    State-based measurement of emotion regulation: The Turkish versions of SERI and S-DERS
    Gökdag, C; Günay, G; Demir, G
    Recent studies emphasize the importance of state-based measurement of emotion regulation because of its context-sensitive and flexible background. In many studies, emotion regulation is measured as state-based as well as trait-based; however, only a few offers standard measurements. The State Emotion Regulation Inventory (SERI) and the State-Difficulties in Emotion Regulation (S-DERS) are standardized scales specifically designed for this purpose. Ultimately, the aim of this study was to adapt these scales into Turkish and investigate their psychometric properties using a laboratory-based emotion induction procedure. The data were collected from 167 undergraduate students. They first filled out trait-based scales, were then recruited to the stage of negative emotional state induction, and, finally, responded to the question in the SERI and the S-DERS to evaluate their emotion regulation experiences during the emotion induction phase. As a result, we confirmed the four-factor structures of the scales with good internal consistencies. While the SERI had weak associations with emotion dysregulation, thought control, and psychological distress, the S-DERS had strong relationships with these variables. Moreover, the incremental validities of the SERI and the S-DERS were acceptable when predicting both negative emotional state and psychological distress. Overall, our results suggest that the SERI and S-DERS are psychometrically valid and reliable measurements to assess state emotion regulation in Turkish speakers.

    The Effect of Diabetes Camp on Glycemic Variability in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
    Ata, A; Ari, G; Isiklar, H; Demir, G; Altinok, YA; Ersoy, B; Özen, S; Darcan, S; Göksen, D
    Aim: Glycemic variability can be affected in diabetes camps as a result of sports, social activities and nutrition. Close glucose monitoring is necessary to reduce glycemic variability, especially hypoglycemia. The aim assessment of glycemic variability and time in range by use of the flash glucose monitoring system (FGMS) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three children and adolescents between 10-18 years of age who participated in the 2018 diabetes camp of Ege University were included. Their glycemic variability indexes were recorded. Results: The mean age and duration of diabetes mellitus in the study group was 13.3 +/- 0.5 and 4.9 +/- 0.7 years respectively. Twelve (43%) of the participants were boys and 16 (57%) were girls. Ten (35.7%) of the participants used continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pump therapy while 18 (64.3%) used multiple dose insulin therapy. When the participants were evaluated according to time in range (TIR), the duration of TIR increased, and level 1 and level 2 hyperglycemia decreased during the camp. Participants using CSII had spent more time in level 2 hypoglycemia before camp, but during and after the camp, similar values were reached for both groups. Before the camp, participants with good metabolic control had a longer duration of hypoglycemia than those participants with poor metabolic control. During and after the camp, level 1 and level 2 hypoglycemia periods were similar between the two groups. Conclusion: In diabetes camp, healthy diet, regular exercise, and close glycemic control improve glycemic variability. By using FGMS, normoglycemia periods can be increased without increasing hypoglycemic attacks. As a result, using FGMS had a positive effect on diabetes management and the control of hypoglycemia periods during the diabetes camp.

    Brain metastasis in colorectal cancer is highly rare. In the present study, we aimed to determine the frequency of brain metastasis in colorectal cancer patients and to establish prognostic characteristics of colorectal cancer patients with brain metastasis. In this cross-sectional study, the medical files of colorectal cancer patients with brain metastases who were definitely diagnosed by histopathologically were retrospectively reviewed. Brain metastasis was detected in 2.7 % (n = 133) of 4,864 colorectal cancer patients. The majority of cases were male (53 %), older than 65 years (59 %), with rectum cancer (56 %), a poorly differentiated tumor (70 %); had adenocarcinoma histology (97 %), and metachronous metastasis (86 %); received chemotherapy at least once for metastatic disease before brain metastasis developed (72 %), had progression with lung metastasis before (51 %), and 26 % (n = 31) of patients with extracranial disease at time the diagnosis of brain metastasis had both lung and bone metastases. The mean follow-up duration was 51 months (range 5-92), and the mean survival was 25.8 months (95 % CI 20.4-29.3). Overall survival rates were 81 % in the first year, 42.3 % in the third year, and 15.7 % in the fifth year. In multiple variable analysis, the most important independent risk factor for overall survival was determined as the presence of lung metastasis (HR 1.43, 95 % CI 1.27-4.14; P = 0.012). Brain metastasis develops late in the period of colorectal cancer and prognosis in these patients is poor. However, early screening of brain metastases in patients with lung metastasis may improve survival outcomes with new treatment modalities.
