Öğe A Bibliometric Analysis on Dicrocoelium dendriticum(Iranian Scientific Society Medical Entomology, 2023) Altun, Serap Kilic; Barlik, Fethi; Aydemir, Mehmet Emin; Alkan, SevilBackground: Dicrocoelium dendriticum, a worldwide zoonotic trematode, is a common parasite of ruminant animals, but humans can be the definitive host by chance. We analyzed the world situation of the parasite from the perspective of the One Health concept by analyzing the research literature published from 1931 to 2022. Methods: Published documents related to D. dendriticum were searched from the Scopus database. Focusing on a visual analysis of the main research documents on D. dendriticum, Dimensions free web app was used to conduct co-occurrence analysis with keywords, countries, institutions, and authors. Moreover, key clustering research, affiliaitons, journals, countries, and authors were determined.Results: The Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) was the most publishing affiliation on D. dendriticum with 19 articles. While the Veterinary Parasitology Journal was the mostly publishing journal on D. dendriticum with 38 articles, the most productive country was Iran. The authors Giuseppe Cringoli and Laura Rinaldi from Universita degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Naples, Italy were the mostly publishing authors.Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides an overall description of the current state of D. dendriticum research and the initial exploration of future research directions. Our analysis provides guidance for the development of research on D. dendriticum.Öğe A Bibliometric Analysis Study of Global Academic Articles on Malaria and Contribution of Türkiye(Ordu University, 2024) Aydemir, Selahattin; Diril, Halit; Alkan, Sevil; Barlık, Fethi; Ekici, AbdurrahmanObjective: Malaria is a parasitic infection that has a significant negative influence on public health around the world, including Türkiye in recent years with the prevalence of imported cases. This study was conducted to provide a bibliometric analysis of publications on malaria in Türkiye and worldwide, and to determine Türkiye's current position in malaria research. Methods: This study was observational, descriptive, and retrospective designed study and utilized scientometric technique and scientific mapping. The research was conducted in the Web of Science online database. The MESH keywords (malaria OR plasmodium) were used. The title (TI) field and only Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) index was used for the search queries. The following inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied: The studies published after the end of 2022 were excluded and only the articles were chosen according to the document type. Results: On the basis of the defined search, 31376 articles were extracted from the WoS database indexed in the SCI-E category, for the period 1970-2022. The earliest article was published in 1970 and the most of the articles were published in 2021 (n=1274). There was a growth in publications number since end of the 1970s. A total 469 countries contributed the malaria literature. The United States of America (USA) (32.07%), England (18.56%) and France (9.90%) were the leading countries on the malaria literature according to the published article numbers. Türkiye ranked in 71st. A total of 80 articles were retrieved according to search criteria. The articles were cited 1347 times totally and 17.75 times per article. The mean of H index was 18. The earliest articles were published in 1987. The number of articles limited but since 2005 never dropped below two articles per year. Conclusion: Scientific production from Türkiye is low. This topic can be improved by increasing both the financial support for and the involvement of researchers in national and international collaborative research projects.Öğe A Bibliometric Analysis Study on Bone Marrow Transplantation Research Originating from Turkey(2023) Özlü, Can; Alkan, SevilAim: Scientific publications serve as indicators of global interest and activity in research. