Publication Air pollution and pediatric respiratory hospital admissions in Bursa, Turkey: A time series study(Taylor & Francis, 2021-10-06) Ünal, Eda; Özdemir, Aysel; Khanjani, Narges; Dastoorpoor, Maryam; Özkaya, Güven; ÜNAL, EDA; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; ÖZKAYA, GÜVEN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Hemşirelik Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9247-9594; 0000-0002-0815-9505; 0000-0003-0297-846X; AAG-6837-2021; AAC-9352-2021; A-4421-2016We aimed to investigate the relation between air pollution and the number of daily hospitalizations due to pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis in children aged 0-18 in Bursa city of Turkey, between the years 2013-2018. The daily values of air pollutants (PM10, SO2, NO2, NOx, CO, and O3) from 2013 until 2018, were obtained. Adjusted Quasi-Poisson regression models including distributed lags, controlled for climate variables were used for data analysis. Increases in SO2, ozone, PMs, and nitrogen oxides were associated with pneumonia hospitalizations, increases in SO2 NOx and PMs were associated with asthma hospitalizations, and increases in SO2 and ozone were associated with bronchitis hospitalizations. Male hospitalization was related with SO2, ozone, and NOx; while female hospitalization was only related with SO2. This study showed that short-term exposure to air pollution is associated with an increased risk of pneumonia, asthma, and bronchitis hospitalization among children in Bursa.Publication Nutritional supplement use in high school students(Scibulcom, 2015-01-01) Özdemir, Aysel; Kocoğlu, Gonca; Utkualp, Nevin; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; UTKUALP, NEVİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi; 0000-0002-0815-9505; AAJ-1202-2021; AAC-9352-2021During adolescence development of healthy eating behaviours is vital for establishing a healthy growth period. In fact, healthy eating is adequate and balanced consumption of food, without necessity of nutritional supplements. We intended to evaluate nutritional supplements, such as antioxidative substances like vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids.The study was conducted in 9 high schools in Bursa. The students enrolled attended to 9-12th classes. The study utilised a face to face interview method, a questionnaire was applied and some data were collected from the school registries. Among 953 middle and high school students 56.9% were female (n = 542), 43.1% were male (n = 411). The mean age was 15.74 +/- 1.27. Majority of the students were from the Marmara region (54.7%). 7% of the students were taking nutritional supplements. Gender, BMI, school success, presence of health problems, smoking and alcohol consumption were associated with nutritional supplement consumption.In the market many herbal products are sold and are being consumed without proven effects and without clear safety marjins. Overdosing side effects are not so uncommon. Detection of high school students using these supplements in our study may address need of regulations in selling and buying of these products.Publication Oxidative stress and chronic diseases(Scibulcom, 2015-01-01) Utkualp, Nevin; Özdemir, Aysel; UTKUALP, NEVİN; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 0000-0002-0815-9505; AAJ-1202-2021; AAC-9352-2021It has been asserted that the DNA in each cell of human body is exposed to oxidative damage every day. The balance between the damage and repair on DNA breaks down during the disease conditions. Significantly for the treatment modalities it is important to know how oxidative stress affects the human organism during the chronic diseases. Also the rehabilitation of patient and improvement of the life quality of patient who has a chronic disease are considered to be important. In this context, recognition of the risks of chronic diseases (oxidative stress) is inadequate, and improving and supporting the treatments of these individuals who are under risks are necessary.Publication Attitudes of smoking and knowledge about substances in cigarette smoke in university students(Scibulcom, 2015-01-01) Özdemir, A.; Utkualp, N.; Özdemir, B.; Özdemir, L.; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; UTKUALP, NEVİN; ÖZDEMİR, BÜLENT; ÖZDEMİR, LEVENT; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi/Halk Sağlığı Hemşireliği Bölümü.