Editorial Decreased Stuttering While Walking: Speech and Fmri Findings(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Oge-Dasdogen, Ozlem; Ulasoglu-Yildiz, Cigdem; Kurt, Elif; Demiralp, Tamer; Dasdogen, Ozlem Oge[No Abstract Available]Article Relationship Between Coronaphobia, Cognitive Functions, Sleep Quality, and Diet Quality in Older Adults During Covid-19(Galenos Publ House, 2024) Balci, Leyla Atas; Polat, Selda; Coskunsu, Dilber Karagoezoglu; Altuncevahir, Ilayda; Koc, Bilge Meral; Ozkul, EcenurObjective: The relationship between the quality of diet and sleep, cognitive function, and fear related to coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) among older adults in Turkey during the pandemic remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between diet quality, cognitive function, sleep quality, and levels of coronaphobia in individuals aged 65 and above, to understand the impact of COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Sleep quality, diet quality, coronaphobia, and cognitive status of 72 older individuals were evaluated using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, healthy eating index 2010, Montreal cognitive assessment scale, and coronavirus-19 phobia scale, respectively. Results: The participants had poor diet quality (54.2%), poor sleep quality (62.5%), obesity (41.7%), higher levels of coronaphobia, and cognitive impairment. There was a moderate negative relationship between sleep quality and coronaphobia and between cognitive status and coronaphobia (p <= 0.00); and a weak positive relationship between diet quality and cognitive status (p<0.05). However, no relationship was found between sleep quality and diet quality, and between coronaphobia and diet quality (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study highlights the significant challenges faced by older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, including poor nutrition quality, sleep disturbances, coronaphobia, and cognitive impairment. Our findings suggest a potential interplay between nutrition quality, sleep patterns, and cognitive function among older adults, with those experiencing coronaphobia exhibiting additional cognitive and sleep-related concerns. We advocate the implementation of targeted interventions aimed at mitigating cognitive impairment, addressing nutritional deficiencies, and improving sleep quality among older adults, irrespective of COVID-19 infection status, to enhance overall well-being during these challenging times.Review Citation - WoS: 1Update on the First Year of Covid-19(Galenos Publ House, 2021) Kahraman Kilbas, Elmas Pinar; AltindIS, Mustafa; Yilancioglu, Kaan; TekIn, Ishak Ozel; Buran, Duran; Ozkan, Secil; Ilhan, Mustafa NecmiThe current outbreak of the Coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2, which originated in the Wuhan province of the People's Republic of China became a pandemic. Although the clinical findings of the infection vary in adults, the most common symptoms are fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath. The diagnosis of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is made by clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and radiological methods. Many drugs such as antivirals, antibiotics, and corticosteroids are used in the treatment of COVID-19. For the successful control of the pandemic, prevention strategies are the key. There is strong consensus that, in addition to wearing masks, hand hygiene, and social distancing, an effective COVID-19 vaccine is probably the most effective approach to sustainably control the pandemic. In this article, current information about the pathogenesis, epidemiology, risk groups, diagnosis, treatment, prevention strategies, and vaccination of the disease in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed.Article Saliva in the Diagnosis of Covid-19(Galenos Publ House, 2021) Kilbas, Elmas Pinar Kahraman; Altindis, Mustafa; Kahraman Kilbaş, Elmas PinarThe use of saliva samples for the diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) provides several advantages over the use of nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, such as comfort, ease of self-collection, less use of personal protective equipment, and protection of healthcare personnel from transmission. This review included current studies using saliva samples for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, comparing its sensitivity, cycle threshold, and specificity with those of NP swab. In the literature, the sensitivity rates of saliva samples in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 ranged from 70% to 98%. Despite different opinions, we concluded that saliva is a reliable sample for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. However, studies with large samples and comparing different diagnostic methods are needed to reach precise and reliable results and include saliva collection in diagnostic guidelines.
