Cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the Turkish version of the Nonarthritic Hip Score
No full textObjective: The aim of this study was to translate and cross-culturally
adapt the Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) into Turkish and determine the
validity and reliability of the translated version in physically active
patients with hip pain.
Methods Sixty young to middle-aged and physically active patients (34
women and 26 men; mean age=35 years; age range: 18-40 years) with hip
pain were included in the study. The original version of the NAHS was
first translated into Turkish and back-translated into English by two
bilingual translators each. The back-translated version was compared
with the initial English version by a committee of the four translators.
The Turkish version was then tested with 15 patients with hip pain and
15 healthy individuals. The participants were asked whether they had
difficulties in understanding the questions. Subsequently, the
questionnaire was accepted for use in the study population. Test-retest
reliability and internal consistency were assessed using Intraclass
Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha, respectively. The
construct validity was determined via the Pearson correlation
coefficient between the NAHS and Western Ontario and McMaster
Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), modified Harris Hip Score
(mHHS), and Short Form-12 (SF-12). Floor and ceiling effects were
analyzed. Exploratory factor analysis (EPA) and confirmatory factor
analysis (CFA) were performed to test construct validity.
Results: An ICC of 0.994 and Cronbach's alpha value of 0.908 were
obtained; thus, the Turkish version of the NAHS was reliable. Neither
floor nor ceiling effects (15\%) were found in the sub-parameters
(83-1.7\%) and the total score (1.7\%) of the NAHS. The EPA test showed
that this questionnaire had four factors. Model fit indices in CFA were
chi 2/df=2.23, Tucker-Lewis index=0.90, comparative fit index=0.91,
goodness of fit index=0.63, root mean square error of approximation=0.14
(90\% CI: 0.12-0.16). The NAHS total score showed an excellent
correlation with WOMAC (r=-0.909), mHHS (r=0.850), and SF-12 (r=0.811)
scores.
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the NAHS is a valid and reliable
questionnaire for young and physically active patients with hip pain

No full textA new algorithm for the colored image encryption via the modified Chua's circuit
No full textA genuine encryption/decryption algorithm has been developed by using a
new chaotic circuit, namely modified Chua's circuit (MCC). The
importance of MCC is that it exhibits hyper-chaotic behaviour for a
large parameter regime due to the double frequency dependent nature. The
numbers extracted from the solutions of the MCC are transmitted to the
newly developed algorithm for the encryption and the decryption aims.
The scrambling feature, which is implemented at the bit level using the
MCC has been applied in the algorithm. Following the encryption
procedure, the encrypted colored image has been tested by a variety of
tests including the secret key size, secret key sensitivity analysis,
histogram analysis, correlation analysis, differential analysis,
information entropy analysis, noise attack analysis and occlusion
analysis. The results are good and provide an efficient technique for
the color image encryption and decryption in the theme of secure
communication. Besides, it is not time consuming. (C) 2019 Karabuk

No full textMetoclopramide-induced dystonic reaction (MIDR) is a clinical condition
that can be seen even in all age groups even in treatment doses. A
nine-month-old girl was brought to our emergency department with acute
dystonic reaction that occurred after her 2.5-years-old sister gave her
a 10 mg/kg metoclopramide tablet two hours before admission to the
hospital. Diphenhydramine was given to the patient. One hour later, the
patient's clinical findings regressed and patient was hospitalized, and
was discharged from the hospital after 66 hours without sequelae.
Although metoclopramide-induced dystonic reaction is frequently
reported, the number of cases under one year of age is very limited. The
case presented in this report is a patient who received a higher drug
dose compared to other cases reported in the literature and recovered
without sequelae after follow-up. The most important factor resulting in
poisoning in children is not arranging the living spaces of the children
by the parents. The easiest way to prevent such cases is to educate
families on this issue
