Safety, feasibility and indications of transabdominal oocyte pick-up: Initial experience
(World Scientific, 2026) Turan, Volkan; Öktem, Özgür
Although the transvaginal route is the preferred method for the oocyte retrieval procedure, the transabdominal (TA) route may be preferred in certain conditions. In this opinion we presented our experience with TA oocyte pick-up in 101 patients across several different indications and assessed the safety of the procedure.
The use of bispectral index for monitorization of the depth of sedation in procedural sedoanalgesia in the emergency department
(Bayrakol Medical Publisher, 2026) Gökdağ, Eren; Sarı Doğan, Fatma; Yılmaz, Sarper
Aim: To determine the effectiveness of the Bispectral Index (BIS) measurement as an objective criterion for measuring the depth of sedation in the emergency department (ED) by comparing it with the Modified Ramsey Sedation Scale (MRSS), which is a clinical scale for measuring sedation depth. Methods: In this study, the compatibility of BIS values and MRSS values at the moment when the patients reached clinically appropriate sedation depth for intervention in those requiring sedation-analgesia in the ED due to extremity trauma were compared. Results: No statistically significant correlation was found between patients’ initial MRSS scores at the time of intervention and either their initial or minimum BIS values (p>0.05). A moderate negative correlation (r=-0.432, p=0.022) was observed between the MRSS values and the minimum BIS readings. No statistically significant difference was observed in minimum BIS values based on the sedative agent administered (p>0.05). Conclusion: In this study, a moderate correlation was found between the lowest BIS values and the MRSS scores corresponding to those BIS values. Although further comprehensive and detailed studies are necessary to establish the limitations and optimal use of BIS monitoring during procedural sedation-analgesia in the ED—especially considering both existing literature and the limitations of this study—BIS appears to be a promising alternative to clinical sedation scales for monitoring sedation depth.
The relationship between sleep quality and dietary habits in apprentice jockeys
(IBPEFEX - Instituto Brasileiro de Pesquisa e Ensino em Fisiologia do Exercício, 2026) Ayar, Muttalip; Mor, Ömer; Şahin Anılgan, İrem Nur; Atar, Aslıhan; Özbey, Fatih
Introduction: Adequate sleep is vital for young athletes, and diet may play a role in sleep quality. This is especially relevant for apprentice jockeys who face unique physical and nutritional demands. Objective: To examine the relationship between dietary habits and sleep quality in apprentice jockeys at the Turkish Jockey Club Ekrem Kurt Apprentice Training Center. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male apprentice jockeys (15-18 years) completed 7-day food and fluid intake records. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Anthropometric measurements were collected. Associations between nutrient intake and PSQI components were analyzed with Spearman’s correlation. Results: The mean PSQI score was 4.96 ± 2.84, and 41.7% of participants were poor sleepers. Total energy and macronutrient intake were not associated with overall PSQI. However, certain nutrients showed meaningful relationships with specific sleep components. Higher zinc intake, especially in the evening, was linked to better subjective sleep quality, while higher evening fat intake was associated with poorer sleep. Protein and fat intake showed negative correlations with subjective sleep quality. Evening carbohydrate proportion was related to fewer sleep disturbances. Conclusions: Although overall dietary intake did not affect global sleep quality, selected nutrients and meal timing were associated with specific aspects of sleep.
Evaluation of the psychosocial aspects of the patients applying to the university cosmetology unit
(Unico's Medicine, 2026) Oraloğlu, Göktürk; Kuman Tunçel, Özlem; Elbi, Hayriye; Sağduyu, Ahmet Afşin; Ertam Sağduyu, İlgen
Objective: It is important to evaluate cosmetic patients psychologically and thus minimize potential adverse psychological outcomes that may occur after the procedure. This study aimed to investigate the psychosocial parameters in cosmetic patients. Materials and methods: Female patients (≥18 years old) who applied to the Ege University Dermatology and Venereal Diseases Department Cosmetology Unit were selected. ''Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale'', ''Body Image Coping Strategies Inventory'', ''Temperament and Character Inventory'', ''Dermatology Quality of Life Index'' and ''Life Events' Checklist-5 '' forms were applied to the patients. The obtained data were analyzed statistically. Results: There were 36 people in the case group and 34 participants in the control group. A statistically significant difference was not found regarding life quality, anxiety, body image disturbance, and personally experienced life events between the two groups. Reward dependence, empathy, and purposefulness were significantly higher in the cosmetic group. Conclusion: The life quality was not negatively affected, the incidence of anxiety and depression was low, traumatic events were rare, and positive rational acceptance was mostly chosen as the main method of coping with body image negativities in cosmetic patients. Compared with controls, cosmetic patients demonstrated higher reward dependence, empathy, and purposefulness scores, without evidence of increased psychopathology.
WCN26-6583 Oral lactoferrin in anemia of chronic kidney disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2026) Magal, Abhijith; Arslan, Felemez; Silva, Rafaela Pereira; Bayer, Ekin Şiar; Paiva de Almeida, Vitor
Introduction: Anemia is a prevalent and multifactorial complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), often driven by inflammation, impaired iron metabolism, and reduced erythropoietin production. Lactoferrin, an iron-binding glycoprotein with immunomodulatory and antimi crobial properties, has demonstrated efficacy in improving iron indices in general iron deficiency anemia. However, its role in CKD-associated anemia remains inadequately characterized. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of oral lactoferrin compared to standard-of care therapies—including iron supplementation and/or erythropoiesis stimulating agents—for the treatment of anemia in adult and pediatric CKD patients. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched through May 7, 2025. Data were pooled using a random-ef fects model, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. Sensitivity analyses and trial sequential analysis (TSA) were performed to assess robustness and adequacy of cumulative evidence. Results: Four studies comprising 413 participants were included in the final analysis. Lactoferrin supplementation was associated with a statistically significant increase in transferrin saturation (MD: 8.12%; 95% CI: [0.61, 15.63]; p = 0.03), while improvements in hemoglobin (MD: 0.66 g/dL; 95% CI: [-0.06, 1.38]; p = 0.07) and serum iron (MD: 19.20 mcg/dL; 95% CI: [-4.56, 42.96]; p = 0.11) did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Oral lactoferrin supplementation was associated with a significant improvement in transferrin saturation and a non-significant trend toward higher hemoglobin and serum iron levels in CKD-related anemia. While these findings suggest a potential role in improving functional iron availability, further well-designed trials are needed to confirm its clinical utility.
