ABSTRACT
Case: Herein 73 year- old female patient with distal interphalangial (DIP) joint gouty arthritis accompanying nodal OA was presented. There was significant redness and swelling in the joint, joint was warm and tender on palpation and range of motion was very painful. Conclusion: The presentation of acute or subacute arthritis in interphalangial joints of a woman with preexisting nodal OA may obscure the correct diagnosis and coexisting gouty arthritis may be overlooked.
ABSTRACT
Research conducted to define general knowledge of university students' attitudes and behaviors about family planning. The sample consisted of 755 Sakarya University students. Data were collected from an open-ended questionnaire form and face-to-face interviews. The data analysis process was conducted using specific software. Most participants (59.7%) were over 22 years old and female, and 1.2 % of the females were married. Women in the study had a positive outlook regarding the positive effects of family planning on sexual health and stated that family planning is important to both society and our economy. The awareness and knowledge regarding family planning was found to be strongest among older participants. The family planning concept was understood correctly by about half of the students. Finally, young people did not have sufficient knowledge about family planning, its methods or where to obtain information on the topic.

This study was conducted to determine fungal spores in the indoor air of the houses in the city of Afyon, Western-Anatolia, Turkey. We investigated the seasonal properties of mould spores in 10 houses of Afyon over a period of one year. Viable moulds were recovered from all 10 houses. Twenty seven different moulds were isolated and identified from the indoor air of the houses. The most common genus was Cladosporium spp. (31.9%), followed by Aspergillus spp. (18.6%), Penicillium spp. (15.5%), Altemaria spp. (13.0%) and other species (21.0%). The mould concentration was higher in the kitchens than in other parts of the houses such as the living rooms and bedrooms (p < 0.05). The fungal flora of the air in the Afyon city region has a seasonal variation. All fungal species had their highest prevalence in summer and their lowest in winter, but only Aspergillus spp. had a significant seasonal variation (p = 0.012). Viable moulds are common in the houses of Afyon. Reducing these indoor fungi is necessary to improve the health of individuals with fungal-induced diseases like asthma.
