TL;DR: T in Turkey is long and remains a major problem and delays can be reduced by increasing BC awareness, implementing organized population-based screening programmes and founding cancer centres.
Abstract: Background: One of the most important factors in breast cancer (BC) mortality is treatment delay. The primary goal of this survey was to identify factors affecting the total delay time (TDT) in Turkish BC patients. Methods :A total of 1031 patients with BC were surveyed using a uniform questionnaire. The time between discovering the first symptom and signing up for the first medical visit (patient delay time; PDT) and the time between the first medical visit and the start of therapy (system delay time; SDT) were modelled separately with multilevel regression. Results: The mean PDT, SDT and TDT were 4.8, 10.5 and 13.8 weeks, respectively. In all, 42% of the patients had a TDT >12 weeks. Longer PDT was significantly correlated with disregarding symptoms and having age of between 30 and 39 years. Shorter PDT was characteristic of patients who: had stronger self-examination habits, received more support from family and friends and had at least secondary education. Predictors of longer SDT included disregard of symptoms, distrust in success of therapy and medical system and having PDT in excess of 4 weeks. Shorter SDT was linked to the age of >60 years. Patients who were diagnosed during a periodic check-up or opportunistic mammography displayed shorter SDT compared with those who had symptomatic BC and their first medical examination was by a surgeon. Conclusion: TDT in Turkey is long and remains a major problem. Delays can be reduced by increasing BC awareness, implementing organized population-based screening programmes and founding cancer centres.

TL;DR: The distribution areas of probable vector species in this study area allowed the identification of risk levels, which may provide useful information to guide the leishmaniasis research in endemic regions.
Abstract: An entomological survey was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of phlebotomine fauna and understand the effect of environmental factors. The entomological survey was carried out during 2006–2007 in a study area in the rural area of Aydin province, near the Kusadasi town where VL, CL, and canine leishmaniasis (CanL) are endemic. In 2006 and 2007, 132 locations were sampled using sticky traps mainly on embankments. Detailed environmental and meteorological information was also collected for each location. The results of entomological studies indicated that the probable vectors are Phlebotomus tobbi and P. neglectus for VL and CanL, and P. similis for CL in this western leishmaniasis focus. The data revealed a correlation between their presence and spatial variables such as altitude, sampling site location, and humidity. The distribution areas of probable vector species in this study area allowed the identification of risk levels, which may provide useful information to guide the leish...

TL;DR: Body mass index and transvaginal cervical length were better predictors compared to the Bishop score in determining the success of labor induction and ROC curve showed that the best parameter in predicting the risk of cesarean section was cervical length.
Abstract: To evaluate the role of ultrasonographic and various maternal and fetal parameters in predicting successful labor induction. Body mass index, cervical length, dilatation, effacement, Bishop score, parity, maternal age and birth weight were evaluated in 189 singleton pregnant women at 37–42 weeks of gestation and having induction of labor. All underwent induction of labor with oxytocin. Body mass index was calculated using the formula weight (kg)/height2 (m), cervical measurement was performed by transvaginal ultrasonography and Bishop score was determined by digital examination of cervix. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the cervical length and body mass index were independent variables in determining the risk of cesarean section (OR = 1.206, P = 0.000, CI 95% = 1.117–1.303; OR = 1.223, P = 0.007, CI 95% = 1.058–1.414 respectively). In multiple linear regression analysis, the effect of cervical length and body mass index on induction delivery interval was found to be statistically significant (t = 5.738, P = 0.000; t = 2.680, P = 0.009, respectively). ROC curve showed that the best parameter in predicting the risk of cesarean section was cervical length and that cervical length and body mass index were better parameters compared to the Bishop score (the areas under the curve are 0.819, 0.701 and 0.416, respectively). Body mass index and transvaginal cervical length were better predictors compared to the Bishop score in determining the success of labor induction.
