Öğe An Approach to Thorax Morphometry with New Reference Values: A Morphological Study(2024) DOGAN, Zumrut; Zencirci, Büşra; Yüzer, Muhammed Emre; PEKMEZ, HIDIR; Baykan, Ali HaydarAim: Radiological evaluation is frequently used in the evaluation of healthy individuals or patients. When performing radiological evaluations, certain anatomical reference regions and values must be known in order to discover anomalies or variations. In this study, it was aimed to bring new anatomical reference values, which have not been studied before, to the literature and clinical evaluation. Material and Method: This is a retrospective study that examines the patient archives in the Department of Radiology of Adıyaman University Training and Research Hospital. 57 women, 55 men, a total of 112 cases (age range 0-50 years) were included in the study. By using radiological measurements with Computed Tomography (CT); Manubrio-Sternal Angle (MSA), Manubrio-Vertebral Distance (MVD), Xipho-Vertebral Distance (XVD), Manubrio-Xiphoid Distance (MXD) were measured. Results: When the measurements were evaluated statistically, there was a significant gender difference in Louis angle (SA) and MVD values of the individuals participating in the study; There was a significant age-related difference in MXD and XVD values. Conclusion: With this study, some morphometric measurements of the thorax cavity are presented. It will contribute to the literature in determining the normal reference values of the thorax and adjacent structures. Knowing the normal anatomical structure in the clinic will contribute to the physician in the differentiation of pathologies, diagnosis.Öğe Comparison of online, face-to-face and video-based teaching methods in anatomy education of medical faculty students(2023) Arpacı, Muhammed; Uzun, Gökçe Bağcı; DENIZ, Mine ARGALI; PEKMEZ, HIDIRThere are many opinions on the effectiveness of the methods used in anatomy education. The aim of the study is to determine the superiority of online, video- based, and face-to-face education methods over each other. A total of 80 students, 41 female, and 39 male, participated at Malatya Turgut Özal University Faculty of Medicine to study. A questionnaire consisting of 20 questions, seven questions questioning demographic information and internet activity, and 13 queries about anatomy education was applied by online submission. The students consider that video-recorded education is effective in terms of time management with %75, three-dimensional digital resources are effective with 47.5%, more concentrated in face-to-face education than online education with 48.8%, face-to-face education is sufficient in professionality in medical applications with 58.8%. The students stated that both face-to-face and video-recorded education were effective at a high rate, with 73.8%. In addition, anatomy lectures should be based on theory and practice, and face-to-face&video-recorded education to be together with practical education 70%. The correlation results demonstrate that the benefit of teaching method, concentration, and benefit on professionality have the highest level of correlation with other educational landmarks. Face to face method is effective in concentration and community, and the video-recorded education method is effective in time management in anatomy education. Therefore both face-to-face and video-based education called the hybrid education method, is effective in anatomy education.Öğe Effects of different measurements of foot angle on vital activities of hemodialysis patients(2023) Özbay, Zeynep; PEKMEZ, HIDIR; İnceoğlu, Feyza; Arpacı, Muhammed; aydın, merve; Pembegul, Irem; Aladag, MuratAim: Individuals who receive hemodialysis treatment due to chronic renal failure have limitations in their daily lives and a decrease in physical activity and walking speed. In this study, we have investigated the effectiveness of various measurements of ankle angles of hemodialysis performed on patients on balance, falling risk, and daily life activities. Materials and Methods: 114 volunteer hemodialysis patients with a mean age of 30-94 have measured at the position of plantar flexion, inversion, and eversion by a 1-degree sensitivity manual goniometer. The Time Up and Go test (TUG), Lawton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale and Barthel Index (BI) were applied to the patients. Statistical analyses were made with the SPSS 25 program. Results: 55 male and 59 female participants were accompanied in the study. The average age was 62.8 ± 15.29, the average hemodialysis duration was 5.59 ± 3.92, the average body mass index was 5.08 ± 5.1 and he average number of falls was 5.59 ± 3.92. A low positive significant correlation was observed between plantar flexion and inversion foot angle measurements with The Lawton and Brody IADL scale (p<0,05). A low-level significant positive correlation was observed between the BI score and the plantar flexion angle measurements (p<0.05). A highly significant positive correlation was observed between plantar flexion angle measurement and inversion angle measurement. In contrast, a moderately significant positive correlation was observed between plantar flexion angle measurement and eversion angle measurement (p<0.05). Conclusion: We observed a decrease in daily life activities and a walking speed increase in falling risk in the diagnosis of chronic renal failure in hemodialysis patients.