    Atopic dermatitis in adults and irritable bowel syndrome: a cross-sectional study
    (WOLTERS KLUWER MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS, 2019) Kaya İslamoğlu, Z. Gizem.; Unal, Mehmet.; Küçük, Adem.
    Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional gastrointestinal disorder affecting a large number of people in the world. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin condition characterized by relapsing eczematous lesions in a typical distribution. It was first described in 1933 but exists since antiquity. Aim and Objectives: To determine the relationship between AD and IBS. Materials and Methods: A total of 109 patients with AD and 100 healthy controls were included in the study. They were defined for diagnosis of IBS according to ROME-III diagnostic criteria. Supporting findings, Bristol stool scale, frequency of defecation and history of AD and IBS were also evaluated. AD severity was assessed using Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis index. Results: A total of 62 patients (56.9%) in the AD group and 28 patients (28%) in the control group were diagnosed with IBS (P<0.001). Supportive findings excluding abnormal stool frequency and passage of mucus were more frequent in AD patients. There was no significant relationship between disease severity according to SCORAD index and variables in AD patients. Conclusions: This is a rather uncultivated area in the field of AD. We observed that IBS was more common in AD group. Also, supporting findings like abnormal stool form, abdominal distension, feeling of incomplete evacuation, and straining were found more frequently in AD patients. These results may indicate the association between AD and IBS. In our opinion, patients with atopic dermatitis should be questioned in terms of IBS.

    Experiences of barbed polydioxanone (PDO) cog thread for facial rejuvenation and our technique to prevent thread migration
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021) Unal, Mehmet.; İslamoğlu, Gizem Kaya.; Unal, Gülbahar Ürün.; Köylü, Nihal.
    Background: One of the most common nonsurgical options for facial rejuvenation is lifting using threads. Application of polydioxanone (PDO) threads is generally secure and effective procedure, but complications on the involved regions can occur. Objective: In this study, we shared our experiences of efficacy and safety of PDO thread lifting for facial rejuvenation and presented our technique to prevent the migration of threads. Materials and methods: Thirty-eight patients who underwent PDO cog treatment for facial rejuvenation were evaluated. Via 23 G/90 mm sharp needle, bidirectional barbed PDO cog thread was inserted into subcutaneous tissue. The outcomes of procedure were assessed by Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and patient satisfaction. Results: Thirty-eight patients were included in this study. Mean age of participants was 39.6 +/- 7.5 years. The GAIS score showed satisfactory results (very much improved: 78.9%; much improved: 18.4%; improved: 2.6%). According to patient satisfaction, all patients were satisfied with the clinical outcomes of procedure (excellent: 76.3%; very good: 21.0%; good: 2.6%). No patient reported 'fair' or 'poor' result. Conclusions: Our results revealed barbed PDO cog thread is highly effective in facial rejuvenation. Also, tying the PDO threads in same entry point to each other seems to be an effective technique to prevent thread migration.
