    Objective: In the following study, effect of social class and social security on reaching diagnostic and therapeutic health care services in Manisa is evaluated in both out-patient and in-patient basis. Material and Methods: The households were determined in proportion to targeting populations in health care facilities (health houses) by using cluster sampling method and 11284 people representing the population in Manisa city center (n:232760) was included in the study. The data was collected by pollsters using face to face technique. Crude risks were calculated in different social classes and in those with or without social security for history of health problems and access to diagnostic and therapeutic health care services on outpatient and the inpatient basis. Multivariable risks were revised in accordance with age, sex and chronic health problems. Results: In comparison to unemployed population, the health problems in last 15 days was 1.79 (1.17-2.75) times more common in upper social class and similar figures were also seen in middle social class and lower social class, being 1.51 (1.10 -2.06) and 1.44 (1.04-2.00), respectively. Moreover, reaching to diagnostic\ theraupetic health care services in last 15 days was 1.73 (1.08-1.46) times more common in upper social class and this value was 1.46 (1.03-2.06) in middle social class and 1.53 (1.07-2.20) in lower social class. The revised risks of having diagnostic and therapeutic health care were similar in different social classes. In comparison to those without any social security, it was found that those with social security reported having health problems 1.58 (1.17-2.13) times more, and this was also true for out-patient diagnostic\therapeutic medical care being 2.57 (1.75-3.78) and inpatient being 3.37 (2.11-5.40) times more. Conclusion: There are inequalities against those being unemployed and those without social securities with respect to accessing to health care services. © 2010 by Türkiye Klinikleri.

    The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative commenced during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999. The initial goals were (1) to propose a new allergic rhinitis classification, (2) to promote the concept of multi-morbidity in asthma and rhinitis and (3) to develop guidelines with all stakeholders that could be used globally for all countries and populations. ARIA - disseminated and implemented in over 70 countries globally - is now focusing on the implementation of emerging technologies for individualized and predictive medicine. MASK [MACVIA (Contre les Maladies Chroniques pour un Vieillissement Actif)-ARIA Sentinel NetworK] uses mobile technology to develop care pathways for the management of rhinitis and asthma by a multi-disciplinary group and by patients themselves. An app (Android and iOS) is available in 20 countries and 15 languages. It uses a visual analogue scale to assess symptom control and work productivity as well as a clinical decision support system. It is associated with an inter-operable tablet for physicians and other health care professionals. The scaling up strategy uses the recommendations of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing. The aim of the novel ARIA approach is to provide an active and healthy life to rhinitis sufferers, whatever their age, sex or socio-economic status, in order to reduce health and social inequalities incurred by the disease. © 2016 The Author(s).

    Brief report: International perspectives on the pediatric COVID-19 experience
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020) Yilmaz O.; Gochicoa-Rangel L.; Blau H.; Epaud R.; Lands L.C.; Lombardi E.; Moore P.E.; Stein R.T.; Wong G.W.K.; Zar H.J.
    The 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is endangering human health worldwide; scarcity of published pediatric cases and current literature and the absence of evidence-based guidelines necessitate international sharing of experience and personal communication. On 31 March 2020 the International Committee of the American Thoracic Society Pediatrics Assembly recorded an online podcast, during which pediatric pulmonologists worldwide shared their experience on the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in children. The aim was to share personal experience in organizing pediatric care in different health care settings globally, protecting health care workers, and isolation practices. This manuscript summarizes the common themes of the podcast which centered around three main topics: more benign clinical disease and progression in pediatric cases compared to adults, a strong need for strategies to protect health care workers, and social or economic disparities as a barrier to successful pandemic control. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
