- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the caregiver burden (CB) of informal caregivers for stroke survivors with and without dysphagia and to assess the relationship between the CB levels of informal caregivers for stroke survivors with dysphagia, patients’ swallowing-related quality of life (QoL), and patients’ stroke-specific QoL. Patients and methods: This multi-center, prospective, cross-sectional study included a total of 120 stroke patients (76 males, 44 females; mean age: 61.1±12.3 years; range, 19 to 86 years) between October 2019 and 2020. Of the patients, 57 had dysphagia and 63 had no dysphagia. The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) was used to classify the degree of functional dietary limitation caused by each patient’s swallowing impairment. Patients and caregivers completed the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10), Swallowing Quality of Life (SWQoL) questionnaire, Stroke Impact Scale (SIS), and the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI). Results: The CB levels were higher in those caring for stroke patients with dysphagia than in those caring for stroke patients without dysphagia. Caregiver burden was found to be associated with patients’ swallowing-related QoL and stroke-related QoL. Significant predictors of high CB scores (F=2.55, R2=0.59; p=0.007) were being an employed caregiver (B=17.48, p=0.003), being a caregiver with high school (B=-19.6, p=0.03), and secondary school (B=-16.28, p=0.02) educational status, being son, daughter (B=30.63, p=0.007) or other relative of the patient (B=20.06, p=0.01), lower FOIS stage (B=-3.14, p=0.011), lower SWQoL (B=0.52, p=0.009) and lower SIS (B=-0.37, p=0.04) scores. Conclusion: Caregivers of stroke patients with dysphagia suffer from a higher CB than those without dysphagia. In stroke patients with dysphagia, swallowing-related QoL is associated with the QoL levels of stroke patients and the CB levels of their caregivers. Employment status, educational status of caregiver, caregiver’s relativity to the patient, FOIS stage, swallowing and stroke related QoL of the patients are factors related to burden levels of caregivers of stroke patients with dysphagia. These results may help health professionals to understand dysphagia as an essential source of CB and consider it, while planning treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the physical and emotional effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients. Patients and methods: The cross-sectional controlled study was performed with 1,360 participants (332 males, 1,028 females; mean age: 42.3±12.5 years; range, 18 to 65 years) between September 2020 and February 2021. The participants were evaluated in three groups: the FMS group (n=465), the CLBP group (n=455), and the healthy control group (n=440). Physical activity, pain levels, and general health status before and during the pandemic were evaluated in all participants. Stress levels were analyzed with the perceived stress scale (PSS) in all groups, and disease activity was analyzed with the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) in patients with FMS. Results: Patients with FMS had worsened general health status and pain levels during the pandemic compared to the other groups (p<0.01). The FMS group showed significantly higher PSS scores than those in other groups (p<0.01). There was a weak-positive correlation between FIQ and PSS parameters in patients with FMS (p<0.05, r=0.385). Conclusion: The general health status, pain, and stress levels of the patients with FMS and CLBP tended to worsen during the pandemic. This high-stress level appeared to affect disease activity in patients with FMS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses a case of trigeminal neuralgia that occurred after COVID-19 vaccination. Trigeminal neuralgia is a neurological condition that can develop after COVID-19 infection, although its exact mechanism is not fully understood. While vaccines for COVID-19 are generally safe and effective, there have been reports of neurological complications linked to the vaccines. This case report presents a 44-year-old woman who experienced jaw pain and spasm after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The patient's symptoms persisted despite dental treatments, and a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia due to vaccination was established. Treatment with oral carbamazepine resulted in a decrease in symptoms. It is important to consider trigeminal neuralgia as a potential neurological complication of COVID-19 vaccination.

Diffüz idiyopatik skeletal hiperostozis (DİSH) ve ankilozan spondilit (AS) aksiyel iskelet ve periferik bölgelerde birbirlerinden farklı patolojiler sonucunda gelişen, ligaman ve tendonlarda ossifikasyon ile karakterize iki ayrı hastalıktır. DİSH ve AS birlikteliği nadir görülen bir durumdur ve İngilizce literatürde de bu duruma dikkat çeken olgu sayısı oldukça azdır. Bu olgu sunumunda sakroileit varlığı yönünden AS, dorsolomber omurga grafi bulguları yönünden ise DİSH için tipik görünüme sahip olan ve İnsan (human) lökosit antijeni-B27 negatif bir olgu sunuldu. Olgunun semptomlarının geç başlangıçlı olması, her iki hastalığın birbirleri ile etkileşimi ve bu durumun prognoza etkisi literatür ışığında tartışıldı, Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are two diseases characterized by ossification of the ligaments and tendons in both the axial skeleton and peripheral sites with very different pathologies. Coexistence of DISH and AS is a rare condition and there are relatively few cases in the English-language literature. In this paper, we report a human leukocyte antigen-B27-negative patient who presented with the typical appearance of DISH on the dorsal radiograph and also had sacroileitis, suggesting AS. We discussed prognosis of the late-onset case and the interaction of two diseases in this coexistence.

