The effects of previous regular use of acetylsalicylic acid on TIMI flow grade and myocardial damage in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome

Kardiyovasküler hastalıklar dünya çapında önde gelen en önemli ölüm nedenidir. Kardiyovasküler hastalıkların sekonder korumasında antiagregan tedaviler önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile; akut koroner sendrom ile başvuran hastalarda, daha önceden düzenli asetilsalisilik asit kullanımının TIMI akımı ve miyokardiyal hasar üzerine olan etkileri araştırılacaktır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya retrospektif olarak akut koroner sendrom kliniği ile başvurmuş ve koroner anjiyografi yapılmış hastalar alındı. Hastalar daha önceden düzenli asetilsalisilik asit kullanan (grup 1) ve hiç asetilsalisilik asit kullanmayanlar olarak (grup 2) iki gruba ayrıldı. Gruplar arasında demografik veriler, laboratuvar verileri, TIMI akımları ve miyokardial hasar belirteci olarak troponin I değerleri karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 440 hasta alındı. Grup 1’de 122 hasta (yaş ortalaması 64.9±1 yıl; 25 (%20.5) kadın) ve grup 2’de 318 hasta (yaş ortalaması 61±0.7 yıl; 83 (%26.1) kadın) yer aldı. Grup 1’de ileri yaş, hipertansiyon, diyabetes mellitus, hiperlipidemi ve koroner arter hastalığı öyküsü daha yüksek oranda gözlendi. Grup 1’deki hastalarda TIMI-0 akım grup 2’ye göre anlamlı olarak daha düşük oranda gözlendi (%30.3’e karşın, %47.8; p=0.004). Bunun yanı sıra; grup 1’deki hastaların maksimum ölçülen troponin I değerleri grup 2’deki hastalara göre anlamlı olarak daha düşük düzeyde bulundu (median 5486 pg/ml’ye karşın 15740 pg/ml; p <0.001). Sonuç: Akut koroner sendrom kliniği ile başvurmuş ve daha önceden düzenli asetilsalisilik asit kullanan hastalarda TIMI akım dereceleri daha yüksek ve enzimatik miyokardiyal hasar miktarı daha az bulunmuştur. Böylelikle sekonder korumanın önemi bu çalışmayla bir kez daha vurgulanmıştır.Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Antiaggregant therapies have an important place in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, the effects of regular use of acetylsalicylic acid on TIMI flow grade and myocardial damage will be investigated in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: The patients who admitted with the clinic of acute coronary syndrome and underwent coronary angiography were included in the study, retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups as those who used acetylsalicylic acid regularly (group 1) and those who never used acetylsalicylic acid (group 2). Demographic data, laboratory data, TIMI flow grade and troponin-I values as a marker of myocardial damage were compared between the groups. Results: 440 patients were included in the study. There were 122 patients in group 1(mean age 64.9±1.0 years; 25(20.5%) women) and 318 patients in group 2(mean age 61.0±0.7 years; 83(26.1%) women). Advanced age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and history of coronary artery disease were observed at a higher rate in group 1. TIMI-0 flow was observed at a significantly lower rate in patients in group 1(30.3% vs. 47.8%; p=0.004). Additionally, the maximum measured troponin values of the patients in group 1 were found significantly lower (median 5486 pg/ml vs. 15740 pg/ml; p<0.001). Conclusion: TIMI flow grades were higher and the amount of enzymatic myocardial damage was found less in patients who admitted with the clinic of acute coronary syndrome and used previously regular acetylsalicylic acid. Thus, the importance of secondary protection was emphasized once again in this study

Relationship Between Heart Rate Recovery and Mean Platelet Volume in Healthy Individuals

Heart rate recovery index (HRRI) and mean platelet volume (MPV) are two cardiovascular prognostic markers. Low HRRI and high MPV values have been observed in several diseases and conditions. However, the relationship between these two markers is unclear. In this study, the relationship between HRRI and MPV in healthy individuals is examined. Materials and Methods: The exercise tests performed between January and December 2020 were evaluated, and 120 individuals who met the study criteria were included in the present study. An abnormal HRRI was defined as a decrease in heart rate of 12 beats or more until one minute after the peak of exercise. Those with abnormal HRRI were defined as the study group (n=60), and those with normal HRRI as the control group (n=60). Results: A total of 120 healthy individuals were included in the study (54% female; mean age 40.14±7.90 years). High- er MPV values were detected in the study group when compared to the control group (10.27±0.10 fl vs. 9.44±0.12 fl; p<0.001). This significance continued in the logistic regression analysis (odds ratio=3.78, p<0.001). In addition, a moderate negative correlation was found between HRRI and MPV (r=-0.404, p<0.001). The MPV value of 10.25 fl was identified as an effective cutoff point for the prediction of abnormal HRRI (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.758; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.674–0.843). Conclusion: Healthy individuals with abnormal HRRI have elevated MPV levels. Additionally, a negative correlation be- tween MPV and HRRI in healthy subjects indicates a causal relation between MPV and autonomic dysfunction