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of the scientific literature on bone marrow transplantation in Turkey between 1990 and 2022. Material and Methods: In this bibliometric study, we searched the Web of Science database for all biomedical articles published between 1990 and 2022. MESH terms related to \"Bone marrow transplantation\" were used as the search keyword. The search was then narrowed by selecting Turkey as the country of publication. All data were transferred from the relevant database to Vosviewer and biblioshiny programs and analyzed. Results: A total of 121 countries contributed to the bone marrow transplant literature with 41,236 publications. Turkey ranked 13th with 913 publications (2.214%). and 402 articles by 2991 authors from Turkey. This corresponded to 0.305 publications per author. These publications received 6.183 citations per publication. After 2014, the number of publications increased. Most articles (n=123) were published in 2015. In 2016, the number of publications decreased by almost half after the first peak and did not fall below 50 publications/per year in the following years. Ankara University (n=207), Hacettepe University (n=166), Gazi University (n=95), Erciyes University (n=82), and Akdeniz University (n=79) were the institutions that published the most publications on bone marrow transplantation. Conclusion: Bone marrow transplantation appears to be of interest to Turkish researchers; however, not to the expected level. Turkey continues to lag behind other countries in this field despite an increase in research activity pertaining to bone marrow transplants in recent years.Öğe A Bibliometric Study on Buruli Ulcer Based on the Web of Science Database(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Alkan, Sevil; Sahinoglu, Mustafa SerhatBuruli ulcer is caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, a skin infection that occurs mostly in people living in the developing economies of Africa and is considered a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization (WHO). Left untreated, it can lead to chronic wounds and loss of limbs. This disease is one of the target diseases of the WHO, and there are very limited bibliometric studies published on this subject. Also, no similar study using the Web of Science Core Collection was found in the available literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bibliometric analysis of the literature on Buruli ulcers. For data visualization and analysis, the open-source visualization program Biblioshiny (version 2.0) was used. Although most publications are from Ghana, the United States, and European countries have also made significant contributions. The number of publications has increased especially since 2016. The most preferred keywords in the publications were treatment, diagnosis, and transmission routes. This is the first bibliometric analysis that examines the trend of scientific publications on Buruli ulcer that have been indexed in the Web of Science. Our findings have the potential to be used by academics to improve their research.Öğe A Bibliometric Study on Charcot Foot Deformity(SAGE Publications Inc., 2023) Üzümcügil, Alaaddin Oktar; Alkan, Sevil; Kurt, MehmetIn this study, we investigated the literature's publication trends related to the Charcot foot deformity. Using bibliometric analysis to examine the data of origin, this analysis was carried out by conducting an electronic search of the Web of Science database for research articles between 1970 and March 2023. We used the following search term in the search bar: TI = (Charcot foot OR Charcot foot deformity OR Charcot's foot OR Charcot Osteopathic Arthropathy) with English language and article-format filtering for documents. The bibliometric analysis was carried out using R's “Bibliometrix” package program. A total of 437 articles were found in the electronic search. A total number of 1513 authors from around the world contributed to the Charcot foot literature, with the most articles published (42.1%) originating in the United States. The United States had the highest proportion of citations (3332 citations). The highest number of articles (n = 245) on Charcot foot deformity was in the last decade. 2021 was the year with the most articles (n = 34). The authors from the United States and the United Kingdom had the highest number of international collaborations. The study offers researchers a current overview of essential data and may help direct future research by summarizing the main points and research trends on the topic of Charcot foot deformity.Öğe A case of acalculous cholecystitis or Brucella-induced acute cholecystitis?(2023) Urkmez, Fatma Yekta; Sahınoglu, Serhat; Alkan, SevilBrucella spp. is a microorganism that can cause febrile, systemic infection, especially in endemic areas. Although it causes a multisystemic involvement and creates various clinical symptoms, osteoarticular symptoms are the most common. However, Brucella spp. is known to be a great mimic and can cause rare, atypical presentations. In this case report, we aimed to present a 67-year-old Turkish female patient diagnosed with stony cholecystitis due to Brucella spp. Although rare, brucellosis can be encountered as a cause of acute cholecyst. Although there are changes in the epidemiology of brucellosis, it is useful to keep in mind brucellosis in the differential diagnosis of many diseases, in endemic areas, especially in rural areas.