Öğe Quality of Life and Depression in the Individuals Above 65 Years Old Cross-Sectional Study in Altindag Neighborhood of Izmir City(Asia Pacific League Clinical Gerontology & Geriatrics, 2023) Yasli, Gokben; Turhan, Ebru; Kiziloglu, Fulya; Kabanli, AysegulBackground/Purpose: The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between the quality of life and depression in the elderly individuals above 65 years old in Altindag Neighborhood in Bornova County of Izmir. Methods: A cross sectional study was performed in Altindag, Izmir Province. A sample was selected from individuals over 65 years of age (n=609) registered with two family physicians. The number of people that should be reached by the EPI INFO 2007 program was calculated as 230 people based on the previous studies with a prevalence of 40%, sample errors of 5%, and a confidence interval of 95%. The questionnaire was applied face-to-face to 230 elderly people who applied to a family health center to receive any health service, agreed to participate in the study, and were selected by a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using the questionnaire developed by the investigators, WHOQOL-OLD Scale developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and consisting of 6 domains, and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent groups, correlation test, and logistic regression were used for the statistical evaluation. Results: Mean age of the participants was 73.6 +/- 6.2 years (range: 65-91 years). According to the Geriatric Depression Scale, 35.2% of the participants (n=81) had depression symptoms (n=81). It was found that depressive signs were more common in the female participants and in the participants with a low level of education, low level of income who was retired, and who had divorced, never married, or whose spouse died. It was found that rate of observing depressive signs were 3.24 folds higher in the unemployed participants. There was a negative correlation between the quality of life sub-scores and depression. There was a strong negative relationship between sensory abilities, death, and dying sub-scores. Autonomy, social participation, intimacy, total score averages, and depression score averages were found to be moderately negative. Conclusion: This study found a significant association between severity of depression and poorer QOL. However, depression was not associated with death and dying. It is important to improve quality of life and strengthen family and social relationships of the individual as preventive strategies against depression in the elderly people.

Correction of dorsal tilt and radial height is essential to restore normal biomechanics of the wrist joint. Comprehensive knowledge of the morphometry of the distal radius of the local population becomes critical for the treating surgeon. This study aims to report the morphometry of the distal radius in the Anatolian population and compare it with similar studies in other races and humans. Radiographs of one hundred and twenty-four people were included in the study. Four radiological parameters were examined on all radiographs: radial height, radial tilt, ulnar variance, and palmar tilt. Radial tilt was 23.35 degrees +/- 1.96; palmar tilt was 15.7 degrees +/- 2,87 radial height (mm) was 10.55 +/- 4.34, ulnar variance (mm) was 0.32 +/- 1.79. The highest rate of negative ulnar variance was found. According to the study's results, reference data varying by race for anatomical fit should be considered in treating DER injuries.Öğe Radiologıcal Evaluation of Volar Cortical Angle in the Anatolian Population(Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2023) Nalbant, Asrin; Ismailoglu, Eren; Turhan, Ebru; Duygu, Ozden BedreDistal radius fractures are the most common fractures of the upper limb. The most commonly used method in the repair of these fractures is volar locking plates. Recently, the frequency of removal of volar locking plates after surgery has increased. There are many factors in its reduction. Anatomically, incompatibility of the distal end of the radius with volar locking plates is one of them. In previous studies, different volar cortical angle (VCA) values were found in other races. For this reason, this study aimed to determine the mean values by making VCA measurements of the Anatolian population. The study was designed retrospectively. In the study, measurements were made on computed tomography (CT) images of the distal end of the radius of 53 men and 28 women. Radial width, intermediate volar angle, and radial volar angle were measured in the images. On average, the radius width was 23.35 +/- 1.96 mm, and the intermediate volar angle was 26.02 +/- 3.83(degrees), radial volar angle was 24 +/- 3.07(degrees). Radial width, intermediate volar angle, and radial volar angle differed significantly by gender (p<0.001). A significant correlation was found between radius width, intermediate volar angle, and radial volar angle values (p<0.001). It has been determined that the Anatolian population has a different VCA value than the European, Asian, and other populations. When using volar locking plates in distal radius fracture surgery, volar locking plates should be selected by considering the average values of the races.Öğe Thought, Attitudes, and Practices of the Anatomy Departments on Receiving and Embalming Cadavers During the Pandemic Process(Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2022) Uzuner, Muhammet Bora; Nalbant, Asrin; Geneci, Ferhat; Turhan, EbruDuring the Covid-19 pandemic that has marked the last years, while governments tried to control the spread of the virus, many-body donation programs were suspended due to difficulties that could potentially be encountered. Given the low body donation acceptance rates during this period, through this study we aimed to evaluate academics' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors in cadaver acceptance and embalming practices during the pandemic. The research population of thestudy consisted of the faculty of 112 universities in Turkey who taught in under graduate and graduate programs in the Anatomy Department in 2020. An electronic questionnaire of 24 items, including demographic data, was distributed to the participants' official e-mail addresses. In addition, support was received from the Turkish Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy Society, whose members were also approached through their official group e-mail accounts. Answers were collected from 78 (39 %) out of 200 academics. The findings of the study were under 5 headings (information about cadaver donation and imported cadavers, attitude towards importation of cadavers and acceptance of body donations, precautions against contagion in importation of cadavers and acceptance of body donations and thoughts on their adequacy, considerations for adoption of cadavers for post-graduation education, advice on avoiding contagion in cadaver embalming) were collected and analyzed. The study high lights the importance of cadaver acceptance and embalming practices for medical education to minimally continue in the post-pandemic period. It can also serve as a reference for being cautious when faced with similar situations in the future.
