    (Yerkure Tanitim & Yayincilik Hizmetleri A S, 2007) Ozen, Sakir; Antar, Saliha; Ozkan, Mustafa
    In this study we aimed to determine the effect of childhood traumas on hopelessness, smoking and alcohol use in university students and to study the relationships between their sex and familial characteristics. We applied Hopelessness Scale (HS), The Boratav Depression Screening Scale (BORDEPTA), Social Comparison Scale (SCS), The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and Personnel Information Form, respectively to 1.026 students (male: 605, female: 421) in last year of various faculties of Dicle University. Mean age of students was 23.2 +/- 2.1; 47 % of their mothers and 13 % of their fathers were illiterate. Mean scores of scales were: CTQ=71.5 +/- 19.9; HS=5.9 +/- 4.6; BORDEPTA=7.3 +/- 4.7; SCS=80 +/- 16.1. Mean score of BORDEPTA scales were higher in females, but mean scores of other scales were higher in males. The rate of every day smokers was 33 % and the rate of alcohol use several times a week was 4 %. Scores of CTQ, HS and BORDEPTA were higher in smokers than non-smokers (r=0.075, p=0.008; r=0.105, p<0.001; r=0.132, p<0.001; respectively); however only BORDEPTA scores were higher in alcohol user students than others (r=0.066, p=0.017). In Stepwise linear regression analysis, the most descriptive variabl of CTQ-total scores was high HS scores in male students and high BORDEPTA scores in females. Emotional, physical and sexual traumas in childhood maintain their negative effects on last year university students who are about to into life struggle actively. Such experience lead to hopelessness for the future, depressive temperament, negative self perception and inclination to smoking in these students.

    Objective: In this study, comparison of state and trait anxiety levels of office workers on monday and on thursday was aimed. Method: On monday morning, sociodemographical form, State Anxiety Inventory (SAI), Trait Anxiety Inventory (TAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were delivered to the 230 office workers. The data collected from 144 participants were usable. On thursday morning (3 days after) anxiety inventories were delivered again to these 144 workers. Complete and valid forms were collected from 61 participants. Results: The mean SAI scores of 61 participants on monday and on thursday were 44.4+10.2 and 42.2+9.9 (t= 2.226, p= 0.030) respectively; whereas their TAI scores were 44.7 +/- 8.8 and 43.0 +/- 8.2 (t= 2.123, p= 0.038) respectively. Mean BDI scores was 14.4 +/- 10.5. Mean TAI scores of workers both on monday and thursday were higher than managers'. Similarly, mean BDI score of workers on Monday was also higher than managers'. Mean TAI scores was higher in middle aged workers than youngs and higher in women than men. Additionally, mean SAI and TAI scores of high school graduates were higher than university graduates'. Conclusion: Relatively higher levels of anxiety on monday was found to be associated with woman gender, being over middle ages, longer job experience in the same work, lower education level, and being blue collar employee.

    Valproate Induced Hypoactive Delirium in a Bipolar Disorder Patient with Psychotic Features
    (Turkiye Sinir Ve Ruh Sagligi Dernegi, 2010) Ozen, Sakir; Bulbul, Israfil; Soyucok, Etem
    Delirium may present with hyperactive, hypoactive or mixed clinical pictures. The signs of hypoactive delirium Ore lethargy, confusion, apathy, hypersomnia, muttering, difficulty in maintaining attention, and difficulty in understanding and performing commands. Valproate is commonly used for the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorders. It is also used for the management of alcohol withdrawal delirium and agitative-aggressive deliriums. However few reports are available about the valproate-induced delirium. In this report, we present a 46 years-old woman with bipolar disorder for 14 years. During her lost two hospital admissions, she had been diagnosed with manic episode with psychotic features and she had received valproate. She experienced three hypoactive delirium episodes lasting 2-3 days throughout the treatment period of first week. The patient predominantly had the following signs; vomiting, hypersalivation, confusion, drowsiness, dysphasia, and hypoactivity. At the first day of delirium episode, serum valproate level was found to be within the therapeutic range (98.4, 117.1, and 65.6 mu g/ml, respectively). In addition, she had normal results of cranial MRI, complete blood count, urine analysis, electrocardiogram, ALT, AST albumin, bilirubin, BUN, creatinine and electrolytes. The serum ammonia level of the patient could not been measured due to limitations of laboratory facilities. The patient's consciousness improved dramatically 2-3 days after cessation of valproate. In conclusion, valproate can induce delirium at therapeutic blood levels in some patients via various mechanisms and this side effect has to be considered during valproate use.
