Öz Purpose: In our study, we aimed to determine the anxiety and depression risks of patients with type 2 diabetes who have an important public health problem in the world and in Turkey and to determine the conditions related to these risks. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was performed in 636 patients with type 2 diabetes who presented to the Internal Diseases Clinic. A questionnaire form prepared by the researchers was used for sociodemographic data. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to determine the anxiety and depression risks of the patients. Results: 59.9% (n = 381) of the participants were female and 40.1% (n = 255) were male and the mean age of the whole group was 59.98 ± 11.66 years. The risk of anxiety was found in 48.4% (n = 308) of the participants and the risk of depression was found in 67.3% (n = 428). The risk of anxiety and depression was significantly higher in women aged 60 and over, in women, in primary and lower education, in housewives or retired, in patients with comorbid diseases and in those receiving insulin therapy. It was significantly lower in married and smokers. Conclusion: The risk of anxiety and depression was found to be high in patients with Type 2 diabetes. This risk was associated with age, sex, marital status, education, occupation, comorbidity and diabetes treatment. Patients with high risk for anxiety and depression should be treated with the psychiatry department.
Trombositoz sıklıkla rastlantısal olarak karşımıza çıkan ancak ayırıcı tanısı önemli olan bir bulgudur. Modern hematoloji analizatörleri güvenilir tam kan sayımı sağlasa da; mikrositler, mikrosferositler, parçalanmış eritrositler, parçalanmış lökositler, lipid damlacıkları ve bakteriler varlığında otomatik trombosit sayımı için ciddi zorluklar oluşturur. Böyle durumlarda trombosit sayısını değerlendirmede periferik yayma önem kazanmaktadır. Makalemizde alfa talasemi taşıyıcılığına bağlı yalancı trombositoz görülen olgumuzu sunduk.
