Abstract : Organizations can only get optimum benefit from their most important source 'Human Resources (HR)' if they bring in, keep and develop them even further which would allow organizations to reach their targets and join in a rivalry. This study reviews recruitment processes for patient services personnel of a private healthcare organization, assesses adaptation training, and analyzes the effects on promotion. The patient services personnel recruited in the mentioned healthcare organization may directly start to work, or the candidates may be given an adaptation training and start working in branches after going through a specific training program. 434 people were recruited as patient services personnel in 2015, and participated in an orientation training called “Campus Program.” When the number of patient complaints in two branches of the healthcare organization was analyzed, the rate of complaints per employee that did not graduate from the Campus Program (non-graduates) was found to be 2.83; while the rate of complaints per employee that graduated from the Campus Program (graduates) was 0.30 in the first branch. In the second branch, the rate of complaints per non-graduate employee was 5.89, while the rate of complaints per graduate employee was 0.07 in the first branch. According to the data for the end of 2015, personnel turnover rate was realized as 18% for Campus Program graduates and 22% for Patient Services personnel. Annual personnel turnover rate for the same occupational group was 26% in 2014 and 24% in 2013.

Abstract : This research was conducted to determine the level of professionalism of health care managers. Therefore, the personal and professional differences affecting the levels of professionalism of individuals working in private or public hospitals and working as managers in different fields were investigated and the results obtained were compiled. In the study, 123 individuals from the universe of 218 people were reached and the ones who were reached were asked to complete Swailes questionnaire (2003). Results show that the as the level of education increases, levels of professionalism of also increases. According to our results, choosing the occupation consciously has a positive effect on professionalism level. Also, the time of managerial duty was also founded as a factor contributing to the professionalism level. Lastly, the results showed that the level of professionalism is higher among people who positioned as ‘different levels of management’ than those who have other positions. In the light of these results, it is recommended to increase the education levels of the people who work as managers, to help people choose the profession consciously and to provide support for increasing the level of professionalism in all levels, not only in the time of the managerial duty. In addition, it is important to encourage the activities among people who work in different positions in health institutions to increase their professional professionalism skills equally.

Abstract : Introduction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of Total Fill (FKG Dentaire SA, Switzerland) and compare it with white MTA and Biodentine. Materials and methods. The biocompatibility of Total Fill (FKG Dentaire SA, Switzerland) was tested in comparison with ΜΤΑ (Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK) and Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur des Fosses, France) bioceramic materials. Cytotoxicity was investigated in terms of cell proliferation throughout the MTT assay, cell viability using FDA/PI test on MG63 pre-osteoblasts cell line for 24h, 48h and 72h. SEM micrographs have been used to describe the morphology of the cells seeded on the different ceramics. The alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) was measured using the QUANTI-Blue method for experimental and control groups. As control the cells were seeded at the Tissue Culture Plastic (TCP). All the experiments were performed in triplicate in 3 independed runs and statistically analysed using 2-way ANOVA. Results. MTT assay results showed a major rate of proliferation, after 72h of seeding of the MG63 cells on the Total Fill sealing material than MTA and Biodentin. These results were in accordance with those obtained by the FDA/PI double staining and the SEM micrographs. Conclusions. All tested sealing materials performed an optimal biocompatibility, although Total Fill prevailed due to the characteristics of its solid state. In particular Total Fill presented an improved consistency which allowed the cells to populate the entire mass of the material, maintaining their viability.

Abstract : ABSTRACT : Dengue estimate indicate 390 million dengue viral infections per year of which 96 million manifest clinically. About 3.9 billion people are at risk of infection with dengue viruses,70% of burden is shouldered by asia. Dengue is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virus,. virus belongs to family Flaviviridae. It has four serotypes. Dengue fever is transmitted by the bite of an Aedes mosquito infected with a dengue virus. . Illness range from mild asympatomatic to severe dengue haemorragic fever/dengue shock syndrome. In india,the first epidemic of dengue – like illness was recorded in Madras IN 1780 and the first virologically proved epidemic of dengue fever occurred in Calcutta. In estimated 400 million dengue infections occur worldwide each year, with about 96 million resulting in illness. Symptoms, which usually begin four to six days after infection and last for up to 10 days, Sometimes, symptoms are mild and can be mistaken for those of the flu or another viral infection. The symptoms may progress to massive bleeding,shock and death. People with weakened immune systems as well as those with a second or subsequent dengue infection are believed to be at greater risk for developing dengue hemorrhagic fever.
