Serebral palsili çocukların tedavisinde Aile odaklı yaklaşım

Engelli çocukların yaşantısında ailenin önemli bir rolü olduğu gittikçe önem kazanan bir görüştür. Aile odaklı bakım, özel ihtiyaçları olan çocukların bakım sürecini kolaylaştırmak ve ailelerine yardımcı olmak için geliştirilmiştir. Aile odaklı bakım çocuk sağlığı alanında yaygın olarak kullanılmakta olup sonrasında pediatrik rehabilitasyon alanında da uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. Aile odaklı bakım anlayışının kabulü ve motor gelişim konusunda yeni teorilerin ortaya çıkması, serebral palsili çocuklara tedavi yaklaşımını etkilemiş, yapılan uygulamalar çocuk yerine daha çok aile ve fonksiyon merkezli hale gelmiştir. Bu derlemenin amacı serebral palside uygulanan tedavi yaklaşımlarının teorik zeminlerini, bir kavramsal yapı olarak aile odaklı bakım anlayışını ve serebral palsili çocukların tedavisinde kullanılan terapi yaklaşımlarına etkilerini anlamak için genel bir bakış sağlamaktır.

Family-centered care was developed to facilitate the process of care of children with special needs and their families. Since then, it has been widely used in child health and afterward implemented to the pediatric rehabilitation. The acceptance of family-centered care and the emergence of new theories on motor development have influenced the management of children with cerebral palsy. The interventions have become more family- and function-focused, rather than child-focused. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the theoretical background of the approaches to cerebral palsy, family-centered care as a conceptual framework and its implications for therapy approaches that are used in the management of children with cerebral palsy.

Investigation of the diabetic patients’ knowledge on diabetes and the role of clinical pharmacist in providing pharmaceutical care to them

Type 2 Diabetes is a common incurable metabolic disorder with worldwide increasing prevalence. International Diabetic Association noticed that there is a very fast and alarming increase in the worldwide prevalence of Diabetes. In 2012, diabetic popu-lation around the world has reached 371 million people. Untreated or undertreated Type 2 Diabetes does affect the quality of life of the patients both directly by symp-toms and indirectly by short term and long-term complications. In addition to the direct effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus, affects the patient’s life in a bad way, if the treatment process is not followed carefully, the quality of life of the patient will be re-duced. At this point, clinical pharmacist has an extremely important role in determin-ing and executing the correct clinical treatment. Besides that, the importance of the patient’s level of knowledge about the disease and its impact on the treatment process is very important. The major goal of this thesis is evaluating the diabetic patients` knowledge on diabetes and the effect of this point on treatment process. This study has been done in Merve Pharmacy of Muğla/Turkey between January and March of 2018. A questionnaire consisting of 20 multiple choice questions has been used to evaluate 50 participants who are clinically diagnosed diabetics. SPSS 23.0 statistical program was used for the statistical analysis of the data and the findings were evaluated at and 5% significance level. It has been statistically observed that knowledge levels of patients affected the treatment process. Recognizing the importance of this factor by clinical pharmacists and other health professionals will increase the training for diabetes and prevent the problems arising from the patient’s low-level knowledge

Non-Newtonian laminar pulsating heat and fluid flow in plane duct

In the present study, laminar pulsating power-law momentum and heat transfer in a uniformly heated plane duct is studied analytically. Assuming that fully developed conditions exist both hydrodynamically and thermally, a perturbation series method is utilized to derive analytical solutions for the momentum and energy balance equations, and the amplitude is prescribed as the perturbation parameter. For varying values of the power-law index ((Formula presented.)), representing pseudoplastic, Newtonian, and dilatant fluids, effects of dimensionless amplitude ((Formula presented.)) and frequency ((Formula presented.)) on periodic and period-averaged friction factor and Nusselt number are obtained. The results obtained for Newtonian fluid are shown to be in good harmony with the corresponding findings in the open literature

Investigation of appropriate grafting method and plant applications to increase grafting success in cucumber

In grafted seedling production, in addition to the compatibility and performance of the rootstock, the correct selection of the grafting method and the treatments to the rootstocks nd scion are effective on the success of the graft. A three-stage trial was conducted to determine the appropriate grafting method, the effect of root cutting, and some treatments on grafting success in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). In Experiment I, it was aimed to determine the most appropriate grafting technique for cucumber by using single cotyledon, hole insertion, and tube grafting techniques. The effect of rooted and rootless grafting on grafting success and seedling growth in Experiment II was determined by using the most appropriate grafting technique determined in Experiment I. In experiment III, the effect of sucrose, IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) and antitranspirant applications on rootstocks on the success of grafting was determined. The graft success rate of the grafted plants was evaluated 14 days after grafting. While the most appropriate grafting technique was the single cotyledon grafting method with a success rate of 76%, the grafting success rate was 67.8% and 55.6% in hole insertion and tube grafting methods, respectively. The effect of grafting with rooted or rootless rootstock on grafting success was found to be insignificant. The highest stem fresh and dry weight were recorded in rooted grafting with 28.00 and 2.30 g/plant, respectively. The highest root fresh and dry weights were found in rooted grafting with 19.30 and 1.93 g/plant, respectively. In Experiment III, the highest grafting success was obtained from sucrose+antitranspirant (98.82%) and sucrose+antitranspirant+IBA (97.65%) applications, respectively. The lowest grafting success was determined in antitranspirant (74.86%) and control (78.24%) applications. According to the results te highest grafting success was achieved by using rooted rootstocks and single cotyledon grafting method. In addition, the combined application of sucrose and antitranspirant and the triple combination of sucrose, antitranspirant, and IBA to rootstocks before grafting is recommended because they increase the success of grafting in cucumber.</p

The Effect of Prenatal Invasive Tests on Neonatal Birthweight

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of prenatal invasive procedures on neonatal birth weight. STUDY DESIGN: The present study consists of three group of pregnancies; 1) Amniocentesis group (n=97), 2) Chorionic Villus Sampling group (n=36), 3) Control group (matched patients without any intrauterine intervention, n=100). “Hacettepe University Perinatology Datae Base” is used in this study (January 2013-January 2014 interval is used for the extraction of datae). Singleton pregnancies without maternal complications (which may affect fetal birthweight) were included to this study. Exclusion criteria also includes cases with perinatal complications and fetuses with congenital abnormalities, cytogenetical problems and gene disorders. Consent forms were signed by patients prior to prenatal diagnosis and intrauterine interventions. RESULTS: Matched patient groups were compared in terms of maternal age, gestational week and neonatal birth weight. We have demonstrated that “control” group and “chorionic villus sampling” group babies are statistically significantly heavier than “amniocentesis” group babies (p=0.01). The mean (±SD) birthweight values are 3009 ±428 gr, 3178±409 gr and 3283±358 gr for the “amniocentesis” group, “chorionic villus sampling” group and “control” group respectively. Decreased birthweight values in “chorionic villus sampling” group is not statistically significant. (p=0.74 ). CONCLUSION: In this study, we have demonstrated that amniocentesis possibly influences the birthweight values. Decreased birthweight values may be due to the direct affect of amniocentesis itself through the depression and/or activation of various cytokines or growth factors, or the result of obstetrical problems behind the amniocentesis indications
