The effect of entrepreneurial personality traits of undergraduates in the area of education of physical education and sports on the entrepreneurship tendency

The aim of the study is to identify the existing situation of entrepreneurship, whose importance gradually increases for the last 20 years, among university students taking education in the area of education of physical education and sports; to study whether or not entrepreneurial personality traits (desire to succeed, resolution, practical intelligence, innovativeness, independence, self-confidence) affect entrepreneurship tendency; and to try to identify the degree of this effect. The sample of the study consist of 610 students from the Departments of Physical Education Teaching, Coaching Education, and Sports Management, who receive undergraduate education in Collegeges of Physical Education and Sports in Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey, Niğde, Aksaray, and Erciyes Universities and Faculty of Sport Sciences, Gazi and Selcuk  University. In the study, sociodemographic form as well as “Entrepreneurial Personality Traits Inventory” to identify entrepreneurial personality traits, and Entrepreneurship Education Inventory were utilized. As a result of the study, among entrepreneurial personality traits, other than the factors of innovativeness and independence, it revealed that entrepreneurial personality traits had an effect on entrepreneurship education. In addition, it was also identified that there was a positive directional significant relationship between entrepreneurial personality traits and entrepreneur education. As also understood from here, among the other elements (family, belief, culture, etc.) affecting entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial personality traits have an important place in terms of entrepreneurship education

Giant left anterior descending coronary artery aneurysm in a patient with Behçet’s disease

Coronary artery involvement is quite rare in the course of Behçet’s disease. Complications secondary to coronary artery aneurysms, including rupture, dissection, and myocardial ischemia, may be fatal. In young patients without cardiovascular risk factors, systemic inflammatory vasculitis syndromes should be investigated in case of acute coronary syndrome secondary to dilated coronary arteries. In this report, we present our management strategy in a 31-year-old male patient with Bechet’s disease

¿La aplicación de pegamento de fibrina perivascular tiene un efecto preventivo del daño endotelial en el injerto de vena safena? Un modelo experimental

Background. The effect of tissue adhesives on coronary grafts in cardiac surgery is a controversial issue. Objective. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of fibrin glue (FG) applied around the saphenous vein grafts (SVG) in preventing cellular damage resulting from intraluminal pressure increase. Methods. Twenty volunteer patients were included in this ex vivo study. The SVGs remained after coronary artery bypass grafting were connected to the arterial line of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. The grafts were divided into two segments and one segment received perivascular FG applied whereas the other part was used plain. SVGs were kept in circulation at 120 mmHg pressure 250 mL/min flow rate for 60 min. The tissues were sent for histopathological examination to determine the endothelial damage. Results. Endothelial damage was more pronounced in the control group when compared with the FG group. In the FG group, no damage was seen in 13 samples and no Type 3 endothelial damage was observe whereas Type 1 injury was detected in seven specimens, Type 2 injury was observed in seven specimens, and Type 3 injury was detected in two specimens in the control group. Conclusion. Perivascular application of FG on the SVG showed a protective effect against endothelial damage resulting from increased intraluminal pressure.Antecedentes. El efecto de los adhesivos tisulares sobre los injertos coronarios en cirugía cardíaca es un tema controvertido. Objetivo. Investigar el efecto del pegamento de fibrina aplicado alrededor de los injertos de vena safena para prevenir el daño celular resultante del aumento de la presión intraluminal. Método. En este estudio ex vivo fueron incluidos 20 pacientes voluntarios. Los injertos de vena safena que quedaron después del injerto de derivación de la arteria coronaria se conectaron a la línea arterial del circuito de derivación cardiopulmonar. Los injertos se dividieron en dos segmentos y a uno de ellos se le aplicó pegamento de fibrina perivascular, mientras que la otra parte se usó sola. Los injertos de vena safena se mantuvieron en circulación a una presión de 120 mmHg y una velocidad de flujo de 250 ml/min durante 60 minutos. Los tejidos se enviaron para examen histopatológico para determinar el daño endotelial. Resultados. El daño endotelial fue más pronunciado en el grupo de control ue en el grupo de pegamento de fibrina. Se observó lesión de tipo 2 en siete muestras del grupo de pegamento de fibrina y lesión de tipo 3 en dos muestras del grupo de control. Conclusiones. La aplicación perivascular de pegamento de fibrina en los injertos de vena safena mostró un efecto protector contra el daño endotelial resultante del aumento de la presión intraluminal

The effect of renin-angiotensin blockers on COVID-19 related mortality: A tertiary center's experience

