Publication Approach to childhood mediastinal mass(Galenos Yayincilik, 2016-04-01) ; GÜLER, SALİH; Güler, Salih; Demirkaya, Metin; Sevinir, Betül; SEVİNİR, BETÜL BERRİN; 0000-0002-3232-7652; AAH-1570-2021A significant portion of the thoracic masses in childhood are seen in the mediasten. For practical identification of tumors that originate from different tissues, the mediasten is divided into two parts as superior and inferior. The inferior part is subdivided into three portions as anterior, middle and posterior. Mediastinal masses may be malignant or non-malignant. The symptoms vary according to the size and location of the mass. Anterior mediastinal masses are important because of the possibility to press the airways and great arteries. On the other hand, posterior mediastinal masses are also important because of the possibility to extend into intramedullary area and press to nerve roots. According to the symptoms and signs that occur depending on the size and pressure of the mass, immediate treatment may be required. While history and physical examination are important for diagnosis, imaging and laboratory tests are also helpful. Histopathological evaluation is often required for definitive diagnosis.Publication Cancer in patients with primary immune deficiency(Wiley, 2016-11-01) Demirkaya, M.; Sevinir, B.; Kılıç, S.; Öztürk, H.; Demirkaya, Metin; SEVİNİR, BETÜL BERRİN; KILIÇ GÜLTEKİN, SARA ŞEBNEM; ÖZTÜRK NAZLIOĞLU, HÜLYA; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk İmmunoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Onkoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; IXQ-3375-2023; 0000-0002-3232-7652; AAH-1570-2021; EUG-4353-2022; IDK-5744-2023Publication Covid-19 infection in children with cancer after the first wave in Turkey: A study of the Turkish pediatric oncology (tpog) and hematology (tphd) societies(Wiley, 2021-11-01) Kebudi, R.; Kurucu, N.; Tugcu, D.; Eker, N.; Ince, D.; Tokuc, G.; Cecen, R.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the children who have received micafungin treatment. In the study, 125 children who were hospitalized in the pediatric wards and intensive care units of our hospital and had used micafungin between November 2016 and January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical data, micafungin indication, blood values on the first and fourth days of the treatment, side effects of the drug and efficacy were evaluated. Sixty percent (75/125) of the patients were male and the mean age of all the patients were 58 +/- 67 (0-215, 30) months. Approximately half of the cases (48%) had malignancy and 13% of them were premature. Sixty-two percent (n= 37) of the malignencies were hematological (27 acute lymphocytic leukemia, nine acute myeloid leukemia, one myelodysplastic syndrome) and 38% (n= 23) were oncological (six neuroblastoma, four Hodgkin lymphoma, two Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, five sarcomas, one hepatoblastoma, five others) malignencies. The major cause of hospitalization was sepsis (53%). The patients had several risk factors like immunosuppressive therapy (n= 68, 54%), neutropenia (n= 61, 49%), central venous catheter (n= 102, 82%), nasogastric tube (n= 63, 50%), endotracheal intubation tube (n= 49, 39%), urinary catheter (n= 14, 11%) and total parenteral nutrition (n= 81, 65%). Thirteen percent (n= 16) of the cases were post-operative patients. Candida species were cultivated in 97 clinical specimens (blood, endotracheal aspirate, sputum, urine, etc.) among 23 (18%) of the patients. Thirteen (10%) of the patients had candidemia and 62% of them were non-albicans strains. In all candidemias, strains were echinocandin susceptible, and blood cultures were negative within four days. When all the patients (n= 125) were evaluated, a significant decrease in C-reactive protein, an increase in sodium, and a decrease in alanine aminotransferase were observed on the fourth day of micafungin treatment (p< 0.05). A total of 39 (31%) patients underwent various antifungal treatments for median seven (1-60) days prior to micafungin treatment. Fourteen (36%) of these 39 patients, had elevated liver function tests (LFT), 10 (26%) of them had hypokalemia, and five (13%) of them had elevated renal function tests. Ten (26%) patients had antifungal-induced hypokalemia previously; and potassium levels were normalized after micafungin treatment (p= 0.0001). The patients for which micafungin treatment was chosen due to elevated liver function tests (n= 47, 38%), whether the antifungalinduced or not; alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were decreased after micafungin treatment (p= 0.0001 and p= 0.0001, respectively). Nineteen (15%) of the patients have died within the first 30 days of micafungin treatment and one of them had candidemia. No micafungin treatment related significant side effects were observed in any of the patients. Our study showed that micafungin could be a safe and effective option in pediatric cases including newborns with high liver and kidney function tests.Publication Pedmark® reduced the risk of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in pediatric patients with hepatoblastoma, seen in a Turkish compassionate use treatment protocol(Wiley, 2023-11-01) Cabi, Emel Ünal; Tacyıldız, Nurdan; Ataseven, Eda; Sivrice, Ayşe Çiğdem; Sevinir, Betül; Brock, Penelope; Bhattacharya, Ananya; Morgan, Allison; Baskin-Bey, Edwina; Altınel, Serdar; SEVİNİR, BETÜL BERRİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.; JXF-4694-2024Publication A 3 year review of a cohort turkish paediatric oncology group (TURKPEDPGx)(Wiley, 2018-11-01) Baskın, Y.; Uncu, B.; Leblebici, A.; Kocal, G.

