    (Wiley, 2024) Ulker, Mutlu Tuce; Simsek, Aysegul; Hacioglu, Gizem Elvan; Kurt, Aysu; Erken, Serra; Yildiz, Beyza
    Healthy societies are formed by learning and maintaining sustainable healthy eating behaviors from childhood. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of short-term sustainable nutrition education on growth and development parameters of preschool children. This study is an experimental design with pretest-posttest control group. This study was carried out in two kindergartens between February 2022 and June 2023 in Turkey. The education group received 4 months of dietary behavior training. The dietary scale and anthropometric measurements were administered at the first and last meetings. Data were analyzed with 95% confidence interval. The study was completed with 174 children. A statistically significant difference was found, especially in body weight (p < 0.05) and body weight percentile values (p < 0.05) in the posttest of the education group. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found between the groups in the eating behavior scale posttest score. Nutrition education in schools is important in promoting healthy eating habits. Nutrition education improves eating behavior positively. To maintain healthy eating behaviors, however, the continuity of education is necessary. In addition, as growth and development are physical processes, it is recognized that growth and development cannot be assessed by nutrition alone.

    Healing Factors in Perforated and Unperforated Pediatric Appendectomies: A Descriptive Study
    (Erciyes Univ Sch Medicine, 2023) Simsek, Aysegul; Ar, Isil; Yildiz, Suzan; Yildirim, Bihter Ozturk
    Objective: Appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in childhood and requires urgent intervention. The goal of this research was to identify the factors influencing healing in perforated and non-perforated appendectomy procedures. Materials and Methods:This descriptive research involved 75 children who underwent appendectomy. Information was collected during the preoperative and postoperative stages using a data collection form and a pain assessment scale. Both parents and children hospitalized with appendicitis contributed to this information.Results:The primary complaints leading children to the hospital were nausea and vomiting, which started, on average, 2.7 days prior to admission. While 96% of the children underwent open surgery, 77.3% presented with non-perforated appendicitis. Feeding was ceased 9 hours pre-operation and recommenced in the 15th postoperative hour. A significant difference was noted between perforation status and discharge time. Factors influencing healing included the length of hospital stay, perforation status, preoperative information, time of postoperative oral feeding initiation, and intravenous fluid therapy.Conclusion: The study suggests that early feeding, mobilization, and patient counseling can reduce pain and expedite recovery and discharge.

    A review on microbiota: relation with diseases and nutrients role
    (Wiley, 2023) Oz, Emel; Simsek, Aysegul; Simsek, Melih; Tuncer, Nihal; Bayrak, Muharrem; Cadirci, Kenan; Brennan, Charles
    Microbiota plays an essential role in human development and body homeostasis. Individual and environmental variables influence the diversity of microbiota, which performs crucial biochemical activities in the human body and influences health status and disease in later years. Many diseases in adulthood may be prevented or treated if the relationship between the microbiome, nutrition, especially the immune system, and growth and development could be fully understood. For a healthy gut microbiota, the diet-related changes in the core microbiota must be long-lasting, achieving permanence in microbiota change. This process is possible by maintaining a sustainable diet and adhering to this diet for a long time. Therefore, this study reviewed the relationship between nutrition, microbiota, and various life-threatening diseases.
