Nevertheless, the impact of refugees in need for renal replacement can be as high for the patient as for the receiving centers. The International Society of Nephrology and the European Renal Association/European Dialysis and Transplant Association surveyed their membership through Survey Monkey questionnaires to obtain data on epidemiology and management practices of refugees with ESKD. Refugees represent 1.5% of the dialysis population, but their geographic distribution is very skewed: coproduct 60% of centers treat 0, 15% treat 1, and a limited number of centers treat >20 refugees. Knowledge on financial and legal management of these patients is low. There is a lack of a structured approach by the government. Most respondents stated we have a moral duty to treat refugee patients with ESKD. Cultural rather than linguistic differences were perceived as a barrier for optimal care. Provision of dialysis for refugees with ESKD seems sustainable and logistically feasible, as they are only 1.5% of the regular dialysis population, but the skewed distribution potentially threatens optimal care. There is a need for education on financial and legal aspects of management of refugees with ESKD. Clear guidance from governing bodies should avoid unacceptable ethical dilemmas for the individual physician. Such strategies should balance access to care for all with equity and solidarity without jeopardizing the health care of the local population.
- PublicationOpen AccessSerum endocan levels in women with restless legs syndrome.(2015-11-19) CELIK, K; ÇıKRıKÇıOĞLU, MA; HALAC, G; KILIC, ERDEM; AYHAN, S; OZARAS, N; Karatoprak, CUMALİ; YILDIZ, KEMALETTİN; YILDIZ, RS; ZORLU, MEHMET; CAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; KıSKAÇ, MUHARREM; KILIÇ, ERDEM; YILDIZ, KEMALETTİN; ZORLU, MEHMET; KARATOPRAK, CUMALİ; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; KISKAÇ, MUHARREMBackground: Endocan is a recently introduced marker of endothelial dysfunction. The objective of this study was to compare serum endocan levels in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) and control subjects in order to elucidate whether RLS is associated with endothelial dysfunction. Methods: A total of 31 drug naïve female patients with RLS and 31 age- and BMI-matched women were included in the study. Patients with pathological or physiological conditions or with a history of medication use that could potentially influence endothelial functions were excluded, as well as those with alcohol or drug abuse history. The two groups were compared with routine blood tests and serum endocan levels. Results: Patients with RLS had lower serum endocan levels than the controls (P=0.037). There was a negative bivariate correlation between RLS severity score and serum endocan levels (r=-0.406, P=0.023). While white blood cell count was significantly higher in RLS group, 25-hydroxy vitamin D3, vitamin B12, transferrin saturation rate, and HDL-cholesterol were significantly lower. Creatininemia and diastolic blood pressure were also marginally insignificantly lower in RLS group. Due to the presence of differences between two groups in these variables, a linear regression analysis was performed that showed a positive association between endocan and creatininemia (β=0.310, P=0.022), and a negative association between endocan and RLS (β=-0.502, P,0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study seem to suggest that patients with RLS may have better endothelial functions when compared with the general population and that these patients may be better protected against atherosclerosis
