    Abstract The prevalence of depression and anxiety in pregnant women is increasing and this is more important in migrants who are in the vulnerable group. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of depression and anxiety in Syrian immigrant pregnant women admitted to a Migrant Health Center and the associated factors. The study is a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire prepared using sociodemographic characteristics and the Beck depression and anxiety inventories in Arabic was applied to the participants. The study was conducted with immigrant pregnant women who applied to the Migrant Health Center between July 8, 2022, and December 31, 2022. The study was conducted through health workers who speak Arabic and had received training on the subject beforehand. The mean age of the research group was 26.67 ± 5.98 years. Of the participants, 73.0 percent (%) had primary education or less, 95.0% had low income, 87.2% had 3 or less children and 98.5% described their health status as good or very good. The mean Beck anxiety inventory score of the participants was found to be 4.65 ± 3.17. The mean Beck depression inventory score was found to be 4.48 ± 2.53. Smoking and first pregnancy status were found to be associated with anxiety, whereas smoking and history of delivery beyond 42 weeks were found to be associated with depression (P ˂ .05). Anxiety and depression levels of immigrant pregnant women were found to be very low. Minimal anxiety was found in 99.3% of the immigrant pregnant women and 97.1% had no symptoms of depression. It is thought that effective psychosocial support activities for immigrant pregnant women should be carried out in a way to cover the entire target group.

    Abstract Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the frequency of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN), its relationship with accepted risk factors and long-term renal outcomes in patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG).
    Methods: All patients who underwent CAG between April 2020 and April 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. CIN was defined as characteristic increase in serum creatinine after CAG.
    Results: CIN developed in 50 (5.4%) of 934 patients. The CIN rate was found to be statistically significantly higher in patients with diabetes, hypertension, heart failure and those using diuretics. Pre-procedural hemoglobin, albumin and GFR were found to be independent risk factors for CIN. After discharge, the urea and creatinine values of the patients who developed CIN were significantly higher than those who did not.
    Conclusion: We concluded that in order to reduce the development of CIN, hemoglobin and albumin levels should be evaluated with renal functions before the procedure and they should be kept within normal limits.

    Abstract Purpose: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition is one of the cornerstones of treatment in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Since RCC is a disease of advanced age and hypertension as a side effect of VEGF receptor inhibitors, beta-blocker use is common in these patients. We aimed to compare the treatment efficacy and survival results in case of concomitant use of these two drugs due to the inhibition of VEGF in beta-blockers.
    Methods: A total of 121 patients with a diagnosis of mRCC who used sunitinib or pazopanib in first-line therapy were included in the study. These patients were divided into two groups as those using concomitant beta-blockers and those not using them.
    Result: The median overall survival (mOS) of the patient using sunitinib or pazopanib and concomitant beta-blocker was 47 (95% CI 29.0-65.0) months, and the mOS of those not using concomitant beta-blocker was 18 (95% CI 8.9-27.1) months (p < 0.001). The median progression-free survival (mPFS) of the patients using sunitinib or pazopanib and concomitant beta-blocker was 20.4 (95% CI 4.5-40.1) months, and the mPFS of those not using it was 11.4 (95% CI 5.9-16.9) months (p = 0.042). Concomitant beta-blocker use was found to be a good prognostic factor for OS in the multivariate analysis (p = 0.029). In the multivariate analysis, concomitant beta-blocker use had a trend towards statistical significance for PFS (p = 0.062).
    Conclusion: Concomitant use of betablockers with sunitinib or pazopanib is associated with longer overall survial and progression free survival.

    Abstract Purpose: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), like other systemic inflammatory markers, has been shown to be a prognostic factor in various cancer patients. In this study, we aimed to show whether PNI calculated before adjuvant chemotherapy is a prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with lymph node-positive stage II-III gastric cancer.
    Methods: The PNI was calculated using the albumin and lymphocyte count. The PNI cut-off value was found to be 39.5. They were divided into two groups as being ≤ 39.5 (PNI low group) and > 39.5 (PNI high group).
    Results: Our study included 168 patients with lymph node-positive stage II-III gastric cancer who received adjuvant chemotherapy. Of the patients, 116 (69.0%) were 65 years or younger, and 52 (31.0%) were over 65 years old. Of the patients, 117 (69.6%) were pT3, 51 (30.4%) were pT4. Seventy-three (43.4%) patients had pN1-2 disease and 95 (56.6%) patients had pN3 disease. The number of stage II patients was 73 (43.5%) and the number of stage III patients was 95 (56.5%). There were 73 patients with PNI ≤ 39.5 and 95 patients with PNI > 39.5. The mOS of the patients with low PNI group was 39.5 months, while the OS of the patients with high PNI group was 96.8 months (p = 0.002). In the group of patients with PNI low group, mDFS 24.4 months was significantly higher than those with PNI high group was 50.7 months (p = 0.021). The PNI score was statistically significant in univariate and multivariate analyzes for both DFS and OS.
    Conclusion: PNI can be used as an independent prognostic factor for both OS and DFS in patients lymph node-positive, stage II-III gastric cancer who will receive adjuvant chemotherapy.