Bu derleme yazısında son yıllarda kalça ağrılarının etyolojisinde sıklıkla vurgulanan Femoroasetabular impingement (FAİ) sendromuna dair son literatür bilgileri tartışılmıştır. Klinik pratikte oldukça atlanan bu konu, klinik ve radyolojik açıdan ele alınmış; tedavi yaklaşımları gözden geçirilmiştir. FAİ sendromu ile ilgili fiziksel tıp ve rehabilitasyon alanında yapılan çalışmalar oldukça yetersizdir. Kalça osteoartriti gelişiminde hatırı sayılır bir yeri olan bu sendroma karşı farkındalığın artması ile bir çok hasta erken tedavi imkanı bulacak ve hastaların yaşam kalitesi artacaktır. Bu nedenle bu konuda daha fazla klinik ve radyolojik çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Bu çalışmalar ışığında ortaya çıkacak yeni tanı ve tedavi algoritmaları ile ağrı yakınmaları karşılıksız kalan bir çok hasta da şifa bulabileceklerdir. In this pictural assay, the femoroasetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome that emphasized in the etiology of hip pain was discussed with the light of recent literatures. This topic that was usually skipped in clinical practice was examined with clinical and radiological aspects and treatment approaches were discussed. Studies related to FAI syndrome are very limited in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. In clinical practice with the consideration of this syndrome which has place in the etiology of hip osteoarthritis; early treatment of many patients could be possible, and patients' quality of life would increased. Therefore, further clinical and radiological studies are required about this issue. In the light of these studies new diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms will be revealed and in many patients who complaints of pain remaining insoluble would able to find cure.

Objective: Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is generally diagnosed clinically. Ultrasonography (US) can provide useful information about the location, extent, and severity of LE. Our objective was to use US to confirm LE and to investigate the relationships between pain, grip strength, physical examination, and disability in these patients. Material and Methods: Fifty-two patients with unilateral LE were examined by US. Pain and functional status were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS), physical functioning and bodily pain scales of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and a patient-rated forearm evaluation questionnaire (PRFEQ). Grip strength and manual tests for LE were evaluated. Results: Clinical diagnosis of LE was confirmed by US in 28 (53.8%) patients. Our results showed close associations between clinical examination findings and SF-36 and PRFEQ assessments with pain in patients who had sonographic abnormalities. Grip strength was also correlated with clinical and functional evaluations in these cases. Conclusion: We concluded that evaluation of disability in LE requires methods different from those included in the traditional clinical examination. Pain and grip strength measurements provide numerical and quantitative data for evaluation of severity and disability in patients with sonographic findings of LE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We evaluated the efficacy of transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy on wetting behaviors, social functioning and bladder storage capacities in children with enuresis nocturna. A total of 8 enuretic children aged 8-16 years old were selected for study on basis of poor outcome despite extensive trials of conventional treatments. 15 seances of TENS therapy applied on the suprapubic region. Changes in wetting behaviors and social functioning before and after the therapy were assessed with a 7-point scale. Patients were asked to record their urine output using a frequency/volume chart for two consecutive days before and after the therapy. Two of the children became dry two months after the therapy. The total scores of wetting behaviors and social status were increased in two patients at two months after the therapy. Maximum functional bladder capacity, mean day-time bladder capacity, maximum nocturnal bladder capacity were increased only in two patients after the treatment. Number of daytime voids were decreased in these patients. According to our preliminary results, it seems that TENS therapy in the children with nocturnal enuresis showed improvement in some degree. Further studies are needed which are performed in larger series. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this prospective study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of simvastatin on bone metabolism and the correlation between changes in bone turnover parameters and serum cytokine levels. For this purpose, 38 postmenopausal subjects with hypercholesterolemia (>240?mg/dl), not on osteoporosis treatment, were studied. Simvastatin was started at a dose of 20?mg daily and continued for 3 months. Six patients were excluded from the study during the follow-up period. Pre- and post-treatment samples were analyzed for bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and osteocalcin (OCL), as markers of bone formation; for carboxyterminal telopeptide of collagen I (CTX), as a marker of bone resorption; and for interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) cytokine levels. Total cholesterol level was decreased from 262.1 ± 30.9 to 210.2 ± 35.6?mg/dl after simvastatin treatment ( P < 0.0001). While no significant change was observed in serum CTX level, BAP and OCL levels were significantly increased (from 120.8 ± 56.6 to 149.5 ± 57.6?IU/l [ P = 0.008], and from 20.8 ± 12.6 to 34.7 ± 18.4?µg/l [ P = 0.015], respectively). In the analysis of cytokines, while no significant change was observed in IL-6 levels, the TNF-a level was found to be significantly decreased after simvastatin treatment (from 77.9 ± 31.6?pg/ml to 23.5 ± 12.6?pg/ml [ P = 0.021]). Individual changes in TNF-a levels showed a moderate negative correlation with the individual changes in BAP and OCL levels ( r = -0.550 [ P = 0.001], and r = -0.497 [ P = 0.004], respectively). In conclusion; 20-mg daily simvastatin treatment for 3 months significantly increased BAP and OCL levels (markers of bone formation) in hypercholesterolemic postmenopausal subjects, without affecting bone resorption. These findings support the idea that simvastatin has an anabolic effect on bone formation. Additionally, the presence of a negative correlation between TNF-a levels and the anabolic bone parameters suggests that a cytokine-lowering effect of simvastatin may also be involved in the remodeling process and could exert some additive beneficial effect on bone metabolism.

