Smart Logistic Approach in Healthcare
(UIKTEN - Association for Information Communication Technology Education and Science, 2026) Antepli, Ali; Gerekli, İsa; Bozkurt, İbrahim
The business world today is faced with new and rapid changes in basic customer demands and needs as a result of global competition. State institutions and private hospitals have also started reviewing their costs and supply rates and are looking for solutions to market demands and costs in order to remain competitive. One of the most important ways to efficiently use and track the devices owned by hospitals, the utilization of Industry 4.0 technologies, including the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, and cyber-physical systems. The desire for a more flexible supply process that adapts to market conditions and aligns with customer and patients’ needs has sparked interest in these technologies. This research aims to investigate the advantages of smart logistics applications using industry 4.0 technologies for businesses and hospitals, reveals the differences between traditional methods, and contributes to the literature through a literature review. The comprehensive literature review concluded that smart logistics technologies positively affect the productivity of hospital staff and the quality of service provided. Most of the literature on smart logistics focuses on theoretical and conceptual studies, which support the idea that smart logistics is a very new field. © 2026 Ali Antepli, Isa Gerekli & Ibrahim Bozkurt; published by UIKTEN.

Pizza Kültürü ve Pizza Tüketimine Yönelik Bir Araştırma: İstanbul Örneği
(2026) İbiş, Salim; Özdemir, Hakan
Bu araştırmada, küresel mutfak kültüründe önemli bir yere sahip olan pizzaya yönelik tüketici profilinin ve tüketim alışkanlıklarının kapsamlı bir şekilde incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışma verileri, İstanbul örneğinde farklı sosyo-demografik özelliklere sahip 393 gönüllü katılımcıdan, kolayda örnekleme tekniği aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, faktör analizi, ANOVA ve t-testi gibi istatistiksel analiz yöntemleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan faktör analizinde; ürün özellikleri, personel davranışı, fiziki unsurlar, fiyat politikası, hız ve pazarlama faaliyetleri olmak üzere altı boyut belirlenmiştir. Ardından bu boyutlara yönelik demografik özelliklere göre farklılık testleri uygulanmıştır. Buna göre; eğitim seviyesi arttıkça ürün özellikleri, hız ve pazarlama faaliyetlerine yönelik algıların pozitif yönde arttığı, düşük gelir grubundaki katılımcıların ürün özellikleri, personel davranışı ve fiziki unsurlara yönelik algılarının diğer gruplara göre daha düşük olduğu, tek başına veya aile ile pizza tüketenlerin personel davranışına ve fiziki unsurlara yönelik algılarının, arkadaşlarıyla tüketenlere göre daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların pizza tercihinde lezzet en önemli faktör olduğu belirlenmiş, tüketicilerin marka önemine yüksek düzeyde dikkat ettiği ve yeni pizza deneyimlerine açık olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bulguların, pizza sektöründeki işletmeler için hedef kitleye yönelik etkin pazarlama stratejileri geliştirme, ürün ve hizmet kalitesini iyileştirme gibi konularda yol gösterici nitelikte olmakla birlikte ilgili literatüre de katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
A rare form of schwannomatosis on the volar surface of the hand and wrist: A case report
(Elsevier, 2024) Kıraç, Müge; Kara, Abbdullah Burak; Bulut, Halil İbrahim; Başdemir, Gülçin; Gümüş, Danyal; Özkan, Korhan
Background: Schwannomas, which are also known as neurilemomas, constitute the most common type of peripheral nerve tumors. These tumors can grow slowly and occur as painless swellings over the course of several years before their diagnosis. The aim of this report is to present a case of a very rare plexiform schwannoma originating from second digital nerve and multiple schwannomas from third and fourth digital nerves and palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve with emphasis given on differential diagnosis and treatment strategy. Case Presentation: A 15-year-old patient presented with soft tissue masses on the volar surface of the hand, initially diagnosed as benign nerve sheath tumors. Surgical excision was performed twice, preserving nerves and tendons. Recurrence occurred, and subsequent biopsy confirmed benign nerve sheath tumors. Microscopic examination revealed multinodular/plexiform schwannoma in the larger lesion and simple schwannomas in others, leading to a diagnosis of multiple schwannomatosis. All surgeries resulted in intact sensory and motor function. Conclusion: Surgical treatment can be curative and effectively employed for concomitant schwannoma tumors. Nevertheless, with careful planning and execution, surgery remains a promising option for patients with concomitant schwannomas. Further research and long-term follow-up studies are needed to fully understand the outcomes and refine the techniques used in these surgical treatments.