    Abstract In this study, it was aimed to determine of the shelter conditions and welfare levels of Anatolian Black cattle grown in two different regions of Turkey. Accordingly, welfare assessment was made at the farm level according to the Animal Needs Index (ANI 35L/2000) method, a total of 76 in Ankara and Antalya provinces. The material of the research was composed of Anatolian Black cattle farms within the scope of the Project on Conservation of Domestic Genetic Resources. According to the ANI welfare assessment method, scoring was composed of a total of 30 criteria in 5 different categories, namely, locomotion, social interaction, flooring, light air and stockmanship. In the study, the average of all farms was determined as 22.73 points in winter and 41.36 points in summer. These values were found to be 22.00 and 23.98 in winter and 40.87 and 42.20 in summer, respectively, in Ankara and Antalya provinces. As a result of the study, it was found that the opportunity for animals to go to the courtyard and pasture has positive contributions to animal welfare. Moreover, it determined that factors such as stall size, available floor area, flooring and lighting adversely affected animal welfare in winter. The ANI 35L method can be recommended to determine the welfare levels of farms that have production by traditional methods and not possible to examine many animal-based parameters.

    Abstract Aim: It is red cell distribution width (RDW) that has been reported to show an inflammatory response which has been studied recently. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the pre-treatment RDW in patients using first-line vascular endothelial growth factor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGFR TKI) with the diagnosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) predicts treatment response and is a prognostic factor or not.
    Methods: About 92 patients diagnosed with mRCC who were being treated with sunitinib or pazopanib in the first line between January 2015 and June 2021 were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups, as being ≤15.3 and >15.3, according to the RDW cut-off value calculated by ROC analysis.
    Results: The mOS of patients with a RDW of ≤15.3% was 45.0 (30.0-59.9) months, and of 21.3 (10.4-32.2) in those with a RDW of >15.3%. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). In the group of patients with a RDW of ≤15.3, median progression free survival (mPFS) (38.04 [16.3-59.7] months) was found to be significantly higher than those with a RDW of >15.3 (17.1 [11.8-22.5] months) (p = 0.04). In multivariate analysis, RDW level (≤15.3, >15.3), was determined to be prognostic markers (p = 0.022).
    Conclusion: In mRCC patients, the RDW value measured before first-line VEGFR TKI therapy is an independent prognostic marker.

    Abstract: ... topluluk olarak oldukça derinlerde gömülü bir kültürel belleğe sahiptir. Hz. Muhammed’in vefatından sonra ...

    Abstract İnsan belleği, birçok farklı yönden defalarca ele alınmış, çeşitli yorumlarla değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmacıların üzerinde durduğu temel nokta belleğin kolektif bir yapı sergilediğidir. Hatırlama bireysel bir eylemdir ancak hatırlamanın merkezi olan bellek toplumsal olarak şekillendirilir. Belleğin toplumsal olduğu yönünde görüş bildiren ilk araştırmacı M. Halbwachs’tır. Onun dışında bellekle ilgili çeşitli değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Bunlardan en dikkat çekicilerinden biri J. Assmann’ın öne sürdüğü “kültürel bellek” kuramıdır. Buna göre bellek ikiye ayrılır. İletişimsel bellek, bireyin çağdaşları ile paylaştığı anıları içerir. Bu bellek mevcut anda oluşur ve yalnızca taşıyıcıları yaşadığı sürece var olmaya devam eder. Kültürel bellek ise çok geçmiş zamana dayanır. Burada efsanevi köken tarihi ve geçmişe ait çarpıcı noktalar yer alır. Kültürel belleğin hatırlama eylemi sembolik hatırlama figürleri ile işlevsel hale gelir. Kültürel belleğin aktarımı; şaman, şair gibi özel ve seçilmiş olduğu düşünülen kişiler tarafından sağlanır. Böylece tören, ritüel gibi teatral performanslar sayesinde grubun belleği ve kimliğinin korunması hedeflenmektedir. Alevi toplumu da kendi kültürel dünyalarını oluşturmuş ve bir inanç etrafında buluşmuş bir topluluk olarak oldukça derinlerde gömülü bir kültürel belleğe sahiptir. Hz. Muhammed’in vefatından sonra yaşanan halifelik tartışmaları çerçevesinde Hz. Ali’nin ve oğullarının yaşadıkları Alevi toplumunun hafızasında acı dolu hatıralar olarak yer etmiştir. Kerbelâ olayının ise Alevi kültüründe ayrı bir yeri vardır. Kerbelâ, Alevi kültüründe acının, kederin, haksızlığın ve adaletsizliğin bir sembolü haline gelmiş, Kerbelâ ile ilişkili tüm figürler ve motifler onların kültürel belleğinde derin izlerle yer edinmişlerdir. Alevi toplumunun hafızası Kerbelâ’ya ve onun etrafında yaşanmış tüm haksızlıklarla ilgili bilgilerle doludur. Bunlar çeşitli hatırlama figürleri ile sık sık bellek yüzeyine çıkarak, geçmişin yeniden yaşanmasına, yeniden kurulmasına neden olurlar. Alevi toplumunun ...

    Abstract Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma or, as formerly called, malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a type of sarcoma which originates from fibroblast and histiocytic cells. It is the most common type of sarcoma among all soft tissue sarcomas in adults. Its most common site is the lower limb, followed by the upper limb and the retroperitoneum. It is rarely encountered on chest wall. In the differential diagnosis of masses on chest wall, it is important to consider undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma in surgical planning. In this article, we report a male case with a giant undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma located above the right scapula.
