Chronic Invasive Nongranulomatous Fungal Rhinosinusitis in Immunocompetent Individuals

Chronic invasive nongranulomatous fungal rhinosinusitis is a well-described but uncommon type of fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS). While the prevalence of chronic FRS is 0.11% in healthy individuals, only 1.3% of them are in nongranulomatous invasive nature. The majority of the cases in the literature have been reported from developing countries mostly located in the tropical regions, as typically occurring in the background of diabetes mellitus or corticosteroid treatment. The current paper reports four consecutive cases, who were diagnosed within a short period of six months at a single center of a country located outside the tropical climate zone. None of the patients had a comorbid disease that may cause immune suppression or a history of drug use. The only risk factor that may have a role in development of chronic invasive nongranulomatous FRS was that all of our patients were people working in greenhouse farming. Three cases underwent endoscopic sinus surgery, and one case underwent surgery with both endoscopic and external approaches. Systemic antifungal therapy was initiated in all cases in the postoperative period with voriconazole 200 mg orally twice a day. All patients achieved a complete clinical remission. Chronic invasive nongranulomatous FRS should be kept in mind in the presence of long-standing nonspecific sinonasal symptoms in immunocompetent individuals, particularly with a history of working in greenhouse farming

Batı Karadeniz Bölgesinde Bir Üniversite Hastanesine Başvuran Hasta ve Hasta Yakınlarının Akılcı İlaç Kullanımına Yönelik Bilgi ve Davranışlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Bu araştırma; toplumda Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı farkındalık düzeyinin belirlenmesi için planlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipte planlanmış olan bu araştırmaya Düzce ilinde 121’i erkek, 65’i kadın olmak üzere 186 kişi katılmış olup, yüz-yüze görüşmeler ile anket uygulanmıştır. İstatiksel verilerin değerlendirilmesinde Pearson ki-kare, Fisher kesin olasılık testi ve Fisher-Freeman-Halton testleri kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırmamızda; katılımcıların %72’sinin ilaçsız tedaviyi tercih ettiği, %98,9’unun hekiminin tavsiyesi ile ilaç kullandığı, %83,3’ünün Akılcı İlaç Kullanımını hakkında daha önce bilgi sahibi olmadıklarını, %61,3’ünün evinde kullanılmayan ilaç olduğunu, %36,8’inin bitkisel ilaç kullandığını, %73,5’inin ilaçlarını çöpe atarak imha ettikleri bilgisine ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca araştırmamızda anlamlı olarak; kadınların erkeklere oranla daha fazla başkasına ilaç tavsiye ettikleri, 65 yaş üstü katılımcıların antibiyotiği ateş düşürücü olarak bildikleri ve üniversite mezunu katılımcıların diğer gruplara göre daha fazla Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı hakkında farkındalıklarının olduğunu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı farkındalığı %3,8 gibi çok düşük bir oran olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu sebeple halkı akılcı olmayan ilaç uygulamalarından ve yanlış ilaç bilgilerinden kurtarmak için Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı farkındalık çalışmalarının daha fazla güçlendirilerek tüm bölge halkına ulaştırılması gerektiği sonucu çıkarılabilir. Gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalarda Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı hakkında farkındalığın artırılması için neler yapılabileceği konusunun araştırılması hedeflenmektedir.Aim: This research was planned to determine the level of awareness on Rational Drug Use in the community. Material and Methods: This study, which was planned in a descriptive cross-sectional, total of 186 people participated in Düzce, 121 of whom were men and 65 women, and a survey was applied with face-to-face interviews. In the statistical evaluation of data, Pearson chi-squared test, Fisher’s Exact test and Fisher-Freeman-Halton tests were applied. Results: In our research; 72% of the participants preferred drug-free treatment, 98.9% used drugs with the recommendation of their physician, 83.3% didn’t know about Rational Drug Use before, 61.3% used drugs that were not used at home, It was found that 36.8% of them used herbal medicines and 73.5% of them dispose of their medicines by throwing them away. In addition, significantly in our research; It was found that women recommended drugs to other people more than men, participants over the age of 65 knew antibiotics as an antipyretic, and university graduates were more aware of Rational Drug Use than other groups. Conclusion: As a result of the research, the awareness of Rational Drug Use was found to be very low, at 3.8%. For this reason, it can be concluded that Rational Drug Use awareness studies should be strengthened more and conveyed to the people of the region in order to save the public from irrational drug practices and wrong drug information. In future studies, it is aimed to investigate what can be done to raise awareness about Rational Drug Use

