Societies Need New Perspectives on Race and Ethnicity: Societies in Harmony (Religious Context)

After many centuries, humankinds have reached today’s time by passing the centuries’ gatherings to their offspring. The civilizations which were established in the different part of the world have had their own culture according to their needs, religions, daily routines etc. One more step from here to cultural and traditional attitudes which were risen and had been started to show them on individual’s behaviors and ideas. During these periods, the individuals specifically have learned and understood life from their societies. So, individuals’ behaviors and attitudes are shaped according to societies what cultural arguments they have. The perception and understanding of arguments can be different in those many centuries but there have -always- been race and ethnicity. The interpreting of the terms specifically has shown itself weakly or strongly from the deep sight of the history till now. This article has a general glance at race and ethnicity for seeking and finding the middle path in the societies. It is important to study on race and ethnicity and to build a new understanding and perspective for humans and how to bring positive ideas for societies and nations

Coronary artery disease mimicking Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy: a case report

Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a syndrome mostly observed in post-menopausal women, which mimics myocardial infarction with an ST elevation; and coronary angiography shows apical ballooning but a normal left anterior descending. Although coronary artery disease is considered as an exclusion criterion, for differential diagnosis of this type of cardiomyopathy, Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy cases accompanied by coronary artery disease were also reported. In this report, we are presenting a patient who exhibits different findings than a classical Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy case because of her young age, coexisting atherosclerotic lesion, smaller diameter of the apical systolic ballooning and absence of an increase in cardiac enzymes

The effect of topical intranasal H89 and dimethylsulfoxide on AQP5 levels and histopathological findings in an experimental allergic rhinitis rat model

Aim: To investigate the protective effects of protein kinase A inhibitor H89 and its solvent, DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), on the nasal mucosa of rats in an allergic rhinitis model. Method: In total, 32 adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups, with eight rats in each group. Ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization was used to induce allergic rhinitis. DMSO, a solvent of H89, was administered through a topical intranasal spray to the sham group. No treatment was involved in the allergic rhinitis group. H89 was administered through a topical intranasal spray to the H89 group. After the experiment, rat nasal tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and AQP5 (Aquaporin 5) antibodies. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluations were performed under a light microscope. Results: Vascular congestion, eosinophil infiltration, cilia loss, goblet cell proliferation, and degeneration in the mucosal glands were statistically significantly lower in the H89 group compared to the allergic rhinitis group. There was no statistical difference in the increase of connective tissue, vascular proliferation, or inflammatory cell infiltration. We posit that the histological improvements in the H89 group are due to the DMSO distribution of AQP5 was statistically significantly reduced in the H89 group compared to the allergic rhinitis group. Conclusion: H89 reduces the level of AQP5 but does not lessen allergic manifestations in the mucosa. DMSO, which we used as a solvent, did not affect the AQP5 level but reduced nasal inflammation

Klinička procjena intranazalne primjene midazolama i reverzibilnih učinaka flumazenila u euroazijskog škanjca običnog (Buteo buteo)

