Sjögren-Larsson syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that was originally recognized in the coexistence of congenital ichthyosis, spastic diplegia or quadriplegia and mental retardation. We recently saw two cases with characteristic features of this rare syndrome. Two brothers aged 21 and 25 years presented with triad of congenital ichthyosis, mental retardation and spastic diplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed demyelinating disease in one of these cases. Electrodiagnostic studies were normal in all cases.
ÖzAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, fiziksel aktivite, kalsiyum alımı ve sigara içiminin dahil olduğu yaşam biçimi faktörlerinin, kemik mineral yoğunluğu (KMY) üzerine etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2012 -Mayıs 2013 tarihleri arasında, yaşları 35-55 arasında değişen 335 erkek askeri personel kalkaneus KMY yönünden operatif (etkin alan askerleri) ve non-operatif (resmi ordu personeli) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı ve bu kişiler çift X-ray ve lazer Calscan ile değerlendirildi. Sigara içimi, kalsiyum alımı ve fiziksel aktivite de dahil olmak üzere yaşam tarzı faktörleri hakkındaki bilgi bir anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Operatif personel günlük düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapıyordu. Operatöre edilmiş personel, düzenli etkin saha eğitim manevrası yapmayan non-operatiflerle karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 44,7±0,5 yıl idi ve hepsi erkekti. Ortalama osteopeni ve osteoporoz oranı, non-operatif grubuna göre operatif gruptan daha düşüktü. Doğrusal regresyon KMY'nin önemli ölçüde iş (p<0,001), yaş (p<0,001), sigara içimi (p<0,01), kalsiyum alımı (p<0,05) ve fiziksel aktivite süresi (yıl; p<0,001) ile ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç: Çalışmanın bulgularına bağlı olarak, fiziksel aktivite süresi ve mekanik yükleme, kalkaneus KMY'nin en güçlü öngörücülerinden birisidir. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of life style factors including physical activity, calcium intake, and smoking on bone mineral density (BMD). Materials and Methods: From January 2012 to May 2013, calcaneal BMD of 335 male military personnel (aged between 35-55 years) in two equal separate groups; operative (active field soldiers) and non-operative (official army staff) were evaluated with dual X-ray and laser Calscan. Information about lifestyle factors including smoking, calcium intake and physical activity were collected through a questionnaire. Operative personnel had daily regular physical activity. Operatives were compared with non-operative personnel who did not perform the regular active field training maneuvers. Results: The mean age of participant was 44.7±0.5 years and all were male. The rate of osteopenia and osteoporosis was lower in operative group than in non-operative group. Linear regression revealed that BMD is significantly associated with job (p<0.001), age (p<0.001), smoking (p<0.01), calcium intake (p<0.05), and years of physical activity (p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, years of regular physical activity and mechanical loading were the strongest predictors of calcaneus BMD.
