The role of hematological parameters in distinguishing acute appendicitis from lymphoid hyperplasia.

Background: One of the most misdiagnosed appendicular pathologies is lymphoid hyperplasia (LH) that can be managed con-servatively when identified early and is self-limiting. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare acute appendicitis (AA) with LH in terms of hematological parameters to determine whether there is a hematological predictor to distinguish the two diseases.

Methods: Complete blood cell counts of patients with AA were compared with those having LH.

Background: In Turkey, childhood vaccination rates are decreasing in the context of increasingly visible antivaccination movements.

Aims: To evaluate the antivaccination movement based on communication experiences between family physicians and antivaccine parents in Turkey.

Methods: We conducted 39 face-to-face in-depth interviews with family physicians in Sakarya Province who had experiences of communicating with antivaccine parents during October-December 2019.

Outbreak anxiety scale: Development, validity, and reliability.

Objective: Epidemic and pandemic outbreak periods are as stressful for psychiatric symptoms as well as the physical symptoms of the epidemic disease and can trigger and aggravate psychiatric symptoms, especially anxiety. There is no scale specific to the outbreak period and which can be used in other outbreaks. In this study, it was planned to develop a scale to evaluate the anxiety associated with epidemic disease, especially during the epidemic period.

The efficiency of a mixed exercise program on quality of life and fatigue levels in patients with breast cancer.

Objective: Exercise is a nonpharmacological supportive therapy which has been specifically identified to reduce postoperative complications or adverse events of cancer or treatments. Although there are few studies combining resistance and aerobic exercise in cancer survivors, exercise programs are very rare in different places in the literature. This study aims to investigate the effects of mixed-type exercise in different venues on weight, body mass index, fatigue, and quality of life in cancer survivors.

In vitro activity of carvacrol in combination with meropenem against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
