Publication Open Access Anxiety levels of breast cancer patients in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic(2021-07-01T00:00:00Z) YASİN, Ayşe İrem; TOPÇU, Atakan; SHBAIR, ABDALLAH T.M.; SUCUOĞLU İŞLEYEN, ZEHRA; ÖZTÜRK, AHMET; BEŞİROĞLU, MEHMET; TÜRK, HACI MEHMET; YASİN, AYŞE İREM; TOPÇU, ATAKAN; SHBAIR, ABDALLAH T.M.; SUCUOĞLU İŞLEYEN, ZEHRA; ÖZTÜRK, AHMET; BEŞİROĞLU, MEHMET; TÜRK, HACI MEHMETAim: To assess the anxiety levels of breast cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials & methods: A total of 298 patients completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S and STAI-T) and the Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety (VAS) and VAS for Anxiety in COVID-19 (VAS-CoV). Results: 144 patients were in the high anxiety category for STAI-S, and 202 patients were in the high anxiety category for STAI-T. STAI-T score was significantly high in the metastatic group (p = 0.017). VAS-CoV score in the hormonotherapy group was significantly higher than in the no-treatment group (p = 0.023). There was a positive correlation between VAS-CoV and VAS levels (r = 0.708, p < 0.001), VAS-CoV and STAI-S and STAI-T scores (r = 0.402, p < 0.001; r = 0.185, p = 0.001, respectively), and a negative correlation between education years and STAI-T scores (r = -0.172, p = 0.003). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic is related to high anxiety levels in breast cancer patients.Publication Open Access Effects of Weight Loss with Bariatric Surgery on Platelet Count and Volume(2018-07-01) Ilhan, Muzaffer; KARAMAN, ÖZCAN; Yasin, Ayse Irem; TURGUT, SEDA; TAŞAN, ERTUĞRUL; KARAMAN, ÖZCAN; YASİN, AYŞE İREM; TURGUT, SEDA; TAŞAN, ERTUĞRULObjective: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder that leads to the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to investigate the effect of weight loss on the platelet count and volume, which is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Methods: In total, 56 obese patients were recruited for the study. The parameters were retrospectively evaluated before and after 6 months of surgery. Results: The mean weight of the patients was 126.2±23.1 kg before surgery and 91.8±20.5 kg after surgery (p<0.001). The mean platelet counts were 292.5±58.6×10³/µL before surgery and 246.8±59.1×10³/µL after surgery (p<0.001). The mean platelet volumes were 10.4±1.0 fL and 11.6±0.9 fL before and after surgery, respectively (p<0.001). The mean platelet counts before surgery were correlated with the mean platelet volume, mean weight, and mean body mass index (p<0.01, r=−0.39, p<0.01, r=0.35, p<0.01, r=0.41, respectively). The mean platelet counts after surgery were correlated with the mean platelet volume (p<0.001, r=−0.68). Conclusion: This study demonstrated decreased platelet counts and increased platelet volume at 6 months after surgery in obese patients. Further long-term and prospective studies are warranted to clarify these results and pathopsychological mechanisms involved.Publication Open Access Efficacy and safety profile of COVID-19 vaccine in cancer patients: a prospective, multicenter cohort study(2022-01-01T00:00:00Z) YASİN, Ayşe İrem; Aydin, Sabin Goktas; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; KORAL, LOKMAN; ŞİMŞEK, MELİH; Geredeli, Caglayan; Ozturk, Akin; Perkin, Perihan; Demirtas, Derya; Erdemoglu, Engin; HACIBEKİROĞLU, İLHAN; Cakir, Emre; Tanrikulu, Eda; Coban, Ezgi; Ozcelik, Melike; Celik, Sinemis; Teker, Fatih; AKSOY, ASUDE; Firat, Sedat T.; Tekin, Omer; Kalkan, Ziya; Turken, Orhan; Oven, Bala B.; Dane, Faysal; Bilici, Ahmet; Isikdogan, Abdurrahman; ŞEKER, Mesut; TÜRK, HACI MEHMET; Gumus, Mahmut; YASİN, AYŞE İREM; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; ŞİMŞEK, MELİH; ŞEKER, MESUT; TÜRK, HACI MEHMETAim: To compare the seropositivity rate of cancer patients with noncancer controls after inactive SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and evaluate the factors affecting seropositivity. Method: Spike IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 were measured in blood samples of 776 cancer patients and 715 noncancer volunteers. An IgG level ≥50 AU/ml is accepted as seropositive. Results: The seropositivity rate was 85.2% in the patient group and 97.5% in the control group. The seropositivity rate and antibody levels were significantly lower in the patient group (p < 0.001). Age and chemotherapy were associated with lower seropositivity in cancer patients (p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study highlighted the efficacy and safety of the inactivated vaccine in cancer patients.
