Yöntem: Kesitsel türde yapılan bu çalışma, 1482 kişi üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan soru formu, bireyler ile yüz yüze görüşülerek dolduruldu. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde ortalama, yüzdelik yöntemleri kullanıldı.Bulgular: Bireylerin yaş yılı ortalamasının 31.74 (SS=10.37, Minimum=18, Maksimum=65), %56’sının kadın, %43.5’inin lise mezunu olduğu saptandı. Bireylerin %71.4’ü Türkiye’de erkeklerin de hemşirelik yapabileceğini bildiğini; %62.6’sı hemşireliğin hem kadınların hem de erkeklerin yapabileceği bir meslek olduğunu; %18.2’si hemşirelik mesleğinde sadece kadınların olması gerektiğini; %71.7’si hemşirelerin uygulamalardaki başarısının cinsiyetten daha önemli olduğunu; %52.5’i erkek hemşirelerin, meslekte herhangi bir değişime yol açmayacağını; %31.4’ü erkek hemşirelerin, hemşireliğin toplumsal statüsünün gelişmesine katkı sağlamayacağını; %45.6’sı erkek hemşirelerin, hastane ortamında her alanda, %39.7’si yoğun bakım, ameliyathane ve acil gibi alanlarda çalışması gerektiğini ifade etti. Ayrıca araştırma kapsamına alınan bireylerin %16.6’sı erkek hemşirenin bakım vermesinden utanacağını, %15.9’u çekineceğini, %15.4’ü şaşıracağını söyledi. Sonuç ve Öneri: Türkiye’de erkek hemşire imgesi genelde olumlu yöndedir. Fakat tüm toplumun erkek hemşireye bakış açısının olumlu olması sağlanmalıdır. Bu amaçla, toplum, cinsiyetin hemşirelik bakımının kalitesini etkileyen bir faktör olmadığı konusunda bilgilendirilmelidir

Preliminary survey of nematodes associated with broadleaved trees in Izmit Forest Management Directorate, Turkey

A survey for Bursaphelenchus species was carried out in broadleaf forest sites of Izmit Forest Management Directorate. Nematodes were extracted from 128 wood samples, and 22 of them were cultured. Nematodes were identified using morphological characteristics and molecular analysis by amplifying D2-D3 LSU with primers. Only one Bursaphelenchus species, Bursaphelenchus mucronatus kolymensis, was isolated from Quercus petraea representing the first report from broadleaved tree species in Turkey. Paraphelenchus acontioides and Aphelenchoides heidelbergi were identified and presented herein as the first reports of these two species from Turkey. In addition, five Aphelenchoides species were also found and reported as Aphelenchoides sp.Duzce Universitesi [2016.02.02.447]Duzce Universitesi, Grant/Award Number: 2016.02.02.447WOS:0005819409000012-s2.0-8509291651

T-PAH contamination in Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819) at various stations of the Turkish Straits System

Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Turkish Straits Systems were analyzed for sixteen parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contents by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This marine organism was selected because of its multitude, wide distribution, being bio indicator for the pollution and consumption by humans. Total PAH concentrations ranged from 1.2 to 589 mu g g(-1) in Istanbul Strait, 0.94-36.4 mu g g(-1) in Marmara Sea and 0.4-47.9 mu g g(-1), in Canakkale Strait during the samplings. According to the results Istanbul and canakkale Straits are more polluted than the Marmara Sea. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Origin and Distribution of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Mediterranean Mussels (Mytilus Galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819) of the Turkish Straits System

The distribution of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) in the coast of the Turkish Straits System (TSS) was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). According to the results, the most important contributors to PAH concentrations in mussels were chrysene, fluoranthene and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). Due to its carcinogenic character, BaP is known as one of the most significant congeners of PAHs and the highest concentration of BaP has been found to be 8 mu g g(-1) in Kadikoy station. The most polluted mussels were collected from the regions affected by shipping activities such as Kadikoy, Kumkapi and Tekirdag. In this study, origins of pollution were determined using the ratios of individual PAH compounds. The main pollution origin is found as both pyrolytic and petrogenic at most stations

Prevalence of female sexual problems and effecting factors in Zonguldak province

WOS: 000310132800006Objective: Although the sexual problems are commonly observed in Turkey, the community studies about the prevalence of sexual problems are rare. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence and risk factors of female sexual dysfunction in Turkish women population in Zonguldak province. Methods: The study group consisted of 517 married women 15 to 49 years old living in Zonguldak province. The participants were administered to GRISS and sociodemographical questionnaires for the evaluation of Female Sexual Dysfunction. Findings: The mean age of participants was 36.5 +/- 7.87. According to GRISS, 45.5% of women had female sexual dysfunction. The most frequent sexual dysfunctions were vaginismus (67.3%) and sexual frequency problems (60.3%). Sexual non-sensuality problem (54.5%), sexual non-communication (54.7%), sexual avoidance (54.5%) and anorgasmia (23.8%) were among other prevalent problems. Conclusion: As a result of our study, the inadequate sexual knowledge of women, restriction of sexual talk at home and information exchange with friends being the most common method of sexual knowledge indicated that sexuality is still a taboo in our community. Also, nearly all women lacked pre-marriage sexual experience, which showed the continuing significance of virginity. (Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry 2012; 13:191-197

An odontogenic cyst causing facial asymmetry: a case report

Radicular cysts are inflammatory in character and the most frequently seen of odontogenic cysts. As they are generally seen to grow painlessly, the first finding may be facial asymmetry. Although seen in every age group, they are most often seen in males aged 20-60 years. The patient reported here presented with complaints of swelling in the right cheek. On the paranasal sinus computed tomography, a cyst appeared to be completely filling the maxillary sinus and this was totally excised with a Caldwell-Luc approach. In the differential diagnosis of cystic masses of the maxillary sinus, there may be confusion with odontogenic cysts. Imaging methods can clearly define the localisation of cystic lesions within the sinus cavity, growth direction, bone tissue loss associated with lysis and osteocondensation. To prevent recurrence, it is necessary to completely remove regenerated mucosa and the residual cyst epithelium. [Med-Science 2016; 5(4.000): 1011-12
