Objective:To investigate relationships between spontaneous abortion and complete blood count inflammation markers and their role in predicting spontaneous abortion.Methods:This study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology between January 2012 and January 2017. A total of 570 participants, 325 diagnosed with spontaneous abortion and 245 control patients who underwent timely births were included into our study. The complete blood count inflammation markers included white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil (N), lymphocyte (L), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio level (PLR) were recorded.Results:There was difference between the abortion groups and control groups in terms of complete blood count (CBC) inflammation markers, including WBC, PLT, neutrophil, lymphocyte, NLR, PLR, and MPV. We found decreased MPV, PLR levels and increased N, L and NLR in the first. and second. Abortion groups compared with the control group. WBC, N, L and NLR were positive predictive markers, and albeit with low sensitivity and specificity, MPV, PLR were found to be a negative predictive marker for the evaluation of spontaneous abortionConclusions:Unlike several difficult and invasive tests, a CBC is a simple, inexpensive and easily available test. CBC inflammation markers, including WBC, N, L, NLR, PLR, and MPV, which were evaluated at the sixth gestational week, can be used for the risk assessment of spontaneous abortion in pregnancy.
Aim: The study aims to ensure that people receive professional and permanent preventive healthcare services in the light of current technology in the case of cancer, increase the awareness about cancer screenings, and activate effectively informed decision-making mechanisms. Methods: We developed a mobile application contains basic information about cancers, screening methods and periods. Individuals downloaded the application, received reminders to have their examinations according to the national cancer-screening program for breast, cervical, and colon cancers. The data used belongs to the individuals who downloaded the app between August and December 2019 and filled out the questionnaire we prepared in the app. Results: The mobile application was downloaded 1050 times where, there were 539 registrations in the application, and the number of completes questionnaires is 344. There were 142 (26.3%) men and 397 (73.7%) women. The mean age was 33.3 ± 11.5. Health care workers and teachers found the application significantly more beneficial to promote cancer screening (p = 0.002). Ages and professions of the participants significantly associated with their opinions regarding the application completed their knowledge gaps and considering continue to use the application (p <0.0001, p = 0.02), (p = 0.04, p = 0.01). Prospects for recommending the application differed significantly with age, body mass index, and profession (p = 0.01, p = 0.02, p = 0.01) Conclusion: Awareness should be increased about cancer screening practices within the scope of primary prevention. Information and warnings should be carried out regularly to ensure that examinations and investigations are done on time. Applications should be developed under the leadership of the Ministry of Health and must be ensured to be reached to more people.
Objective Type D personality, defined as the presence of two personality characters -negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI), is associated with various disorders. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between Type D personality and premenstruel syndrome (PMS). Material and Methods A total of 286 female (86 with PMS and 200 control) were recruited for the study. The mean age of the participants was 21.28 ± 0.12 years. Data were obtained from the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-21) and Type D Personality Scale (DS14). SPSS 22 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) program was used to evaluate the data. Statistical significance level was accepted as p
