Osmanlı Devleti’nde kartpostalların kullanım amaçları
İnsanlık tarihi boyunca haberleşmenin insanlar için hayati önemi haiz olmuştur. Bu sebeple ilk çağdan itibaren insanlar, koşullarının elverdiği imkânlar dâhilinde haberleşme sistemlerini kurmuşlardır. Ancak makalemizin sınırları çerçevesinde bunlardan kısaca bahsedilecektir. Örneğin, İslamiyet Öncesi Türk Devletleri, İslami Dönem, Emevi, Abbasi Devletleri ve son olarak Osmanlı Devleti’nin haberleşme teşkilatlarından bahsedilecektir. Asıl konumuz olan kartpostallar Osmanlı’nın yenileşme çağı diye adlandırılan döneme denk gelmektedir. Teknolojinin ilerlemesiyle birlikte, haberleşme sistemlerinde yenilikler meydana gelmiştir. İnsanlar gördükleri yerleri paylaşma ihtiyacını yeni keşfedilen fotoğraf
makinelerinin yaptıkları çekimler ile karşılamışlardır. Çekilen fotoğrafların arkalarına düştükleri tarih ile görsel olarak ilk defa tarihe not düşmüşlerdir. Bu bağlamda kartpostalların kullanım alanları merak konusu oluşturmuş ve makalemizin ana eksenini şekillendirmiştir
Retinopathy of prematurity publications: A bibliometric analysis
Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the cytometric features of the retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in literature in the period of 1979-2019.
Materials and methods: This study utilized data from Thomson Reuters' Web of Science (WoS) database from 1979 to 2019, focusing on 'Retinopathy of Prematurity.' The research incorporated the VOS viewer tool for arranging bibliometric networks and figures. The data were divided and analyzed based on variables like time, country, authors, research institutes, and document types. Info maps and bibliometric infographics were created with Microsoft Excel and VOS-Viewer tools. Moreover, population data, GDP per capita, health expenditure, and ICU bed data were sourced from the World Bank and OECD Health Statistics.
Results: A total of 4080 publications in the period of 1979-2019 were scanned. Of all the evaluated publications, 2217 (54.33%) were original articles, 989 (24.24%) were meeting abstracts and 375 (9.19%) were letters, while the others were of the proceeding paper, editorial material, review, correction, book chapter types, respectively. The most widely used language was English with 3977 (97.47%) publications, while German was ranked second, followed by French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Turkish. A total of 83 countries made 4080 publications on ROP. The United States was the country with the most publications - 1820 (44.6%), followed by the UK - 262 (6.42%), India -242 (5.93%), Turkey - 178 (4.36%), Canada -167 (4.09%), Germany -154 (3.77%), China-153 (3.75%), respectively.
Conclusions: ROP is a significant global health issue with socio-economic implications. Despite higher citation rates in developed countries, efforts should be aimed at reducing healthcare and publication disparities. Screening programs and health policies are crucial, particularly in developing countries
Factors associated with urinoma accompanied by ureteral calculi
Objective: Urinoma is a rare entity and mainly occurs due to acute obstruction such as ureteral stone. We aimed to demonstrate factors associated with urinoma accompanied by ureteral calculi.
Material and methods: Data of 550 patients who were diagnosed with ureteral stone by computed tomography (CT) were analyzed retrospectively. In 20 patients perirenal urinoma was associated with ureteral calculi (group I), whereas in other 530 patients no urinoma was detected (group II). Gender, age, size, side and localization of the stone, hydronephrosis, fever, sepsis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), hematuria, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), presence of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT) and cronic kidney disease (CKD) of the two groups were compared.
Results: The average age of the patients were 46.2 (20-71) and 44.9 (10-82) years in group I and group II, respectively (p > 0.05). According to our results leukocytosis, microscopic and macroscopic hematuria, UTIs, increase of serum creatinine, BUN and CRP, diagnosis of DM and HT were significantly associated with urinoma (p < 0.05). In addition, patients with distal ureteral stones are more prone to urinoma (p = 0.001). An interesting finding of the study was that the stone size in group I (median 5 mm [range 3-8]) was significantly smaller than in group II (9.3 mm [4-25]; p = 0.001).
Conclusions: Small stone size, distal localisation of the stone in ureter, leukocytosis, hematuria, UTIs, increase of serum creatinine, BUN and CRP, presence of DM and HT are associated with perirenal urinoma
Effect of Nasopharyngeal Irrigation on Early Eustachian Tube Functions in Patients Undergoing Adenoidectomy: A Clinical Prospective Study
Objective:The hypertrophic adenoid tissue can cause to eustachian tube dysfunction by mechanical or inflammatory effect both of which block the nasopharyngeal ostium of the eustachian tube. Adenoidectomy, with or without tonsillectomy, is the most common surgical procedure in children. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether nasopharyngeal irrigation for hemorrhage control in adenoidectomy patients has an effect on eustachian tube functions.Method:Patients who underwent adenoidectomy for adenoid hypertrophy evaluated on both the preoperatively and on the postoperative first day by otomicroscopic examination and with tympanometry for eustachian tube functions. Patients were divided into two groups according to nasopharyngeal irrigation type after surgery. Group 1 was the transnasal pressure irrigation group; group 2 was transoral passive irrigation group. Tympanometry was used to measure pressure, volumetric, and compliance values to compare pre- and postoperative values.Results:40 patients were included in the study. There was no significant difference between the age and sex distributions of the patients. Volume and compliance values between the groups were similar before and after the surgery. The mean pressure values of the tympanometry parameters were highly significantly different for the right ear and moderately different for the left ear in group 1; were significantly different for the right ear and highly significantly different for the left ear in group 2. Postoperative tympanometry types were seen as bilateral type C in 7 patients, as right side type C in 4 patients, as bilateral type B in 2 patients, as left side type C in 4 patients in group 1. However, in group 2, right side type B, left side type B and bilateral type C tympanogram were observed in 1 patient, 2 patients and 12 patients, respectively.Conclusion:In this study, we observed that the nasopharyngeal irrigation to control bleeding after adenoidectomy had adverse effect on the eustachian tube functions but larger series of studies are needed to confirm this
Prospective assessment of VI-RADS score in multiparametric MRI in bladder cancer: accuracy and the factors affecting the results
PURPOSEWe aimed to investigate the accuracy of Vesical Imaging - Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) in the detection of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and to determine which factors affect the results of this scoring system.METHODSA prospective data analysis of 80 patients who were detected to have bladder tumor was performed between March 2019 and October 2020. VI-RADS scoring was used to determine the probability of muscle invasion. The scores were compared with pathological results to evaluate the accuracy of the VI-RADS scoring system. Interobserver agreement was assessed by VI-RADS scoring of 20 randomly chosen patients by a different experienced radiologist.RESULTSUsing the VI-RADS scoring system, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) were 87.5%, 87.5%, 63.6%, and 96.6%, respectively. The interobserver agreement expressed as the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.72 (95% CI: 0.44-0.84, P < .001). In addition, the flat appearance of the tumor was an important factor affecting the accuracy of the VI-RADS score (odds ratio: 5.3 [95% CI: 1.1-27.0] and relative risk: 1.87 [95% CI: 1.24-2.82]).CONCLUSIONThe mpMRI, used in conjunction with VI-RADS, has proven to be an effective imaging method for detecting muscle invasion in cases of bladder cancer. VI-RADS scoring system can distinguish whether there is a muscle-invasive and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with acceptable accuracy. In addition, the flat appearance of the tumor is an important entity that can affect the accuracy of the VI-RADS scoring system
