Case Report. Tinea pedis and onychomycosis in primary school children in Turkey.

A cross-sectional study was performed in two primary schools with different socioeconomic status in the suburban and central areas of Manisa, Turkey, in order to determine the prevalence of tinea pedis and onychomycosis. A full dermatological examination and a questionnaire on socioeconomic conditions were performed in a group of 785 randomly selected children aged 6-14. Of 9 clinically suspected tinea pedis and 4 onychomycoses cases, KOH examination (direct microscopy) and/or mycological cultures were positive in six boys, in whom Candida glabrata and C. tropicalis grew. Older age and higher number of siblings were found to be significant factors for fungal infection.

The anatomy of the arterial supply of the thoracic limb of the porcupine (Hystrix cristata).

The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the arterial supply and branches of the thoracic limb of the porcupine. With this aim, five (three male and two female) adult porcupines were used. The vascular tree of the thoracic limb was injected through the common carotid arteries with coloured latex. The a. thoracica externa arose from the a. axillaris at the level of the fourth rib. It divided into two branches and went to the m. cutaneus trunci and the m. pectoralis ascendens. The a. subscapularis came off the a. thoracodorsalis. Later, the a. circumflexa humeri caudalis et cranialis, the three muscular branches and the a. circumflexa scapulae arose from the a. subscapularis. The a. profunda brachii arose together with the a. bicipitalis from the same truncus. The a. collateralis ulnaris left from the a. brachialis independently. Rete carpi dorsale was formed by the a. radialis. the r. carpeus dorsalis of the a. collateralis ulnaris and the a. interossea caudalis. Arcus palmaris profundus was formed by the r. profundus of the a. interossea caudalis and the r. palmaris profundus of the a. radialis. In conclusion, despite a partial resemblance to that in the rat, the distribution of the thoracic limb arteries in the porcupine was found to be completely different from that of other mammals. These findings represent, to our knowledge, the first study on the distribution of thoracic limb arteries in the porcupine.

Evaluation of rational antibiotic use.

The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a major problem throughout the world and a rational use of antibiotics is therefore very important. This study was performed to estimate the appropriateness of antimicrobial drug use in Celal Bayar University Hospital in Manisa. The data of all inpatients (n=937) between October and December 1998 were collected according to the Kunin and Jones criteria. Of the patients, 16.6% (n=156) were receiving antibiotics, and in 63.5, 23.0 and 13.5% of these, a single, two and three agents were used, respectively. The purpose of antibiotic use was for prophylaxis in 23.9%, as an empiric decision in 71.4% and for therapeutic culture-based reasons in 4.7%. The rate of rational antibiotic use was 45.7% and it was statistically higher in those patients from whom specimens had been taken for culture than in patients receiving prophylactic or empiric antibiotics. On medical wards, rational antibiotic usage was 55.1%, while it was 26.3% in surgical wards (P<0.0001). The low rate of appropriate antibiotic use in our university hospital reflects the urgent need of rationalization.
