    (Soc Personality Res Inc, 2008) Kara, Ismail Hamdi; Demir, Dogan; Erdem, Oezguer; Sayin, Guelfer Topcu; Yildiz, Nuran; Yaman, Hakan
    Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) among nurses and healthcare workers was evaluated via a questionnaire examining CFS, sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, work capacity and education. The criteria of the Centers for Disease Control were applied. One hundred and eighty-three nurses and 18 healthcare workers (mean age 29.04 +/- 5.31 years) participated. More than half of cases (n = 116, 57.7%) complained of fatigue. Thirty-six cases (17.9%) fully matched the criteria of the CDC for CFS. High income level (> $400/month) (p = 0.005) and overworking (> 8 hr/day) (p = 0.017) had a significant effect on CFS [high income (OR: 9.60, CI, 95%: 1.98 - 46.54) and overworking (OR: 7.66, CI, 95%: 1.44 - 40.92), respectively]. CFS was also related to being under 35 years old.

    The Comparing of the sociodemographic features, anthropometric and biochemical parameters of the cases with Metabolic Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and healthy controls
    (Duzce Univ, 2010) Demir, Dogan; Bucaktepe, Gamze Erten; Kara, Ismail Hamdi
    Aim: In this study, it was aimed to compare the sociodemographic features and biochemical parameters of the patients with Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) with control group. Material and Method: In this study, among the patients who applied to Dicle University Faculty of Medicine Family Practice outpatient policlinic, 32 patients with MS, 21 patients with Type 2 DM were taken and 21 patients were selected for control group. Patients with MS and Type 2 DM were compared with control group according to their sociodemographic, anthropometric and biochemical parameters. Results: Of 74 patients applied to the study, 29 were female and 45 were male. There weren't any statistical differences about gender, education, diet and exercise between the three groups (respectively, p=0,224, p=0,216, p=0,234 and p=0,504). W/H ratios, BMI and ages were statistically meaningful between three groups (respectively p=0,001, p=0,005 and p=0,0001). Patients with MS had higher W/H ratios and BMI values. HOMA-IR values were increasing with age (r=0,295, p= 0,011), also there was a positive correlation between HOMA-IR and T. CHOL/HDL ratios (r=0.296, p=0.010). Conclusion: While HOMA-IR values were significantly higher in Type 2 DM group, any differences between MS and control group were not detected. Also in both two study groups, HOMA-IR values were increasing with age and there was a positive correlation between HOMA-IR and T. CHOL/HDL ratios. BMI values were positively correlated with systolic and diastolic blood pressures and also W/h ratios. TG values were increasing with W/H ratios.

    Pseudoxantoma elasticum, as repetitive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage cause in a pregnant woman
    (W J G Press, 2007) Goral, Vedat; Demir, Dogan; Tuzun, Yekta; Keklikci, Ugur; Buyukbayram, Huseyin; Bayan, Kadim; Uyar, Asur
    Pseudoxantoma elasticum is a rare, hereditary, multisystemic disease affecting the skin, eye, and cardiovascular system. A twenty-eight-year-old female has presented to emergency unit with the complaint of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. This patient, who had been monitored in the gastroenterology clinic more than 10 times in the past 8 years, noted a repetitive hemorrhage during her previous pregnancy in her history. The examination of the patient revealed the following signs and symptoms: atrophy in the epithelium of the retina pigment; typical angioid streaks and peau d'orange finding in the fundus; thinning of the retinal nerve fiber in OCT (optic coherence tomography); bilateral and reticular papillary lesions with yellowish-color in the neck region (plucked chicken appearance); presence of bleeding foci in fundus; and nephrocalcinosis in kidneys. In light of these symptoms, the patient was diagnosed with pseudoxantoma elasticum. Skin biopsy confirmed the pseudoxantoma elasticurn diagnose. PXE is an uncommon, hereditary disease. Early diagnosis of pseudoxantoma elasticurn cases, is important for minimalizing systemic complications and informing the other family members through genetic counseling. (C) 2007 WJG.
