The analysis of hormones and enzymes extracted from endocrine glands of the neck region in deaths due to hanging.

Our study was designed to determine whether the hormone and enzyme levels that we have mentioned in serum specimens can be used in postmortem examinations of the cases of hanging or not. Our research includes the postmortem results of the thyroid tissue pathologic examinations, serum levels of triiodothyronine (fT3), thyroxine (fT4), thyrotropin (TSH), thyroglobulin, parathormone (PTH), calcitonin, and amylase in cases of death due to hanging. The mean of fT3 and thyroglobulin levels were higher in hanging cases than those of sudden death cases. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In our study, we obtained data demonstrating that high postmortem levels of free T3 and thyroglobulin may be indicators of vital reaction in hanging cases. In such cases of death, it seems that applying pressure on the neck region where the thyroid gland is located causes the leakage of thyroglobulin as well as fT3, the active form of the thyroid hormone.

Bu calismada Ege Universitesi Tip Fakultesi asistan doktorlarina yonelik bir anket duzenlenerek, e-recete kullanimina bakis acilarinin degerlendirilmesi, e-recete kullaniminin is kolayligi, zaman ve ilac israfinin engellemesi acisindan beklentilere ne kadar cevap verdigi, yukumluluklerinin farkindaligi ve guvenilirlik acisindan degerlendirilmesi amaclanmistir. Katilimcilarin %51`i e-recete egitimi aldigini, %86`si e-recete kullanmanin getirdigi yukumlulukleri bilmedigini belirtmistir. 73 kisi e-recete kullanimini guvenli bulmadigini, 85 (%85) kisi e-recete kullanmanin zaman tasarrufu saglamadigini, 72 kisi e-recete kullanmanin ilac israfini engellemedigini ve yine 72 kisi de e-recete kullaniminin hasta acisindan olumlu sonuclari olacagini dusunmedigini bildirmistir. E-recete uygulamasinin pratikteki kullaniminin artmasindan sonra, amacina ulasip ulasmayacaginin zamanla anlasilacagi ve bir takim eksiklikler mevcutsa da yeri geldikce giderilebilecegi umulmaktadir.
