OBEZ BİREYLERDE DİYABETİN GECE YEME SENDROMU İLE İLİŞKİSİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ: Obez bireylerde diyabetin gece yeme sendromu ile ilişkisi.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between diabetes and night eating syndrome in obese individuals. Material and method: This cross sectional study was conducted  with 113 (94 female, 19 male) obese  individuals between 01.10.2018 and 31.10.2018. Measurements of body weight and height of individuals were made according to the anthropometric measurement technique. Socio-demographic data form was applied by face-to-face survey method. The diagnostic criteria for nighttime eating disorder, which has been validated in Turkish, were used in the evaluation of night eating syndrome. Results: It was seen that the mean for nighttime eating disorder scale of the group with diabetes was 24,68±8,60 and the mean for nighttime eating disorder scale score of the non-diabetic group was 24,25±10,46 (p=0,112). On the other hand according to body weight there was a significant difference between two group according to presence of night eating syndrome (p=0,112). Conclusion: It was found that the presence of night eating syndrome do not differ according to diabetes, but body weight.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between diabetes and night eating syndrome in obese individuals.

Türk, T. İstenmeyen gebelik öyküsü durumuna göre kadınların aile planlaması yöntem tercihlerinin incelenmesi: Kadınların aile planlaması tercihleri

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine differences between the family planning method choices of women with a history of unwanted pregnancy .Material and method:This descriptive study was conducted with 300 women applied to Gynecology and Family Planning polyclinics of Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital. The working group was divided into two groups within itself according to the unwanted pregnancy history. Both groups were evaluated in terms of factors that may directly or indirectly affect unwanted pregnancies.Results: Three hundred women participated in the study. The rate of unwanted pregnancy was 50.0% (n=150). The median of unwanted pregnancies was 4 (min:0-max: 6). Unwanted pregnancy rate is significantly higher in the 36- 45 age group (p=0.030). When the distribution of the casesregarding the family planning method used is examined, the most preferred methods in both groups are respectively; with drawal, intauterin device and condom. When the two groups were compared, non significant difference was observed (p>0.05).Conclusion: In conclusion, it was seen that there was nosignificant difference in terms of the methods used by the women in the two groups. For this reason, it is necessary to provide education and consultancy services to reproductive health and family planning women at every step they receive health care services.Objective: The aim of this study is to determine differences between the family planning method choices of women with a history of unwanted pregnancy .Material and method:This descriptive study was conducted with 300 women applied to Gynecology and Family Planning polyclinics of Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital.

Is Ki-67 Index an Useful Labeling Marker for Invasion of Pituitary Adenomas?

The Ki-67 antigen is a protein expressed in cell nuclei throughout the entire cell cycle. It is related to the cell proliferation in a variety of pituitary tumors. Pituitary tumors are usually benign, but may be aggressive and invade surrounding tissues in about one third of the cases. The aim of this study is to determine the proliferative index of the pituitary adenomas, using MIB-1 monoclonal antibody in paraffin embedded sections and also to correlate this index with clinical parameters and radiological evidence of invasiveness. Twenty-eight patients (mean age, 46.46 +/- 13.14; range, 13-80 yr) who underwent surgery for pituitary adenomas were enrolled in this study. Immunohistochemical staining for anti-Ki-67 monoclonal antibody (MIB-1) was performed and the proliferative activity was determined as the percentage of MIB-1 labeled nuclei (MIB-1 index). The overall mean Ki-67 labeling index was 2.04 +/- 1.17 (range 1-5). This index was not associated with gender and age of the patients and functional status of pituitary adenomas. Although Ki-67 index was higher in suprasellar adenomas than in sellar adenomas, the difference was not statistically significant (2.20 +/- 1.15 for suprasellar adenomas vs. 1.85 +/- 1.21 for sellar adenomas; p=0.316). Ki-67 index was distributed almost the same amount between the groups of adenomas with (2 +/- 1.51) or without cavernous sinus invasion (2.05 +/- 1.03) (p=0.498). Unexpectedly, no significant relationship was identified between proliferation index and the invasiveness of pituitary adenomas in this study, but this raises the question whether proliferation markers in pituitary adenomas are useful or not