Midazolam, the most commonly used drug in birds, has sedative, muscle relaxant, anxiolytic, amnestic, and appetite-enhancing effects. In this study, we aimed to reach the proper sedation level with intranasal (IN) administration of midazolam, and quick and safe recovery with intranasal flumazenil application after a certain period of time. The buzzards in the experiment reached the desired and controllable sedation at 6.7 ± 1.6 min after administration of IN midazolam at a dose of 2 mg / kg of body weight. In the saline group (%0.9 NaCl), the doses of midazolam and flumazenil calculated according to their weight were administered intranasally as 0.9% NaCl. The heart rate was 290.4 ± 17.81 and 294.8 ± 18.19 beats/min in the midazolam group, and 300.8 ± 17.76 beats/min in the saline group. Cloacal temperature was 41.42 ± 07, 41.39 ± 0.85 °C in the midazolam group and 41.6 ± 0.45 °C in the saline group. The respiratory rate was 48.8 ± 4.5, 47.1 ± 4.3 breaths/min in the midazolam group and 54.6 ± 2.7 breaths/min in the saline group. Flumazenil was used as an antagonist at 0.05 mg/kg intranasally, and after 14.1 ± 1.8 minutes the sedation effect disappeared. Then the buzzards returned to their standard behavior. In conclusion, we suggest IN use of midazolam and use of flumazenil for faster recovery in buzzards as a simple, fast, practical, and economical mode of sedation for minimally invasive procedures.Midazolam, koji se najčešće upotrebljava u ptica, ima sedativni učinak, miorelaksans je, anksio-litik, amnestik te poboljšava apetit. U ovom se istraživanju nastojala postići odgovarajuća sedacija intranazalnom primjenom (IN) midazolama te brz i siguran oporavak primjenom intranazalnog flumazenila poslije određenog vremena. U škanjaca je postignuta željena sedacija 6,7 ± 1,6 minuta poslije intranazalne primjene midazolama u dozi od 2 mg/kg tjelesne mase. U skupini kojoj je da-vana fiziološka otopina (0,9%-tni NaCl), doze midazolama i flumazenila izračunate su prema tjelesnoj masi jedinki i primijenjene intranazalno kao 0,9%-tni NaCl. Srčani su otkucaji bili 290,4 ± 17,81 i 294,8 ± 18,19 u minuti u skupini s midazolamom i 300,8 ± 17,76 otkucaja u minuti u skupini s fiziološkom otopinom. Temperatura kloake bila je 41,42 ± 0,7, 41,39 ± 0,85 °C u skupini s midazolamom i 41,6 ± 0,45 °C u skupini s fiziološkom otopinom. Brzina disanja bila je 48,8 ± 4,5, 47,1 ± 4,3 udaha u minuti u skupini s midazolamom i 54,6 ± 2,7 u skupini koja je dobivala fiziološku otopinu. Flumazenil je primijenjen kao antagonist u dozi od 0,05 mg/kg intranazalno, a poslije 14,1 ± 1,8 minuta sedativni je učinak nestao. Nakon toga škanjci su se uobičajeno ponašali. Zaključeno je da se intranazalna primjena midazolama i flumazenila za brz oporavak može pre-poručiti u škanjaca kao jednostavan, brz, praktičan i ekonomičan postupak sedacije u minimalnoinvazivnim zahvatima

Bilateral ovaryan kapiller hemanjiom

Hemanjiomlar kadın genital traktusunun benign ve nadir tümörleri olup çoğu asemptomatiktir. Elli iki yaşındaki kadın hasta, uterusundaki 7 cm çapındaki intramural leiyomyom ile post menapozal kanamadan dolayı hastanemize başvurdu. Laboratuvarımıza gönderilen total abdominal histerektomi ve bilateral salpingo-ooferektomi materyaline bilateral ovaryan kapiller hemanjiom tanısı kondu. Primer bilateral ovaryan kapiller hemanjiom çok nadir görülmesinden dolayı bu olguyu sunmayı uygun bulduk.Hemangiomas are benign and rare tumors of female genital tract and most of them are asymptomatic. A 52-year-old woman applied to our hospital due to postmenopausal bleeding with 7 cm diameter intramural leiomyoma of the uterus. Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo -oophorectomy material was sent to our laboratory and it was diagnosed as bilateral ovarian capillary hemangioma. Herein we reported this case because of the extremely rare incidence of primary bilateral ovarian capillary hemangiomas

Senkronize bilateral üst üriner sistem ürotelyal karsinomu olgu sunumu]

Synchronous bilateral upper urinary tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) is a very rare form of urothelial cancer. In patients with high-risk unilateral UTUC, radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) is the gold standard treatment. However, there is no consensus on the treatment for synchronous bilateral UTUC. Evaluation of the patient and the tumor is recommended. Bilateral nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) was performed on a 53-year-old patient who presented with high-risk synchronous bilateral UTUC, and the outcome was reported