AimThe study was conducted to determine the attitudes of midwives and nurses working in a university hospital in the Black Sea Region towards gender roles and influencing factors.MethodIt was a descriptive study and was carried out with 173 midwives and nurses. The sample size of the study was determined by G power analysis. The data were collected using “Introductory Information Form” and “Social Roles Attitude Scale”.FindingsThe majority of the nurses and midwives participating in the study were female (68.8%), university graduates (61.3%), nurse(92.5%) single (60.7%). Their mean age was 26.98±5.14. Social Roles Attitude Scale scores of midwives and nurses were found to be low. Gender was identified as an important factor influencing social gender attitude.In our study, the egalitarian gender role, female gender role, gender role in marriage, traditional gender role and male gender role scores were found higher in female midwives and nurses than male nurses (p&lt;0.05). As their age increased, the mean scores of the midwives and nurses’ gender role were found to decrease (p &lt;0.05). The single midwives and nurses were found to have more egalitarian gender roles (p &lt;0.05).ConclisuionOne of the factors influencing the gender attitude of midwives and nurses is the education level of the mother. As the mothers’ level of education increased in the study, it was determined that the role of gender was increased in the participants. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetAmaçÇalışma "Karadeniz Bölgesinde  bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan ebe ve hemşirelerin toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin tutumlarını ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla" yapılmıştır.MetotAraştırmanın tipi tanımlayıcıdır.   Çalışma  173 ebe ve hemşire ile yürütülmüştür.

Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinin iki önemli alt bölgesini temsil eden Diyarbakır ve Kızıltepe lokasyonlarında 2011-2012 yetiştirme sezonunda yürütülen bu çalışma, adaptasyon kabiliyeti ve kalite özellikleri yönünden üstün durum buğday genotiplerini belirlemek ve ıslah programlarında kullanmak amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, ICARDA (International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas)’dan temin edilen 18 hat ile 5 kontrol çeşit (Omrabi5, Younes1, Korifla, Waha, Miki2) ile beraber, bölgede ekilen Zühre çeşidi standart olarak kullanılmıştır. Deneme, tesadüf blokları deneme dese-nine göre iki lokasyonda ve üç tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuştur. Çalışmada tane verimi, bin tane ağırlığı, hektolitre ağırlığı, pro-tein içeriği, irmik rengi ile SDS değeri incelenmiştir. Yapılan bileşik analize göre, hektolitre ağırlığı dışındaki bütün paramet-reler açısından genotipler arasında önemli farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir. Lokasyonlar arasında tane verimi ve bin tane ağırlığı; genotip x lokasyon interaksiyonunda ise tane verimi, bin tane ağırlığı ve protein oranı bakımından önemli farklılıklar göz-lenmiştir. Ayrıca özellikler arası ve genotip-özellik ilişkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla Biplot analizi uygulanmıştır. Bu ana-liz yöntemiyle, birbirleriyle ilişkili özellikler ve belirli özellikler açısından öne çıkan genotipler görsel olarak gösterilmiştir. İki lokasyon ortalamasına göre verim ve kalite özellikleri ile ilgili umut vadeden genotipler, ıslah programının ileri kademele-rine alınmıştır.This study was performed in growing season of 2011-2012 in Diyarbakır and Kızıltepe, representing two important subregions of Southeast Anatolia Region, in order to identify durum wheat genotypes having superior adaptaptation capabilities and quality features to be used in breeding programs. The material used in the study included 18 lines and 5 control varieties (Omrabi5, Younes1, Korifla, Waha, Miki2) obtained from ICARDA (International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas)and Zühre durum wheat variety cultivated in the region as the standart. The trials were performed as a randomized complete block design experiment with three replications in two locations. Grain yield, thousand kernel weight, hectoliter weight, protein content, semolina color and SDS value were evaluated in the study. The results of the analyses of compound variances revealed significant differences between genotypes in all the parameters except hectoliter weight. Significant differences were found between locations in terms of grain yield and thousand kernel weight and in terms of grain yield, thousand kernel weight and protein content between the genotype x location interaction. A biplot analysis method was performed to evaluate inter-trait and genotype-trait relationships. Traits related to each other and the genotypes featured in terms of particular traits were visually shown by this analysis. Promising genotypes according to the grain yield and quality characteristics based on two location averages were taken to the advanced stages of the breeding progra