Knowledge and awareness of pollen-food allergy syndrome among dentists: A cross-sectional survey
(Science Direct, 2026) Dolu, K.O; Arslan, S.; Arslan, E.
Background and objective: This cross-sectional survey represents the first study to systematically quantify pollenfood allergy syndrome (PFAS) awareness and clinical management approaches among actively practising dentists. Methods: Seventy-seven dentists in Istanbul, Turkey participated (mean age 34.4 ± 7.9 years; 72.7% female) in this cross-sectional, descriptive survey. The survey was distributed via an open link through professional messaging and social media platforms; accordingly, a response rate could not be calculated. Results: Nearly all participants (97.4%) had received no postgraduate allergy training, and 94.8% reported inadequate or absent PFAS awareness. A critical recognition–application gap was identified: 62.3% selected the correct definition from multiple-choice options, yet only 37.7% correctly interpreted an equivalent clinical scenario involving raw versus cooked food reactions – and notably, 41.7% of those who correctly identified the definition still failed this scenario. More strikingly, 93.5% had never considered PFAS in differential diagnosis despite 54.5% reporting encounters with oral mucosal complaints in the preceding year. PFAS knowledge showed no association with professional experience, specialty, or prior patient encounters (all P > 0.05), indicating a systemic educational deficit rather than an experience-dependent gap. Conversely, 71.4% correctly identified allergy and immunology as the appropriate referral specialty, and 81.8% rated their educational need at the highest level. Conclusions: These findings reveal that PFAS remains a diagnostically invisible syndrome in dental practice. Given dentists’ frontline position in encountering oral mucosal symptoms – the hallmark presentation of PFAS – integration of allergic syndromes into dental curricula, structured allergist–dentist referral pathways, and practical screening protocols are urgently needed.
Postoperative thirst in children: Experience of children's, parents and health professionals
(2026) Şensoy, Özlem; Mert, Sabiha; Aydın, Ayfer; Şahin, Ceylan
Purpose: Thirst is one of the most distressing symptoms experienced by pediatric patients after surgery. This study aimed to explore and document the experiences of children, parents, and health professionals regarding postoperative thirst, providing insights to develop care strategies that address the emotional and psychological needs of pediatric patients. Design: A qualitative approach was employed to gather in-depth insights into the experiences of children, parents, and health professionals regarding postoperative thirst. Methods: Purposive sampling was employed in a Pediatric Surgery Unit, involving a total of 40 participants: ten children, sixteen parents, and fourteen health professionals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with all participants, and the transcribed data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Findings: The content analysis revealed five themes: physical symptoms, feeling of discomfort, lack of knowledge, coping strategies, and suggestions. Conclusions: This qualitative study highlights the critical importance of addressing postoperative thirst in enhance the physical and emotional well-being of pediatric patients, emphasizing that thirst is not merely a physical symptom but a multidimensional experience that significantly affects children and their families. Implications to practice: This findings supports health professional should be educated on recognizing and managing postoperative thirst as a symptom in postoperative care. Integrating evidence-based thirst management strategies into postoperative care protocols can significantly improve patient outcomes, reduce anxiety, and promote recovery, ultimately advancing the quality of pediatric surgical care. © 2026 Elsevier Inc.
