  An evaluation of societal perception of monkeypox in terms of disease anxiety and stress levels: A Turkish sample

  Yeşiltepe, Akgün; Ayşe, Ç.A.L.

  Objective: The purpose of this research was to examine community perception of monkeypox in terms of epidemic anxiety and stress levels. Methods: This research was performed as a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The research was conducted with 1001 individuals between September and December 2022. AMOS 24, JAMOVI, and SPSS version 25 software were employed. The data were collected using a descriptive form, the Epidemic Anxiety Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Results: The mean Epidemic Anxiety Scale score was 52.47 ± 14.52, and the mean Perceived Stress Scale score was 41.88 ± 6.83. Significant positive correlation was determined between the Epidemic Anxiety Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale (r = 0.350, p =.000). A one-unit increase in perceived stress caused a 0.360 increase in epidemic anxiety (ß = 0.360). In addition, having heard of and fearing monkeypox, thinking about its ability to cause an epidemic, and perceived stress emerged as significant predictors of epidemic anxiety. Conclusion: The community was found to exhibit a moderate level of epidemic anxiety and a low level of perceived stress. Epidemic anxiety levels increased in line with perceived stress levels. We recommend that individuals in need receive support by determining epidemic anxiety and perceived stress levels in the community.

  Unraveling the ecotoxicological effects of micro and nano-plastics on aquatic organisms and human health

  Plastic pollution ranks among the most severe environmental disasters caused by humans, generating millions of tonnes of waste annually. The extensive and unregulated use of plastics has led to ecotoxicity and environmental imbalance. Microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in aquatic environments, and these MPs further degrade into even smaller particles known as nano-plastics (NPs). Both MPs and NPs impact the environment by readily absorbing organic pollutants and pathogens from their surroundings, owing to their bigger surface area to volume ratio. This review focuses on the source of origin, bioaccumulation, and potential impact of MPs and NPs on aquatic organisms and human health. Additionally, the review explores various methods employed for identification and quantification of these particles in aquatic ecosystems. Sufficient information is available on their characteristics, distributions, and effects on marine ecosystems compared with freshwater ecosystems. For plastic particles <10 μm, more toxicological effects were observed compared with larger size particles, in aquatic life. Understanding the mechanism of action and ecotoxicological effects of micro/nano-plastics on the health of aquatic life across various trophic levels, as well as human health, is of utmost importance. We address knowledge gaps and provide insights into future research approaches for a better understanding of the interactive mechanisms between binary pollutants.

  Presence of E. coli O157:H7 in Cakes Marketed in Elazig

  Öksüztepe, Gulsum; Patir, Bahri; Çalicioglu, Mehmet; Ilhak, O. Irgan; Dikici, Abdullah

  The present study was undertaken to investigate the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in cakes (plain, with cacao, with fruit) marketed in Elazig. A total of 200 cake samples as 100 plain, 50 with cacao, and 50 with fruit were analysed. Following the enrichment, the samples were plated on to CT-SMAC agar. A total of 208 typical colonies (colourless) as 138 colonies from 65 plain cakes, 25 colonies from 8 cakes with cacao, and 45 colonies from 19 cakes with fruit were isolated. These colonies were subjected to further analysis given in the materials and methods section for identification of serotype O157:H7 of E. coli. However, no colonies representing E. coli O157 were detected in any of the samples. Therefore, analysis was not proceeded for determining H7 in any of the isolates. E. coli O157:H7 was not detected in any of the cake samples analyzed. Although this finding is a good news for public health, considering other pathogens, which may exist in cakes, it is concluded and reemphasized that strict hygienic practices should be applied at every stage of cake production.
