Citation Analysis of Master's Theses at Çankırı Karatekin University Department of Information and Records Management/Çankırı Karatekin Üniversitesi Bilgi ve Belge Yönetimi Bölümü Yüksek Lisans Tezlerinin Atıf Analizi

Purpose: This study aims to conduct a citation analysis on master's theses completed at Çankırı Karatekin University, Department of Information and Records Management (ÇAKUDIRM). Method: Within the scope of the study, citation analysis was carried out on a total of 4,365 citation data (language of publication, type of source, author(s,) and half-life) collected manually from the bibliography section of 37 master's theses completed in ÇAKU-DIRM between 2017 and 2021. In addition, the number of pages, publication year, thesis advisors and jury members of the theses were also analysed. Findings: The most frequently cited information source types in theses were periodicals (36%), books (31%) and electronic publications (18%). The language of the cited sources was Turkish (67%), English (32%) and other languages (1%). The most frequently cited Turkish and English periodicals were Türk Kütüphaneciliği (Turkish Librarianship), Bilgi Dünyası (Information World), Resmi Gazete (Official Gazette), The Journal of Academic Librarianship, Library Trends, and Reference Services Review, respectively. Although varying by type of information source, the overall literature half-life was 9 years. Hüseyin Odabaş, Coşkun Polat, and Mehmet Ali Akkaya were the most frequently employed faculty members among a total of 7 advisors. The most frequently cited authors were Hüseyin Odabaş, Coşkun Polat, and Bülent Yılmaz, respectively. Implications: The results of this study are expected to be effective in developing and managing library collections in universities offering Information and Records Management graduate programs. In addition, this study reveals that the rate of English resource usage in the theses completed in the ÇAKU-DIRM program, which does not require a foreign language score at the stage of admission to the master's program, is higher than the theses in the Istanbul University DIRM program that require a foreign language score. Since the design and findings of this study are not suitable for making inferences about how foreign language resource use is realized, it is recommended to conduct an individual research on students' use of foreign language resources in graduate theses to develop institutional and national policies. Originality: In the literature, citation analysis has been done on the graduate theses of the Information and Records Management departments of universities in Turkey with a deeprooted history, such as Hacettepe, Istanbul and Ankara. On the other hand, ÇAKU-DIRM differs from the universities that were the subject of previous studies as it is young and does not require an English language score for admission to the master’s program

Comparison of colistin-carbapenem, colistin-sulbactam, and colistin plus other antibacterial agents for the treatment of extremely drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bloodstream infections

23rd European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) -- 41394 -- Berlin, GERMANYWOS: 000338723600006PubMed ID: 24532009The purpose of this investigation was to compare the efficacy of colistin-based therapies in extremely drug-resistant Acinetobacter spp. bloodstream infections (XDR-ABSI). A retrospective study was conducted in 27 tertiary-care centers from January 2009 to August 2012. The primary end-point was 14-day survival, and the secondary end-points were clinical and microbiological outcomes. Thirty-six and 214 patients [102 (47.7 %): colistin-carbapenem (CC), 69 (32.2 %): colistin-sulbactam (CS), and 43 (20.1 %: tigecycline): colistin with other agent (CO)] received colistin monotherapy and colistin-based combinations, respectively. Rates of complete response/cure and 14-day survival were relatively higher, and microbiological eradication was significantly higher in the combination group. Also, the in-hospital mortality rate was significantly lower in the combination group. No significant difference was found in the clinical (p = 0.97) and microbiological (p = 0.92) outcomes and 14-day survival rates (p = 0.79) between the three combination groups. Neither the timing of initial effective treatment nor the presence of any concomitant infection was significant between the three groups (p > 0.05) and also for 14-day survival (p > 0.05). Higher Pitt bacteremia score (PBS), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and prolonged hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay before XDR-ABSI were significant risk factors for 14-day mortality (p = 0.02, p = 0.0001, p = 0.0001, p = 0.02, and p = 0.01, respectively). In the multivariable analysis, PBS, age, and duration of ICU stay were independent risk factors for 14-day mortality (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.001, respectively). Colistin-based combination therapy resulted in significantly higher microbiological eradication rates, relatively higher cure and 14-day survival rates, and lower in-hospital mortality compared to colistin monotherapy. CC, CS, and CO combinations for XDR-ABSI did not reveal significant differences with respect to 14-day survival and clinical or microbiological outcome before and after propensity score matching (PSM). PBS, age, and length of ICU stay were independent risk factors for 14-day mortality

Efficacy of colistin and non-colistin monotherapies in multi-drug resistant acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia/sepsis

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the efficacies of colistin and non-colistin monotherapies in multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremia (MDR-AB). Materials and methods: Cases with MDR-AB from 27 tertiary-referral hospitals between January 2009 and December 2012 were included. Patients' data that were on either colistin monotherapy (CM) or non-colistin monotherapy (NCM) were compared. Mortality on Day 14 was the primary endpoint, whereas microbiological eradication and clinical outcome were the secondary ones. Results: Eighty-four cases were included in the study with 36 being in the CM group and 48 in the NCM group. Thirty-eight (45.2%) cases were male and the mean age was 60.2 years. The mean durations of pre-MDR-AB hospital stay and intensive care unit stay were 25.8 days and 20.9 days, respectively. All of the cases had fever (>38°C). The mean Pitt bacteremia score (PBS) of the patients was calculated as 6.8, APACHE 2 score as 18.9 and the Charlson co-morbidity index (CCI) as 3.7 (CM: 3.6 vs. NCM: 3.9). Twenty (55.6%) cases in the CM group and 26 cases in the NCM group (54.2%) (p=0.81) died; 9 cases in the CM group (25%) and 16 cases in the NCM group (33.3%) had treatment failure (P=0.55). Bacteriological eradication was achieved in 20 (55.6%) cases in the CM group and in 36 cases (75%) in the NCM group (P=0.061). Conclusions: No significant difference could be identified between the colistin monotherapy and non-colistin monotherapy options in MDR-AB cases with respect to the results of efficacy and 14-day mortality

