Publication Metadata only Palliative Care in High and Low Resource Countries(2021-01-01T00:00:00Z) KEBUDİ, Rejin; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; Silbermann, Michael; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜLPalliative 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.Publication Metadata only Cross-sectional study: long term follow-up care for pediatric cancer survivors in a developing country, Turkey: current status, challenges, and future perspectives(2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) Incesoy Ozdemir, Sonay; TAÇYILDIZ, NURDAN; VARAN, ALİ; KEBUDİ, Rejin; ZÜLFİKAR, Osman Bülent; Celkan, Tiraje; Sahin, Gurses; Corapcioglu, Funda; Keskin Yildirim, Zuhal; PINARLI, FARUK GÜÇLÜ; Olgun, Nur; Sari, Neriman; Dagdemir, Ayhan; Ozyoruk, Derya; Eren, Tuba; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; Adakli Aksoy, Basak; Bozkurt, Ceyhun; Guler, Elif; Ozguven, Ali Aykan; Erbey, Fatih; Berber, Melda; Dincaslan, Handan; Unal, Emel; Kantar, Mehmet; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜLAim: The main purpose of this study is to determine the current status of long-term follow-up (LTFU) for childhood cancer survivors and the challenges of LTFU for pediatric cancer survivors at pediatric oncology institutions in Turkey.Publication Open Access Persistent pleural effusion in an infant with an unusual diagnosis: congenital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma(2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) Yozgat, Can Yilmaz; YEŞİLBAŞ, Osman; YOZGAT, Yılmaz; AKDEMİR, OSMAN CEMİL; YURTSEVER, İsmail; TEKİN, NUR; BAGHISHOV, DAMAT; BAYRAMOVA, NİGAR; ELAGÖZ, Şahande; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; YEŞİLBAŞ, OSMAN; YOZGAT, YILMAZ; AKDEMİR, OSMAN CEMİL; YURTSEVER, İSMAİL; TEKİN, NUR; BAGHISHOV, DAMAT; BAYRAMOVA, NİGAR; ELAGÖZ, ŞAHANDE; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜLRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a malignant form of neoplasm that originates from skeletal muscle. RMSs can exist anywhere in the human body but are more commonly detected in the neck region and extremities. The alveolar type is one of the subtypes of RMS that has a poor prognosis. Because the clinical manifestation of a tumour can be a painless mass, symptoms might be non-contributary to the diagnosis. Herein, a four-month-old girl was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of respiratory distress without a runny nose, cough, and fever. Recurrent effusions subsided with subsequent tube thoracostomy. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was performed to determine the aetiology of the recurrent effusion. The Tru-Cut biopsy obtained during VATS resulted in the diagnosis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Pleural effusion decreased, and the tube drainage was stopped rapidly after first vincristine, actinomycin-D, and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy cycle. Persistent and recurrent pleural effusions should alert physicians to rule out unusual diagnoses like that of our case.Publication Metadata only Central Nervous System Fungal Infections in Children With Leukemia and Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.(2022-08-25T00:00:00Z) Karaman, Serap; Kebudi, Rejin; Kizilocak, Hande; Karakas, Zeynep; Demirag, Bengu; Evim, Melike S; Yarali, Nese; Kaya, Zuhre; Karagun, Barbaros S; Aydogdu, Selime; Caliskan, Umran; Ayhan, Aylin C; Bahadir, Aysenur; Cakir, Betul; Guner, Burcak T; Albayrak, Canan; Karapinar, Deniz Y; Kazanci, Elif G; Unal, Ekrem; Turkkan, Emine; Akici, Ferhan; Bor, Ozcan; Vural, Sema; Yilmaz, Sebnem; Apak, Hilmi; Baytan, Birol; Tahta, Neryal M; Güzelkucuk, Zeliha; Kocak, Ulker; Antmen, Bulent; Tokgöz, Huseyin; Fisgin, Tunc; Özdemir, Nihal; Gunes, Adalet M; Vergin, Canan; Unuvar, Aysegul; Ozbek, Namik; Tugcu, Deniz; Bay, Sema B; Tanyildiz, Hikmet G; Celkan, Tiraje; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜLPublication Metadata only Effect of virtual reality-based exercise intervention on sleep quality in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and healthy siblings: A randomized controlled trial.(2022-03-15T00:00:00Z) Tanriverdi, Müberra; Cakir, Erkan; Akkoyunlu, Muhammed Emin; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRA; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜLPublication Open Access Surprise diagnosis in an adolescent case with chronic kidney damage: Answers.