Left atrial (LA) volumes were measured echocardiographically in 32 MS patients and 32 age- and sex-matched controls. LA volumes were determined at the time of mitral valve opening (maximal, Vmax), at the onset of atrial systole (p wave on the electrocardiogram, Vp) and at the mitral valve closure (minimal, Vmin) according to the biplane area-length method in apical 4-chamber and 2-chamber view. All volumes were corrected to the body surface area, and following left atrial emptying functions were calculated. LA passive emptying volume =Vmax- Vp LA passive emptying fraction = LA passive emptying volume/Vmax . Conduit volume= LV stroke volume - (Vmax- Vmin), LA active emptying volume =Vp- Vm,, LA active emptying fraction= LA active emptying volume/Vp, LA total emptying volume = (Vmax -Vmin), LA total emptying fraction = LA total emptying volume/Vmax. RESUITS: LA maximal volume and LA presystolic volume were significantly higher in MS patients than in controls (P <0.001). But LA minimum volume was significantly lower in MS patients than in controls (P <0.001). Although LA passive emptying volume (P <0.03), LA passive emptying fraction (P <0.001) and conduit volume (P <0.001) were found to be significantly lower in MS patients than in controls, LA active emptying volume (P <0.001) and LA active emptying fraction (P< 0.001) were significantly greater in MS patients than in controls. Conclusion In our study, metabolic syndrome was associated with increased left atrial volume, decreased left atrial passive emptying function and increased pump function. Increased left atrial pump function represents a compensatory mechanism in patients with MS.Thus, these results underline the importance of maintaining a sinus rhythm in these patients.

s disease. Nine patients were treated by thrombocyte transfusion, tranexamic acid, recombinant active factor VII and fibrin glue as a single or combined therapy in invasive procedures; none of them had a major bleeding complication. Conclusion Bleeding control of invasive procedures may be challenging in children with Glazmann thrombasthenia; local treatments, DDAVP, steroid and antifibrinolytics may be used with success.

AbstractsObjective Immunisation is one of the most important weapons for protecting individuals and the community from serious diseases. Method The survey method is applied to the mothers of children 12 months and over who hospitalized in our clinic between Februray and May 2010. Mothers of children who agreed to participate in the study and whose vaccine records can be reached are included in the study. Findings The average age of the children was 4.56±2.5 years, of the mothers was 29.23±4.74 and of the fathers was 32.93±5.47. The most common answer given to the question "Why vaccinate?" was "for being healty" (n=35). The most memorable vaccine was tuberculous vaccine (%55). In our study, we didn't find any statistically significant difference between the immunization status of children and the mother's education, mother's profession, father's profession, occupational distribution.There wasn't any difference between the vaccination status of children and the age average of mothers: (z= -0,430; p=0,668) the age average of fathers (z=0,756; p=0,450). Results Despite all studies and campaigns, the rate of being full vaccinated is beneath the levels of %90-95. We need more campaigns to increase the vaccination rate of the society.
