Publication Open Access Fracture History in Osteoporosis: Risk Factors and its Effect on Quality of Life(AVES, 2015-01-15) AKYÜZ, GÜLSEREN DERYA; Kuru, Pinar; Akyuz, Gulseren; Cersit, Hulya Peynirci; Celenlioglu, Alp Eren; Cumhur, Ahmet; Biricik, Sefikcan; Kozan, Seda; Goksen, Aylin; Ozdemir, Mikail; Luleci, EmelBackground: Fractures are one of the main outcomes in osteoporosis and have an important effect on the general health status. Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of major fracture history on quality of life. We also investigated the important risk factors and their effect on bone mineral density and fracture history. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: We recruited 105 patients who were admitted to an osteoporosis outpatient clinic. Medical history, family history, calcium intake, physical activity level and biochemical tests were evaluated. Lumbar spine and femur neck bone mineral density were measured. The Qualeffo-41 questionnaire was also used for evaluating quality of life. Results: The average age of the 105 patients included in the study was 56.04 +/- 13.73 and 89% of them were post-menopausal women. The average body mass index was 26.84 +/- 5.99, which means that the women were overweight. Also, 48.5% of the patients were diagnosed with osteoporosis and 51.5% of them were diagnosed as low bone density. A total of 34 patients had a fracture history with minor trauma and some of the patients had more than one fracture (12 ankle and foot, 10 forearm, 9 vertebral, 4 hand, 3 hip, 2 rib, 1 tibial). When the patients with and without fracture history were compared, the mean Qualeffo-41 score in patients with fracture was 43.85 +/- 2.57 and in the non-fracture group was 36.27 +/- 2.01. Conclusion: Forearm, ankle and foot fractures can be commonly seen in osteoporosis patients with fracture history. We suggest that it is important to recognise osteoporosis prior to first fracture and disease-specific quality of life assessment should be done.Publication Metadata only The pharmacists' awareness, knowledge and attitude about childhood autism in Istanbul(SPRINGER, 2016) ÜNAL, ÇAĞRI; Luleci, Nimet Emel; Hidiroglu, Seyhan; Karavus, Melda; Karavus, Ahmet; Sanver, Furkan Fatih; Ozgur, Fatih; Celik, Mehmethan; Celik, Samed CihadBackground Being one of the key players in healthcare, pharmacists could have an important role in the early detection and care of children with autism, by familiarizing themselves with autism-related resources and helping families to find relevant professional resources. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the awareness of pharmacists about autism, and their knowledge and attitude towards autism. Setting A degrees stanbul Province of Turkey. Method This descriptive study was carried out in pharmacists working in Istanbul Province of Turkey in 7 municipalities out of 39. One hundred forty-one out of 150 pharmacists who agreed to participate in our study were interviewed with the help of questionnaires. Main outcome measure Knowledge about childhood ASD and the social characteristics thereoff amongst pharmacists. Results Minimum 33.4 and maximum 73.1 % of the pharmacists gave correct answers to each question. Furthermore pharmacists' knowledge about causative factors of childhood ASD proved to be lacking and they tend to believe in outdated theories. The percentage of pharmacists believing that autism holds social stigma in this community was 66.0 %. Conclusion Pharmacists' knowledge regarding ASD needs to be improved. Enhancing their awareness, especially about basic social characteristics of childhood ASD will help pharmacists direct families of children with ASD to responsible health authorities.Publication Metadata only Hastane hizmet personelinde iş kazaları ve enfeksiyon kontrolü(2016-05-07) HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; LÜLECİ, NİMET EMEL; KARAVUŞ, MELDA; HIDIROĞLU S., DEMİRHAN S., LÜLECİ N.

