Abstract Background Both the health care workers (HCWs) and children are target groups for pandemic influenza vaccination. The coverage of the target populations is an important determinant for impact of mass vaccination. The objective of this study is to determine the attitudes of HCWs as parents, toward vaccinating their children with pandemic influenza A/H1N1 vaccine. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted with health care workers (HCWs) in a public hospital during December 2009 in Istanbul. All persons employed in the hospital with or without a health-care occupation are accepted as HCW. The HCWs who are parents of children 6 months to 18 years of age were included in the study. Pearson's chi-square test and logistic regression analysis was applied for the statistical analyses. Results A total of 389 HCWs who were parents of children aged 6 months-18 years participated study. Among all participants 27.0% (n = 105) reported that themselves had been vaccinated against pandemic influenza A/H1N1. Two third (66.1%) of the parents answered that they will not vaccinate their children, 21.1% already vaccinated and 12.9% were still undecided. Concern about side effect was most reported reason among who had been not vaccinated their children and among undecided parents. The second reason for refusing the pandemic vaccine was concerns efficacy of the vaccine. Media was the only source of information about pandemic influenza in nearly one third of HCWs. Agreement with vaccine safety, self receipt of pandemic influenza A/H1N1 vaccine, and trust in Ministry of Health were found to be associated with the positive attitude toward vaccinating their children against pandemic influenza A/H1N1. Conclusions Persuading parents to accept a new vaccine seems not be easy even if they are HCWs. In order to overcome the barriers among HCWs related to pandemic vaccines, determination of their misinformation, attitudes and behaviors regarding the pandemic influenza vaccination is necessary. Efforts for orienting the HCWs to use evidence based scientific sources, rather than the media for information should be considered by the authorities.

Original Article - Abstract
Background: The relationship between depression and reproductive hormone changes in menopausal women is well konown but recent animal studies showed that depression can also cause changes in reproductive hormone levels. According to this, we aimed to eveluate the impact of depression on circulating follicle-stimulating hormone and estradiol levels in premenopausal women in terms of menopausal symptoms. Material-method: A total of 120 premenoupausal women (age ranges 41-45) were divided into two groups as: study group consisted of patients (n = 60) with depression and the control group (n = 60) involved healthy women. Psychometric assessment of study group was done by the Turkish version of Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Diagnosis.The presence of menopausal symptoms of all subjects was assessed by the Turkish version of Menopause Rating Scale and hormonal activity by estimating estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone levels. Results: Study group had significantly lower mean concentration of estradiol and higher intensity of menopausal symptoms than control group. Presence and severity of menopausal symptoms were not associated with follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations. Conclusion: The results of this study confirm the connection between menopausal symptoms and depression both on clinical and physiological level.The current study is unique in its ability to assess the effects of depression on menopausal symptoms in women as they are still reproductive.

adil dünya inancı,adalet,ruh sağlığı ,just world belief,justice,mental health - Abstract
Belief in a just world hypothesis is defined as the belief that the world is a just place where people generally get what they deserve. It states that individuals have a need to believe that they live in a just world; they believe in a world where people get what they deserve and where people deserve what they get. Individuals believe that who work hard or who perform good acts obtain rewards for their actions, while the sinners and the laggards receive punishments instead. Similarly, individuals want to believe that positive outcomes, whether money, success, or happiness, are obtained only by good people and, conversely, that negative outcomes only happen to bad persons. Justice beliefs have been hypothesized as adaptive for dealing with day-to-day stres. Just world beliefs protect individuals from the daily negative psychological consequences of living in what is realistically an unjust world. In addition, just world beliefs are thought to enhance feelings of security to the extent that if the individual satisfies the conditions for being good he or she is protected from injustice. The belief in a just world, like other positive illusions, should contribute to the maintenance of one's mental health. Belief in a just world's is discussed in two ways: personal belief in a just world's answers the question "how much justly is the world to me?", whereas the belief in a just world's in general answers the question "how much justly is the world?", Adil dünya inancı dünyanın adil bir yer olduğu ve insanların neyi hak ederlerse onu buldukları hipotezi üzerine kurulmuştur. İnsanlar iyilerin ödüllendirildiği, kötülerin cezalandırıldığı ve nihayetinde herkesin hak ettiğini aldığı adil bir dünyada yaşıyor olduklarına inanmaya güdülenmişlerdir. İnsanlar, çok çalışan veya iyi davranışlar içinde olanların davranışları sonucunda ödüllendirildiğini, tembel ve günahkarların ise aksine cezalandırılacağına inanma eğilimindedirler. Benzer bir şekilde para, başarı ve mutluluk gibi olumlu sonuçların ancak iyi insanlar tarafından elde edildiğini, olumsuz sonuçların ise kötü kişilerin başına geldiğine inanırlar. Adil dünya inancı insanları geleceğin belirsizliğinden koruyan, ön görülemeyen olayların kurbanı olmayacaklarını düşündüren önemli bir adaptasyon işlevi görmektedir. Adil dünya inancı da diğer pozitif yanılsamalar gibi kişinin ruh sağlığının korunmasında olumlu işlevler görür. Adil dünya inancı literatürde iki yönlü olarak ele alınmıştır. Bireysel adil dünya inancı, "dünya bana ne kadar adil?" sorusunun cevabını verirken; genel adil dünya inancı: "dünya ne kadar adil?" sorusunun cevabını vermektedir.

