The effect of endometriosis on anxiety and quality of life in women

Bu araştırma, kadınlarda endometriozisin anksiyete ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı tipte yapılan bu araştırmanın evrenini, 04 Aralık 2019-30 Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında Acıbadem Kayseri Hastanesi Tüp Bebek ve Üreme Sağlığı Merkezi ve Kadın Hastalıkları Polikliniği'ne muayene olmak amacıyla başvuran 15-49 yaş arasındaki tüm kadınlar oluşturmuştur. Evreni belli olan örneklem genişliği formülüne göre çalışmaya alınacak örneklem sayısı belirlenmiş ve araştırmaya dâhil edilme ölçütlerine uyan 420 kadınla çalışma tamamlanmıştır.Araştırmanın verileri, "Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu", "SF 36 Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği" ve "Durumluk Kaygı Envanteri" kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden, ikili karşılaştırmalarda Mann Whitney U ve bağımsız gruplarda t testlerinden faydalanılmıştır. Endometriozisli kadınların SF 36 yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin alt boyutlarından vedurumluk kaygı envanterinin genel toplamından aldıkları puanlar arasındaki ilişki Pearson korelasyon analiziyle incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan her 10 kadından yaklaşık olarak birinin endometriozis tanısı aldığı belirlenmiştir. Endometriozis rahatsızlığına bağlı olarak kadınların %70.6'sı tedavi almış ve %39.2'si çeşitli semptomları deneyimlemektedir. Kadınların SF 36 yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin rol güçlüğü (fiziksel) ve ağrı alt boyutlarından aldıkları puan ortancaları ve endometriozis varlığı arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p0.05). SF 36 yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin rol güçlüğü (fiziksel), canlılık, ruhsal sağlık, ağrı ve genel sağlık algısı alt boyutlarından alınan puanlar ile endometriozisli kadınlarda semptom sayısı arasında negatif yönde ve zayıf düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlenmiştir (p0.05). A weak statistically significant negative relationship was found between the scores from the role physical, vitality, mental health, bodily pain, and general health subdimensions of the SF-36 quality of life scale and the number of symptoms in the women with endometriosis (p<0.05, p<0.01). A moderate statistically significant negative relationship was found between the scores from the physical and social functioning subdimensions of the SF-36 quality of life scale and the number of symptoms (p<0.01). There was a weak statistically significant negative relationship between the scores from the physical functioning subdimension of the SF-36 quality of life scale and the time of symptom onset in the women with endometriosis (p<0.05). The study findings indicated that endometriosis does not affect the anxiety level in the women but has negative effects on some subdimensions of the quality of life scale. Increased duration of endometriosis findings resulted in decreased physical functioning in the women. An increased number of symptoms also had a negative effect on many subdimensions of the quality of life. These results indicate that early detection of endometriosis and treating or alleviating the symptoms could be effective on the women's quality of life. We therefore believe that evaluating women for endometriosis symptoms when they come for a gynecology examination and increasing their awareness regarding endometriosis diagnosis and treatment will make a positive contribution to their quality of life. We also recommend conducting future experimental and randomized controlled studies to evaluate the effect of interventions aimed at increasing the quality of life of women with endometriosis

Clinical tissue engineering approach and biotechnological advances to improve athlete healthcare

Sports activities have continued for centuries and have become essential to daily life. Professional athletes participating in various sports competitions have many advantages, such as a promising career and high income. On the other hand, being a professional athlete also has some disadvantages. The most dramatic one is the risk of injury. Even though injuries are a part of sports, they have become a significant problem today due to the long recovery period which in turn overshadows sports competitions. In addition, the performance loss is an extra handicap for the athletes compared to the pre-injury levels. In this case, biomedical and biotechnological sciences are a glimmer of hope for shortening the treatment process and minimizing performance loss in returning to professional sports life. Combinations of scaffolds, biological factors, and cells are utilized based on mentioned approaches to treat such injuries, which are frequently seen nowadays and have become the nightmare of professional athletes. This review discusses various regenerative medicine and biotechnology-based therapeutic methods used in the treatment of spinal cord, cartilage, tendon, and musculoskeletal injuries in athletes. Additionally, wearable technologies, which are used to evaluate physiological signals, monitor health, prevent possible injuries, and create personalized training programs are mentioned, as well

Clinical and molecular evaluation of MEFV gene variants in the Turkish population: a study by the National Genetics Consortium

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a monogenic autoinflammatory disorder with recurrent fever, abdominal pain, serositis, articular manifestations, erysipelas-like erythema, and renal complications as its main features. Caused by the mutations in the MEditerranean FeVer (MEFV) gene, it mainly affects people of Mediterranean descent with a higher incidence in the Turkish, Jewish, Arabic, and Armenian populations. As our understanding of FMF improves, it becomes clearer that we are facing with a more complex picture of FMF with respect to its pathogenesis, penetrance, variant type (gain-of-function vs. loss-of-function), and inheritance. In this study, MEFV gene analysis results and clinical findings of 27,504 patients from 35 universities and institutions in Turkey and Northern Cyprus are combined in an effort to provide a better insight into the genotype-phenotype correlation and how a specific variant contributes to certain clinical findings in FMF patients. Our results may help better understand this complex disease and how the genotype may sometimes contribute to phenotype. Unlike many studies in the literature, our study investigated a broader symptomatic spectrum and the relationship between the genotype and phenotype data. In this sense, we aimed to guide all clinicians and academicians who work in this field to better establish a comprehensive data set for the patients. One of the biggest messages of our study is that lack of uniformity in some clinical and demographic data of participants may become an obstacle in approaching FMF patients and understanding this complex disease
