Knowledge of Tuberculosis Among Health Higher School Students'
(DERMAN MEDICAL PUBL, 2015) Bayram Değer, Vasfiye; Inanc, Betul Battaloglu; Cifci, Sema
Aim: Aimed to determine students' tuberculosis (tbc) knowledge level and effectiveness of education. Material and Method: A questionnaire form which consisting of 10 questions was applied to Mardin Artuklu University Health School students in 18-19 April 2013 to determine their level of knowledge before and after a two-day training for tuberculosis. Results: 196 students' data were included. After training, most common right answers rate were initially 22.4% whose vaccinated necessary, 13.7% whose control after tbc patient close contact and 13.3% what was the tbc illness agent were learned by students. After training, the way of diagnosis to patient was remained basically same, right answers rate decreased 1.5% which organs influence with tbc, 0.5% increased right answer rate for risk of spread tbc but remained lowest among the other right answers. Tbc disease agent is a bacteria, smudge with airway is agreed by the students' (p= 0.0001). Whose risk of developing tbc and how was treat patients was learned increasingly by students after training (p= 0.0001). Before training, awareness of the spread of tbc to lung, lymph node and brain membrane was known and was found significantly (p= 0.0001). After training, vaccination of infants (p< 0.001), and most common symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis (p= 0.0001) is shown statistically significant. After training was thought to diagnosed tbc with skin test was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Training was not change student's knowledge and approach this two points; whose control was necessary with tbc close contact persons' (p= 0.065) and what was the directly observed treatment (p= 0.058). Discussion: Although, our students' knowledge about tuberculosis is enough but continuing education programs, and updating of information must provide.
The Relation of Asthma and Allergic Diseases Diagnosed by Doctor With Fast Foods in Schoolchildren
(Duzce Univ, 2014) Inanc, Betul Battaloglu
Objective: It would not be right to link the reasons for the worldwide increase in incidents of childhood obesity and those of allergic diseases only to genetics. Obesity, asthma and allergic diseases can be prevented through the consumption of healthy food. In this study, children's eating habits, obesity, asthma and other allergic diseases were intended to determine their relationship with each other. Methods: In a high socioeconomic level school in Mardin, asthma and allergic diseases of children aged between 7-15 were diagnosed by a doctor, and their eating habits between meals, food types they buy from the school canteen and their family data were determined by survey. Results: Obesity and overweight was higher with the boys than the girls. 21.7% of the girls, 13.4% of the boys had allergic diseases. Allergic diseases were remarkably frequent with girls (p<0.0001). 1.6% of the girls and 2.3% of the boys had asthma. Allergic diseases was higher with the overweight and obese groups. Children who had breakfast regularly had significantly less tendency to be overweight or obese (p<0.00001). Conclusion: Genetic predisposition is the most important factor in emerging obesity and allergic diseases. However, it is not possible to explain the worldwide increase of obesity, allergic diseases and asthma only by genetics. The part played by complex dietary factors should be explained for obesity, asthma and other allergic diseases and understood through a multidisciplinary approach.

Short Stature and Low Weight in Schoolchildren
(Derman Medical Publ, 2015) Inanc, Betul Battaloglu
Aim: Evaluated the frequency of short stature and low weight between two primary school children aged 6-16 years of children in Mardin province in 2010 and 2011. Material and Method: Two elementary school children', heights and body weights were measured. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated with the formula; body weight (kg)/body height (m2). Short stature and low weight were statistically analyzed. Results: There were 834 (51%) boys and 804 (49%) girls. The mean body height, weight, BMI and age was 143.21 +/- 13.58. 38.38 +/- 13.06, 17.86 +/- 3.56 and 11.07 +/- 2.00, respectively. Boys mean body height. weight were 142.58 +/- 13.92, 37.87 +/- 12.83, respectively. Girls mean body height, weight were 143.86 +/- 13.19, 38.90 +/- 13.29, respectively. Height and weight difference was so significantly between gender (p<0.05), there was no difference between BMI(p>0.05). >= 85p. presence of children was statistically significant among the children with short stature (p<0.00) There was no one of the children tall in short stature children' (p<0.00). There were no difference between growth speed (p>0.05). Between schools' in the children BMI (p<0.00), height (p<0.05) and weight (p<0.00) were statistically different with each other. Discussion: Evaluate of growth and development status for children anthropometry is widely known as a very useful instrument. In school health working children' and family education should be handled together and teachers cooperation should be provide. Growth references lower and upper percentiles. should given to the teachers low or high measurement values should be advise to send the physician control.

Investigate Nasal Colonize Staphylococcus Species Biofilm Produced
(Derman Medical Publ, 2015) Demir, Cemil; Inanc, Betul Battaloglu
Aim: 127 S. aureus and 65 CoNS strains were isolated from patients noses'. To produce a biofilm ability was investigated using three different methods. Slime-positive and negative staphylococcies' resistance were evaluated against different antibiotics. Material and Method: Swap samples puted 7% blood agar. Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolates biofilm produced ability were investigated using Congo Red Agar (CRA), microplates (MP) and Standard Tube (ST) methods. In addition to that, presence of antibiotic resistance of the staphylococcal isolates are determined agar disc diffusion method. Results: The rate of biofilm producing Staphylococcus spp strains was found to be 72.4%, 67.7%, and 62.9%, respectively with CRA, MP, and ST tests. There was no significant relationship among the tests (p>0.05). In addition, antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus spp. against various antibiotics was also determined by the agar disk diffusion method. Resistance rates of biofilm positive (BP) Staphylococcus spp for penicilin G, ampicilin, amocycilin/clavulanic acid, tetracyclin, eritromycin, gentamycin, and enrofloxacin 71.7%, 69.7%, 6.2%, 20.7%, 21.4%, 1.4%, and 0.7%, respectively. Resistance rates of biofilm negative (BN) spp for 42.6%, 23.4%, 4.3%, 14.9%, 19.1%, 0.0%, 0.0% respectively. All Staphylococcus isolates were found to be susceptible to vancomycin and teicaplonin. Although BP strains antibiotic resistance rates were observed higher than BN strains. But resistance rates were not found statistically significant (p>0.05). Discussion: CRA is the reliablity and specifity method to determine Staphylococcus spp. biofilm produce ability.

Bell Palsy and Acupuncture Treatment
(Derman Medical Publ, 2013) Inanc, Betul Battaloglu
A 22-year-old female patient, a midwifery student, had treatment with corticosteroid and antiviral agents as soon as Bell Palsy (BP) was diagnosed (House-Breckman stage 6). Six weeks later, patient didn't recover, while in House-Breckman stage 3, acupuncture was perfomed and local and distal acupoints were used with ears, body and face. Ear acupuncture point was used two times with detection. In the course of six sessions body and face points were stimulated by electroacupuncture. After ten acupuncture treatments, the subjective symptoms and the facial motion on the affected side improved. There was an spotting ecchymosis the ST2 points on. The symmetry of the face is a determinant of facial charm and influences interpersonal attraction for adults, children and pregnant women. Medical options for the sequelae of BP are limited. Acupuncture's effectively in Bell palsy patients' should be shown with more clinical and electrophysiological studies.