Synthesis, characterization, and pharmacological evaluation of the proton transfer salts of 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives with 5-sulfosalicylic acid and their Cu(II) complexes

WOS: 000457548200025Two proton transfer compounds, formed between 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives (2-aminobenzothiazole (abt) and 2-amino-6-ethoxybenzothiazole (EtOabt)) and 5-sulfosalicylic acid dihydrate (H3ssa) as parent compounds, (Habt)(+) (H2ssa)(-) (1) and (HEtOabt)(+) (H2ssa)(-) (2) and their Cu(II) complexes (3 and 4, respectively) have been prepared and characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The single crystal X-ray diffraction method has been also applied to 3 and 4. Although 3 has a distorted octahedral form, 4 exhibits a distorted square pyramidal geometry. All compounds, including saline and diclofenac sodium as standards, have been evaluated pharmacologically for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities in rats and mice. Parent compounds (abt, EtOabt, and H3ssa) 3 and 4 showsignificant anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities as compared with control compounds.

The Evaluation of Videos about Branched-Chain Amino Acids Supplements on YouTube™: A Multi-Approach Study

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are one of the most controversial ergogenic aids in terms of effectiveness and safety. This study aimed to evaluate the quality and reliability of BCAA supplements related to English videos on YouTube™ and to synthesize with the sentiment–emotion analysis of comments on videos. The content analysis of the information on videos was evaluated with the use of DISCERN, Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, and Global Quality Score (GQS). In addition, word cloud and sentiment and emotional analysis of comments in videos were performed with the R package. As a result, the mean ± standard error values of DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS scores of all videos were 29.27 ± 1.97, 1.95 ± 0.12, and 2.13 ± 0.17, respectively. It was found that advertisement-free videos have a significantly higher DISCERN and GQS score than advertisement-included videos (p < 0.05). A moderately significant positive correlation was determined between DISCERN score of video content and the positive sentiment of video comments (rs: 0.400, p = 0.002). In conclusion, it was determined that BCAA-related YouTube™ videos have mostly very poor quality in terms of content and that videos with higher quality may receive positive comments from viewers according to the DISCERN instrument

Dietary Supplement Use of Turkish Footballers: Differences by Sex and Competition Level

This study aimed to evaluate the consumption of dietary supplements (DS) and to determine related topics in Turkish football players of different sexes and competition levels. A total of 117 footballers (79 males and 38 females) completed a specific survey regarding DS consumption in athletes. The type of DS ingested was classified based on the level of scientific evidence by the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS): group A (high level of scientific evidence), group B (DS that could have a positive effect, but require more evidence), group C (evidence is against their use), and group D (prohibited substances). After a Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, a t-test or Mann–Whitney U test was performed for quantitative variables, while Pearson’s chi-square and odds ratio (with the confidence interval) were performed for qualitative variables. Of the sample, 87.2% reported having consumed DS, with a higher consumption rate in males (males: 93.7%, females: 73.7%; p = 0.006; OR = 5.3 [1.7–16.8]) and professional players (professional: 98.2%, non-professional: 77.4%; p < 0.001; OR = 7.9 [1.2–52.3]). Males and professional players consume more sports foods (p < 0.001), performance supplements (p < 0.001), and total group A supplements (p < 0.001) compared to females and non-professionals. In addition, males consume more medical supplements (p = 0.012) and total group C supplements (p < 0.001) than female footballers. The most consumed DS were sports drinks (63.2%), magnesium (52.1%), vitamin C (51.3%), vitamin D (46.2%), caffeine (38.5%), sports bars (37.6%), whey protein (28.2%), meat protein (25.6%), vitamin E (24.8%), and omega-3 fatty acids (24.8%). The supplement consumption was higher in male and professional footballers. According to the AIS classification, there were significant differences in the consumption of sports foods, medical supplements, performance supplements, and the total number of group A and group C supplements according to sex, and there were significant differences in the consumption of sports foods, performance supplements, and the total number of group A supplements according to competition level
