Chromhidrosis is a rare condition with a characteristic presentation of the secretion of colored sweat by apocrine or eccrine sweat glands. Eccrine chromhidrosis may occur by some water-soluble dyes in the systemic circulation, as a result of drug metabolism such as quinine, bisacodyl, clofazimine etc. or due to contamination of micro-organisms and rarely hyperbilirubinemia. The first and most important step for diagnosis of eccrine chromhidrosis is clinical evaluation. In the treatment of chromhidrosis, the suspected dye or drug should be eliminated from the body. This case report describes a patient who was diagnosed with eccrine chromhidrosis as a result of drug metabolism. The patient presented to the outpatient family medicine clinic of Ibn-i Sina Hospital with a complaint of blue sweating. Keywords: eccrine glands, vitamins, sweating, family practice

Aim: The accidents experienced in childhood are a public health problem due to their potential outcomes, and they require collaboration with family physicians. This study aimed to investigate the basic first aid approaches and knowledge levels of parents who bring their children to the outpatient clinics of the Department of Family Medicine and Social Pediatrics at Ankara University School of Medicine. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted between 19 October 2020 and 16 November 2020 was approved by the Ankara University Human Research Ethics Committee. The data were collected face-to-face using a survey form and were analyzed using the IBM SPSS 15.0 package program. Results: In this study, 229 parents in total were reached. 55.9% of the participants had first aid training and a higher rate of considering themselves adequate about first aid. The participants with first aid training, those with high income, those with high education levels, and those with a driver's license answered more questions correctly. Conclusion: Although our study participants had relatively very high education levels, there were issues about which their first aid knowledge was lacking, and these results revealed the importance of providing parents with first aid training once again.

Background. healthy patient-physician communication (ppC) affects the effectiveness of the service, increases satisfaction with health services and ensures cooperation with patient. research has revealed that there are communication problems between physicians and patients, and patients mostly complain about physicians' communication skills. Objectives. We aim to determine the opinions of family medicine residents about ppC, uncover communication problems in Turkey and also find out if having communication education has an effect on these problems. Material and methods. The data was collected by surveys which were sent to family medicine residents via the Internet, and each resident could answer just one survey. for analyses, we used the IBm spss15.0 package program. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. 312 (11.3%) out of 2,765 family medicine residents in Turkey participated in this study. The majority of residents were female (73.1%). more than half of the residents (63.5%) had received training about communication. most of the residents indicated that they had communication problems with patients or patients' relatives (88.4%). most of the residents (73.7%) said "yes, definitely" to the question "Do you think there is a communication problem between patients and physicians in Turkey?". No significant difference was found between trained and untrained residents. The most frequent answers to reasons for communication problems were limited time (50.6%), socio-cultural level of the patient (20.5%) and heavy workload of physicians (20.5%). Conclusions. most residents indicated that they had communication problems with patients or patients' relatives before, and there is a serious communication problem between patients and physicians in Turkey. In this study, there was no significant difference between whether residents had received training about communication and those having problems in this area.
