An Assessment of Risk Communication from the Perspective of Disaster Management in the Pandemic Period: Content Analysis of Social Media Shares

Risk yönetimi, risk iletişiminde önemli role sahiptir. Günümüzde sosyal medyanın da etkisiyle birlikte kitle iletişim araçlarının etkin kullanımına ihtiyaç vardır. Bu açıdan hızlı şekilde topluma ulaşım sağlayan ve kolay yönetilebilir iletişim araçlarının başında sosyal medya gelmektedir. Zamanında, eyleme geçirilebilir ve güvenilir bilgi kanalları, özellikle yüksek korku ve belirsizlik içeren durumlarda hayati öneme sahiptir. Acil durumlarda bilgi akışı ve yüksek şeffaflığın tesis edilebilmesi için iletişime açık ve esnek bir yaklaşım gereklidir. Araştırmanın amacı, günümüz koşullarında yaşadığımız salgın ve ardından aynı dönemde meydana gelen deprem afetleri kapsamında AFAD’ın risk yönetimi açısından iletişim stratejisini nasıl ele aldığının sosyal medya hesapları üzerinden incelenmesidir. Çalışma, Twitter’da zaman dilimi olarak 11 Mart 2020-31 Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasında AFAD tarafından paylaşılan tweetlerden oluşmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Kurumun mesaj içerikleri risk iletişim sürecinde bilgilendirme, önleyici mesaj, acil durum ve iyileştirme şeklinde gruplandırılmıştır. İncelenen tweetler; deprem, meteoroloji, kaza-zehirlenme-yangın-patlama, Covid-19, yardım faaliyetleri, yapılan etkinlikler, uluslararası tanınırlık çalışmaları, anma-özel gün-bayram mesajları şeklinde sınıflandırılmışlardır. Bu kapsamda AFAD’ın konu içeriklerine göre kullandığı risk iletişim teknikleri incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak AFAD’ın risk iletişimi bağlamında sosyal medya araçlarını eş zamanlı olarak etkin kullanmasının kriz süreçlerinde toplumun yaşamış olduğu kaygı ve belirsizliğin giderilmesinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu söylenebilir.Risk management has an important role in risk communication. Nowadays, there is a need for effective use of mass media with the effect of social media. In this respect, social media is one of the most easily manageable communication tools that provide rapid access to society. Timely, actionable and reliable channels of information are vital, especially in situations of high fear and uncertainty. An open and flexible approach to communication is required in order to establish information flow and high transparency in emergency situations. The aim of the research is to examine how AFAD handles its communication strategy in terms of risk management through social media accounts within the scope of the epidemic we live in today’s conditions and the earthquake disasters that occurred in the same period. The study consists of tweets shared by AFAD between March 11, 2020 and December 31, 2020 on Twitter. The obtained data were analyzed by content analysis method. The message contents of the institution are grouped as information in the risk communication process, preventive message, emergency and improvement. The examined tweets; earthquake, meteorology, accident-poisoning-fire-explosion, Covid-19, aid activities, activities, international recognition studies, memorial-special day-holiday messages. In this context, risk communication techniques AFAD uses according to the subject contents have been examined. As a result, it can be said that AFAD's effective use of social media tools simultaneously in the context of risk communication has an important effect on eliminating the anxiety and uncertainty experienced by the society during crisis processes

AN ACUTE RENAL FAİLURE CASE DUE TO OVERDOSE USE OF PERINDOPRIL /AMLODIPIN

Sabit doz kombinasyon preperatları hipertansiyon tedavisinde önemli alternatiflerdendir. Bu preperatlardan intihar amaçlı yüksek doz alan hastalarda yaklaşım hala net değildir. Bu olgu sunumunda, perindopril 5 mg ve amlodipin 10 mg kombinasyon tedavisinden 26 adet intihar amacı ile alan 51 yaşında erkek tartışılmıştır. Hasta acil servise, baş dönmesi ve halsizlik ile başvurmuş ve ilk müdahelesi yapılıp dahili yoğun bakımda takibe alınmıştır.

Allogeneic Transplantation in First Remission Improves Outcomes Irrespective of FLT3-ITD Allelic Ratio in FLT3-ITD-Positive Acute Myelogenous Leukemia.

The adverse prognosis of internal tandem duplication in the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene(s) (FLT3-ITD) in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) may depend on allelic burden. We compared postremission treatment with chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in 169 FLT3-ITDmut intermediate cytogenetic risk AML patients with allelic ratio evaluable at diagnosis who achieved first complete remission (CR1) with induction therapy. To minimize selection bias, the analysis was limited to patients who remained in CR1 for at least 4 months (median time to HSCT) after achieving CR1, and propensity score matching was implemented. Sensitivity analysis including patients who remained in CR1 for at least 3 months was applied as well. HSCT in CR1 was associated with longer relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), with 3-year estimated rates of 18% and 24%, respectively (P < .001), for patients receiving chemotherapy and 46% and 54%, respectively (P < .001), for those undergoing HSCT. Multivariate regression models showed that HSCT remained statistically significant with improved RFS and OS independent of FLT3-ITD allelic ratio and NPM1 status. Irrespective of postremission therapy, relapse remains the main reason for treatment failure, with a 3-year incidence of 68% in chemotherapy recipients versus 41% in HSCT recipients. Allogeneic HSCT improved disease outcomes compared with chemotherapy after propensity score matching was applied. The improvement observed for RFS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.55; P = .09) and OS (HR, 0.58; P = .10) with HSCT as postremission therapy in patients who remained in CR1 for at least 4 months did not reach statistical significance; however, the sensitivity analyses including patients who remained in CR1 for at least 3 months showed significant improvement in both RFS (HR, 0.31; P = .002) and OS (HR, 0.27; P = .02) after propensity score matching. Our results indicate that HSCT in CR1 for AML FLT3-ITDmut patients is associated with longer RFS and OS. Innovative transplantation strategies to improve relapse incidence are urgently needed

Age and Modified European LeukemiaNet Classification to Predict Transplant Outcomes: An Integrated Approach for Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation.

We evaluated the prognostic significance of a modified European LeukemiaNet (ELN) classification for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) while in first complete remission (CR1). We analyzed 464 AML patients with matched related (n = 211, 45.5%), matched unrelated (n = 176, 37.9%), and mismatched donors (n = 77, 16.6%). Patients were classified into 4 modified ELN risk groups (favorable, intermediate-I, intermediate-II, and adverse) separately for 354 patients age < 60 years and 110 patients age ≥ 60 years. In this modified version of ELN classification, patients with normal cytogenetic were classified by FLT3-ITD mutational status: favorable risk if FLT3-ITDwild and intermediate-I if FLT3-ITDmut. The best outcomes occurred in the ELN favorable and intermediate-II groups in younger AML patients and in the favorable and intermediate-I groups in older AML patients. Older AML patients had worse transplant outcomes within each modified ELN risk group except intermediate-I when compared with younger patients; leukemia-free survival at 3 years was 67.8% versus 49.8% in favorable, 53.4% versus 50.7% in intermediate-I, 65.7% versus 20.2% in intermediate-II, and 44.6% versus 23.8% in adverse group younger and older patients, respectively. Among lesion-specific abnormalities, del5q/-5 and abnl(17p) had the worse transplant outcomes, with 3-year leukemia-free survival rates of 18.4% and 20% in younger CR1 patients. In conclusion, the modified ELN prognostic classification developed for chemotherapy outcomes also identifies prognostic groups for HSCT, which is useful for a selection of patients for post-transplant strategies to improve outcomes