Amaç: Çalışmamızda, miyofasiyal aktif tetik noktaya uygulanan ultrason ve lazer tedavilerinin etkinliğinin klinik ve ultrasonografik değerlendirmeler ile objektif olarak gösterilmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya kronik boyun ağrısı ve üst trapez kasında aktif tetik noktası olan hastalar dahil edildi. Hastalar ardışık sıralı randomizasyon ile Ultrason, Lazer, Plasebo Ultrason, Plasebo Lazer ve Ultrason+Laser tedavilerinden oluşan 5 gruba ayrıldı. Çalışmaya alınan bütün hastalara üst trapez kasına yönelik germe egzersizlerinden oluşan ev programı verildi. Hastalar tedavi öncesi, tedavi sonrası 1.ay ve 3.ay olmak üzere 3 kez değerlendirildi. Klinik değerlendirmede; vizuel analog skala üzerinden ağrı derecesi, gonyometre ile servikal lateral fleksiyon açıklığı, kısa form-36 (SF-36)'nın fiziksel fonksiyon altgrup ölçeği, boyun dizabilite indeksi ve duygudurum profil ölçeğinin anksiyete altgrup parametresi kullanıldı. Ultrasonografi ile B-mode, Doppler ve elastografik değerlendirmede; tetik nokta boyut ve elastisite ölçümü, TIS (Doku görüntüleme skoru) ve BFS (Kan Akım Dalga Form Skoru) parametreleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Ultrason tedavisinin hem klinik hem ultrasonografik (elastografi, Doppler, TIS) parametrelerde plaseboya kıyasla anlamlı iyileşme yaptığı saptandı. Lazer tedavisinin ise klinik parametrelerde plaseboya üstünlüğü saptanmazken, radyolojik parametrelerde özellikle 3.ayda ortaya çıkan plaseboya göre anlamlı iyileşme saptandı. Kombine tedavi ile klinik ve radyolojik parametrelerde hem erken hem de geç dönemde anlamlı iyileşme saptandı. Bununla beraber parametrelerin birçoğunda lazer tedavisine kıyasla anlamlı iyileşme saptanırken, ultrason tedavisine, tedavi sonrası 1.ay ağrı değerlendirmesi dışında üstünlük saptanmadı. Klinik ve radyolojik parametreler arasındaki korelasyonunun özellikle geç dönemde belirginleştiği, elastisite ve Doppler parametrelerinde tetik nokta boyutu ve TIS parametrelerine kıyasla daha anlamlı ve güçlü ilişki olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Yüksek güçte ultrason tedavisi hem klinik hem de ultrasonografik parametrelerin birçoğunda iyileştirici yönde anlamlı düzeyde etkili bulundu. Kombine tedavideki olumlu etkide, yüksek güçte ultrasonun katkı payının daha fazla olduğu kanaatindeyiz. Tedavi maliyeti ve iş gücü göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, miyofasiyal ağrı sendromunda tek başına yüksek güçte ultrason tedavisi, kombine tedaviye bir alternatif olabilir. Miyofasiyal ağrı sendromunda dokudaki makrodeğişiklik-nodül ötesinde mikrodeğişiklikler-esneklik ve kanlanma daha değerlidir. Objective: We aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of ultrasound and laser treatments applied to the myofascial active trigger point objectively with clinical and ultrasonographic evaluations. Materials and Methods: Patients with chronic neck pain and an active trigger point in the upper trapezius were included in the study. Patients were divided into 5 groups consisting of ultrasound, laser, sham ultrasound, sham laser and ultrasound+laser treatment with sequential randomization. All the patients who were involved in the study were given a home schedule consisting of stretching exercises for the upper trapezium muscle. Patients were evaluated three times before treatment, first and third months after treatment. As clinical evaluation parameters; pain via visual analogue scale (VAS), cervical lateral flexion angle with goniometer, physical function subgroup scale of short form-36 (SF-36), anxiety subgroup parameters of profile of mood scale and neck disability index were used. B-mode, Doppler and elastographic evaluation by ultrasonography; trigger point and elasticity measurement, TIS (Tissue Imaging Score) and BFS (Blood Flow Waveform Score) parameters were used. Results: Ultrasound therapy significantly improved both clinically and ultrasonographically (elastography, Doppler, TIS) parameters compared to placebo. Laser therapy showed no significant improvement in clinical parameters, but significant improvement in radiological parameters compared to placebo, especially in the third month. Significant improvement in both clinical and radiological parameters was detected in both early and late periods with combined therapy. Most of the evaluation parameters in the combined therapy were significantly improved compared with the laser therapy, whereas had no superiority to the ultrasound therapy except the pain evaluation at the first month after the treatment. Correlation between clinical and radiological parameters was found to be more significant and stronger in elasticity and Doppler parameters than trigger point size and TIS parameters, especially in the late period. Conclusion: High-power pain threshold ultrasound therapy was found to have a significant positive effect on most of the clinical and ultrasonographic parameters. In the beneficial effect of combined treatment, we believe that the contribution of high-power pain threshold ultrasound is higher. In the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome, when treatment cost and workload are considered, ultrasound therapy alone may be an alternative to combined treatment. Beyond macro-change / nodule in the tissue in myofascial pain syndrome, micro-changes / flexibility and blood-flow are more valuable. 110

