(Springer Publishing Co, 2024) Yesil, Yesim; Oner, Serap; Celik, Gulbiye Dinc; Bay, Habibe; Eksioglu, Aysun; Turfan, Esin Ceber
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of the delivery method on breastfeeding status of primiparous mothers during the first 24 hours. Methods: In this descriptive and analytical study, the sample consisted of 126 primiparous mothers with vaginal (n = 54) and cesarean (n = 72) deliveries. The research data were collected in a hospital through a personal information form and LATCH. Breastfeeding was assessed at the 6th, 12th, and 24th hours within the first 24 -hour period after the delivery. Results: A total of 83.3% of mothers with vaginal delivery started out breastfeeding in the first hour, while the rate was 43.1% for mothers with cesarean delivery. A total of 94.4% of mothers who had vaginal birth gave their babies colostrum, whereas the rate was 80.6% for mothers who had a cesarean birth. While there were no statistically significant differences in Applications 1 and 3 between the LATCH scores of mothers with vaginal and cesarean deliveries, Application 2 produced a significant difference (p < .05). Conclusions: Delivery method influenced the breastfeeding behavior and had an impact particularly on initiation of breastfeeding in the first hour.
Effects of Concomitant Use of N-acetylcysteine and Cyclosporine A on Acetaminophen-induced Acute Kidney Injury in Mice
(Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2024) Kocamueftueoglu, Gonca Ozan; Tektemur, Nalan Kaya; Guzel, Elif Erdem; Tektemur, Ahmet; Ozan, Ibrahim Enver
Background: Acetaminophen (APAP), a commonly used analgesic, causes acute kidney injury (AKI) in overdose although it is rare. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a major role in the pathophysiology of renal damage, although the exact molecular mechanism is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of cyclosporin A (CsA), a mitochondrial membrane permeability Methods: Male BALB/c mice were divided into Control, APAP, APAP+NAC, APAP+CsA and APAP+NAC+CsA groups (n=6). A single dose of APAP (400 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally. All other treatments (1200 mg/kg NAC, 50 mg/kg CsA) were performed intraperitoneally 3 h after APAP administration. All animals were decapitated and blood samples and kidney tissue samples were collected for evaluation. Serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were measured. The kidney tissue 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), cytochrome c (Cytc) and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) levels and cytochrome c (Cytc) expressions were determined. Result: Increased Cr and BUN levels, histopathological examinations and expressions of 8-OHdG, 3-NT and Cytc were detected in the APAP group. Combined NAC+CsA treatment sufficiently reversed oxidative stress, serum Cr and BUN levels and histopathological alterations induced by APAP. Moreover, cytc levels and renal tubular injury were remarkably reduced by combined drug treatment compared to the APAP+NAC group. These data suggest that the therapeutic effect of combined NAC+CsA treatment in mice with APAP-induced nephrotoxicity can be related to the combination of the antioxidant effect of NAC and the mitochondrial MPTP inhibitor effect of CsA.
Evaluation of Nurses' and Midwives' Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Recognizing Violence Against Women
(Womens Health & Action Research Centre, 2024) Donmez, Ayseguel; Yesil, Yesim
The study was cross-sectional research that surveyed 410 nurses and midwives from March 2020 to March 2021 in Turkey. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of nurses and midwives towards recognizing violence against women. The "Scale for Nurses' and Midwives' Recognition of the Symptoms of Violence against Women" were used. The average total scale score was 20.3 +/- 3.2. The score of participants who are receiving postgraduate education, working in the field of gynaecology and obstetrics, and considering intervention as a professional responsibility when encountering a woman who has experienced violence was found to be significantly higher than the other groups (p<.05). It is important for midwives and nurses to be aware of signs of violence to identify violence against women. Providing education to midwives and nurses regarding signs of violence against women will contribute to the recognition, prevention, and awareness of violence.
