Öğe Comparison of Parkinson?s patients with and without COVID-19 in terms of prognosis(Asean Neurological Assoc, 2023) Eren, Fettah; Dikmen, Yagizhan; Gur, Merve Nur; Ekmekci, Ahmet Hakan; Sumer, Sua; Ozturk, SerefnurBackground & Objectives: This study aimed to compare PD patients with and without COVID-19 and to evaluate the associated factors about prognosis.Methods: The data of 37 hospitalized PD patients associated with COVID-19 pneumonia were evaluated. It was compared with the data of 40 PD patients who did not have COVID-19 in the same period. Clinical findings, prognosis, mortality and other related factors were compared in PD patients with and without COVID-19.Results: Hypertension was higher comorbid disease in PD patients with COVID-19 (p = 0.005). The duration of PD was longer in patients without COVID-19 disease (6.02 +/- 2.80 vs 5.08 +/- 4.59) (p = 0.028). In PD patients with COVID-19, the most common symptoms were myalgia-arthralgia (73.0%) and fatigue (48.6%). Intensive care was required in 17 (45.9%) patients, and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was required in 9 (24.3%) patients. The in-hospital mortality rate was 29.7% (n = 11). Mortality and IMV requirement were higher in patients whose initial symptom was diarrhea (p = 0.004, p = 0.008, respectively). No correlation was detected between PD stage, treatment options and prognosis (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Mortality rate and IMV requirement are higher in PD patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, particularly in patients with initial symptoms of diarrhea. These patients should be followed more carefully in terms of probable poor prognosis.Öğe Lifestyle and Chronic Constipation in Medical Students(Hindawi Ltd, 2021) Yildirim, Mehmet Aykut; Cakir, Murat; Bicer, Mehmet; Senturk, Mustafa; Yonar, Harun; Gur, Merve Nur; Akiner, Zeliha NurAim. Constipation is one of the most common complaints of the digestive system indicated with an increase in defecation frequency, difficulty in defecation, and hard and strained defecation. Environmental, personal, and genetic factors may be affecting constipation although the affecting factors have not yet been thoroughly explained. The aim of this study was to investigate constipation frequency and lifestyles in medical students. Method. The population was selected among medical students for the study, which was planned as a survey study. Demographic data of all the participants and the factors suggested to affect constipation were questioned and analyzed. Results. The study covered a total of 425 medical students. Among the students reporting constipation, 2.86% were in their first year of medical school, while 7.53% were in the third year and 9.09% were in the sixth year. The rate of students reporting constipation and familial history was statistically significant. While regular eating habits were reported in the first and third years, this rate was much lower in the sixth year group working at clinical departments. The results of our study did not reveal any significant relationship between daily intake of water and constipation. There was, however, a significant relationship between stress and constipation. Conclusion. The results of our study showed that medical education did not curb constipation frequency. We believe that stress is significant in constipation. The data we collected indicate that regular eating habits and excess liquid intake are not as effective as suggested in the treatment of constipation.