Çalışanlarda işe bağlı kas-iskelet sorunlarıAMAÇ: Çalışmamızda, erişkin çalışanlarında işe bağlı kas-iskelet sistemi hastalıkları sıklığı ve risk etmenlerinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Çalışanların demografik özellikleri, çalışma ortamında olan fiziksel ve psikososyal maruziyetler ile işe bağlı kas-iskelet sistemi hastalıkları arasındaki ilişkiler incelendi. Ayrıca İKİH' ın (işe bağlı kas iskelet sistemi hastalıkları-sorunları) yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisi araştırılacaktır.GEREÇ YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya Manisa Organize Sanayi bölgesinde buzdolabı fabrikasında çalışan 18 yaşından büyük, gece-gündüz vardiyası ve dönüşümlü çalışma alanı olan mavi yakalılar ve beyaz yakalı 250 kişi alındı. Çalışmaya katılan çalışanların demografik özellikleri, ek hastalık bilgileri, çalışma koşulları(çalışma saati, iş yerinde ve meslekte geçen süre vb) sorgulandı. Çalışanların İKİH varlığı ve vücut bölgesi dağılımını araştırmak için Standardize İskandinav Kas-İskelet Sistemi anketi uygulandı. Çalışanların maruz kaldıkları fiziksel risk düzeyini ölçmek amacıylada Hızlı Maruziyet Değerlendirme(HMD) anketinin türkçeye çevrilmiş versiyonu ve psikososyal risk etmenlerini ölçmek amacıyla İsveç iş yükü-kontrol-destek ölçeği uygulandı. Çalışanların yaşam kalitesi, yaşam kalitesini değerlendirme ölçeği(kısa form SF-36)ile değerlendirildi. Çalışmaya katılan bir hekim tarafından ve ankete katılanlar tarafından doldurulacaklardır. Anket çalışmasından elde edilen bilgiler SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) 15 programına kaydedilip değerlendirildi.BULGULAR: Çalışanların 208'i(%83) mavi yakalı 42'si(%17) beyaz yakalıydı. Çalışanların %85 'i erkek %15 i kadındı. Çalışmamızda İKİH(İşe Bağlı Kas İskelet Sistemi Hastalıkları-Sorunları) sıklığı %72.1(178 kişide) bulundu. En sıketkilenen bölge bel bölgesiydi(%20). Bunu boyun(%17) ve omuz(%12) bölgeleri izledi. Mavi ve beyaz yakalılar arasında İKİH sıklığı açından fark yoktu(p:0.971). İKİH sıklığı; meslek geçen süre(yıl)(p:0.000), iş yerinde geçen süre(yıl)(P:0.000), yaş(P:0.000), ek hastalık öyküsü varlığı (p:0.026), sigara kullanımı(paket yıl)(p0.007), VKİ(P:0.026), iş stresi(0.000) ve iş yükü(0.002) arttıkça artıyordu. İş kontrolü(P:0.007), eğitim durumu(P:0.001), düzenli egzersiz yapmak (p:0.017) ile İKİH varlığı arasında ters yönde ilişki vardı. HMD(Hızlı Maruziyet Değerlendirme) ölçeğine göre vücut bölgelerinde maruziyetin büyük kısmı yüksek veya çok yüksekti. HMD anketinde orta ve üstü maruziyet düzeyi risk olarak kabul edildiğinde boyun hariç tüm vücut bölgeleri yakınmaları ile maruziyet düzeyi arasında ilişkili saptandı. İşveç İş Yükü-Kontrol-Destek anketi değerlendirmesinde boyun ağrısı etkeni olarak iş stresi etkili bulundu(p:0.005). Eğitim düzeyinin artmasıyla doktora başvurma azalıyordu(p: 0.016). Mavi yakalıların beyaz yakalılara kıyasla daha fazla rapor aldıkları(p0.012) ve bunun da çoğunun kısa süreli(1-7 gün) olduğu saptandı. Raporların temel nedeni omurga ve omuz ağrıları olarak bulundu. Ağrısı olanların fiziksel komponent skoru(FKS)(p:0.000) ve mental komponent skoru(MKS)(p: 0.016) düzeyleri anlamlı olarak düşük bulundu. Çalışmamızda çalışma alanı(p:0.971), cinsiyet(p: 0.847), sigara kullanımı öyküsü(p0.052), titreşim(p:0.320) ve folkfilt (p:0.081) kullanımı ile İKİH ilişkisi bulunmadı.SONUÇ: İş sağlığı ve güvenli bakımından orta düzeyde riskli kabul edilen ancak HMD yöntemine göre yüksek veya çok yüksek(vücut bölgeleri maruziyeti) maruziyet bulunduğu iş yerinde İKİH sıklığı %72.1'di ve oldukça yüksekti. Çalışmamızda çalışanların esas kas iskelet sistemi sorunu olarak omurga şikayetleri(özellikle bel ve boyun) ön plandaydı. Bu çalışmada kişisel, fiziksel, psikososyal risk etmenleri ile İKİH arasında anlamlı ilişki saptandı. İş yerlerinde İKİH'na etken olabilecek tüm risk etmenleri araştırılmalı ve maruziyet düzeyleri belirlenip koruyucu önlemler alınmalıdır.Anahtar Kelimeler: İş sağlığı, işe bağlı kas-iskelet sorunları, hızlı maruziyet değerlendirme, işveç iş yükü-kontrol-destek anketi, kısa form-36, ergonomi, çalışma alanı, beyaz eşya Work-related musculoskeletal disorders in workersOBJECTIVE:In our study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and risk factors in adult employees. Relationships between the demographic features, physical and psychosocial conditions at working place and work-related musculoskeletal systeam disorders have been investigated. Effect of WRMSD( work-related musculoskeletal system disorders) on life quality will also be studied.METHODS:250 people who has white-collar and blue-collar that works at a refrigerator factory in Manisa Industrial Site and are above 18 years old, who works with morning-night job rotation and has interleave working area. Demographic features, additional disease informations(comorbidity), working conditions(work time, time spent at workplace and job) of employees that are included in study have been questioned. Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire has been performed to search the WRMSD presence and body area distribution of the employees. Turkish translation of the Quick Exposure Check (QEC) has been used to measure the physical risk level of employees exposure and Swedish Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire has been performed to measure the psychosocial risk factors. Life quality of the employees has been assessed by SF-36(short from 36). They will be filled by a doctor who joined the study and those who joined the questionnaire. Data from the questionnaire study was saved and investigated in SPSS (statistical package for social science) 15 program.RESULTS:208 of the employees (%83) were blue-collared and 42 (%17) were white-collared. %85 of the employees were male and %15 were female. In our study WRMSD frequency was found as %72(178 persons). The most affected96area was lumbar area(%20). It is followed by neck(%17) and shoulder(%12) areas. There was no difference of WRMSD frequencies between blue-collared and white-collared groups(p:0.971). WRMSD frequency was getting higher as the time spent in job(Year)(p:0.0000), age(p:0.000), presence of additional disease information(comorbidity)(p:0.026), smoking(box/year)(p:0.007), BMI(o:0.026), work stress(0.000) and workload (0.002) got higher. There was and inverse proportion between work control(p:0.007), educational level(p:0.001), regular exercise(p:0.017) and WRMSD. As for the QEC, most of the exposures on body areas were high or very-high. When the moderate and above exposure levels are determined as risk levels in QEC, a relationship between body area complaints and exposure levels were found, excluding the neck. In Nordic Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire assessment, work stress is found as a factor of neck pain(p:0.005). As the educational level went high, the number of doctor consultation were getting lower(p0.016). It is determined that white-collared persons received more reports compared to white-collared persons(0.012), and most of them were short-term(1-7 days). The main reason of the reports were found as spine and should pain. Physical component scores(FCS)(p:0.000) and Mental Component Scores(MCS)(p:0.016) of people who has pain were found significantly low. In our study, the working area(p:0.971), gender(p:0.874), smoking history(p:0.052), vibration(p:0320) and forlift usage(p:0.081) and WRMSD relation were not found.CONCLUSİON:WRMSD frequency was %72.1 and significantly high at workplace that exposure was accepted as moderate risk factor in respect to work health and security but in respect to QEC high and very high. In our study, the spine complaints(expecially lumbar and neck) of the employees were at forefront as essential musculoskeletal problem. In this study personal, a significant relationship between physical, psychosocial risk factors and WRMSD was found. All risk factors that may lead to WRMSD should be investigated and exposure levels should be determined and protective measures should be taken.97KEYWORDS: work health, work-related musculoskeletal system disorders, quick exposure check, nordic demand-control-support questionnaire, short form-36, ergonomy, working area, white appliances 146

AMAÇ: Bu çalısmada amacımız CBÜ Tıp Fakültesi hastanesi FTR polikliniğinde klinik ve radyolojik olarak ACR tanı kriterlerine göre gonartroz tansı konulan hastalarda gonartroz ve BEHS arasındaki ilişkiyi irdelemekti. Aynı hastalar BEHS bakımından kontrollerle kıyaslandı. Böylece tartışmalı bir konu olan ve gonartrozun etyolojisinde suçlanan eklem hipermobilitesinin-laksitesinin rolünü aydınlatmayı amaçladık.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya, gonartroz tanısı konulan 50 hasta ile, diz ağrısı yakınması bulunmayan 25 kontrol dahil edildi. Her iki gruptaki BEHS varlığı Beighton hipermobilite kriterlerine göre değerlendirilerek demografik verilerle beraber kaydedildi. Ayrıca hipermobil kişilerde sık görülen yakınmalar (kolay yaralanma, eklem dislokasyonu gibi) sorgulanarak, skolyoz ve pes planus varlığı inspeksiyonla değerlendirildi. Hasta grupta ayrıntılı diz muayenesi yapılarak, çekilmiş olan diz grafileri K-L evrelemesine göre yorumlandı. Gonatrozlu kişilerde fonksiyonel ölçütler yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde kullanıldı.BULGULAR: Hasta ve kontrol grubu yaş ve cinsiyet bakımından karşılaştırılabilirdi. BEHS varlığı hasta ve kontrol grubunda birer olguda (sırasıyla %2 ve %4) tespit edildi ve gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı (p:0.900). Hasta ve kontrol grubunda BEHS'na ait sık görülen yakınmaların öykü şeklinde sorgulanmasında, hasta grubunda dizde şişlik yakınması tanımlayanlar anlamlı olarak daha fazlaydı (p0.05). SONUÇ: Çalışmamızdan elde ettiğimiz bulgulara dayanarak eşliğinde, gonartoz ile BEHS varlığı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmadığı kanaatine varılabilir. Bununla birlikte çalışmamızda BEHS'li olguların sayısının oldukça düşük olması göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.ANAHTAR KELİMELER: Hipermobilite, gonartroz, beighton, BEHS OBJECT: The aim of this study is to examine the relation between BJHS and gonarthrosis in patients with and without clinically and radiolagically diagnosed gonarthosis according to ACR in CBÜ Medical Fakülty PMR polycinic. Same patients compared with controls about BEHS. In this respect, we aimed to identify the role of joint hypermobility-laxity in the etiology of gonarthrosis which is stil controversial.