the several hospitals in Konya.
Methods: 192 K. pneumoniae strains isolated from clinic samples (urine, blood, wound etc.) from hospital laboratories and
have produced as a study material between January-August 2017. Identification of specimens was made with the identification
cards, Vitek 2 (bioMerieux, France). Patient information and localities (urine, blood, wound, sputum, catheter, other) are in
given in table.
Results: Of the isolated K. pneumoniae strains; 106 (55.20%) were obtained from urine cultures, 36 (18.75%) from blood
cultures and 20 (10.41%) from wound cultures, 14 (7.29%) from catheter cultures, 11 (5.72%) from sputum cultures, 5 (2.60%)
from Peritoneum Cultura-Tracheal Aspiat culture. Among 192 samples, K. pneumoniae strains were found mostly in K.
pneumoniae strains at most in urine and then in blood samples.
In a time, K. pneumoniae strains were isolated from the most frequent Educational Research Hospital among Konya hospitals,
mostly from the urine samples. It was then isolated from the forehead blood and wound culture samples. The K. pneumoniae
was isolated secondly from the Beyhekim Hospital, mostly from the urine samples. It was then isolated from the forehead blood
and wound culture samples. Finally, the K. pneumoniae was isolated from the Medicana Hospital, mostly from the urine
samples. It was then isolated from the forehead blood and wound culture samples.
When the number of patients according to the isolated regions and gender distributions was examined, it was determined that
the samples isolated from the urine specimens was mostly of the female patients. Secondly, it was determined to be isolated
from blood samples of the male patients, respectively. Finally, it was seen in wound and catheter cultures of female patients.
When it is look at the distribution of the 192 K. pneumoniae strain samples, in all hospitals, they were mostly found in urine
and then in blood and wound samples, respectively.
Conclusion: These results suggest that K. pneumoniae bacteria are most commonly found in the urinary tract and are a sign of
urinary tract disease. It can spread through the body via blood and it can cause many diseases. In wound cultures, we can say
that they can reproduce very quickly |

world. Preterm birth and related complications are the most significant causes of mortality. However, more than 75% of these
deaths can be prevented in intensive care circumstances through fast-growing technology and increasing knowledge. It is
known that high-risk neonates who need special care were sent to home without taking care in the preparatory period. In the
formation period, it is stated that they were taken cared in incubators in the NICU. In the modern period, including today, the
aim is not only keeping a high-risk neonate alive but also making comfortable, providing care needs and getting a similar
chance just like healthy neonates. The aim of this review is conveying to historical progress of the high-risk neonate care, unit
and related knowledge from past to the present around the World and Turkey. In addition, it is considered that it will be

| A New Approach to Weight Management: Mindful Eating | Author : Hatice Çolak, Sule Aktaç | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Traditional obesity treatments, like caloric restriction, do not cause long-term behavioral change. Mindful eating is the period
in which a person is conscious of their thoughts and actions at every moment when they are eating. Cellular hunger is a
homeostatic process that regulates the eating action according to the signals from the brain. A sensorial hunger is the activ ation
of the award path while food is served according to the pleasure of food. Emotional hunger cause starting to feed by triggering
positive and negative emotions, even if it is a full, contrary to physiological needs. Mindful eating interventions teach how to
eat, why to eat and how to make it happen, to internalize physical hunger and satiety signals, to be aware of emotions and
thoughts, and to eat from environmental factors, focusing on nutrients to be consumed without judging food choices. This
teaching offers permanently changing behaviors related to eating habits have become. It provides the acceptance of emotions
by decreasing the interest in eating and escaping from negative emotions such as stress, distress, depression. With a simple
daily mindful eating practice, it is expected that eating speed will be reduced, eating will be finished when satiety occurs,
portion sizes will be reduced, distractions will be reduced and food will be savoured. Thus, healthy weight loss is achieved by
reducing total calorie content. Future studies should be done to provide a standardization in the teaching of mindful eating and
to demonstrate the long-term effect between disease and mindful eating. |