Demographic data of the patients, first complaints, the time to apply to a physician after the first complaint, the first application center were determined, lag time to the center that established the oncologic diagnosis, the final diagnosis, time to diagnosis at the last center, total time elapsed from the first onset of complaints to the establishment of diagnosis and the last health state of the patient were obtained from the hospital records.Results: The patients diagnosed with cancer firstly applied to a physician median 15 days. The physicianwho saw the patient for the first time referred to him/her to the center that established the final diagnosis after a median of 8 days. The median time to final diagnosis was 10 days minimum 1 days and totaly 55 days at the last center. In patients whose first symptom is fever, abdominal pain and seizures and In patients with a definitive diagnosis of germ cell tumor, neuroblastoma, kidney tumor and liver tumor, the time to the first admission was shorter than 15 days. In patients whose first symptom was a headache, and abdominal mass; in patients and central nervous system (CNS), and eyes, and in patients with the final diagnosis of CNS tumor germ cell tumor and retinoblastoma, the lag times for referrals were significantly shorter than 8 days. In patients whose first symptom was headache, nausea and vomiting, fatigue-weight loss, and visual disturbances and in patients with the final diagnosis of CNS tumors and neuroendocrine tumors, the time to diagnosis was significantly shorter than 10 days.Conclusion: Delays in diagnosis are common in children with cancer. A sustained effort should be made to raise the level of awareness of childhood cancer among parents and to sensitize all physicians, especially those who treat pediatric patients infrequently, about the warning signs of the disease.Publication Healthcare-associated infections in the department of pediatric hematology-oncology; a single center evaluation(Galenos Publishing House, 2024-04) Özdel, Zeynep Gizem Ergün; Çelebi, Solmaz; Güneş, Adalet Meral; Evim, Melike Sezgin; Sevinir, Betül Berrin; Baytan, Birol; Demirkaya, Metin; Köse, Serdal Kenan; Çetin, Benhur; Çelik, Taylan; Salı, Enes; Hacımustafaoğlu, Mustafa; ERGÜN ÖZDEL, ZEYNEP GİZEM; ÇELEBİ, SOLMAZ; MERAL GÜNEŞ, ADALET; SEZGİN EVİM, MELİKE; SEVİNİR, BETÜL BERRİN; HACIMUSTAFAOĞLU, MUSTAFA KEMAL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi; H-2691-2017Introduction: With advances in the treatment of Pediatric Hematology -Oncology (PHO) patients, the survival of patients are increasing day by day. However, Healthcare -Associated Infections (HAI) is still a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in this group of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the rates of HAI in patients who were hospitalized in Uludag University Medical Faculty PHO Clinic during the 4 -year study period. Materials and Methods: HAI was diagnosed according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) 2008 criteria. We recorded the number of patients admitted, the number of patients with HAI, the total number of HAI episodes, and the length of stay in hospital. We calculated HAI rate and HAI density (per 1000 patient -days). Results: During the four years, 3069 hospitalizations were recorded in 607 PHO patients (5.05 admissions per patient). 38.6% of the patients were female, and 61.4% male. The mean age was 100.8 +/- 63.6 months. The mean duration of hospitalization was 14 +/- 17.16 days. A total of 232 HAI episodes were recorded in 141 hospitalizations. HAI rate was 7.5%, and HAI density was 5.36/1000 patient -days. Conclusion: The HAI rates in our PHO unit were comparable to those of developed countries and lower than those of developing countries and prior results from our country.Publication Central nervous system metastases in neuroblastoma: Results of turkish pediatric oncology group neuroblastoma 2009 (TPOG-NB-2009) protocol(Wiley, 2018-11-01) Çeçen, E.; İnce, D.; Sevinir, B.; Çakır, F.

The amount of vomiting was described on numbers and the grade of nausea was described between 0-10. Vomiting and nausea was evaluated daily by the same clinician.Results: Sixty nine late nausea and vomiting episodes in 35 patients were evaluated. There were 22 females and 13 males in the study group. Mean age was 8.88 +/- 5.43 (1 to 17) years. Late nausea was found 2.8% on the first day, 81.1% on the second day, 68% on the third day, 46.3% on the fourth day and 24.6% on the fifth day. Late emesis was found 1.4% on the first day, 65.2% on the second day, 43.5% on the third day, 24.6% on the fourth day and 13% on the fifth day. There was no significant difference in nausea and emesis between boys and girls. There was a positive correlation between the age and nausea/ emesis episodes. The correlation coefficients between age and nausea grade on 2, 3, 4 and 5th days were 0.29, 0.27, 0.33, and 0.24, respectively; and p values were 0.013, 0.023, 0.005 and 0.046, respectively. The degree of the emetogenic potential of drugs on the number of emesis and the severity of nausea was found to be not significant. The vomiting was statistically significant on second and third days and grade of nausea on first, second and third days in the patients given cisplatin.Conclusion: In this study, it was found that emesis was most seen in the second day of chemotherapy, the grade of vomiting was higher in patients receiving cisplatin and there is a positive correlation between age and grade of nausea.
