    A Bibliometric Study On Covid-19 and Autopsy
    (Bandırma Onyedi Eylül Üniversitesi, 2022) Meral, Orhan; Kaya, Ahsen; Aktaş, Ekin
    Introduction The aim of our study is to make a bibliometric analysis of the articles published in the journals scanned in the Web of Science database, which is the autopsy studies performed on the dead in the Covid-19 pandemic, which causes high morbidity and mortality and affects the whole world. Methods The articles published between December 2019 and September 2022, when the Covid-19 disease was first detected in the world; The year of publication, the country of publication, the names of the authors in the articles, the institutions of the authors, the journals in which the articles were published, and the number of publications according to their categories in the WoS database were examined retrospectively. A bibliometric analysis of the obtained data was performed. Results Within the scope of the study, 543 articles were found, which includes the keywords covid and autopsy.

A bibliometric analysis of the obtained data was performed. Results Within the scope of the study, 543 articles were found, which includes the keywords covid and autopsy. It was determined that a total of 25,318 citations were made to these works and the H index was 66. It was determined that the articles were published most frequently (n=290, 53.4%) in 2021, the majority of them (n=522, 96.1%) were written using English, and the USA (n=175, 22.9%) came first among the countries published. Conclusion In this study; a bibliometric analysis was conducted in which the scientific efficiency of all the elements involved in scientific research activities, especially countries, journals and authors, were revealed. In the light of the data obtained, we believe that awareness of the articles published on autopsies of death cases due to Covid-19 disease will increase.,318 citations were made to these works and the H index was 66.

    Estimation of sex from computed tomography images of skull measurements in an adult Turkish population
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2021) Meral, Orhan; Meydan, Reyhan; Toklu, Belkis Betül; Kaya, Ahsen; Karadayı, Beytullah; Acar, Türker
    Background Nowadays, data on the anthropometric measurements of populations is needed in many areas, especially forensic and legal. Using various methods, researchers obtain various data such as race, sex, and age, and thus provide identification of the material used. Morphological or metric methods are often used for identification. Purpose To evaluate the usefulness of the results of skull measurements using computed tomography (CT) to determine sex in a Turkish population. Material and Methods We analyzed 300 male and 300 female CT images of Turkish individuals with an age range of 21-50 years. Maximum cranial length, maximum cranial breadth, bimastoid diameter, bizygomatic diameter, and bigonial breadth were measured by CT tomography. All data were subjected to discriminant function analyses for estimating sex. Intra-observer and inter-observer variances of the measurements were examined using intraclass correlation coefficient analysis. Results Discriminant function analysis indicated that there was a significant difference between male and female with 88% accuracy. Discriminant function for estimation of sex was obtained with satisfactory accuracy rates for the parameters used. Conclusion This study confirms that skull measurements show sexual dimorphism in the Turkish population, and also suggests that it may be useful to use CT to assess skull anthropometric measurements.

    Forensic cases in the operating room: Knowledge and practices of physicians and nurses
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2020) Özsaker, Esma; Kaya, Ahsen; Alcan, Aliye Okgün; van Giersbergen, Meryem Yavuz; Aktas, Ekin Özgür
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate physicians' and nurses' knowledge and practices regarding forensic cases in the operating room. Design: This is a descriptive study. Methods: The sample consisted of 139 physicians and 59 nurses working in the operating rooms of a university hospital. Data were collected via a question form prepared by the researchers. Findings: Approximately half of the physicians and nurses did not know whether a patient brought to the operating room was a forensic case. Most of the physicians and nurses working in the operating room felt their knowledge and practice regarding the preservation and storage of evidence in forensic cases was inadequate. Conclusions: The results of this study highlight the necessity of an increased focus on forensic case process. (c) 2019 American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses. Published by Elsevier, Inc.

    Sexing from the orbital measurements using computed tomography images and discriminant function analysis in Turkish population
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Meral, Orhan; Toklu, Belkıs Betül; Meydan, Reyhan; Kaya, Ahsen; Karadayı, Beytullah; Acar, Türker
    The main goal of identification in forensic sciences is to estimate characteristics such as sex, age, stature, and ancestry. One of the regions of the human skeleton that most clearly shows sexual dimorphism is the skull. This study aims to evaluate whether the orbital dimensions could be used for sex estimation using Computed Tomography. We examined the orbital measurements of adult Turkish individuals (300 males and 300 females) aged 21-50. We measured Orbital Width, Orbital Height, Biorbital Breadth, and Interocular Breadth by Computed Tomography. The data of the variables showed a normal distribution; therefore, functions of uni/multivariate variables were obtained using Discriminant Function Analysis. Using Discriminant Function Analysis, a significant difference between men and women was determined with an accuracy of 73%. The orbital measurements of the adult Turkish population showed limited forensic significance for sex estimation. Conversely, their potential for examining the interpopulation and intrapopulation differences have been shown.
