    Diabetes mellitus due to olanzapine use: A case report; [Olanzapin'e baǧli diabetes mellitus: Bir olgu sunumu]
    (2003) Danaci A.E.; Mizrak S.; Hekimsoy Z.; Içelli I.
    Olanzapine, a serotonin-dopamine-receptor antagonist, is an atypical antipsychotic agent used to treat schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. It has relatively low frequency of side effects such as sedation, orthostatic hypotension, extrapyramidal symptoms, and anticholinergic side effects. Here, a 32-years-old female patient with schizophrenia who developed diabetes after 3 years of olanzapine treatment is presented. Due to lack of family history and immune marker positivity in the occurrence of diabetes, the condition was attributed to olanzapine treatment. After discontinuation of the treatment DM was improved. Controlled studies are necessary both to elucidate the mechanism by which olanzapine can cause dysregulation of glucose homeostasis, and to develop guidelines for the use of olanzapine in patients with known as well as in patients with risk factors for diabetes.

    The effect of visual education aimed at the basic needs of individuals with disabilities on the health literacy and life quality of caregivers
    (Routledge, 2024) Açıl D.; Sevgi Dogan E.; Bilgin N.; Eser B.; Sengül N.; Mutlu B.; Sivecan H.; Sevener U.; Mizrak S.; Atli Ozbas A.; Erkus M.E.
    The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of visual education for the basic needs of people with disabilities on the health literacy and life quality of caregivers. The study sample comprised 268 caregivers evaluated in a pretest-posttest pattern. The data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Health Literacy Scale, and the World Health Organization [WHO] Life Quality Scale-Short Form. Data were evaluated with the Wilcoxon test and Spearman correlation analysis. Following the education given to caregivers, an increase was determined in the Health Literacy Scale sub-dimension of information comprehension and in the WHO Life Quality Scale-Short Form sub-dimension of social relations. Thus it was seen that the visual education increased the health literacy and life quality of the caregivers. © 2024 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