Amaç: Bu yazıda aynı seansta balon kifoplasti ve lumbosakral stabilizasyon işlemi yapılan hastanın kliniği ve uygulanan cerrahi prosedür tartışılmıştır. Olgu sunumu: Yirmi dört yaşında erkek hasta, kliniğimize sırt, bel ve her iki bacakta ağrı, uyuşukluk yakınması ile başvurdu. Klinik ve radyolojik incelemelerinde, L1 lomber vertebra çökme kırığı ve instabil lumbosakral listezis saptandı. Hastaya aynı seansta L1 balon kifoplasti, L5-S1 transpediküler vida-rod sistemi ile stabilizasyon ve internal fiksasyon uygulandı. Sonuç: Balon kifoplasti ve lumbasakral stabilizasyon işleminin aynı seansta uygulanması göreceli olarak postoperatif dönemde gelişebilecek komplikasyonların değerlendirilmesinde zorluk yaratabilir. Ancak cerrahi deneyim ve uygun endikasyon ile gelişebilecek komplikasyonlar minimalize edilebilir., Objective: In this study we discussed the clinical and surgical procedure of our patient who underwent balloon kyphoplasty and lumbosacral stabilization surgery in the same seance. Case report: Twenty-four years old male patient suffering from back pain, low-back pain and bilateral leg pain, numbness admitted to our hospital. L1 lumbar vertebrae compression fracture and unstable lumbosacral spondylolisthesis was established by clinical and radiological examination. The patient was treated in the same session by L1 balloon kyphoplasty and L5-S1 transpedicular screw-rod stabilization and internal fixation. Conclusion: Co-application of balloon kyphoplasty and lumbosacral stabilization may create difficulties in evaluation of postoperative complications. However, surgical experience and appropriate indications for this surgical procedure may reduce the complication rates.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Recklinghausen hastalığı dışında nadir görülen Multipl Meningioma'lı (MM) hastalarınBT (Bilgisayarlı Tomografi) ve MRG (Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme) bulgularını incelemektir.Ailesinde Recklinghausen hastalığı öyküsü olmayan, farklı nörolojik şikayetleri olan toplam 7 kadın hasta (yaşortalaması: 49.28) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bu hastaların 7'sine MRG ve ayrıca 1'sine de BT yapıldı.Lokalizasyon, intensite, kontrastlanma paternleri (dural boyanma) ve çevre dokuya invazyon özellikleriincelendi.MM'ların lokalizasyonlarına göre dağılımında; 4 lezyon konveksite düzeyinde, 3 lezyon parasagital alanda, 1lezyon olfaktor olukda, 1 lezyon tentoryumda ve 1 lezyon da sellar lokalizasyondaydı. MRG'de tüm olgularda T1ağırlıklı sekanslarda hipointens, T2 ağırlıklı sekanslarda hiperintens, paramanyetik kontrast madde sonrasıyoğun ve homojen kontrast tutulumları (4 olguda dural boyanma) gösteren multipl extra aksiyel kitle lezyonlarıizlendi. BT karakteristikleri MRG ile benzer olarak izlendi.Meningiomalar duramaterden köken alan beynin en yaygın extraaksial tümörleri olup Recklinghausen hastalığıdışında multipl olarak çok nadir görülürler. MM patogenezi tam olarak bilinmemekle beraber bizimçalışmamızda olduğu gibi kadınlarda daha sık görülmesi nedeniyle hormonal faktörlerin etkili olabileceği iddiaedilmektedir, The objective of this study is to investigate the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computerized Tomography (CT) characteristics of multiple meningiomas (MM) which are rarely seen except with Recklinghausen disease. Seven female patients (average age: 49.28 years) with MM who have no family history of Recklinghausen disease are included in this study. All patients were scanned with MRI and one patient was also scanned with CT. Localization, intensity, contrast pattern (dural enhancement), and invasion characteristics were analyzed.Localizations of the tumors were as follows: 4 lesions in convexity, 3 lesions in parasagittal, 1 lesion in olfactorial groove, 1 lesion in tentorium and 1 lesion in sellar region. Multiple tumors were hypo intense in T1 weighted images, hyper intense in T2 weighted images and homogen contrast pattern (dural tail) in all cases. CT characteristics were similar to MRI. Meningiomas are the most common extra axial brain tumors which arise from the durameter and rarely seen in multiples except in Recklinghausen disease. Pathogenesis for multiplicity is largely unknown. Because they are mostly seen in females, as ours role of hormonal factors are speculated.

