    Correlations between transverse carpal ligament thickness measured on ultrasound and severity of carpal tunnel syndrome on electromyography and disease duration
    (Elsevier, 2022) Ari, B.; Akcicek, M.; Tasci, I.; Altunkilic, T.; Deniz, S.
    This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between transverse carpal ligament thickness on ultrasonography and disease severity according to electromyography findings. Fifty-eight patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, aged 30-75 years, with severe (Group 1) or moderate (Group 2) electromyography findings, who underwent surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome complaints in the previous 2 years were enrolled. Patient characteristics and clinical information were recorded. The patients completed the Boston carpal tunnel syndrome questionnaire and visual analog scale (VAS) pain score. Ultrasonography and electromyography records were examined. Electromyography showed that the median nerve area was similar in the two groups. Mean age, transverse carpal ligament thickness and symptom duration were greater in group 1, but not significantly. Mean VAS and Boston scores were significantly higher in group 1. Symptom duration did not affect median nerve area. Nerve area did not correlate significantly with VAS or Boston scores, transverse carpal ligament thickness or mean age, although averages were higher in patients with long symptom duration. Disease severity and symptom duration did not affect the ultrasonography findings. Disease severity in carpal tunnel syndrome could not be determined by measuring transverse carpal ligament thickness and median nerve area on ultrasonography without electromyography. (C) 2022 SFCM.

    Psychological Effects of Earthquake on Health Professionals: Investigation of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Related Factors
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2025) Deniz, S.; Inceoglu, F.; Koca, M.
    Background:Earthquake is characterized as an event that can cause trauma. Earthquake Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is expressed as a disorder that basically causes intense anxiety in the individual and seriously impairs the functioning of the individual when the individual witnesses events such as death or serious injury.Aim:This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder among health professionals after the earthquake.Methods:The study was conducted on healthcare workers working at Malatya Training and Research Hospital after the February 2023 earthquakes. In the analyses conducted with SEM, the sample size is required to be 200 or more. Accordingly, 379 participants were recruited for the study.Results:The overall mean score of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale was calculated as 44.48, and the mean score of the Impact of Events Scale was calculated as 49.76. Re-experiencing scores had statistically significant effects on hyper arousal (beta 1 = 0.808; P = 0.001), negative changes (beta 1 = 0.651; P = 0.001), and avoidance (beta 1 = 0.767; P = 0.001) scores. Avoidance scores had a statistically significant effect only on the negative changes score (beta 1 = 0.149; P = 0.001).Conclusion:As a result of the research, the prevalence of long-term PTSD among healthcare workers living in the earthquake zone was determined as 46.7%. This result revealed that the effects of PTSD were widely seen even approximately 1.5 years after the earthquake disaster. It has been found that the recollection of events due to sudden trauma experienced by individuals affects post-traumatic stress disorder.