Prognostic Role of High Sensitive Troponin T In Patients With Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

TEZ10321Tez (Uzmanlık) -- Çukurova Üniversitesi, Adana, 2013.Kaynakça (s. 67-79) var.xi, 80 s. : res. (bzs. rnk.), tablo ; 29 cm.Amaç: Kronik iskemik kalp hastalarında, perkütan koroner girişim sonrası kısa ve uzun dönem prognozu değerlendirmek amacıyla birçok çalışmada kardiyak biyobelirteç düzeyleri bakılmıştır. Ancak bu çalışmalarda çelişkili sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. High sensitive troponin T (Hs-TnT) ölçümü; konvansiyonel yöntemle saptanamayan daha düşük düzeydeki troponin T miktarı ölçümüne imkan veren yeni ve daha duyarlı bir yöntemdir. Perkütan koroner girişim sonrası riskli grubun belirlenmesi alınacak tedaviler ve sıkı takip açısından önemlidir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada; kararlı anjina nedeniyle başarılı, elektif perkütan koroner girişim uygulanan hastalarda, işlem öncesi ve sonrası bakılan high sensitive troponin T düzeyinin, 1 yıllık takipte olumsuz kardiyovasküler sonlanımlar üzerine olan etkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Çukurova Üniversitesi Balcalı Hastanesi Kardiyoloji Bölümü’ne kararlı anjina ile başvuran ve başarılı elektif perkütan koroner girişim uygulanan 100 hasta (74 erkek, 26 kadın) alındı. İşlem öncesi troponin I düzeyleri yüksek (> 0,1 ng/ml) olan hastalar çalışmaya alınmadı. Hastaların işlem öncesi, işlem sonrası 3-4. ve 12-24. saatlerde Hs-TnT düzeyleri ölçüldü. Hs-TnT için pozitif değer > 14 pg/ml kabul edildi. Hastalar 1 yıl boyunca olumsuz kardiyovasküler olaylar yönünden (ölüm, akut koroner sendrom ve inme) takip edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmada işlem sonrası 3-4. saatte (erken dönem) % 36, 12-24. Saatte (geç dönem) % 54 hastada Hs-TnT düzeyi pozitif değere ulaştı. İşlem sonrası erken dönemde Hs-TnT pozitif olan hastalarda, 1 yılda olumsuz kardiyovasküler olay görülme (MACE) oranının anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (% 36,1’e karşın % 15,6; p=0,026). Bu anlamlı ilişki lojistik regresyon analizinde de devam etti (odds ratio=3,36, % 95 C.I. 1,09-10,33; p=0,034). İşlem sonrası geç dönemde Hs-TnT pozitifliği olan hastalarda ise 1 yılda MACE görülme sıklığının artmış olmasına rağmen bu durumun istatistiksel anlamlılık taşımadığı gözlemlendi (% 27,8’e karşın % 17,4; p=0,243). Ayrıca, 1 yılda MACE görülen hastalarla görülmeyen hastaların işlem öncesi Hs-TnT düzeyleri benzer bulundu (median 3,7 pg/ml’ye karşın 4,1 pg/ml; p=0,485). İşlem sonrası Hs-TnT düzeyleri ise 1 yılda MACE görülen grupta daha yüksek olmasına rağmen bu yükseklik istatistiksel anlamlılık kazanmadı (median, erken dönemde 16,1 pg/ml’ye karşın 10,7 pg/ml, p=0,342; geç dönemde ise 25,7 pg/ml’ye karşın 15,0 pg/ml, p=0,376). Sonuç: Kararlı anjina nedeniyle, başarılı, elektif perkütan koroner girişim uygulanan hastalarda; özellikle işlem sonrası 3-4. saatte bakılan Hs-TnT’nin 1 yıllık olumsuz kardiyovasküler olayları öngörmede etkili olduğu kanısına varıldı. Ancak bu durumun daha geniş kapsamlı çalışmalarla desteklenmesi gerekmektedir.Objectives: The cardiac biomarkers levels were examined in order to predict short and long term prognosis after percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease in several studies. Nevertheless, these studies results were conflicting. High sensitive troponin T (Hs-TnT) measurement is novel and more sensitive method which allows the measurement of troponin T levels that are undetectable by conventional troponin T measurement. Identify of the risk groups after percutaneous coronary intervention is important for frequent follow-up and treatments. Therefore, the aim of the this study was to investigate effects of Hs-TnT levels after successful, elective percutaneous coronary intervention in the patients with stable angina pectoris for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events within one-year. Material and Methods: 100 patients (76 males and 24 females) presented stable angina pectoris where Department of Cardiology in Cukurova University Balcalı Hospital who underwent successful, elective percutaneous coronary intervention were included the study. The patients who are elevated troponin I levels before procedure (> 0,1 ng/ml) were excluded from the study. Hs-TnT levels were measured at before procedure, at 3-4. and 12-24. hours after procedure. For the positive value of Hs-TnT level was considered > 14 pg/ml. The patients followed-up for major adverse cardiovascular events (death, acute coronary syndrome and stroke) along one-year. Results: In the study; Hs-TnT levels were reached the positive value in 36 % of patients at 3-4. hours after procedure (early period); in 54 % of patients at 12-24. Hours after procedure (late period). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) rates within one-year were found to be significantly higher in the patients who are had positive Hs- TnT levels in early period after procedure (36,1 % vs. 15,6 %; p=0,026). This significant relationship continued into the logistic regression analysis (odds ratio=3,36, % 95 C.I. 1,09-10,33; p=0,034). Although incidence of MACE increased in the patients who are had positive Hs-TnT levels in late period after procedure within one-year, there was no statistically significance (27,8 % vs.17,4 %; p=0,243). Additionally, Hs-TnT levels before the procedure were similar in the patients who observed MACE within one-year (median 3,7 pg/ml vs. 4,1 pg/ml; p=0,485). Although Hs-TnT levels after procedure was higher in the patients who observed MACE within one-year; there was no statistically significance (median, early period 16,1 pg/ml vs. 10,7 pg/ml, p=0,342; late period 25,7 pg/ml vs. 15,0 pg/ml, p=0,376). Conclusions: Hs-TnT which are measured at particularly 3-4. hours after successful, elective percutaneous coronary intervention in the patients who have stable angina pectoris may be effective for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events within one-year. However, results of the this study must be supported by more extensive large studiesBu çalışma Ç.Ü. Bilimsel Araştırma Projeleri Birimi tarafından desteklenmiştir. Proje No: TF2012LTP19