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Included in the study were 50 patients diagnosed as gonarthrosis and 25 controls with no knee complaint. Presence of hypermobility as assessed by the Beighton criteria were evaluated and saved together with demographic parameters in both groups. Also usual complaints of hypermobile people (easy bruising, joint dislocation etc.) were questioned and presence of scoliosis or pes planus was evaluated by inspection. In patient group, a comprehensive examination of the knee is conducted and previous x-rays are interpreted according to K-L grade. Functional status was evaluated by measures in patients with gonarthrosis for evaluation of quality of life.RESULTS: Patient and control groups were comparable in terms of age and gender. BJHS was detected in one patient in patient and control group (2% and 4%, respectively) and there was no statistically significant difference between two groups (p:0.900). While questioning the patients for usual complaints seen in hypermobile patients, knee swelling was significantly more common in the patient group (p0.05).CONCLUSION: According to our results, there is no statistically significant relation between gonarthrosis and BJHS. However, the very low number of patients with BEHS in our study should be considered.KEY WORDS: hypermobility, gonarthrosis, Beighton, BJHS 78

Amaç: Ankilozan spondilit (AS) ve diffüz idiopatik iskeletsel hiperostozis (DİSH) entezopatik tutulum yapabilen iki hastalıktır. AS inflamatuvar, DİSH ise non inflamatuvar gruba dahildir. AS'li hastalarda hastalık aktivitesini belirlemede entezisler kilit rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada iki farklı gruptaki hastalıkta entezopatik tutulumun AS'de tanımlanmış indeksler kullanarak ortaya konulması amaçlandı. Ayrıca bu tutulumun etkileri klinik, laboratuvar ve fonksiyonel parametrelerle incelendi.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Modifiye New York kriterlerine göre AS tanılı 30, Utsinger ve Resnick radyolojik tanı kriterlerini karşılayan DİSH tanısı almış 18 erişkin hasta dahil edildi. AS ve DİSH dışında başka bir inflamatuvar romatizmal hastalığı ve genel durumu bozan ciddi sistemik hastalığı olan olgular çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Bütün hastaların demografik, klinik, fonksiyonel ve laboratuar verileri kesitsel olarak bir kez değerlendirildi. İstirahat ve aktivitedeki ağrıları VAS ile değerlendirildi. Entezit indeksi olarak da MASES (Maastricht AS Entesit Skoru) ve MEI (Mander Entesit indeksi) kullanıldı. Ağrı ve fonksiyon için de SF 36 (Short Form-36) anketi yapıldı. Sadece AS hastalarında hastalık aktivite indeksi olarak BASDAI (Bath AS Hastalık Aktivite İndeksi ) ve fonksiyonel indeks olarak BASFI (Bath AS Fonksiyonel indeksi), yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmede ASQoL (AS Yaşam Kalitesi Soru Formu) kullanıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmamızda AS ve DİSH'te entezis değerlendirme indeksleri (MEI, MASES), ağrı, SF 36 fiziksel fonksiyon bakımından belirgin anlamlı fark saptanmadı. AS ve DİSH hastalarının yapılan fizik muayenelerinde, AS hastalarının belirgin olarak ölçüm değerlerinde kısıtlılık gösterdiği bulundu. Her iki grupta da MASES'te en çok etkilenen entezit bölgesi lomber 5. vertebra spinöz çıkıntısı olarak saptandı. Bizim çalışmamızda AS'li hastalarda MASES ve MEI ile hastalık süresi, fizik muayene bulguları, BASMI, BASDAI, BASDAI'nin entezisle ilgili sorusu, BASFI, ASQoL, SF 36 arasında belirgin anlamlı ilişki saptandı. Ağrı değerlendiriminde istirahat ağrısı, aktivite ağrısına kıyasla daha belirgin ilişki gösterdi. DİSH hastalarında MASES ve MEI'nin, hastalık süresi, AKŞ, ağrı ve SF 36 ile belirgin ilişki gösterdiği bulundu.Sonuç: DİSH'te entezopatik tutulum ağrı ve fonksiyon bakımından AS kadar önemli ve üzerinde durulması gereken bir durumdur. DİSH'in non-inflamatuvar ve ileri deformite yapmaması, bu tutulumun ihmal edilmesine neden olabilir. Entezit tutulumlarına yönelik yapılacak ileri görüntüleme yöntemleri hem AS, hem DİSH'li olgularımızda patolojiyi daha objektif ve net olarak ortaya koyacaktır. DİSH'li olgularda da AS benzer fonksiyonel, enetzis ve ağrı değerlendirme ölçütlerine ihtiyaç vardır.Anahtar kelimeler: Ankilozan spondilit, Diffüz idiopatik iskeletsel hiperostozis,Entezopati. Aim: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) are both of two diseases that characterized with enthesopathy. AS is an inflammatory disease in contrast to DISH which is a non-inflammatory disease. İnvolvement of the enthesis plays a key role in determining the disease activity in patients with AS. In this study, two different groups of disease in respect to enthesopathic involvement was investigated by using indexes defined in AS. In addition the effects of this involvement on clinical, laboratory and functional parameters were searched.Materials and Methods: 30 adult patients diagnosed with AS according to Modified Newyork criteria and 18 adult patients diagnosed with DISH corresponds to Utsinger and Resnick?s radiological diagnostic criteria were enrolled in the study. Patients who have an inflammatory rheumatic disease except to AS and DİSH and other serious systemic illness disrupts the general status were excluded. All patients' demographic, clinical, functional, and laboratory findings were evaluated once time in cross-sectionally. Pain in resting and during the activity was evaluated with visual analog scale (VAS). MASES (Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score) and MEI (Mander Enthesitis Index) indexes were performed for evaluation of the enthesopathic involvement all of the patients. SF 36 (Short Form-36) questionnaire were asked for pain and