Öğe A case of acute brucellosis associated with HIV infection in Turkey(Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2024) Urkmez, Fatma Yekta; Alkan, SevilHuman brucellosis is a common public health problem in Turkey. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients are vulnerable to co-infections and super-infections due to targeting the immune system. Because opportunistic infections are considered primarily, it is very difficult to detect co-infections, especially Brucella spp., in this patient group. In addition, non-specific clinical findings of brucellosis make diagnosis difficult. In this report, an HIV-positive patient with acute brucellosis was described. A 28-year-old male patient receiving antiretroviral therapy was admitted to the hospital with complaints of high fever and myalgia for the last two weeks. Physical examination revealed enlargement of bilateral cervical lymph nodes and enlargement of bilateral inguinal lymph nodes. Primarily, opportunistic infections were investigated in this patient. Brucella spp. was detected in blood cultures taken due to high fever. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with brucellosis. We presented this case report with the purpose of drawing more attention to the clinical diagnosis of brucellosis. In addition, we recommend that clinicians should be more cautious about fever of unknown origin in HIV-positive patients, especially in regions where brucellosis is endemic. In the presence of newly developing fever and lymphadenopathy in HIV-infected individuals, opportunistic infections as well as other infectious diseases, including brucellosis, should be considered.Öğe A Case of Brucellosis Presenting with Infarction in the Spleen(Doc Design Informatics Co Ltd, 2022) Alkan, Sevil; Guclu-Kayta, Safiye Bilge; Vurucu, Servan; Akca, Anil; Yuksel, Cihan; Onder, Taylan; Sener, AlperBrucellosis may present with different clinical pictures due to its ability to involve various organs. Although splenomeg-aly can be seen as a result of spleen involvement in brucellosis, splenic infarction is rare. However, left upper quadrant pain may be observed when splenic infarct occurs. This case report presents a case of brucellosis with splenic infarct.Öğe A Case of Infective Endocarditis Complicated with an Acute Coronary Syndrome, Cerebral Septic Infarction, and Sepsis(DOC Design and Informatics Co. Ltd., 2023) Şahinoğlu, Mustafa Serhat; Alkan, SevilInfective endocarditis (IE) is a rare and highly mortal infectious disease. A 41-year-old male patient who was being followed with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, acute cerebrovascular disease, meningitis and sepsis, was diagnosed with IE with the presence of vegetation on the mitral valve and Staphylococcus aureus growth in his blood culture. The patient was treated with cefazolin plus vancomycin. We present this case to remind that IE can cause var-ious complications and careful examination may be required for the diagnosis. © 2023, DOC Design and Informatics Co. Ltd..

Herpes Simplex Virus-1 and other viral infections can be cause to NORSE. Seizures are a rare sign of HSV encephalitis, but they can occur as the first symptom. Herein, we present a case of NORSE triggered by HSV-1 encephalitis, which had been diagnosed via cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and magnetic resonance imaging findings.Öğe A Fatal Case of Culture-Negative Late Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis(Emergency Medicine Physicians Assoc Turkey, 2022) Kucuk, Ugur; Alkan, Sevil; Barutcu, AhmetProsthesis valve dehiscence is one of the most serious complications of prosthetic valves. Despite the improvements in medical and surgical treatments, prosthesis valve dehiscence has high mortality. Due to fatality rates, the early diagnosis and treatment of these patients is required. In this case report, we presented a patient with severe mitral deficiency and acute heart failure following mechanical mitral prosthesis valve dehiscence secondary to culture-negative endocarditis.Öğe A scientometric analysis and visualization of Pott's disease; 2000-2021(MediHealth Academy Yayıncılık, 2023) Yılmaz, Selçuk; Alkan, Sevil; Öner, Süleyman Kaan; Demirkıran, Nihat Demirhan; Kuyubaşı, Numan; Arslan, CengizAims: Spinal tuberculosis, or Pott's disease, is a bacterial infection of the spine, which is primarily brought on by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this study, Pott's disease-related research papers from the Web of Science database were examined scientometrically. The study's time frame is between 2000 and 2021.

