Turkish Translation/Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Analyses of the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS).

In this study we translated the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) into Turkish, adapted the instrument culturally, examined its psychometric properties within a Turkish population, and identified its limitations. We administered the AHEMD-IS to families of 65 premature or full-term Turkish infants and repeated this testing for 17 families after one-two weeks to establish test-retest reliability. We calculated the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach alpha coefficient to assess reliability, and we evaluated test validity using the Spearman's correlation coefficient and correlations with the Bayley-III motor development score.

Congenital Rubella syndrome: A short report and literature review.

Rubella infections are rarely seen where immunization programmes are in place. Congenital rubella syndrome is however still observed where the vaccination programme against rubella is not administered or interrupted. We present such a case, with typical clinical anomalies including congenital cataracts, sensorineural hearing loss and bone lesions.

Hepatic Fat Quantification With Novel Ultrasound Based Techniques: A Diagnostic Performance Study Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging Proton Density Fat Fraction as Reference Standard.

To assess the diagnostic performances of novel Tissue attenuation imaging (TAI) and Tissue scatter distribution imaging (TSI) tools in quantification of liver fat content using magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI PDFF) as reference standard. Eighty consecutive patients with known or suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) who volunteered to participate in the study comprised the study cohort. All patients underwent MRI PDFF scan and quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging using TAI and TSI tools.

Comparison of safety and efficacy of silicone hydrogel contact Lens-assisted CXL and accelerated CXL in keratoconus patients with thin corneas.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of silicone hydrogel contact lens-assisted corneal cross-linking (CL-CXL) and compare 12-month visual and topographic outcomes with accelerated CXL using hypo-osmolar riboflavin (A-CXL) in keratoconus patients with thin corneas (below 400 μm with epithelium).

Methods: This retrospective study included 27 eyes of 27 keratoconus patients who underwent CL-CXL (n = 14) or A-CXL (n = 13). Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA) and data obtained from corneal topography were analyzed at baseline and again at 6- and 12-month follow-ups.

Expert recommendations for the management of diabetic macular edema with intravitreal dexamethasone implant: A Turkish Delphi study.

Purpose: To provide consensus on the clinical use of intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in Turkey.

Methods: A panel of 22 retina experts prepared 77 statements of recommendation, and 80 retinal specialists practicing in Turkey were chosen to vote either in support or against each one. A Delphi-based method was used through which the ophthalmologists were able to view all of the results anonymously after two rounds and modify their subsequent answers.

Association between nursing work stress, burnout and nosocomial infection rate in a neonatal intensive care unit in Hargeisa, Somaliland.

Our study looks at the effects of burnout and stress levels of nurses, behaviour regarding medical waste, and other effective risk factors on the first time and recurrent diagnosis of nosocomial infection (NI) in neonatal intensive care units in Hargeisa, Somaliland. This multicentric follow-up study was conducted and repeated measurements were taken from 72 neonates and 45 nurses working in three hospitals for a period of five months. Nurses with high burnout levels had 3.

Added Value of CT Pelvic Bone Unfolding Software to Radiologist Performance in Detecting Osteoblastic Pelvic Bone Lesions in Patients With Prostate Cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate the contribution of CT Bone Unfolding software to the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency for the detection of osteoblastic pelvic bone lesions in patients with prostate cancer.

Methods: A total of 102 consecutive (January 2016-September 2019) patients who underwent abdominopelvic CT with prostate cancer were retrospectively evaluated for osteoblastic pelvic bone lesions, using commercially available the post-processing-pelvic bone flattening-image software package "CT Bone Unfolding." Two radiologists with 3 and 15 years of experience in abdominal radiology evaluated CT image data sets independently in 2 separate reading sessions.