physical function. Disease activity index BASDAI (Bath AS Disease Activity Index), the functional index BASFI (Bath AS Functional Index) and ASQOL (AS Quality of Life Questionnaire) were used to assess quality of life solely in patients with AS.Results: In our study, there were no statistically significant differences between the patients with AS and DISH in respect to enthesis assessment indices (MEI, MASES), pain (VAS) and SF-36 physical function and pain subscales. Patients with AS showed a significant limitation in the measured parameters of the physical examination compared with the DISH patients. Most effected enthesitis region was found lumbar 5 vertebral spinous proces in both of group patients of MASES index. MASES and MEI scores in patients with AS were showed significant correlations with duration of disease, physical examination findings, BASMI, BASDAI, the question of enthesis in BASDAI, BASFI, ASQoL and SF-36 scores. The rest pain was found more statistically than pain during the activity correlated with the MASES and MEI scores in AS. MEI and MASES indexes were showed significant associations with disease duration, fasting blood glucose, pain (VAS) and SF-36 pain and physical function subscales in patients with DISH.Conclusion: Entesopathic involvement in the DISH is an important issue as much as AS regarding with pain and impairment in the functional status. DISH was considered a non-inflammatory and non-deforming disease. We think this is a reason of neglect entesopathic involvement in this disease. Advanced radiological imaging techniques to assess enthesitis could be depicted pathology more clearly and objectively in cases with DISH and AS. The indexes are necessary to evaluate functional status, entesopathic involvement and pain in cases with DISH similar to AS.Key words: Ankylosing spondylitis, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, enthesopathy. 78

Rheumatology ,Romatoloji - Abstract
Dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık %1'ini etkileyen, en yaygın otoimmün hastalıklardan biri olan Romatoid Artrit (RA), gecikmiş tanı ve tedavi sonucunda engelliliğe, yaşam kalitesinin azalmasına ve hatta erken ölüme sebep olabilir. RA tanısının erken konulması ve ilerleyişinin önceden belirlenmesi son yıllarda üzerinde yoğun araştırma yapılan önemli bir konudur. Çünkü ancak erken tanı ve progresyonun önceden belirlenmesi ile etkin tedaviler uygulanıp mortalite ve morbiditenin önüne geçilebilir.Çalışmamızda 5 yıldan daha az hastalık süresi olan hastalarda 6 aylık takip sürecinde klinik, laboratuar ve radyolojik değerlendirme ile hastalığın progresyonunu ve buna etki eden faktörleri araştırmayı amaçladık.Çalışmaya hastalık süresi 5 yıldan daha az olan 41 RA hastası ve 40 sağlıklı gönüllü dâhil edildi. Her hasta 0, 3 ve 6. aylarda ayrıntılı fizik muayene ile sonrasında laboratuvar ve radyolojik parametrelerle değerlendirildiler.Klinik değerlendirmede sabah tutukluğu süresi, aktivite ve istirahat ağrısı (VAS), hekim ve hasta global değerlendirmesi (VAS) sorgulandı. Ayrıntılı fizik muayene ile hassas eklem ve şiş eklem sayısı belirlendi. Hastalık aktivitesi için DAS 28 hesaplandı. Fonksiyonel değerlendirme için HAQ kullanıldı. Laboratuarda Anti MCV, Anti CCP ve RF analizi yapıldı. Her hastaya başlangıç ve 6. aylarda el- el bilek radyografisi, başlangıç, 3. ve 6. aylarda MR görüntüleme uygulandı. Radyografiler modifiye Sharp Van der Heijde skorlama sistemine göre, MR görüntüleri ise OMERACT RAMRIS skorlama sistemine göre skorlandırıldı.6. ayda hem MR görüntüleme ile hem de radyografi ile saptanan erozyon skorlarının arttığı gözlendi. 6. ayda radyolojik erozyonlarla arasında korelasyon saptanan tek laboratuvar parametresi Anti MVC idi. Çalışma boyunca tüm takiplerde Anti CCP, Anti MCV ve RF arasında anlamlı korelâsyon saptandı. 6. ayda hem MR görüntüleme hem de konvansiyonel radyografi ile saptanan erozyon skorlarının Anti MCV pozitif hasta grubunda negatif gruba kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Ayrıca Anti MCV, Anti CCP ve RF pozitif hasta gruplarında negatif gruplara kıyasla Sharp VDH erozyon skorlarında anlamlı artış saptandı. Anti CCP ve Anti MCV antikorlarının RA' da tanısal değeri yanı sıra tedavi kararını etkileyebilecek potansiyele sahip birer belirteç oldukları düşünülebilir. Ancak Anti CCP ve RF' nin izlem boyunca bazı dönemlerde klinik ve radyoloji ile tutarlı olmayan ilişkiler gösterdiği gözlendi. Buna karşın Anti MCV' de benzer bir tutarsızlık saptanmadı. Bu bulgularımıza dayanarak Anti MCV' nin erken tanıdan ziyade radyolojik olarak kötü prognozu ayırt etmede daha tutarlı bir tetkik olduğu kanısına varılabilir. RA is one of the most common autoimmune diseases, affecting about 1% of the world's population. It may cause disability, decreased quality of life and even death as a results of late of diagnosis and treatment. Early diagnosis of RA and prediction of the progression are important issues of intensive research recently.Effective treatments can be avoid morbidity and mortality by early diagnosis and prediction of progression.The aim of the our study was to investigate disease progression and factors affecting clinical, laboratory and radiological involvement in patients with RA whose disease duration less than 5 years. 