(2021-01-11T00:00:00Z) Doğan, Güzide; Akıncı, Nurver; Sharifov, Rasul; Şentürk, Hakan; Türk, HACI MEHMET; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; ŞENTÜRK, HAKAN; TÜRK, HACI MEHMETPublication Metadata only Post- infectious bronchiolitis obliterans in children: Clinical and radiological evaluation and long- term results.(2021-06-04T00:00:00Z) Yazan, Hakan; Khalif, Fathouma; Shadfaan, Lina Al; Bilgin, Sennur; Nursoy, Mustafa; Cakin, Zeynep Ebru; Cakir, Erkan; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; UZUNER, SELÇUK; ÇAKIR, ERKANPublication Open Access Surprise diagnosis in an adolescent case with chronic kidney damage: Questions.(2021-01-11T00:00:00Z) Doğan, Güzide; Akıncı, Nurver; Sharifov, Rasul; Çakır, Fatma Betül; Türk, HACI MEHMET; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; ŞENTÜRK, HAKAN; TÜRK, HACI MEHMETA 17-year-old male patient presented to the emergency room due to fatigue, severe right flank pain, and rectal bleeding that happened 3 months ago as well, and elevated serum creatinine (1.4 mg/dl), bilateral hydroureteronephrosis, and bilateral echogenic kidneys were detected at that time. Micturating cystourethrography revealed grade 2 vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) on the right. Scintigraphy revealed 66% functioning right kidney with a non-obstructive stasis and 34% functioning left kidney with poor perfusion and concentrating ability. With these findings, a diagnosis of chronic kidney damage (CKD) secondary to VUR was made. He had no previous urinary tract infection or symptoms of dysfunctional bladder. He had a laboratory examination 2 years ago which revealed normal urea (41 mg/dl) and creatinine (0.7 mg/dl) levels. He had no abdominal imaging before 3 months ago. In his family history, he had a cousin with a diagnosis of infantile myxoid mesenchymal tumor.Publication Open Access Relationships Between Bronchoscopy, Microbiology, and Radiology in Noncystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis(2021-05-01T00:00:00Z) NURSOY, MUSTAFA ATİLLA; KILINÇ SAKALLI, Ayşe Ayzıt; ABDİLLAHİ, FATOUMA KHALİF; USTABAŞ KAHRAMAN, Feyza; Al Shadfan, Lina Muhammed; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; Bilgin, Sabriye Sennur; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; DAŞKAYA, HAYRETTİN; ÇAKIR, Erkan; NURSOY, MUSTAFA ATİLLA; ABDİLLAHİ, FATOUMA KHALİF; USTABAŞ KAHRAMAN, FEYZA; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; DAŞKAYA, HAYRETTİN; ÇAKIR, ERKANBackground: Published data on the correlations of bronchoscopy findings with microbiological, radiological, and pulmonary function test results in children with noncystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis (BE) are unavailable. The aims of this study were to evaluate relationships between Bronchoscopic appearance and secretion scoring, microbiological growth, radiological severity level, and pulmonary function tests in patients with non-CF BE. Methods: Children with non-CF BE were identified and collected over a 6-year period. Their medical charts and radiologic and bronchoscopic notes were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The study population consisted of 54 female and 49 male patients with a mean age of 11.7 ± 3.4 years. In the classification according to the bronchoscopic secretion score, Grade I was found in 2, Grade II in 4, Grade III in 9, Grade IV in 17, Grade V in 25, and Grade VI in 46 patients. When evaluated according to the Bhalla scoring system, 45 patients had mild BE, 37 had moderate BE, and 21 had severe BE. Microbial growth was detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from 50 of the patients. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and functional vital capacity decreased with increasing bronchoscopic secretion grade (P = 0.048 and P = 0.04), respectively. The degree of radiological severity increased in parallel with the bronchoscopic secretion score (P = 0.007). However, no relationship was detected between microbiological growth rate and radiological findings (P = 0.403). Conclusions: This study showed that bronchoscopic evaluation and especially scoring of secretions correlate with severe clinical condition, decrease in pulmonary function test, worsening in radiology scores, and increase in microbiological bacterial load in patients. Flexible endoscopic bronchoscopy should be kept in mind in the initial evaluation of non-CF BE patients.Publication Metadata only Assessment of Anxiety, Depression and Hopelessness of the Mothers of Children with Cancer: A Pilot Study of Comparing Evaluation Scales(2021-01-01T00:00:00Z) Tanrıverdi, Müberra; Kısmet, Malik; Çakır, Fatma Betül; TANRIVERDİ, MÜBERRA; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL
