Preemptive administration of local anesthetic at the incision site reduces postoperative pain compared with placebo but achieves an analgesic effect similar to that of postincisional anesthetic infiltration. Preemptive local anesthetic administered intraperitoneally decreases postoperative pain compared with both placebo and postoperative infiltration. Surgeons should use local analgesia in laparoscopic surgery to decrease postoperative pain, but the timing of administration is significant only for intraperitoneal infiltration.

<p><strong>OBJECTIVE: </strong>The aim of this study was to assess the impact of some oocyte morphological abnormality rates on embryo development and implantation.</p><p><strong>STUDY DESIGN:</strong> Oocyte morphological abnormalities including oocyte size, elliptical shape, vacuole, plain polar body, fragmented polar body, large perivitellin space, perivitellin debris, central granulation, dense central granulation, inclusion body, thick zona pellucida, clusters of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, easy needle insertion and dark cytoplasm were determined for each oocyte. Rates of these oocyte morphological anomalies were determined for each case and the impact of rates on the cycle outcome was analyzed.</p><p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>Similar oocyte morphology abnormality rates were observed between cycles with and without successful embryo implantation. On the other hand, both fragmented polar body and vacuole rates were found to be significantly higher in cycles with Grade 2 embryo transfer. These rate differences were remained significant after adjustment for the age and basal FSH level.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong>None of the oocyte morphological features was found to have significant impact on ART outcome. </p>

Kadınlarda vulvovajinal yakınmalar sağlık kuruluşlarına başvurma sebepleri arasında ilk sıralarda yer almaktadır. Vulvovajinal enfeksiyonlar, ayrıca kadınlarda cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıkların başvuru şikayetleri arasında da önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklar kadınlarda kalıcı üreme sağlığı problemlerine sebep olabilirler. Bu durum vulvovajinal enfeksiyon bulgularıyla sağlık kuruluşlarına gelen hasta popülasyonunda cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıkların mutlaka ortaya çıkarılması konusundaki önemi göstermektedir. Günümüzde vulvovajinal enfeksiyon sebebi olan Kandida Albikans, Gardnarella Vajinalis, Trichomonas Vajinalis, N.Gonore ve Sifiliz gibi bakteriyel, parazitel yada mantarlara bağlı nedenler toplam vulvovajinal enfeksiyonların %80'ini oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan bu kesitsel araştırma ile indirekt yoldan Türkiye'deki cinsel yollardan bulaşan hastalıkların sıklığı ile ilgili bilgi sahibi olunması ve tedavi seçeneklerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

A new electroactive polymer based on fluorene and carbazole moieties with double bond side chain (MP25) was synthesized and then double bond at the side chain was functionalized with COOH and Si(OEt)3 as ITO/glass compatible groups. Electrochemical and optical properties of the polymers were elucidated with cyclic voltammetry (CV), ultraviolet–visible absorption (UV–Vis), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. It was observed that all polymers absorbed only the UV region and emitted blue light. By using CV, HOMO values were found as approximately 5.45 eV. According to AFM results, when the rough MP25 polymer thin film was modified with ITO/glass compatible groups, more uniform and smoother polymer thin films were obtained. Thermogravimetry analyses (TGA) shown that the MP25‐Si and MP25‐COOH were stable against thermo‐oxidative decomposition. The weight loss of MP‐25‐Si was found to be only %23 at 700°C. Additionally, antimicrobial activity of MP25 polymers was also investigated. According to test results, all polymers were found to have antimicrobial activity against C.albicans.

Results 2060 unique articles were screened of which 28 (from 24 studies with 2 88 264 participants) were included. We statistically pooled information from 19 studies, showing that males with high intensity OPA had a higher risk of early mortality than those with light intensity OPA (HR [95% CI]: 1.24 [1.03 1.49). Such an association was not observed for females (0.88 [0.75 1.03]). Conclusion These findings support the PA health paradox, with levels of high intensity OPA being associated with illhealth (for males). An explanation for this finding may be the nature of OPA, involving sustained demanding tasks, causing chronically elevated blood pressure and heart rate responses. Males may be more prone than females because of gender differences in OPA, with males more likely to work in higher intensity occupations. Future research (preferably using objectively measured OPA) should further explore these potential mechanisms. Introduction For many, spinal pain first develops during adolescence. However, the extent to which adolescent spinal pain impacts work absenteeism later in life is largely unknown. We assessed the association of spinal pain in adolescence with work absenteeism in early adulthood, using a population-based cohort. Methods Data from a sample of working people in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study (n=476) were analysed. At 17 years of age, spinal pain (low-back or neck) with impact on work and/or study behaviour was selfreported. Six years later (at 23 years), participants replied to four quarterly text messages asking them about their work absenteeism, from which annual total and sickness absence were estimated. Negative binominal mixed-models were used to estimate the association between spinal pain and work absenteeism (Incidence Rate Ratios (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI)). Results Participants with adolescent spinal pain with impact at year 17 reported significantly higher (mean [SD]) total work absenteeism at year 23 (148.7[243.4] Conclusion Results of our study show a more than three-fold higher risk of work absenteeism in early adulthood among those with adolescent spinal pain with impact compared to those without spinal pain. These findings indicate that pain Poster Presentation Musculoskeletal
