INTRODUCTION: This study aims to analyses the bibliometric analysis of digitalization trends in health after the pandemic. Bibliometric analyses can help us understand global digitalization trends and guide future work. These analyses can provide guidance for researchers and healthcare professionals and can be used to drive faster and more effective change in the digitalization of the healthcare industry. METHODS: In this bibliometric study, research on digitalization in health carried out globally between the years 2020-2023 was examined. As a result of the searches using the keyword "digitalization in health' and 'Covid-19", 1670 studies were found and 400 articles were used by eliminating the unsuitable and non-article studies. The articles in the database were analyzed using information such as titles, author names, publication year, journal name and the number of citations. Web of Science and Scopus databases was used for systematic data collection and all text data of the publications included in the study were evaluated with 'VOSviewer software'. These analyses were performed using text mining and data visualization methods (bubble maps and other graphical) to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the study. RESULTS: In this article, information is given about 400 articles taken from the databases and 1847 citations to these articles. The average number of citations per article was calculated as 5 and the H index as 22. As of 2021, both the number of articles and the number of citations have increased. Most of the articles (55%) are devoted to health and economics. Germany is the country that publishes the highest number of articles (17.3%) on this subject. Most of the articles (58%) were published by publishers such as MDPI, Springer Nature, Elsevier, Sage and Wiley. Most of the articles (47%) are in the SCI-Expanded category. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The findings of our study show that many researchers are active in the field of digitalization in health and that the research in this field is increasing. This bibliometric analysis reveals global trends and key studies in healthcare digitalization and provides important insights into the future directions of research in this area.

Investigation of The Relationship Between Carboxyhemoglobin Level and End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide In Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

© 2022, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning makes up an important part of deaths due to poisoning in the world. It may be hard to diagnose CO poisoning if it is not suspected because the clinical features are non-specific. We wanted to investigate the effects of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) measurement in expirium on the diagnosis and follow-up of CO poisoning. After the patients were diagnosed as having CO poisoning by taking arterial blood gas from pat ients who were suspected of having CO poisoning, ETCO₂ was measured using the sidestream method. The data were analyzed using the SPSS (IBM SPSS for Windows, ver.23) statistical package program. One hundred fourty six146 patients, 106 with CO poisoning and 40 control cases, were included in the study. After the demographic data were evaluated, the relationship between ETCO2 and carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) was analyzed. No statistically significant difference was found. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to look for a relationship between ETCO2 and COHb. More studies are required to investigate the relationship between ETCO2 and COHb. The study was conducted in a single centre with a few patients. Only the sidestream method was used in the measurement of ETCO2. The parameters affecting respiratory physiology could not be excluded completely

EFFECT OF EXPOSURE TO FLUORINE AND 7, 12-DIMETHYL BENZANTHRACENE ON VASCULAR RESPONSES

In this study, the effect of experimental administration of fluorine and DMBA, alone or in combination, on rats on vascular responses was investigated. After adaptation, the rats were randomly selected and divided into 9 groups, 10 male rats in each group. While sodium fluoride was applied daily in drinking water for 12 weeks to the groups to which fluoride will be applied; on the other hand, DMBA was dissolved in sesame oil and applied to the groups that needed it, once a week for a total of 12 weeks. The groups were determined as C, SO, 1NaF, 15NaF, 30NaF, DMBA, 1NaF+DMBA, 15NaF+DMBA and 30NaF+DMBA. Tensions in the thoracic aorta were provided with phenylephrine. Then, relaxation responses were recorded by giving ACh ((10-8'-7'-6'-5)) and SNP ((10-,-9,-8,-7,)(-6)(,)(-5)) at different cumulative concentrations. In the study, it was determined that fluorine caused the vessels to contract and DMBA to relax. Concurrent exposure to high amounts of fluorine and DMBA was observed to cause vasoconstriction

HEALTH SERVICES VOCATIONAL SCHOOL STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE LEVELS OF ON PARASITIC DISEASES

In this study, it has been aimed to determine the knowledge level of the students of Van Yuzuncu Yıl University Health Services Vocational School, who will serve as the health personnel of the future, about parasitic diseases, prevention and control measures from these diseases. A total of 587 students, comprising 418 (71.2%) females and 169 (28.8%) males, studying at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Health Services Vocational School, were included in the study. The questions in the questionnaire were arranged in three groups, as those about parasitic diseases, transmission routes of these diseases, and prevention and treatment. Cronbach alpha coefficients were calculated within the scope of the reliability analysis of the questionnaire questions. The Cronbach alpha values for the domains of Knowledge Level About Parasitic Diseases, Knowledge Level About the Transmission of Parasitic Diseases, and Knowledge Level About the Prevention and Treatment of Parasitic Diseases were determined as 0.647 (64.7%), 0.707 (70.7%), and 0.566 (56.6%), respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between the departments included in the study in terms of the level of knowledge about parasitic diseases (P < 0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the departments in the evaluation made between the level of knowledge about the prevention and treatment of parasitic diseases and the personal characteristics of the students (P < 0.05). As the result, it was observed that the students participating in the study did not have sufficient knowledge about parasitic diseases
