The studv was performed on 620 Staphyloccus isolated from various clinical specimens sent to Sel-, cuk University, Medical Faculty, Laboratory of-Microbiology and Clinical Microblology De-paı-tment . 86 (14.0 %) of alt microorganisms weı-e detected tü be methicillin-resistant. Activities of van-comycine and teicoplanin against 86 and 46 MRSA microorganisnıs in order were tested by Kirby-Bauer disc dfflısion method. Vancomycine(30 meg) and teicoplanin (30 mcg) standart discs were used and alsa S. aureus (ATCC 25923) standart strains was used as a contı-ol. As a res•lt, 17o resistance against vancomycine in 86 MRSA strains while there were 2 (4.34 %) re-sistant strains against teicoplanin in 46 MRSA mic-roorganisms.

The study was carried out on thı-ee groups of rats as fallows: Control group, alcohol fed group and pair - fed group. The alcohol group was fed for 12 days with a diet containing 4,5g1kgiday ethyl alcohol. The pair fed group was giren glııco..ve (7.88 glkglgün) whi•h calory level was equal to the ealory level of alcohol giren to the second group. At the end of the jeeding period, fas-ting serum glucose, triglycerid, phospholipid and jree fatty acid leveis were measured in the serum of those three groups. The postınortal histological changes ira liver, kidneys„rtomach, spleen and lung were examined bir light microscopy. Triglycerid, phospholipid and fi-ee faty acid levels of alcohol group were higheı- than those of conwol and pair -feci group. Verv common high mitotic activity (in the' early pro-phase) in the hepatocytes at the peripheral of the elassical lobules, semidiffilse hemorrhagies in the glomerıdes and eıythrocytes infiltrated into the intertubuler area were seen at the light microscopic e_x-amination of the liver and kidney specimen.s of al-cohol giyen group. it concluded that the level of triglycerid, phospholipid and free fatty acid increase in serum due tü alcohol intake. it is supposed that th.e increase is not related with alcohol calory but it may be related with general effect of alcohol on nıe-tabolic activity of human Body.

We studied- the eflect of decompression methods for bacteriemia in the obstruction of small in-testine. Fourty mongrel dogs were included iız this study and the only laparotomy was peıformed in ten (control group), intestinal obstruction was per-formed irz thiı-ty hy obliterating terminal ileum 5 cm pı-oximal to the caecum using silk. After a 48 hours peı-iod, nhstruction was opened in ten, ohstruction was opened and retrograde decompression and na-sogastric aspiration was added in ten, obstruction was opened and decompression was performed hy enterotomy in ten. Blood sample was taken for blood culture 15 m.inute hefore and atter decompression procedııre. Bacteriemia hy E. coli was higher in de-compression groups than the control group which obstr-uction was opened only (p<0,05). There was no differences hetween the two decompression groups. As a result of study, we concluded that de-•ompression cause bacteriemia iıı small intestinal obstruction.

The electrocardiography (EKG) is a usefid di-agnostic tool, extensiyely used in either cardiac pa-tient or normal infrequent that abnormal changes are obseryed. When EKG'_ç of the elderly people, not as.sociated with a cardiac disorder, are examined. The this study 400 subjects, having been exa-mined in the outpatient department were involved. The ECG's examined, revealed nn overall «ab-normality rate of % 32. A : 53 abnoı-mality was ob-served. in cardiac patient, whereas %12 of normal subjects clemostrated an abnormal ECG. Moreoyer, these changes in ECGs were not associated with a pathological coııdition.

This study was carried oral retrospectively at Selçuk University Family Center covering the di-vorce cases lı-oın the law-court files 1993 in Konya. The inf'ormation on the divorce registers ►eı-e exa-nıined carefidly and Conflict Tactic Scale is revised for adapting the divorce cases due ta spousal agg-ression towards married women. There result ob-tained data vere analyzed according to minitab sta-tistical programe. Total 526 divorce cases accured in Konya 1993 and divorce due ta agression was found that verbal aggression represented the major cause of divorce (42.44%) followed by physical (33.09%) and verbal and physical aggression (24.46%). The age difference hetween the spouses, espe•ialy signıficant (p<0.05). That is most divorce due to aggresion was occurred between 21-32 yeaı-s of married women age. On the other hand the age of spouses at the time of marriage, the husbands age at the time of divorce, the duration of marriage, the number of either man ör woman did not show sta-significant influence on the divorce due to aggression. As a result, it can be concluded that aggression towards women in general is a major cause of divorce and physical and abusive agg-ression is the serious aspect of divorce due ta agg-r-ession.

In this research the result of sport's effects has been aimed at eliminating the anxiety common among the university youth. 311 students who are not involyed with sporrs and studying in 7 different departmenrs of Education Faculty of Konya Selçuk • University have formed the examplification of the re-search. Anxiety Standart (STAJ} has always been used in the research. 30 students of 60 students they have high anxiety level were applied sporting ac-tivities. The otheı- 30 students served as control group. Pre-test middle test and past-test applied (STAJ) nn both the experimental group and the rant-rol group. Results vere estimated by varianse analy-se. As a result of this, the anxiety level offemale stu-dents has been found ta be higher when compared ta maks° fi-om the gender variahle point. It has been ohserved that sport activities have caused a der-rease in the anxiety level of both sexes. According ta the age variahle, a sindlaı- level of anxiety has been seen at the beginning. It has appeared that the sport activities have caused a decrease in all age ca-tegorier and anxiety levels. The decrease mentioned has its highest level in 19-20 age group.- According ta the field variahle, the sport activities have plaved an effective role in reducing anxiety.

In this study, 60 women who had undergone gynecologic operations or laparo~ies ımder ge-neral anaesthesia allocated randonly into three groups (which had 20 patients each) ta receive patient-controlled analgesia with either meperidine combined 141th antiemetics (in group one with on-dansetron and group two with metoclopramide) m-meperidine alone (group 3-placebo). Bolus doses of meperidine 20 mg, and ondansetron 0,5 nig or me-toclopramide 2,7 mg ?vere used with a lockout time of 5 min. During the first 24 h after surgery the mean (range) dose of ondansetron in the on-dansetron group was 2,9 ± 0,9 nıg and me-toclopramide in the metoclopramide group 14,5 ± 4,3 mg. Signıficantly ftwer patients in ondansetron and mewclopramide groups had nausea (P<0,01 and 0,05 respectively). Side effects were not ob-served in any patient. Significantly More patient had the opinion that patient controlled analgesia had provided excellent analgesia when antiemetics were used.