Öğe Evaluation of volume measurements of neuroanatomical structures related to speech in multiple sclerosis patients(2024) PEKMEZ, HIDIR; Altıparmak, Anıl; İnceoğlu, Feyza; Akçiçek, Mehmet; Bolayir, Asli; Özbay, Zeynep; aydın, merveBackground/aim: Individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) may experience various speech-related issues, including decreased speech rate, increased pauses, and changes in speech rhythms. The purpose of this study was to compare the volumes of speech-related neuroanatomical structures in MS patients with those in a control group. Materials and methods: The research was conducted in the Neurology and Radiology Departments of Malatya Training and Research Hospital. The records of patients who presented to the Neurology Department between 2019 and 2022 were examined. The study included the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 100 individuals, with 50 in the control group and 50 patients with MS, who had applied to the hospital in the specified years. VolBrain is a free system that works automatically over the internet (http://volbrain. upv.es/), enabling the measurement of brain volumes without human interaction. The acquired images were analyzed using the VolBrain program. Results: As a result of our research, a significant decrease was found in the volume of 18 of 26 speech-related regions in MS patients. It was determined that whole brain volumes decreased in the MS group compared to the control group. Conclusion: In our study, volume measurements of more speech-related areas were performed, unlike the few related studies previously conducted. We observed significant atrophy findings in the speech-related areas of the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes of MS patients.Öğe Impact of black carrot juice on acrylamide-induced structural alterations in rats' testicles(2025) PEKMEZ, HIDIR; ESEN, Gülru; yalçın, alper; TÜRK, AHMET; CETIN, Seda; Yanılmaz, Elif; KAYA, AnılAim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the deleterious effects of acrylamide on rat testicular tissue and to determine how these effects might vary in response to black carrot juice. Materials and Methods: Four groups of adult male Wistar albino rats were formed: Control, Acrylamide, Black carrot juice and Acrylamide + Black carrot juice. For 30 days, 20 mg/kg acrylamide dose was administered intraperitoneally and 4 mg/kg black carrot juice dose was administered orally every second day. Results: Malondialdehyde and glutathione S-transferase levels rose in the acrylamide group relative to the control group, whereas the levels of the enzymes glutathione and carboxylesterase dropped. Malondialdehyde and glutathione S-transferase levels were lower in the acrylamide+black carrot juice group than in the acrylamide group, whereas glutathione and carboxylesterase enzyme activity levels were higher. Conclusion: Lipid peroxidation was discovered as a result of acrylamide’s detrimental effects on the antioxidant enzyme system. It was observed that black carrot juice had positive effects.Öğe Investigation of the Effects of Smartphone Use on the Dominant Thumb and Wrist of University Students(2023) Altıparmak, Anıl; Arpacı, Muhammed; aydın, merve; İnceoğlu, Feyza; PEKMEZ, HIDIRAim: In this study, the effects of the addiction level of smartphone use in university students on the range of motion and proprioception of the dominant hand, wrist range of motion (ROM), and thumb ROM were investigated. Material and Methods: Wrist and thumb ROMs were measured with a manual goniometer with a sensitivity of 1 degree, and hand grip strength was measured with a hand grip dynamometer in a total of 100 volunteer university students with a mean age of 18-25. Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS-SF) and Patient Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE) questionnaire were applied to the students. Statistical analyzes were made using the SPSS 25 program. Results: The students’ usage time of smartphones and addiction levels do not affect the hand grip strength; the increase in smartphone addiction statistically correlates with the right thumb flexion (0.016) and abduction ROMs (0.015), statistically correlated with increased pain level in daily life and statistically correlated with the decrease of the wrist radial deviation ROM (0.009). As the duration of smartphone use increases, the error rate in right thumb abduction proprioception statistically increases (0.027). In addition, we determined the statistically correlations in both thumb flexion and abduction movements. Conclusion: We determined that the excessive usage of smartphones affects the ROM of thumb flexion and abduction, the ROM of wrist radial deviation, and the proprioception of thumb abduction, and it does not affect the hand grip strength. The findings of our research will be a source for future studies.Öğe Morphometry and Variation in Os Sacrum(2023) Uzun, Gökçe Bağcı; aydın, merve; Arpaçay, BURCU Kamaşak; Zencirci, Büşra; ULCAY, TUFAN; PEKMEZ, HIDIR; Nisari, MehtapAim: The merger of the fifth lumbar vertebrae with the first sacral vertebrae is called the sacralisation of the lumbar vertebrae. The purpose of this study, changes in the os sacrum with sacralisation were detected, and morphometric measurements were made.Materials and Methods: Measurements on 30 sacrum bones in the laboratory from the Department of Anatomy were performed using a digital caliper with a sensitivity of 0.01 millimeters (mm). Os sacrum measurements were taken. Results: In one of the examined sacrums, it was found that tuberositas ossis sacri had the form of a pit, and on the underside of it, there was a pronounced groove. The processus transverse of the last lumbar vertebra fused with the os sacrum was not noticeably fused. Partial sacralisation was detected in the linea transversa at the anterior junction of the os sacrum and the last lumbar vertebra. It was determined that 21 of the sacrums had four foramina sacralia, and 9 of them had five variational foramina sacralia. Conclusion: It was determined that structural changes might occur in the sacrum and that the number of foramina sacralia may be different. We believe that knowing the morphometric measurements of the sacrum will guide clinicians in the analysis of sacrum fractures and sacrum.