Öğrencilerin okula ilişkin görüşleri ve okuldaki yaşantıları: kültürel sermayenin rolü ve örtük program üzerine bir inceleme.

The purpose of this study was to investigate ninth grade students’ perceptions and experiences at school. In accordance with this purpose; a science high school in Ankara, Turkey was selected and a qualitative case study was conducted in which data were collected by two data collection tools which were semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. During the period of data collection that lasted 20 weeks, one initial and one final interview were held with each of 17 participants who were selected through purposeful sampling. Also, during that period school was visited and the selected classroom was observed in a whole school day in every other week (10 observations in total); besides, field notes were taken. After the data were collected, organized and read intensively, content analysis was conducted; the data were coded and some themes emerged. The findings of the study revealed that participants showed differences in their cultural capital. Accordingly, their perceptions and experiences changed. The findings indicated that participants had different experiences in terms of hidden curriculum that they experienced. It was found out that how participants benefited from the social and material opportunities at the school changed in accordance with the hidden curriculum they experienced. It was also concluded that boarder students and extern students’ perceptions of and experiences at school were different. The findings also showed that students studying at science high school perceived their school as an institution providing quality education for exams which did not match with the propounded purposes of this type of schools.  M.S. - Master of Scienc

The prognostic role of intra-aortic pulse pressure measured before percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic coronary syndrome: a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study

