The deterministic model consisted of age, gender, BMI, height, weight, handgrip strength, gait speed, RAPA-aerobic and vitamin D. For LS dependent variable, the overall model was significant (F10.149, p<0.001). However, only two variables were significant predictors in the model ie. weight (β0.389, p<0.001) and handgrip strength (β=0.186, p<0.001). Similarly for independent variable of FN, the overall model was significant (F6.525, p<0.001) and only two variables were significant predictors weight (β0.371, p<0.001) and RAPA-Aerobic (β0.148, p0.009).

Lower levels of body weight, participation in aerobic activity and handgrip strength might be risk factors for deterioration of bone health in older adults.

In this study we aimed to examine and compare the stress levels and the factors affecting stress levels of physicians working in Emergency Medicine (EM) and Internal Medicine (IM) Departments.

This is a cross-sectional study performed in a research and training hospital. The study population consisted of 39 physicians. Professional Life Stress Scale (PLSS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II) were used.

Thirty-nine physicians (female 56.4%; mean age 32.6±6.8 years) included in analysis. They were from EM (n=19; 48.7%), and IM (n=20; 51.3%). Twenty-six (66.7%) participants had a score of 16-30 points indicating a moderate degree of stress in their professional life. The BAI and BDI scores of the participants ranged from 0 to 36 (mean, 8.4±8.9) and 0 to 29 (mean, 7.6±5.9), respectively, which indicated that the participants were below the psychopathological limits in terms of anxiety and depressive symptoms. AAQ-II scores were found to be significantly lower in emergency physicians (p=0.049) indicating that they had a lower level of experiential avoidance than others. Selleckchem PF-07104091 Also, AAQ-II scores were found significantly lower in those who had children (p=0.028).

Working in EM departments for longer periods is associated with higher stress levels while increases the ability to cope with stress. Our study shows that having children is related with decrease in experiential avoidance, hence higher levels of psychological flexibility. Any significant differences were not found between the groups in terms of PLSS, BAI and BDI scores.

To compare maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnancies complicated and not complicated with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) necessitating hospitalization.

A total of 386 women with singleton deliveries between March 2015 and January 2018 were included in this retrospective single-center study. Of 386 women, 186 women (mean±SD age 30.7±5.9 years) who were hospitalized with HG within the first 20 weeks of gestation comprised the hyperemetic pregnancy group, while 200 women without HG during pregnancy served as a control group.

No significant difference was noted between the HG and control groups in terms of maternal characteristics, gestational age (median 38.6 and 39.0 weeks, respectively), type of delivery (normal spontaneous delivery in 78.0% vs 80.0%), fetal gender (female 53.2% vs 48.5%), birthweight (median 3250 g vs 3275 g) and 5-min APGAR scores (≥7 in 97.3% vs 97.5%, respectively). Adverse pregnancy outcomes were also similar between groups including preterm birth (8.1% vs 11.0%, respectively), SGA (5.9% vs 9.5%), hypertensive disorder (5.4% vs 7.5%), placental abruption (1.1% vs 0.5%,), stillbirth (0.0% vs 0.5%) and GDM (3.8%vs 2.5%). Weight loss during pregnancy was evident in 91.3% of women in the HG group, while none of women in the control group had weight loss during pregnancy (p<0.001).

The findings of this study indicate that HG may not be related with adverse fetal and prenatal outcomes and this conclusion needs to be clarified with large-scale investigations.

The goal of the study was to verify the efficacy and safety of topical medical treatment in idiopathic recurrent pediatric epistaxis patients by intranasal usage of both an antimicrobial and a moisturizing agent as a first-step management modality.

Sixty-seven out of 326 pediatric patients with idiopathic recurrent epistaxis selected on a chart review of follow-up were enrolled in the study. The study was designed as an analysis of two groups one group included 35 individuals (52.2% of the total cohort) having a hyperemic nasal mucosa and the second group included 32 individuals (47.8% of the total cohort) having a hypervascular nasal mucosa on physical examination before treatment.

The study was performed with a total of 67 children (age range 3-17 years) including 36 males (53.7% of total cohort) and 31 females (46.3% of total cohort). The mean age was 9.78±4.09 years. There was not any statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age, duration of follow-up and recurrence time of epistaxis (p>0.05). Recurrence of epistaxis was seen in 22.9% (8/35) of hyperemic nasal mucosa group and in 34.4% (11/32) of hypervascular nasal mucosa group (p>0.05).

We advise the use of both an intranasal antimicrobial ointment and a mucosal moisturizing gel as an effective, noninvasive and easily applicable medical treatment option for pediatric patients with idiopathic recurrent epistaxis before more invasive methods of epistaxis control.
