    Objective: Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal disorder caused by complete or partial X chromosome monosomy that manifests various clinical features depending on the karyotype and on the genetic background of affected girls. This study aimed to systematically investigate the key clinical features of TS in relationship to karyotype in a large pediatric Turkish patient population.Methods: Our retrospective study included 842 karyotype-proven TS patients aged 0-18 years who were evaluated in 35 different centers in Turkey in the years 2013-2014.Results: The most common karyotype was 45,X (50.7%), followed by 45,X/46,XX (10.8%), 46,X,i(Xq) (10.1%) and 45,X/46,X,i(Xq) (9.5%). Mean age at diagnosis was 10.2±4.4 years. The most common presenting complaints were short stature and delayed puberty. Among patients diagnosed before age one year, the ratio of karyotype 45,X was significantly higher than that of other karyotype groups. Cardiac defects (bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of the aorta and aortic stenosis) were the most common congenital anomalies, occurring in 25% of the TS cases. This was followed by urinary system anomalies (horseshoe kidney, double collector duct system and renal rotation) detected in 16.3%. Hashimoto's thyroiditis was found in 11.1% of patients, gastrointestinal abnormalities in 8.9%, ear nose and throat problems in 22.6%, dermatologic problems in 21.8% and osteoporosis in 15.3%. Learning difficulties and/or psychosocial problems were encountered in 39.1%. Insulin resistance and impaired fasting glucose were detected in 3.4% and 2.2%, respectively. Dyslipidemia prevalence was 11.4%.Conclusion: This comprehensive study systematically evaluated the largest group of karyotype-proven TS girls to date. The karyotype distribution, congenital anomaly and comorbidity profile closely parallel that from other countries and support the need for close medical surveillance of these complex patients throughout their lifespa

    The aim of this study is to examine the effect of physical education and sports teachers' professional attitude levels on job characteristics. 243 volunteers selected by a simple random method among the physical education and sports teachers who work in public and private primary and secondary education institutions throughout the province of Kayseri participated in the study. The Google Forms platform was used to collect data. This method was preferred in order to maintain social distance during the pandemic period. In this period, information and questionnaires about the study were conveyed to the volunteers through social networks. Volunteers who participated in the study were asked to fill in the personal information form, the attitude towards the teaching profession and the job characteristics of the teaching profession. The data obtained in the study were analyzed in computer environment by using IBM SPSS 22.0 program. Variables are expressed using mean +/- standard deviation, percentage and frequency values. While Pearson correlation analysis was applied to reveal the relationships between scales, logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the predictive power of scale scores. For the significance level of the tests, p<0,05 and p<0,01 values were accepted. As a result, it has been determined that the attitude towards the profession and job characteristics of physical education and sports teachers participating in the study are above average. Also, it has been determined that there is a positive relationship between the attitude towards the profession and job characteristics, and the model created is also significant. It is thought that this situation stems from the fact that physical education and sports teachers try to perform their profession in the best way in terms of attitude and job characteristics in line with the duties and responsibilities they have gained from their sports years and their personal self-sacrifice during university education