Background: The first reports on coronaviruse disease 2019 (COVID-19) revealed an exaggerated mortality rate in hypertensive patients. In this regard, concerns about angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors’ and angiotensin-receptor blockers’ (ARBs) have been aroused. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the potential bad outcome effect of hypertension and anti-hypertensive therapy on COVID-19. Methods: 183 patients with polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR)-proven COVID-19, who were admitted to our hospital and consulted to cardiology department between 15th of March and 15th of April 2020 were included. Data were recruited from hospital records. Results: Thirty-two out of 183 patients with COVID-19 died in hospital. Hypertension incidence was not statistically different between patients who survived and died (76 [50.3%] vs 19 [59.4%, p = 0.352]). Although the usage rate of ACEI were similar among groups, ARB usage rate was significantly higher in patients who died than survived (11 [34.4%] vs 23 [15.2%], p = 0.011). Binary regression analysis showed an association between ARBs and mortality (OR: 0.032, 95% CI 1.045–2.623, p = 0.032). Conclusion: Our study confirmed previous concerns regarding a potential harmful effects of ARBs on COVID-19 related mortality.Kontext: První zprávy o onemocnění koronavirem v roce 2019 (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) ukazovaly na zvýšenou mortalitu jedinců s hypertenzí, což vyvolalo obavy ohledně užívání inhibitorů angiotenzin konvertujícího enzymu (ACEI) a blokátorů receptoru AT1 pro angiotenzin II (ARB). Cílem naší studie bylo posoudit možnost nepříznivého vlivu onemocnění covid-19 na závažnost hypertenze a účinnost antihypertenzní léčby. Metody: Do studie bylo zařazeno 183 pacientů s onemocněním covid-19 prokázaným PCR testem, kteří byli v období od 15. března do 15. dubna 2020 přijati do naší nemocnice a následně odesláni na kardiologickou kliniku. Údaje byly získány z nemocničních záznamů. Výsledky: Celkem 32 ze 183 pacientů s onemocněním covid-19 zemřelo v nemocnici. Incidence hypertenze se mezi pacienty, kteří přežili a zemřeli, statisticky významně nelišila (76 [50,3 %] vs. 19 [59,4 %]; p = 0,352). I když podíly pacientů užívajících inhibitory ACE byly v obou skupinách podobné, léčiva ze skupiny ARB užívalo statisticky významně více pacientů, kteří zemřeli, než těch, kteří přežili (11 [34,4 %] vs. 23 [15,2 %]; p = 0,011). Binární regresní analýza prokázala souvislost mezi užíváním ARB a mortalitou (OR: 0,032; 95% CI 1,045–2,623; p = 0,032). Závěr: Naše studie potvrdila původní obavy týkající se možných škodlivých účinků lékové skupiny ARB na mortalitu v souvislosti v onemocněním covid-19

İnterrupted aortik ark tedavisi karmaşık bir süreçtir. Cerrahi rekonstrüksiyon genellikle myokard iskemisine neden olan aortik kros klempleme, kalbin durdurulması ve hatta kansız operasyon sahası için derin hipotermi gerektirir.Bu yazıda, normotermik şartlarda, kalbi durdurmadan çıkan aort, aortik ark ve proksimal desendan aort replasmanını selektif kanülasyon ve tüm vücut perfüzyonunu sağlayan cerrahi teknik ile tedavi ettiğimiz konjenital düzeltilmiş büyük arter transpozisyonu, tip A kesintili aortik ark ve hipoplazik asendan aortu olan hastamızı sunuyoruz.Treatment of interrupted aortic arch is complex. Surgical reconstruction consists of procedures that cause myocardial ischemia, such as aortic cross clamping, cardioplegia, and hypothermia. In this article, we present a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries together with Type A interruption as well as hypoplastic ascending aorta and the aortic arch. The replacement of the aorta, aortic arch, and the proximal descending aorta was performed under normothermic conditions without cardioplegia, which was achieved with a technique that preserves the systemic blood supply by using selective cannulation

Low oxygen saturation following total correction in a patient with tetralogy of fallot and persistant left superior caval vein - How did we diagnose and manage?

Association of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with the other intracardiac pathologies such as atrial septal defect (ASD), atrioventricular canal defect or persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), absent pulmonary valve are well known pathologies. The associated pathologies require specifi c attention during surgical treatment. In this manuscript, we present management of a four-month-old girl who was diagnosed with TOF and PLSVC but the diagnosis of unroofed coronary sinus was missed in her. Association of unroofed coronary sinus with TOF is a very rare variant of TOF pathology.Souvislost mezi Fallotovou tetralogií (tetralogy of Fallot, TOF) a jinými intrakardiálními patologiemi, jako jsou defekt septa síní (atrial septal defect, ASD), defekt síňokomorového kanálu nebo perzistentní levostranná horní dutá žíla (persistent left superior vena cava, PLSVC) i absence plicní chlopně, je dobře známa. Během chirurgického výkonu vyžadují přidružená onemocnění obzvláštní pozornost. V tomto článku popisujeme léčbu čtyřměsíční dívky s diagnózou TOF a PLSVC, u níž však byl přehlédnut nezastřešený koronární sinus. Nezastřešený koronární sinus se vyskytuje současně s TOF velmi vzácně
