Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have pointed out the existence of cardiac dysfunction in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) even in the absence of ischemic, valvular, or hypertensive heart disease. The present study evaluated cardiac dysfunction and the relationship between severity of disease and degree of cardiac dysfunction in children with type 1 DM. METHODS In this prospective study, 31 patients with type 1 DM and 33 sex- and age-matched healthy children were evaluated with conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE). A correlation between cardiac functions and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) was examined. RESULTS TDE results indicated that mitral valve early diastolic annular peak flow rate (E'), mitral valve systolic flow rate (S'), ratio of mitral valve early diastolic peak flow rate to mitral valve early diastolic annular peak flow rate (E/E'), and left ventricular (LV) myocardial performance index (MPI) were higher, and LV ejection time (ET) was shorter in patients with type 1 DM (p<0.05). In addition, tricuspid valve E' and right ventricular (RV) MPI were higher, while RV ET and tricuspid E/E' were lower in patients with type 1 DM compared to healthy children (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Although conventional echocardiography revealed no difference between patients with type 1 DM and healthy children, TDE showed dysfunctions of both ventricles. This state is closely related to degree of blood glucose level control. These findings signify diagnostic value of TDE in the early detection of cardiac effects among patients with type 1 DM.

Abstract
Liddle syndrome (LS) is a familial disease characterized by early onset hypertension (HT). Although regarded as rare, its incidence may be greater than expected because the classical findings of hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with suppressed renin and aldosterone levels are not consistently present. Herein, we present the case of an adolescent boy and maternal relatives who were followed up with misdiagnosis of essential HT for a long duration. Clinical diagnosis of LS was confirmed on genetic analysis. Despite carrying the same mutation, the index patient and the family members manifested heterogeneous phenotypes of the disease including age at presentation, degree of HT, presence of hypokalemia and renal/cardiac complications. LS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of HT in children with a strong family history of HT resistant to conventional treatment; and genetic screening should be performed in these circumstances.

Abstract
A seroepidemiological study was conducted to assess the seroprevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) and antibodies to hepatitis C virus (Anti-HCV) in 14,196 patients hospitalized in our cardiology clinics. Threehundred and fifty five (355) patients (2.43%) were found to be positive for HBs Ag, a hundred and sixty six (166) patients (1.09%) were positive for Anti-HCV and ten patients (0.07%) were positive for both. The presence of HBs Ag and Anti-HCV was similar in patients living in rural and urban areas. The presence of risk factors was greater in the patients with Anti-HCV. The prevalences of HBs Ag and Anti-HCV were found to be comparable with those reported in other mediterranean countries in Europe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aortic regurgitation, conduction disturbances, increased myocardial fibrosis and pericarditis could be seen in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, less attention has been paid to supraventricular arrhythmias (SVA) and atrial conduction system changes. We aimed to assess SVA and conduction system changes in patients with AS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients (24 men; mean age, 28.7 ± 5.7 years) with AS and 30 healthy volunteers (26 men; mean age, 29.3 ± 5.8 years) were enrolled. All subjects were evaluated by 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram, 12 lead standard electrocardiogram (ECG) for P wave dispersion (Pd), and signal-averaged ECG (SAECG) for P wave duration (SAPWD). RESULTS SVAs were detected in 9 patients with AS (32%) and 3 controls (10%; p =0.02). Mean SAPWD (115.7±28.6 ms vs. 100.2 ± 18.7 ms, p =0.017) and mean Pd (11.9±4.8 ms vs. 9.3±3.6 ms, 0.023) was longer in patients with AS than the control group. When patient with AS were divided into 2 subgroups as patients with or without SVA, the Pd (16.2±5.0 vs. 9.9±3.2, p =0.001), SAPWD (151.4±7.8 vs. 98.7±16.1, p =0.001) and Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) (5.1±1.6 vs. 3.7±1.0, p =0.014) were significantly greater in the subgroup with arrhythmias compared to the subgroup without arrhythmias. There was a moderate positive correlation between BASDAI and SAPWD (r=0.622, p =0.001). There was also a moderate positive correlation between BASDAI and Pd (r=0.479, p =0.01). CONCLUSIONS SVA were detected more frequently in AS than control group. SAPWD and Pd were prolonged in patients with AS. Clinical severity assessed with BASDAI had a positive correlation with prolongation of SAPWD and Pd.