41 RA patients were followed 6-months follow-up period. In addition 40 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study.Each patient was evaluated at 0, 3 and 6 months with detailed physical examination, laboratory and radiological parameters.Duration of morning stiffness (min), activity and rest pain (VAS), patient and doctor global assesment (VAS) were questioned for clinical assessment. Number of tender and swollen joints were determined in detailed physical examination. DAS 28 calculated for disease activity. HAQ was used for functional assesment. Radiographs of hands were taken at the beginning and 6th month, MR imagings of the hands and wrists were performed at inclusion, 3rd month and 6th month. Radiographs of hands were scored according to modified Sharp Van Der Heijde method. MR images were scored according to OMERACT RAMRIS scoring system.Erosion scores in the radiography and MRI were found to be increased compared to the first visit and 6th months. detected by both radiography and MR imaging was observed at 6th months. Anti MCV was the only laboratory parameter that correlated to the radiographic erosions. Significant correlations were observed between Anti MCV, Anti CCP and RF antibodies during the study period. Erosion scores in the conventional radiography and MRI, were higher in Anti-MCV-positive patient group than the negative group at 6th month visit. In addition, Anti-MCV, anti CCP and RF-positive patient groups compared with negative groups showed a significant increase in Sharp VDH erosion scores troughout the follow up period.In the conclusion, our results suggested that Anti-CCP and Anti-MCV antibodies in the patients with RA are thought to be as indicators for the effectiveness of the treatment, besides of the diagnostic values. In contrast to anti MCV antibody, Anti CCP ve RF antibodies showed inconsistent correlation between the clinical and radiological parameters. There were significant correlations between the Anti MCV and especially radiographic erosion scores. Therefore, Anti-MCV may be an usefull predictor to identify the patients with poor radiological prognosis rather than early diagnosis of the disease. 95

- Abstract
Objectives: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral nerve compression syndrome. This study aims to evaluate the additive contribution of phonophoresis and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to tendon and nerve gliding exercises electrophysiologically, ultrasonographically, and clinically in the treatment of moderate CTS., Methods: The sample consisted of 45 patients with moderate CTS, randomized into three groups. Group 1 received phonophoresis and exercise, Group 2 received LLLT and exercise, and Group 3 received exercise alone. Participants were evaluated electrophysiologically, clinically, and ultrasonographically before treatment and at the 6th and 12th weeks after the treatment., Results: An improvement was observed in clinical parameters (Boston Functional Status Scale, Boston Symptom Severity Scale, visual analog scale at rest, and visual analog scale during activity) for all groups at the 6th and 12th weeks after the treatment (p<0.05). An improvement was also noted in the ultrasonographic parameter (cross-sectional area) for all groups at the 12th week after the treatment (p=0.017)., Conclusion: Phonophoresis and LLLT do not provide additional effects to exercise therapy. Exercise therapy alone may positively contribute to ultrasonographic and clinical outcomes in the treatment of moderate CTS.

- Abstract
Objectives: The aims of the study were to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia and renin-angiotensin system-related disorders and to explore the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers on muscle mass/function and physical performance., Design: This multicenter, cross-sectional study was performed using ISarcoPRM algorithm for the diagnosis of sarcopenia., Results: Of the 2613 participants (mean age = 61.0 ± 9.5 yrs), 1775 (67.9%) were hypertensive. All sarcopenia-related parameters (except chair stand test in males) were worse in hypertensive group than in normotensive group (all P < 0.05). When clinical/potential confounders were adjusted, hypertension was found to be an independent predictor of sarcopenia in males (odds ratio = 2.403 [95% confidence interval = 1.514-3.813]) and females (odds ratio = 1.906 [95% confidence interval = 1.328-2.734], both P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, we found that all sarcopenia-related parameters (except grip strength and chair stand test in males) were independently/negatively related to hypertension (all P < 0.05). In females, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors users had higher grip strength and chair stand test performance values but had lower anterior thigh muscle thickness and gait speed values, as compared with those using angiotensin II receptor blockers (all P < 0.05)., Conclusions: Hypertension was associated with increased risk of sarcopenia at least 2 times. Among antihypertensives, while angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors had higher muscle function values, angiotensin II receptor blockers had higher muscle mass and physical performance values only in females., Competing Interests: Financial disclosure statements have been obtained, and no conflicts of interest have been reported by the authors or by any individuals in control of the content of this article., (Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