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kardiyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Halk Sağlığı Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-0815-9505; 0000-0002-4330-8334; AAJ-1202-2021; C-7487-2018; AAC-9352-2021; FRF-3343-2022Smoking is a worldwide problem causing significant mortality. Due to the complications occurring later in life giving up is not intended for many users. Media, environment, family, friends, and cultural factors are effective in the onset and prolongation of this habit.In this study we aimed to determine the knowledge level of 188 students of the Institute of Health Sciences who gave informed consent and participated in the study. We gathered data with a questionnaire form and asked questions related to the diseases proven to be caused by smoking and the substances in the cigarette smoke. We used the Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Test to evaluate the nicotine dependence status of smoking students. The mean age of the students was 20.49 +/- 1.19 and the number of females was 144 (76.6%). The mean age of onset of smoking and alcohol consumption was 17.04 +/- 2.13 and 17.06 +/- 2.34, respectively. Overall rate of smoking was 11.7% (n = 22) and in females and males 7.6 and 25.0%, respectively (p < 0.003).It was concluded that the smoking rate in students of the Institute of Health Sciences is high, particularly in male students. The knowledge of substances in cigarette smoke did not affect the smoking pattern of students.Publication Attitudes of antioxidant consumption in university students(Scibulcom, 2015-01-01) Özdemir, Burhan; Özdemir, Aysel; Utkualp, Nevin; Özdemir, Levent; Özdemir, Burhan; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; UTKUALP, NEVİN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi; 0000-0002-0815-9505; 0000-0002-7780-3202; AAC-9352-2021; C-7487-2018; AAJ-1202-2021Antioxidants are generally found in vegetables, fruits and some other plants. A balanced diet should contain foods rich in antioxidants.We aimed in this study to evaluate the knowledge level of students in the Institute of Health Sciences and their pattern of antioxidant consumption. We also assessed the stress levels of cases with a simple scale and its association with consumption levels. A total of 144 cases participated in the study. The mean age of the students was 20.61 +/- 2.04 (range 17-33). Number of females was 111 (77.1%). Among the study group, 66.7% of cases consumed 4 cups or more of tea daily. Rate of consumption of coffee every day was 52.4%. The mostly known antioxidants are garlic, red pepper, green tea, vegetables, and vitamin E with decreasing order. Daily consumption rates of vegetables, black tea, and olive were most common in decreasing order. The stress levels of the cases were not significantly associated with the consumption rates of each antioxidant in this study.Knowledge level about antioxidants of students has to be increased. The dietary habits of the population like high consumption of vegetables, black tea, and olive in a way compensated the amount of daily consumed antioxidants.Publication Attitudes to genetically modified organisms and food among university students(Scibulcom, 2016-01-01) Utkualp, Nevin; Özdemir, Aysel; Biçer, Murat; Özdemir, Burhan; UTKUALP, NEVİN; ÖZDEMİR, AYSEL; BİÇER, MURAT; Özdemir, Burhan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kalp ve Damar Cerrahisi Kliniği; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kardiyoloji Bölümü; 0000-0002-0815-9505; ABC-2231-2020; AAC-9352-2021; AAJ-1202-2021; FRF-3343-2022Genetically modified organisms and food have serious concerns due to their unpredicted nature. The beneficial effects include cost-effectiveness, economical benefits and endurance of the related product to certain obstacles including infections, and drought. Many diseases are attributed to genetically modified foods as with environmental hazards. Some of these have not been validated via scientific committees.In this study we aimed to investigate the attitudes of 85 students of the Institute of Health Sciences in Uludag University. The study was a descriptive study. We gathered data via questionnaire focusing on the attitudes, believes, knowledge levels and socioeconomical characteristics. The mean age of the study group was 21.77 +/- 1.21 (range 20-26). Among the group 67 (78.8%) were female. Majority of them mostly lived in cities. More than half of the students think that genetics of food is changed to make national governments dependent to foreign countries. Majority of students think that GMF and GMOs are detrimental for human health. A negative perception is present of GMOs. The socioeconomic characteristics did not affect the attitudes of students towards GMOs. 100% of the students think food labels should contain data related to presence of GMOs.