Abstract
Many authors have reported the presence of serum NMDAR antibodies in varying proportions of patients with schizophrenia; however, many others have not been able to confirm this. Because of the contradictory findings reported in various studies, more definitive research on this issue is required. Hence, we have investigated the NR1 subunit of NMDAR antibodies in patients with schizophrenia (n=49) and healthy controls (n=48). None of the investigated patients with schizophrenia and none of the healthy controls showed positive antibody against the NR1 subunit of the NMDAR. On the basis of this result, we conclude that the NR1 subunit of the NMDAR antibodies does not seem to have a role in schizophrenia.

Abstract
Researches have demonstrated that Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common stress reactions in the face of disasters and significantly associated with a broad range of trauma-induced sequelaes including anxiety, depression, suicidality as well as functional impairments. To date, though many aspects of risk factors with respect to the development and maintenance of PTSD have been addressed, mediating role of dissociation has received relatively less attention. In the present study, we examined relations of PTSD with quality of life, hopelessness, suicidal ideation, and mediational effect of pathological dissociation in these connections. 583 subjects most of whom experienced a severe earthquake participated in the study after two years of the disaster. We found that being female, being single, earthquake exposure, and having greater suicidal ideation were significant predictors of PTSD symptom severity. Role-Physical, Bodily-Pain, General Health and Role-Emotional subscales of the SF-36 were inversely associated with PTSD symptom severity. Pathological dissociation significantly mediated the substantial associations between predictors and PTSD symptom clusters. Chronic dissociation appears to put trauma exposed individuals in jeopardy of prolonged posttraumatic reactions by mediating the negative influences of risk factors in the face of experienced earthquake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Rabies is still an important health problem particularly in underdeveloped or developing countries. In this study, the aim was to investigate demographic characteristics and vaccination schedules of cases suspected of having rabies and admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Clinic of our hospital, which serves as one of the Rabies Vaccination Centers in our province. METHODS In our study, medical records of 200 patients admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Clinic with suspicion of risk of contact with the rabies virus were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Of those 200 cases, rabies risk was found to be greater in the 5-9 year old group. There was a history of having been bitten by dogs in 68.5% of cases, cat scratch in 29.5%, and contact with other animals in 2%. While 76% of animals were stray animals, only 11% of them had an owner and had been vaccinated, and were under supervision. Rabies vaccination only had been administered to 42.5% of admitted patients, tetanus and rabies vaccination to 51.5%, tetanus; rabies vaccination and human rabies immune globulin were administered to 6%. Post-exposure prophylaxis was found to have been given as recommended to 83.5% of cases. CONCLUSION Rabies remains an important public health problem in developing countries Like ours. We consider that public awareness should be raised; local authorities should devote efforts to control stray animals and supervise such services, and updated guidance and training should be provided to the concerned health staff to reduce the risk of rabies.

Abstract
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most prevalent autoimmune thyroid disorder caused by an interaction between genes and environmental triggers. Intrathyroid lymphocytic infiltration may lead to progressive destruction of thyroid tissue and consequently to hypothyroidism. Many studies in different populations have shown association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and various autoimmune diseases, including HT. The study included 44 female patients (mean age ± standard deviation 38 ± 5.4) with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and 32 healthy age-matched, sex-matched and geographically matched controls without personal history of autoimmune and endocrine diseases. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood-EDTA, and the target VDR gene was genotyped by PCR-RFLP technique after VDR-FokI (rs2228570), VDR-ApaI (rs7975232) and VDR-TaqI (rs731236) restriction enzymes digestion. We used spss 20.0 integrated software for data analysis and found a significant difference in the genotype distribution of VDR-FokI polymorphism between patients with HT and controls (P = 0.009). For ApaI and TaqI, we observed a higher frequency of variant allele in patients with HT, which was not significantly different compared to control women (P > 0.05). The current first and preliminary results identified the association between VDR-FokI gene polymorphism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis in Serbian population. Results need to be supported by further investigations that define haplotype patterns for VDR gene polymorphisms in a larger group of HT patients of both sexes.