Miego apnėja tarp sergančiųjų išemine širdies liga: dažnis, susiję veiksniai, sąsajos su kairiojo skilvelio morfometrijos ir funkcijos rodikliais

The purpose of the study. The purpose of this cross sectional study was to determine prevalence of sleep apnea, characteristics, association with traditional CAD risk factors and to investigate association between sleep apnea and alteration in left ven-tricular morphometry and function in CAD patients. Objectives of the study. 1. To cross-sectionally investigate prevalence of sleep apnea and differ-ences in clinical and polysomnographic characteristics in CAD pa-tients with and without sleep apnea. 2. To explore whether routine clinical features from the study of patients with CAD could predict the presence of sleep apnea by two thresholds for diagnosing (apnea-hyponea index ≥5 and ≥15). 3. To determine whether there are differences in risk factors for the pres-ence of sleep apnea between men and women with CAD. 4. To cross-sectionally investigate the association between sleep apnea and left ventricular morphometry in CAD patients. 5. To identify association between left ventricular diastolic function pa rameters and sleep apnea in CAD patients with left ventricular ejec-tion fraction ≥50%. Statements of the hypotheses. We hypothesised, that in CAD patients: 1. Sleep apnea is common in CAD patients with no previous sleep apnea diagnosis. The traditional CAD risk factors such as age, male gender, obesity and hypertension, is more prevalent among patients with sleep apnea compared with patients without sleep apnea. Significant small correlations between some polisomnographic parameters and the severity of sleep apnea could be found. 2. Using the same set of potential clinical confounders, the prognostic factors of the presence of sleep apnea differ when adapting the two cutoffs of apnea-hypopnea index for sleep apnea diagnosis. 3. The risk factors for the presence of SA in women differ from those in men. 4. Mild to moderate sleep apnea is cross-sectionally [...]

Akıldışı eski tedavileri reddederek, yerine henüz yeni bir tedavi seçenekleri de olmadığından; yalnızca (doğru) tanı koymaya çalışan ve hastanın prognozunu tayin etmeye odaklanmış, tepkisel ve aslında bir bakıma muhafazakar yeni bir tıbbı başlatmışlardır.

Education of healthcare personnel working with pediatric patients during covid-19 pandemic within the framework of infection control Covid-19 pandemisinde enfeksiyon kontrol çalışmaları çerçevesinde çocuk hastalarla çalışan sağlık personeli eğitimi

© 2020, AVES. All rights reserved.Objective: In the early stages of any epidemic caused by new emerging pathogens healthcare personnel is subject to a great risk. Pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, proved to be no exception. Many healthcare workers died in the early stages of pandemic due to inadequate precautions and insufficient protection. It is essential to protect and maintain the safety of healthcare personnel for the confinement of pandemic as well as continuity of qualified healthcare services which is already under strain. Educating healthcare personnel on appropiate use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is as essential as procuring them. Material and Methods: A survey is conducted on 4927 healthcare personnel working solely with pediatric patients from 32 different centers. Education given on PPE usage were questioned and analyzed depending on age, sex, occupation and region. Results: Among four thousand nine hundred twelve healthcare personnel from 32 different centers 91% (n= 4457) received education on PPE usage. Of those who received education only 36% was given both theoretical and applied education. Although there was no differences among different occupation groups, receiving education depended on regions. Conclusion: It is essential to educate healthcare personnel appropiately nationwidely for the continuity of qualified healthcare services during the pandemic

SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity among pediatric health care personnel just after the first peak of pandemic: A nationwide surveillance.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 pandemic affected every single person on earth one way or the other. The healthcare personnel were no exception, their responsibilities as well as their risks being immense. METHODS: 4927 healthcare personnel all working in pediatric units at 32 hospitals from seven different regions of Turkey enrolled to the study to determine the seroprevalence of SARS Co-V-2 after the first peak wave. Point of care serologic lateral flow rapid test kit for IgM/IgG was used (Ecotest CE Assure Tech. Co. Ltd.). Seroprevalence and its association with demographic characteristics and possible risk factors were analyzed. RESULTS: Nearly 6.1% of healthcare personnel were found to be seropositive for SARS Co-V- 2. Seropositivity was more common among those who did not universally wear protective masks (10.6% vs 6.1%). Having a COVID-19 co-worker increased the likelihood of infection. The least and the most experienced personnel affected more. Most of the seropositive healthcare personnel (68%) did not have any suspicion that they had COVID-19 previously. CONCLUSIONS: Health surveillance for healthcare personnel involving routine point-of-care nucleic acid testing as well as monitoring PPE adherence would be important strategies to protect healthcare personnel from COVID-19 and to reduce nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 transmission
