Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Electrophysiological Detection of Exam Stress in Health Schools' Students(Akademiai Kiado ZRt., 2024) Kazdağlı, Hasan; Ozel, H.F.; Ozturk, S.; Ceylan, D.; Erdeniz, Burak; Ozbek, M.; Şemin, Makbule İlgiAnxiety is a common issue among university students, many of them experience anxiety, depression, and stress during their school life. This study aimed to compare the acute physiological stress responses of students divided into two groups according to their perceived anxiety levels (positive test anxiety, PTAþ, and negative test anxiety, PTA-). Heart rate variability (HRV) and electrodermal activity (EDA) were used to assess stress. Thirty-one healthy volunteers participated in the study. Participants completed anxiety assessments, including the Westside Test Anxiety Scale (WTAS), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Test State Anxiety Inventory (TSAI). Based on their scores, participants were categorized into PTAþ and PTA- groups. All participants underwent 24-h continuous recordings of pulse and electrodermal activity (EDA) on two separate occasions: one day prior to a written exam and during a designated exam-free day serving as a baseline control. We compared the HRV and EDA data obtained on a regular day and on an exam day between the two groups. Results showed that the PTAþ group had significantly higher heart rate, stress index, low frequency, and short-term detrended fluctuation analysis (DFAα1) on the exam day. The tonic EDA component was also higher in the PTAþ group. Stress-related HRV and EDA parameters were negatively correlated with exam scores. In conclusion, the study found that physiological stress indicators obtained from HRV and EDA are associated with perceived exam anxiety in students. © 2024 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Prevalence and Distribution of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus in Western Türkiye Between 2019 and 2022(Akademiai Kiado ZRt., 2023) Ece, G.T.; Pira, D.; Bodur, G.L.Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a primarily sexually transmitted human pathogen linked with the formation of anogenital warts and several types of cancer including cervical cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, penile cancer, and anal cancer. HPV genotypes are divided into high-risk and low-risk in accordance with their potential for carcinogenesis. The most notable high-risk genotypes are HPV-16 and HPV-18. In this study we report on the PCR analysis results of the cervical smear results of 328 females, and 50 males who have presented to a tertiary care university hospital in the port city of İzmir, Türkiye between August 2019 and August 2022. HPV-DNA positivity percentage was determined as 25.3% (96/378). 5 of 378 patients were HPV-18 positive (age range 31-80) whereas 27 patients were HPV-16 positive (age range 29-66). 64 patients were positive for other high-risk HPV types (age range 27-56). The positivity for HPV-16, HPV-18 and other high-risk HPV types were determined as 7.14%, 1.3% and 16.9% respectively. Our results demonstrate a 25.3% (96/378) positivity among tested patients moreover, out of 96 positive cases at least 32 are vaccine preventable. This study indicates the need for higher coverage of HPV vaccination in Western Türkiye. © 2023 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest.