ÖZET Serebral vazospazm anevrizma! subaraknoid kanamanın (SAK) fatal seyirli olabilen bir sonucudur ve bir çok olguda prognozu etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmadaki amaç tavşanlarda üçlü subaraknoid kanama modeli ile oluşturulan serebral vazospazmda sistemik yolla uygulanan resveratrolün, vazospazm üzerini etkisinin anjiorafik olarak değerlendirilmesidir. Tavşanlarda sistema magna'ya otolog kan enjeksiyonu ile eksperimental subaraknoid kanama oluşturularak tüm tavşanlarda subaraknoid kanama öncesinde ve subaraknoid kanama sonrası 5. dakikada, 72. saatte serebral angiografileri yapılarak baziler arterlerin çap ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Deneklere birinci SAK'ı takiben 24 ve 48. saatlerde intrasisternal kan enjeksiyonu tekrarlanmıştır. Resveratrol ve çözücüsü DMSO uygulamaları, ilk SAK geliştirilmesinden itibaren 24., 36. ve 48. saatte intravenöz olarak uygulanmıştır. Baziler arter anjiografik çap ölçümlerinde elde edilen sonuçlar değerlendirilip resveratrolün akut fazda baziler arter vazospazmı üzerine iyileştirici etkisinin olduğu gösterilmiştir. 36 SUMMARY Cerebral vasospasm is a probable mortal outcome of subarachnoid hemorragia (SAH), which also effects prognosis in most cases. The aim of the study is to asses the effect of sistemically administered resveratrol on vasospasm in rabbit models by angiographic methods, in which vasospasm was performed by triple SAH. Experimental SAH achieved by autolog blood injection to cisterna magna, before SAH and after blood injection at 5. minute and 72. hour, basiler arterial diameter measurements were obtained angiographically. After the first SAH, subsequently at 24 and 48. hour, intracisternal injection repeated, intravenous resveratrol and DMSO4 adminisrations were performed after first SAH at 24, 36 and 48. hour. Our angiographic findings showed that, resveratrol is effective on basiler arterial vasospasm in acute phase. WlircevJuj* D*'nD 36

PARENTAL alienation syndrome , *CUSTODY of children , *BRAINWASHING , *MENTAL health practitioners , *CHILD abuse , *JUSTIFICATION (Theory of knowledge) - Abstract
Children who have been programmed by one parent to be alienated from the other parent are commonly seen in the context of child-custody disputes. Its primary manifestation is the child's campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. It is said to result from a combination of a programming (brainwashing) parent's indoctrinations and the child's own contributions to the vilification of the targeted parent. Many evaluators use the term parental alienation syndrome to refer to the disorder engendered in such children. However, there is significant controversy going on about the validity of parental alienation syndrome. The purpose of this article has been to describe and help to differentiate parental alienation syndrome and abuse for mental health professionals working in the field, and discuss the arguments about the validity of this syndrome.

- Abstract
Desmoplastic infantile gangliogliomas are very rarely encountered, large supratentorial masses, derived from neuroepithelial origin, which have cystic and solid components and contain cells with astrocytic and ganglionic differentiation. These tumors are benign tumors of childhood that become symptomatic when they reach giant sizes. Sixty cases of desmoplastic ganglioglioma have been reported to date. In the present study, a case of giant desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma in a 22-month-old patient is presented, which had an aggressive radiological appearance in the midline and presented with atypical symptoms.

