I Whistleblow As I Am a University Student: An Investigation on the Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Whistleblowing

The purpose of this study is to reveal whether there is a relationship between university students' self-efficacy and whistleblowing levels. There are two facts which attribute authenticity to this study. The first is that there are only a limited number of studies in literature dealing with these two variables together. The other is the existence of a certain amount of findings. For instance, foreign literature (literature outside Turkey) asserts that these two variables are associated with one another. It is also claimed that general self-efficacy is the premise of internal whistleblowing. In fact, contrary to the perception, which is very common in Turkish culture, that "a person with high self-efficacy does not engage in whistleblowing for anyone", foreign literature suggests that university students with high selfefficacy are more inclined to whistleblow. In the study, selfefficacy is analyzed in general terms whereas whistleblowing is dealt with under the dimensions of internal whistleblowing, external whistleblowing, and indifference. In this sense, correlation analysis was conducted in order to reveal the relationship between variables, and regression analysis was conducted for the aspect of influence. The sample of the study covers 120 participants studying in Mersin University Erdemli School of Applied Technology and Business and Erdemli Vocational School. According to the analysis results, there are significant relationships between self-efficacy and whistleblowing. The sample of the study was limited to university students due to problems of time and cost and for the sake of making analysis on the sector of education

Artikain Difüzyon Hacminin Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme Yöntemi İle İn Vivo Olarak Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: İn vivo olarak artikain solüsyonunun difüzyon hacminin manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yöntemi ile değerlendirilmesi ve adrenalin miktarının ve enjeksiyon bölgesinin artikainin difüzyon hacmi üzerine etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Otuz gönüllüye birinci premolar (15 gönüllü) veya birinci molar (15 gönüllü) diş bölgesine bilateral olarak maksiller bukkal supraperiostal enjeksiyon 1:100.000 oranında (1.7 ml) ve 1:200.000 oranında (1.7 ml) adrenalin içeren % 4’lük artikain solüsyonu kullanılarak uygulanmıştır. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleri enjeksiyondan önce ve enjeksiyondan 5 dakika sonra elde edilmiştir. Lokal anestezik solüsyonun difüzyon hacmi planimetri metodu ve Cavalieri prensibi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analiz Student t testi kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Artikain solüsyonun ortalama difüzyon hacmi 3.23 cm3 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Adrenalin miktarının ve enjeksiyon lokalizasyonunun difüzyon hacmi üzerindeki etkisinin istatistiksel olarak önemli olmadığı görülmüştür (P>0.05). Sonuç: Artikainin 5 dakikalık bekleme süresi sonunda enjekte edilen solüsyon hacminin yaklaşık iki katı büyüklükteki dokuya difüze olabildiği görülmüştü

Can thiamine pyrophosphate prevent desflurane induced hepatotoxicity in rats?

Cetin, Nihal/0000-0003-3233-8009; Arslan, Aynur/0000-0001-5968-5823; yilmaz, adnan/0000-0003-4842-1173WOS: 000374189100004PubMed: 27050787PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) against desflurane induced hepatotoxicity. METHODS: Thirty experimental animals were divided into groups as healthy (HG), desflurane control (DCG), TPP and desflurane group (TDG). 20 mg/kg TPP was injected to intraperitoneally TDG. After one hour of TPP administration, desflurane was applied for two hours. After 24 hours, liver tissues of the animals killed with decapitation were removed. the oxidant/antioxidant levels and ALT, AST and LDH activities were measured. the histopathological examinations were performed in the liver tissues for all rats. RESULTS: Notwithstanding the levels of oxidants and liver enzymes were significantly increased (p<0.0001), antioxidant levels were significantly decreased in DCG (p<0.0001). on contrary to the antioxidant parameters were increased (p<0.05) the oxidant parameters and liver enzymes were decreased in TDG (p<0.0001). Whereas multiple prominent, congestion, hemorrhage and dilatation were observed in sinusoids and lymphocyte-rich inflammation results in the centrilobular and portal areas of liver tissue in DCG, these findings were observed less frequently in TDG. CONCLUSION: Thiamine pyrophosphate prevented liver oxidative damage induced with desflurane and may be useful in prophylaxis of desflurane induced hepatotoxicity.Erzincan University Scientific Research Projects DepartmentErzincan Binali Yildirim University [SAG-B-080715-0173]Erzincan University Scientific Research Projects Department (Project no SAG-B-080715-0173

Endoscopic Management of the Difficult Bile Duct Stones: A Single Tertiary Center Experience

Background. Most common bile duct (CBD) stones can be removed with standard techniques using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), but in some cases additional methods are needed. In this study we aimed to investigate the management of patients with difficult stones and the factors that affect the outcome of patients that have undergone periodic endobiliary stenting. Materials and Methods. Data of 1529 patients with naive papilla who had undergone ERCP with an indication of CBD stones was evaluated retrospectively. Stones that could not be removed with standard techniques were defined as “difficult stones.” Cholangiograms of patients who had difficult stones were revised prospectively. Results. Two hundred and eight patients (13.6%) had difficult stones; 150 of these patients were followed up with periodic endobiliary stenting and successful biliary clearance was achieved in 85.3% of them. Both CBD (p<0.001) and largest stone size (p<0.001) were observed to be significantly reduced between the first and the last procedure. This difference was even more significant in successfully treated patients. Conclusions. Periodic endobiliary stenting can be used as an effective treatment for patients with difficult stones. Sizes of the CBD and of the largest stone are independent risk factors that affect the success rate

Single and double injection paravertebral block comparison in reduction mammaplasty cases: a randomized controlled study

Background This study compares the analgesic effects and dermatomal blockade distributions of single and double injection bilateral thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) techniques in patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty. Methods After obtaining ethics committee approval, 60 patients scheduled for bilateral reduction mammaplasty were included in the study. Preoperatively, the patients received one of single (Group S: T3–T4) or double (Group D: T2–T3 & T4–T5) injection bilateral TPVBs using bupivacaine 0.375% 20 ml per side. All patients were operated under general anesthesia. The T3–T6 dermatomal blockade distributions on the midclavicular line were followed by pin-prick test for 30 min preoperatively and 48 h postoperatively. All patients received paracetamol 1 g when numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score was ≥ 4, and also tramadol 1 mg/kg when NRS was ≥ 4 again after 1 h. The primary endpoint was NRS pain scores at postoperative 12th h. The secondary endpoints were dermatomal blockade distributions and NRS scores through the postoperative first 48 h, time until first pain and the analgesic consumption on days 1 and 2. Results Fifty-two patients completed the study. The NRS pain scores at 12th h were similar (right side: P = 0.100, left side: P = 0.096). The remaining NRS scores and other parameters were also comparable within the groups (P ≥ 0.05). Only single injection TPVB application time was shorter (P < 0.001). Conclusions The single injection TPVB technique provided sufficient dermatomal distribution and analgesic efficacy with the advantages of being faster and less invasive