Background The relationship between pulse pressure and prognosis in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is contradictory. In the present study, we aimed to examine the relationship between intra-aortic pulse pressure (IAPP) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with CCS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 139 CCS patients who underwent elective PCI with regular one-year follow-up, were stratified into two subgroups according to IAPP. The primary outcomes included the occurrence of MACE, defined as cardiovascular death, acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI), acute myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and stroke. Results The mean age of the patients was 57.6 +/- 10.4 years, 32% of whom were female. The mean IAPP, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were 54.0 +/- 17.6 mmHg, 129.7 +/- 20 mmHg, and 75.8 +/- 11.8 mmHg, respectively. SBP, IAPP, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were significantly higher in the high IAPP group (p < .001, p < .001, p = .001, respectively). The MACE rate was significantly higher in the low IAPP group than in the high IAPP group (30.4% vs. 8.6%, p = 0,001). The LVEF (OR = 0.93, CI:0.88-0.99, p = .025) and IAPP (OR = 0.89, CI:0.83-0.95, p = .001) were found to be independent predictors of MACE. The IAPP value of 39.5 mmHg was identified as an effective cutoff point for prediction of MACE-free survival rates (AUC:0.853, CI:0.768-0.937). Conclusion Invasively measured IAPP has prognostic information about cardiovascular outcomes in patients with CCS. The risk of MACE is significantly greater in CCS patients with low IAPP compared with those who have high IAPP values

Effects Of The Foam Rolling On Range Of Motion, Flexibility And Lower Extremity Explosive Power In Female Basketball Players

Bu çalışmanın amacı, foam roller (FR) uygulamasının kadın basketbolcularda kalça ekleminin hareket genişliği (EHG), esneklikve dikey sıçrama (DS) performansına olan etkilerini araştırmaktır. Son bir yılda sakatlık geçmişi olmayan 20 kadınbasketbolcunun gönüllü katılımıyla gerçekleştirilen çalışmada, katılımcılar, rastgele seçilerek FR uygulama grubu (n10; yaş:19,71,4 yıl; boy: 173,06,5 cm; vücut ağırlığı: 71,010,9 kg) ve statik germe (SG) egzersiz grubu (n10; yaş: 20,32,5 yıl; boy:176,78,1 cm; vücut ağırlığı: 74,612,9 kg) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. İlk günde ve 48 saat dinlenme aralıklı 3 gün FRuygulaması ve SG egzersizlerinin sonunda tüm katılımcıların gonyometre ile kalça EHG, otur-eriş testi ile esneklik parametresive DS testi ile sıçrama mesafesi ve güç parametreleri ölçüldü. Grup içi ön test ve son test değerleri paired sample t-test;gruplar arası ise independent t-test ile değerlendirildi. Ön test ve son test bulgularının grup içi istatistiksel analizinde; FRuygulamasının, EHG ve esneklik parametresinde anlamlı farka neden olduğu tespit edildi (p0,05). Gruplar arasıkarşılaştırmalarda ise istatistiksel bakımdan bir fark bulunamadı (p0,05). Kadın basketbolcularda FR uygulamasının, EHG veesneklik sonuçlarında artış sağlayarak olumlu yönde etkisi olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Antrenman ve müsabaka öncesi ısınmaperiyotlarında gerçekleştirilen germe egzersizlerine ek olarak FR uygulamasına da yer verilmesinin yararlı olabileceğidüşünülmektedir.The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of foam rolling (FR) on hip range of motion (ROM), flexibility and verticaljump (VJ) performance in female basketball players. In the study which was conducted with the voluntary participation of atotal , the participants were randomly divided into two as the FR (n10; age: 19.71.4 year; height: 173.06.5 cm; mass:71.010.9 kg) and the static stretching (SS) exercise groups (n10; age: 20.32.5 year; height: 176.78.1 cm; mass: 74.012.9kg). The participants are a total of 20 female basketball players who had no injury in the last year. The measurements werecarried out in the first day and at the end of the three days after FR and SS exercise sessions including 48-hour rest periods.Goniometer was used for hip ROM, sit and reach test was used for flexibility and, lastly VJ test was used for jump height andpower output, respectively. The paired sample t-test was used in the analysis of groups' pre-test and post-test outputs,whereas independent t-test was used in comparison between groups. Pre-test and post-test intragroup statistical analysisresults showed that FR caused a significant difference in ROM and flexibility parameters (p0,05). However, no statisticaldifference was found in comparisons between groups (p0,05). It was observed that using FR with female basketball playershad a positive acute effect by increasing ROM and flexibility results. It is thought that foam rolling can be beneficial in additionto stretching sessions in warm-up periods before the trainings and competitions
