Filter by:The collection of hazelnuts grown in our country provides a great source of employment for local people and seasonal workers. However, geographical conditions in hazelnut growing areas, challenging variable weather conditions in August and insufficient number of workers create a disadvantageous environment for seasonal workers. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of working conditions on mental status, fatigue, pain severity and postures (posture disorders, developmental delays, etc.) of young adults working in Giresun during the hazelnut picking season in comparison with the group living in the same sociodemographic and cultural environment but not working as seasonal workers.
Low back pain and neck pain are common problems that affect people at certain times in their lives. These people constitute a significant part of the disease burden due to their recurrent complaints. People with low back and neck pain often seek medical attention. This situation causes individuals to apply to the hospital frequently and causes a serious cost at the social level. When the risk factors for neck pain are examined, many factors such as genetics, sleep problems, smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, previous neck pain, trauma, back pain and poor general health cause neck pain to develop. Similarly, conditions such as age, obesity, and poor general health appear to be risk factors for low back pain. In addition to these risk factors, it has been reported that occupational factors such as long and sedentary working hours and unsuitable workplace conditions may also cause low back and neck pain. Fixed posture and prolonged sitting are thought to be risk factors for low back and neck pain, but opinions on this subject are not clear. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global crisis since 2019 and caused a change in the lifestyle of all people around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that social distance should be increased and face-to-face contact should be reduced to prevent the spread of the pandemic. For this reason, many institutions have decided to work remotely and trainings have been carried out remotely. The increasing teleworking style with the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the average screen time of individuals. It was reported that time spent on the Internet increased by 52% compared to the pre-pandemic period. This study aims to investigate the relationship between increased teleworking hours and internet use during the pandemic period in individuals with low back or neck pain. Researchers think that postural changes that may occur with increased distance working time, increased fixed posture and asymmetrical loading may contribute to the uncertain relationship between low back and neck pain and posture.
Central venous catheterization is widely used for various purposes during surgery. For central venous catheterization, subclavian vein is selected because of the relatively low risk of infection, long-term patency and low patient discomfort. The cross - sectional area of the subclavian vein is an important factor to increase success rate. Several studies have reported that the Trendelenburg position increases the cross-sectional area of the subclavian vein, and the lateral tilt position can change the cross-sectional area of the subclavian vein. However, the impact of lateral tilt position to the cross-sectional area of the subclavian vein is not clear. The ipsilateral position can increase the cross-sectional area of the subclavian vein, and the contralateral position can decrease the cross-sectional area by gravity. In the second stage of this study, the investigators would like to compare the success rate, the number of needle passage, time to complete subclavian vein catheterization in supine and ipsilateral tile position.

The ipsilateral position can increase the cross-sectional area of the subclavian vein, and the contralateral position can decrease the cross-sectional area by gravity. In the first stage of this study, we compare the cross-sectional area of subclavian vein using ultrasonography in supine, ipsilateral, and contralateral tilt position.