However, current treatments, especially anti tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatments, can lead to tuberculosis. Objectives: This study's objective was to analyze tuberculosis and psoriasis-related literature that was published between 1970 and 2021 by using scientometric techniques. Methods: In this bibliometric analysis study, the Web of Science database was used to find the articles on psoriasis and tuberculosis that were published between 1970 and 2021. The VOSviewer software program was used to generate visualization knowledge maps including co-citation, co-authorship, co-occurrence, and keyword analysis. Results: A total of 127 documents in the field of psoriasis and tuberculosis were indexed in the Web of Science database. The first reports were in 1971, but until 2004 there was no other publications. Since 2010 the number of publications started to increase. The most of the publications were articles (49.606%) and 91.339% of them were published in Science Citation Index Expanded indexed journals. 576 authors contributed to psoriasis and tuberculosis literature from 36 countries. The United States (n=26), Italy (n=21), Spain (n=12) were the first 3 countries in the number of publications. The most of the articles were from Dermatology (n=93, 73%) and Rheumatology (n=11, 9%) research areas. Conclusion: As can be understood from this current study on psoriasis and tuberculosis, it has become more popular, especially with anti-TNF treatments. This study recommends focusing more on tuberculosis, especially in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients receiving anti-TNF therapy.Öğe Analysis of Scientific Publications on Acinetobacter bacteremia in Web of Science(The Turkish Society Of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2021) Alkan, Sevil; Dindar Demiray, Emine Kübra; Yıldız, Emel; Özlu, CanObjective: We aimed to investigate the literature on Acinetobacter bacteremia (AB), which is always on the agenda because of increased mortality and morbidity.Methods: We used the keywords “Acinetobacter and bacteremia” and limited our search to the journal articles. Retrieved data were analysed to present various bibliometric indicators while maps were visualised using the VOSviewer technique. Data pertaining to the growth of publications, the most active countries and institutions, the most cited journals, and the mapping of molecular mechanisms of resistance were analysed.Results: A total of 179 journal articles were retrieved, with an average of 24.68 citations per article. The annual growth of AB articles showed an increasing pattern during the study period.

Materials/methods: A total of 147 patients with chronic HBV infection and 150 healthy volunteers were included in the multi-center case-control study. PE was evaluated using the five-item Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) validated in Turkish men. Results: The presence of PE was significantly higher in the HBV-infected group compared with the control group (32.7 vs 18.7%; p = 0.006). The METAVIR fibrosis score was significantly higher in the PE group than in the non-PE group (p = 0.028). Discussion & conclusion: PE is more common in HBV-infected patients than in healthy individuals. Chronic liver damage is more common in HBV-infected patients with PE.Öğe Association Between the Percentages of Lymphocytes, Monocytes, and Neutrophils and Brucella Epididymo-orchitis: A Multicentric Study(Galenos Publ House, 2024) Bulbul, Emre; Evlice, Oguz; Ilki, Fahri Yavuz; Dindar, Emine Kubra; Ustun, Fatih; Sevinc, Ahmet Halil; Alkan, SevilObjective: There are insufficient data in the literature concerning whether cellular changes in tissue are reflected in blood circulation in granulomatous infections, such as zoonotic brucellosis. In this study, we compared laboratory parameters between patients with brucella (BEO) and non-brucella epididymo-orchitis (NBEO). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 84 patients with BEO and 92 with NBEO who presented to six medical centers between 2017 and 2021. Results: The median age of the patients was 41 (interquartile range: 27-61) years. In the multivariate analysis, the presence of abdominal pain (p=0.003), the percentage of lymphocytes (p=0.012) and the percentage of monocytes (p=0.029) were significantly higher in the BEO group than in the NBEO group. In addition, the percentage of neutrophils (p=0.001) was significantly lower in the BEO group than in the NBEO group. In the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the percentage of lymphocytes had an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.808 at a cut-off point of >22.1%, the percentage of monocytes had an AUC value of 0.745 at a cut-off point of >7.7%, and the percentage of neutrophils had an AUC value of 0.746 at a cut-off point of <66.8%. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, there is no other study comparing the percentages of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils between patients with BEO and NBEO. The percentages of mononuclear leukocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes) and neutrophils may be useful for the prediagnosis of BEO in endemic areas.Öğe Bibliometric analysis of global rabies research between 1992-2022(University of Tabriz, 2023) Alkan, Sevil; Önder, Taylan; Mızrakçı, Serpil OğuzRabies is a deadly viral infection for which there is still no definitive cure.