Introduction: Encephalocele, midline defect of cranial bone fusion, occurs most frequently in the occipital region. Airway management in pediatric patients with craniofacial disorders poses many challenges to the anesthesiologist. The purpose of this study is to describe the airway problems encountered for such cases, and describe how these problems were managed. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the charts of occipital encephalocele newborn that were treated by surgical correction in Harran University Hospital during 2006-2008. The collected data were categorized into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data. Results: The mean age of the patients was 5.17 days. Of these 17 patients, eight patients (47.1%) had hydrocephaly, one patient (5.8%) with Dandy Walker syndrome. Micrognathia, macroglossia, restriction in neck movements were recorded as the reasons in six cases each. No major anesthetic complication was found. Conclusions: We reported perioperative management in 17 occipital encephalocele infant. Comprehensive care during peroperative period is essential for successful outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Primer hipotiroidizm ile hipofizer hiperplazi, arasındaki ilişki oldukça iyi bilinse de, hipotiroid bir olgunun hipofiz hiperplazisine bağlı klİnik semptomları ile fark edilmesi nadir bir durumdur. Yazımızda baş ağrısı nedeniyle değerlendirilirken hipofizer kitle saptanan ve sonrasında hipotiroid de olduğu fark edildiğinden hipofizer hiperplazi olası tanısı ile izlenen bir olgu sunulmuştur. Olguda saptanan hipofizer kitlenin levotiroksin tedavisi ile radyolojik olarak küçüldüğü gösterilmiştir. Primer hipotiroidizme bağlı hipofizer hiperplazi ko-insidental hipofiz adenomları ile karışabilir. Radyolojik olarak hipofiz adenomu-hiperplazisi ayırımı yapmak oldukça güçtür. Ayırıcı tanıda hastanın klinik öyküsü, hormonal parametreler ve kitlenin levotiroksin replasmanı ile küçüldüğünün radyolojik olarak gösterilmesi önemlidir, Although the association of pituitary hyperplasia and primary hypothyroidism is well known, recognition of hypothyroidism due to pituitary hyperplasia is a rare occurence.We report a case of a probable pituitary hyperplasia who complaint with headache, and found to have pituitary hyperplasia during evaluation of headache and co-incidental hypothyroidism. Pituitary mass image has been shrinked with levothyroxin therapy.Pituitary hyperplasia due to primary hypothyroidism can be confused with coincidental pituitary adenomas. Radiological distinction between hyperplasia and adenomas is difficult. Patient history, hormonal parameters and radiological regression of the mass image with levothyroxin therapy are important clues in differential diagnosis

Background: The relationship between depression and reproductive hormone changes in menopausal women is well konown but recent animal studies showed that depression can also cause changes in reproductive hormone levels. According to this, we aimed to eveluate the impact of depression on circulating follicle-stimulating hormone and estradiol levels in premenopausal women in terms of menopausal symptoms., Material-Method: A total of 120 premenoupausal women (age ranges 41-45) were divided into two groups as: study group consisted of patients (n = 60) with depression and the control group (n = 60) involved healthy women. Psychometric assessment of study group was done by the Turkish version of Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Diagnosis.The presence of menopausal symptoms of all subjects was assessed by the Turkish version of Menopause Rating Scale and hormonal activity by estimating estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone levels., Results: Study group had significantly lower mean concentration of estradiol and higher intensity of menopausal symptoms than control group. Presence and severity of menopausal symptoms were not associated with follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations., Conclusion: The results of this study confirm the connection between menopausal symptoms and depression both on clinical and physiological level.The current study is unique in its ability to assess the effects of depression on menopausal symptoms in women as they are still reproductive.

- Abstract
We describe herein a patient with primary intracerebral malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) to demonstrate this very rare central nervous system tumor. A 42-year-old male was admitted to our institute with the complaints of headache and speech impairment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a tumor consistent with meningioma and we decided the surgery. The tumor was excised totally during the initial surgery. Histopathological examination revealed a mesenchymal tumor with an invasion of the adjacent brain and underlying dura mater. On the postoperative 4th month, the follow up MRI showed tumor recurrence at the same location and of similar size. Reoperation was performed and the tumor was again removed gross totally. However, the patient demonstrated a rapidly progressive course leading to death within the first year after the surgery. Two significant points of this case of primary central nervous system MFH are the rarity of its occurrence and its mimicking a meningioma.

- Abstract
Intradural disc herniation is a serious and rare complication of intervertebral disc rupture. The preoperative diagnosis of intradural disc herniation is still difficult despite new neuroradiologic investigation possibilities including computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and it is usually diagnosed by during surgery. Here we present an intradural disc herniation case at the level of L1-L2 with accompanying significant myelopathic neurologic deficits. A 50-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with pain and weakness in both legs. Her neurological examination revealed paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an extruded disc hernia of central localization at the L1-L2 level. She underwent total laminectomy at the level of L1-L2 and her intradural disc fragment was extirpated by microsurgical methods.

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether iloprost, a stable analog of prostacyclin, is useful for the preservation of neural grafts in transplantation surgery., Methods: This study was conducted at the Microsurgery Laboratory of the Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey in 2003. The animals (rabbits) were divided into 3 groups. In group I, autografts taken from the adrenal medulla were stored in 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution for 45 minutes before transplantation. In group II, autografts taken from the adrenal medulla were stored in iloprost solution (50 ng/ml) for 45 minutes before transplantation. Graft transplantation was not performed in the third group., Results: In group I, the grafts partially preserved their viability. In group II, the large adrenal medullary cells had evident euchromatin nuclei fused with neurons, and there was an increase in vascularization., Conclusion: Three weeks after transplantation surgery, it was determined that iloprost maintained the viability of the graft tissue and probably prevented apoptosis, and facilitated the integration of the graft tissue into the host brain.