Öğe Protective Effect of Pomegranate Juice on Lead Acetate-Induced Liver Toxicity in Male Rats(2024) PEKMEZ, HIDIR; Annaç, Ebru; Bulmus, Ozgur; Zencirci, Büşra; aydın, merve; Aydın, AliObjective: Lead has been reported to cause oxidative stress in liver tissues and cause histopathological changes. Studies have shown that pomegranate juice has antioxidant properties that prevent oxidative stress. In this study, the harmful effects of lead acetate on rat liver tissue and the efficacy of pomegranate juice against these effects were investigated. Methods: 28 male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control, lead acetate (50 mL/ kg), pomegranate juice (1 mL/kg), and lead acetate + pomegranate juice (50 mL/kg+1 mL/kg). Lead acetate and pomegranate juice were administered orally. Results: When compared with the control group, it was seen that the lead acetate had an increase in the malondialdehyde level and a decrease in reduced Glutathione, Glutathione S-transferase, and Carboxylesterases. Group lead acetate + pomegranate juice had a reduction in malondialdehyde level and an increase in Glutathione, Glutathione S-transferase, and Carboxylesterases compared with the group lead acetate. The lead level of group lead acetate + pomegranate juice decreased compared to the group lead acetate. Cellular degeneration and irregular hepatic cords were observed in group lead acetate’s liver tissue, and the negative changes were lost in group lead acetate + pomegranate juice. Conclusion: It was observed that pomegranate juice had a protective effect against liver toxicity caused by lead acetate.Öğe The Effect of Computer Usage Time on Radial and Ulnar Deviation in University Students(2023) DEMİREL, EMRE; İnceoğlu, Feyza; Uzun, Gökçe Bağcı; KAYA, Anıl; PEKMEZ, HIDIRBackground: The use of technological devices for more than a certain number of hours in daily life causes some anatomical changes in the human body. The aim of this study was to determine the changes that may occur in the range of motion in the wrist depending on the duration of computer use and to perform exami- nations on the wrist. Materials and Methods: In the study conducted on university students, a questionnaire was used to obtain demographic information, a tape measure, a manual muscle test, and a universal goniometer with a sensitivity of 1 degree, and measurements were made with 198 volunteer participants. The data and analysis of the study were performed and evaluated with SPSS (Statistical Program in Social Sciences) 25 program. Results: In this study conducted on university students, an increase in radial and ulnar deviation degrees due to computer use was found (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the groups (those who used computers for less than 3 hours and more than 3 hours) according to the E-sports (E: Elec- tronic) status of the participants (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups (those who used computers for less than 3 hours and more than 3 hours) in wrist circumference measurement (p>0.05). Conclusions: We believe that knowing the radial and ulnar goniometric angles of the wrist will guide clinicians in wrist fractures and wrist analysis.Öğe The effect of kinesio taping on neck pain in academicians(2023) Uzun, Gökçe Bağcı; DEMİREL, EMRE; İnceoğlu, Feyza; Arpacı, Muhammed; ARSLAN, Ayla; PEKMEZ, HIDIRPain in the neck is one of the oldest and most common problems known to mankind. Neck pain is generally defined as a feeling of discomfort felt in the side and back of the neck. This study aimed to investigate the effect of KT on neck pain in academicians with neck pain. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of taping by using the Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire before and after to evaluate neck pain. A total of 40 people, 18 male, and 22 female participated in the study. Academicians with neck pain were included in our study. Demographic information such as age, height, weight, gender, regular sports habits, daily smoking, and chronic disease status was questioned. \"Y\" and \"I\" bands were applied to the participants. The \"Y\" band was applied to the lower end of the cervical 7th vertebra (Vertebra Prominens) with submaximal tension, and the other two ends were applied to the right end of the right end to the proc. mastoideus of and temporal bone the left end to the processus (proc.) mastoideus of the left temporal bone. The \"I\" band was applied to the pars transversa of the trapezius muscle with moderate tension. The applied bands remained on the participants for 72 hours (3 days). In addition, the Bournemouth Neck Pain Questionnaire consisting of 7 questions was applied to the participants, questioning the intensity of pain, inadequacy in activities of daily living, inadequacy in social activities, anxiety, emotional aspects of depression, kinesiophobia, and ability to control pain. The Bournemouth Neck Pain Questionnaire was administered twice before and 10 days after the taping procedure and the results were compared. It was observed that the Bournemouth Neck Pain Scale scores before taping were higher than after taping in the participants included in the study. The decrease in Bournemouth Neck Pain scale scores after taping was statistically significant (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the Bournemouth Neck Pain Scale scores between those who do and do not do regular sports before taping (p>0.05), but a statistically significant difference was found after taping (p<0.05). It has been concluded that KT is an effective method in the treatment of neck pain in academics who spend a long time at the computer and desk. We believe that the study will contribute to clinicians, researchers and the literature.