This study aimed to explore pre-clinical medical students' attitudes and perceptions in relation to energy drinks. Materials and Methods: This was a questionnaire-based descriptive study of pre-clinical medical students attending a public medical school in Istanbul, Turkey. Questions covered the students' sociodemographic characteristics, personal habits (e.g., smoking and alcohol consumption), energy drink perceptions and energy drink consumption, and their experience of side effects from energy drinks. Chi-square tests were used to compare the categorical data. Results: The mean age of the participants was 21.27 +/- 1.37 (range: 19-28) years, and 54.0% (n: 81) were females and 46.0% (n: 69) were males. Overall, 68.0% (n: 102) reported that they had consumed an energy drink at least once in their lives, with 29.4% of these reporting use in combination with alcohol, 22.6% reporting use before exams, 20.6% reporting use before a physical activity, 13.7% reporting use to relieve fatigue, and 48.0% reporting that they had only tried an energy drink out of curiosity. Conclusion: A large number of participants tried energy drinks out of curiosity, but energy drink consumption was quite common in combination with alcohol. Case studies are needed to provide detailed information on the actual adverse health effects of energy drinks, but in the meantime, energy drink consumption should not be encouraged. Health care providers should educate children and families for the adverse effects of energy drinks.Publication Open Access Sleep quality and anxiety level in employees(KARE PUBL, 2017) TEKER SAYIN, AYŞE GÜLSEN; Teker, Ayse Gulsen; Luleci, Nimet EmelOBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to measure the sleep quality and anxiety level of a group of employees, as well as determine the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety and other factors. METHODS: A total of 130 of 185 employees at a university campus were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. A descriptive questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were the data collection instruments. In addition to univariate analysis, the relationship between the 2 scales was examined with Spearman correlation analysis. RESULTS: Of the participants, 38.9% had poor sleep quality. Gender, income level, presence of a chronic disease, regular medication use, and relationship with family and the social environment were found to affect both sleep quality and anxiety. A decrease in sleep quality was associated with an increase in the level of anxiety. CONCLUSION: Poor sleep quality and a high anxiety level are common in this country, as in the rest of the world. Socioeconomic interventions and psychosocial support to improve the status of individuals with risk factors, such as chronic disease, will reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality and overall psychosocial health. Further prospective studies should be conducted with different groups of participants and with larger samples to expand knowledge of the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety.Publication Open Access A Cross-sectional Study Evaluating Childhood Autism Awareness of Residents Otorhinolaryngology Department in Istanbul(ISTANBUL TRAINING & RESEARCH HOSPITAL, 2019-10-24) LÜLECİ, NİMET EMEL; Karavus, Melda; Karaketir, Seyma Gorcin; Hidiroglu, Seyhan; Luleci, Nimet Emel; Cetinkaya, Candan Yeter; Hosgor, Ezel Bersu; Karaketir, Semih; Karavus, AhmetIntroduction: Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) physicians may be effective in the early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness of ENT residents in Istanbul about recognizing ASD. Methods: The type of the study was cross-sectional. The study population consisted of 97 ENT residents, and 83 (85%) of these residents were included in the study. The questionnaire consisted of questions about the sociodemographic data of the participants and Autism Spectrum Disorder Awareness Questionnaire. Autism Spectrum Disorder Awareness Questionnaire contains the findings of ASD reported in the literature. This questionnaire includes observable findings of possible ASD in a child during routine examination of the ENT physician. Results: In our study, the most known finding of childhood autism was found to be difficulty in making eye contact (97.5%). Regarding work experience, difficulty in making eye contact (100%) and lack of age-appropriate language development (91.5%) findings were well-known findings among residents with less than four years of experience. On the other hand, very sensitive vision, hearing and touch senses (95.8%) and seem unable to hear even if hearing tests are normal (91.7%) findings were more prominent among residents with four or more years of experience. Conclusion: The ASD awareness of the ENT residents participating in our study can be considered as relatively good. The Autism Spectrum Disorder Awareness Questionnaire developed by the researchers is planned to be validated with the studies to be carried out later and developed to be used for ENT specialists. Such questionnaires can also be used to raise awareness among ENT residents and specialists.Publication Metadata only Tıp fakültesi öğrencileri ve sinema televizyon bölümü öğrencilerinde otizm yatkınlığının karşılaştırılması(2013-10-31) KARAVUŞ, MELDA; HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; LÜLECİ, NİMET EMEL; LÜLECİ N.

Material and Methods: The community-based study involved a total of 620 people, 498 women and 122 men, aged between 40 and 89 years. A questionnaire on the medical history and lifestyles of the participants was applied with a face-to-face interview. Body weight height, and arm span of each participant were measured, together with bone mineral density at the middle phalanges of the second, third, and fourth digits of the non-dominant hand using dual-energy X-ray laser absorptiometry. Results: Age, clothing, lack of regular exercise, and giving birth to more than two children seem to contribute to osteoporosis, while high education, high economic level, tea and moderate alcohol consumption, oral contraceptive use, and hormone replacement therapy seem to retard osteoporosis. Osteoporotic patients had more fractures in the past. Height and weight were significantly lower in osteoporotic women. Conclusion: Lifestyle affects the prevalence of osteoporosis. Drinking tea and alcohol seems to be controversial with regard to osteoporosis risk.Publication Metadata only Toplumun yaşlılarla ilgili düşünceleri: Türkiye dünya değerler çalışması(2018-03-23) LÜLECİ, NİMET EMEL; MANDIRACIOĞLU A., ÖZVURMAZ S., LÜLECİ N.