Epidemiology of adult poisoning at Adnan Menderes University

Bu çalısmada zehirlenme nedeni ile Acil Servise basvuran ve sonrasındaYogun BakımÜnitesi'ne izlenen hastalar hakkındaki verileri degerlendirmek ve epidemiyolojik çalısmalar için ön veri toplamak amaçlanmıstır. Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesinde 1 Ocak 2000- 31 Aralık 2003 arasında zehirlenme nedeni ile Acil Servis'e basvuran 15 yas üzeri hastalar ve bunlardan Yogun Bakım Ünitesi'nde (YBÜ) izlenen olgular geriye dönük olarak yas, cins, alınan toksik maddenin türü, hastanede kalıs süreleri, ve mortalite açısından degerlendirilmislerdir. Acil servise basvuran zehirlenme olgularının toplam hastalara oranı % 0.5 (156/32891) olarak bulunmustur. Bunların%65.3'ü kaza sonucu, kalanı ise intihar amaçlıdır. Olguların%60.2'si kadındır ve 15-24 yas grubunda yogunlasmıstır. En sık görülen zehirlenme oral yolla olusmustur (% 64.1). Acil servise basvuruda oral ilaç alımından sonra en sık görülen olgular hayvansal zehirlenmeler, gıda zehirlenmeleri, kaza ile kostik alımı, karbon monoksit inhalasyonu ve tarımilacı alımıdır. Yogun Bakım Ünitesi'nde izlenen 48 hastanın (% 30.8) çogu kadındı (% 58.3). Zehirlenme nedeniyle yogun bakım ünitesine yatısın % 70,9'unu intihar olguları olusturmaktadır. Yas ortalaması 31.12 15.77 olmustur. Hastalar ortalama 3.5 gün (1- 18 gün) süresince YBÜ'nde gözlenmislerdir . YBÜ'nde yatan hastalardan besi 2 ile 5 gün arasında ventilatöre baglanmıstır. Organofosfatla intihar eden 1 hasta ölmüs, bunun dısında tüm hastalar sifa ile taburcu olmustur. Bu çalısma Aydın yöresindeki zehirlenmeler için epidemiyolojik ön bilgi olusturma konusunda ipuçları vermektedir.The objective of this retrospective hospital-based study was to evaluate the rate and characteristics of acute human poisoning in our province (Aydın,Turkey). All cases of acute human poisonings admitted to the Emergency Department of the Adnan Menderes University Hospital, in Aydın, Turkey, between January 1 2000 and December 31 2003, were included in the study. The rate and causes of mortality from poisoning as well as demographic data of the patients were investigated. There were 156 (0.5%) poisoning cases within a total of 32,891 patients admitted to the emergency department. Of the poisoning cases, 60.2% were female. Poisonings made a peak between the ages of 15 and 24. The majority resulted from oral ingestion with deliberate intake, accounting for 64.1% of the cases. Most of the suicide attempt cases were also females. The most common cases except for therapeutic agents are bites, food, and oral ingestion of chemical products, carbon monoxide inhalation, and pesticides. Fourty-eight patients (30.8 %) were admitted to intensive care unit, which 58.3%were female. One patient died in the intensive care unit. Data presented in this article provide preliminary results on the pattern of symptomatic poisonings inAydın

DİB İhtisas Eğitim Programının (2018) Stufflebeam CIPP Modeline Göre Değerlendirilmesi

Toplumu din konusunda aydınlatmakla görevli Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, çeşitli alanlarda din hizmetlerini yürüten personeline yönelik hizmet içi eğitim kursları düzenlemektedir. Başkanlık teşkilatında görev yapan/yapacak nitelikli elemanları yetiştirmek amacıyla yürütülen eğitim-öğretim faaliyetlerinden biri de bugün itibariyle sayıları 12’yi bulan Diyanet Akademisi Başkanlığı bünyesinde faaliyet gösteren Dini Yüksek İhtisas Eğitim merkezlerindeki “ihtisas eğitimi” olarak bilinen hizmet içi eğitim kurslarıdır. Günümüz Türkiye’sinde dinî ilimlerin ihya ve inşa mekânları olma potansiyelini barındıran bu merkezler, kurulduğu günden bu yana DİB’in kendi personelini kalifiye ettiği en önemli eğitim kurumu olmuştur. Eğitim kurumları, programlarını ihtiyaca cevap verebilirliği çerçevesinde süreç içerisinde farklı paydaşlarla değerlendirebilmektedir. Programın değerlendirilmesi hem kurum, hem birey hem de toplum açısından son derece gereklidir. Program değerlendirmede farklı yaklaşım ve modeller kullanılabilmektedir. En genel anlamıyla bu değerlendirmelerin yaklaşımları hedefe ve sisteme dayalı, işbirlikçi/katılımcı odaklı değerlendirme yaklaşımları olarak ifade edilmektedir. Literatür incelendiğinde İhtisas eğitimi ve programı ile ilgili pek az çalışmanın yapıldığı, bu çalışmaların ise genellikle genel tanıtım odaklı nicel desenle yürütüldüğü, programın değerlendirildiği çalışmalarda ise belirli bir modelin takip edilmediği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada İhtisas eğitim programı, sisteme/yönetime dayalı program değerlendirme yaklaşımlarından Stufflebeam’ın CIPP modeli kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada program değerlendirme modeli olarak CIPP modelinin kullanılmasının amacı, bu değerlendirmede amacın kanıtlamak olmayışı, geliştirme ve program hakkında karar verme yetkisine sahip kimselere bilgi vermek olması etkili olmuştur. Aynı zamanda araştırmacıya belirli esneklikler sağlaması ve süreç ve sonuç odaklı da yürütülebilmesi bu modelin tercih edilmesindeki bir diğer etken olarak ifade edilebilir. Anahtar Kelimeler
