Article Can Serum Biomarker Values from Second-Trimester Aneuploidy Screening Predict the development of Retinopathy of Prematurity in Premature Infants?(Kare Publishing, 2024) Sabanci, S.; Savaş, Hasan Basri; Kucuk, M.F.; Savas, H.B.; Suren, E.; Erol, M.K.; Yavuz, A.; Sipahioglu, H.; Department of Basic Medical Sciences / Temel Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; 10. Faculty of Medicine / Tıp Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiObjectives: This study aimed to evaluate serum biomarker values measured during second-trimester aneuploidy screening in terms of their predictive ability for the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature infants. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the data of 1985 idiopathic premature infants who underwent ROP screening from 2016 to 2022. The infants were divided into two groups according to the presence of ROP, and those with ROP were further evaluated in two subgroups based on the presence of proliferation. Comparisons were made concerning the serum multiple of the median values of unconjugated estriol (uE3), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) among aneuploidy screening biomarkers. Results: While 1628 premature infants were in the non-ROP group, 357 were in the ROP group. Of the infants with ROP, 72 were in the proliferative ROP group and 285 in the non-proliferative ROP group. There was no significant difference in the multiple of the median values of the evaluated serum biomarkers (uE3, hCG, and AFP) between the ROP and non-ROP groups or between the proliferative ROP, non-proliferative ROP, and non-ROP groups. Conclusion: The multiple of the median values of second-trimester aneuploidy screening serum biomarkers were not able to predict the development of ROP in premature infants. This result may have been caused by the fact that the blood tests were taken only once and in the same weeks. © 2024 Kare Publishing.

Department of Social Services/ Sosyal Hizmet Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiPurpose: The study aimed to determine body image and levels after surgery in cornea transplant patients. Materials and methods: The population of this cross-sectional study was composed of 383 patients presented to the Eye Bank unit of a University Hospital after corneal transplantation. Sample size of 193 patients was calculated with 0.5 power, a margin of error of 5%, representing 95% of the universe. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the patients by the researcher and the study was completed with 178 patients in September - November 2022. The data were collected using a Patient Information Form, the Body Image Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Parametric tests, Pearson Correlation, Student's T-test, and One-Way Analysis of Variance tests were performed were used in the data analysis. Results: It was determined that the mean Body Image Scale score of the transplant patients participating in the study was 159.41 ± 36.99 and the mean Self-Efficacy Scale score was 30.37±8.31. When the comparison of the mean scores was examined, the difference between the mean scores of gender, marital status, occupation, and body image scale was statistically significant (P < .05), while the difference between the self-efficacy mean scores was not statistically significant (P > .05). There was a positive, moderately strong significant relationship between body image and the self-efficacy of the patients (P < .01) (r = .57) Conclusion: It was found that the patient's body image and self-efficacy levels were high, and self-efficacy increased as the body image increased. © 2023 Elsevier España, S.L.U.Letter The Naples Prognostic Score in TAVI Patients: a Promising Tool Requiring Further Validation.

Faculty of Medicine / Tıp Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiArticle A Novel Determinant of Prognosis in Acute Pulmonary Edema: Intermountain Risk Score(Kare Publ, 2024) Aktan, Adem; Aktan, Adem; Guzel, Tuncay; Kaya, Ahmet Ferhat; Guzel, Hamdullah; Arslan, Bayram; Cankaya, Yusuf; Department of Internal Medical Sciences / Dahili Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; 10. Faculty of Medicine / Tıp Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiObjective: The Intermountain Risk Score (IMRS), calculated using age, gender, complete blood count (CBC), and simple laboratory analyses, is an easy-to-use and cost-effective tool developed to predict mortality. In our study, we aimed to determine whether the IMRS could predict mortality in patients admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of acute pulmonary edema. Methods: A total of 371 patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of pulmonary edema, were included in our study. The IMRS of the patients was determined using a calculation tool, and the patients were divided into three groups based on the determined value: low, moderate, and high IMRS. Results: The patients included in our study comprised 208 women and 163 men, with an average age of 68.7 years. There was a statistically significant difference between the patient groups concerning both 1-month and 1-year mortality rates. Additionally, there was a significant difference in IMRS between patients who developed in-hospital, 1-month, and 1-year mortality and those who survived. In the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis, a cutoff value of 15.5 for the IMRS predicted both 1-year and 1-month mortality. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the highest mortality risk was observed in the high IMRS group and the lowest mortality risk in the low IMRS group. Conclusion: Our research results show that the IMRS strongly predicts both short-term and long-term mortality in patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of acute pulmonary edema.Article Citation - WoS: 1Pelvic floor muscle strength and dysfunctions in women with pes planus: A case-control study(Churchill Livingstone, 2024) Yardımcı, Fatma Betül; Yardimci, F.B.; Altay, H.; 09.04. Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation/ Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiBackground/aim: Distal extremity misalignment may give rise to pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFDs). This study aimed to compare pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) and dysfunctions in women with and without pes planus. Materials and methods: Women with (pes planus group, n = 30) and without pes planus (control group, n = 30) were included. The presence of PFDs questioned. Pes planus with the Feiss Line Test, PFMS with the Modified Oxford Scale, and the severity of PFDs with the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20), including three subscales (Pelvic Organ Distress Inventory-6 (POPDI-6) for pelvic organ prolapse, Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory-8 (CRADI-8) for colorecto-anal symptoms, and Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) for urinary symptoms, were assessed. Results: It was seen that no difference was found between groups in terms of PFMS (p > 0.05). However, urinary incontinence and anal incontinence were higher in women with pes planus than in women without pes planus (p < 0.05). Only the PFDI-20, CRADI-8, and UDI-6 scores were higher in women with pes planus compared to controls (p < 0.05). There was no difference was found between groups in terms of POPDI-6 scores (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The PFMS did not change according to the presence of pes planus. However, the prevalence of PFDs and their severity were higher in women with pes planus in comparison to controls. Posture assessments of individuals with PFDs, especially examination of foot posture, and pelvic floor assessments of individuals with posture disorders should be considered. © 2024Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4The Performance of the Naples Prognostic Score in Predicting One-Year Mortality and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis(Polish Cardiac Soc, 2025) Aktan, Adem; Guzel, Tuncay; Kis, Mehmet; Coskun, Ferhat; Isik, Mehmet Ali; Aktan, Adem; Ertas, Faruk; Department of Internal Medical Sciences / Dahili Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; 10. Faculty of Medicine / Tıp Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiBackground: Existing risk scores for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) may not fully capture patient complexity. Combining nutritional and inflammatory markers, the NPS (the NAPLES prognostic score) might improve outcome prediction. Aims: This study investigated the associations of the NPS with one-year mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in TAVI patients. Material and methods:This retrospective analysis included 222 patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVI. The NPS was calculated based on the serum alb & uuml;min concentration, cholesterol concentration, lymphocyte/monocyte ratio, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio. The patients were subsequently categorized into two groups: the low-NPS group (NPS 0-2) and the high-NPS group (NPS 3-4). Results: A high NPS was significantly associated with increased one-year mortality (4.8% vs. 23.7%; P <0.001) and MACE rates (7.2% vs. 35.9%; P <0.001). Cox regression analysis demonstrated that a high NPS was an independent predictor of both mortality (HR, 5.94; 95% CI, 2.03-17.37; P = 0.001) and MACEs (HR, 5.09; 95% CI, 2.15-12.02; P <0.001). Conclusions: The NPS emerged as a potential predictor of long-term mortality and MACEs in TAVI patients. Further validation through larger, multicenter, studies is warranted.This research contributes valuable data on the role of the NPS in TAVI risk stratification.Article Psychological Resilience and Trait Anxiety as Mediators in the Relationship Between Perceived Family Social Support and Life Satisfaction Among Youth(Taylor & Francis inc, 2025) Aslan, Yavuz; Aslan, Yavuz; Bezirkan, Havva Sena; 09.05. Department of Child Development / Çocuk Gelişimi Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiPurposeThis study examines the impact of perceived family social support on youth life satisfaction, focusing on the mediating roles of psychological resilience and trait anxiety.Materials and methodsA cross-sectional quantitative research design was employed, collecting data from 626 participants via an online survey. A convenience sampling method was used. Analyses, including confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) path analysis, were conducted using SPSS 24 and AMOS 24 softwareResultsThe findings indicate that perceived family social support positively influences psychological resilience and life satisfaction while reducing trait anxiety. Psychological resilience lowers trait anxiety; however, its direct effect on life satisfaction is insignificant. Trait anxiety, on the other hand, negatively affects life satisfaction and acts as a mediator between perceived family social support and life satisfaction. Additionally, psychological resilience plays an indirect role in the effect of perceived family social support on life satisfaction through trait anxiety.DiscussionThe results suggest that perceived family support enhances resilience and reduces anxiety among youth, contributing to greater life satisfaction. These findings underscore the complex interplay between these variables and highlight the mediating roles of psychological resilience and trait anxiety.ConclusionThis study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that perceived family support enhances life satisfaction by strengthening psychological resilience and reducing trait anxiety. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of fostering family-based support systems to promote youth well-being.
