July 2024
Background: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the primary cause of acute abdomen in patients presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Limited studies have explored the relationship between serum hepcidin levels and AA. This study aimed to measure serum hepcidin levels in patients undergoing surgery with a preliminary diagnosis of AA and to assess whether these levels can serve as a biochemical marker for diagnosing AA.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
February 2023
Objectives: Stroke is a frequently encountered life-threatening medical condition in emergency departments (EDs). Despite all worldwide efforts, a reliable circulating biomarker has not been identified yet. This study investigates the diagnostic and prognostic value of neurogranin (Ng) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Material And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 34 emergency department healthcare personnel (emergency group [EG]) and 35 healthcare personnel working in other departments (non-emergency group [NEG]) and was conducted between November 10, 2019 and March 1, 2020. All participants were administered the following questionnaires: work-related strain inventory (WRSI), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), Berlin questionnaire, insomnia severity index (ISI), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Beck depression inventory (BDI), and Beck anxiety inventory (BAI).
Article Synopsis
- * JZL184 treatment resulted in improved ovarian health indicators, including increased hormone levels, higher primordial follicle counts, and reduced histopathological damage, while also decreasing oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in the ovaries.
- * The findings suggest JZL184 could be a promising new treatment option to protect against ovarian damage caused by IRI, acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
Objectives/hypothesis: The aims of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic test features of bedside ultrasonography in pediatric patients with nasal trauma and to investigate whether it is a preferable alternative method to conventional radiography (CR).
Study Design: Cross-sectional prospective study.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted from March 1, 2019, through November 1, 2019.
Evaluation of Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio in blunt chest trauma patients.
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
July 2020
Background: After blunt chest trauma, life-threatening arrhythmias may occur in the early post-injury period, as well as a few days after the injury. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of arrhythmias in blunt chest trauma patients using Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio.
Methods: In this study, patients who applied to the emergency department due to blunt chest trauma were examined prospectively.
Kounis Syndrome is the development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) because of allergic reactions; allergens, such as foods, insect venom, iodine contrast agent or drugs can cause this syndrome. Hirudotherapy (leech therapy) is increasingly used as a useful therapeutic option in a variety of medical and surgical procedures, and potential complications related to this therapy include Aeromonas species infections, bleeding, anemia and allergic reactions. Here, we present a patient diagnosed as Type 1 Kounis Syndrome after using hirudotherapy for her knee aches.

Then this syndrome was named as Swyer- James-Macleod syndrome (SJMS), and this syndrome includes a smaller or normal sized unilateral hyperlucent lung.

- ONSD (optic nerve sheath diameter) is a technique used to indirectly measure increased intracranial pressure (ICP), especially in patients with cerebrovascular diseases (CVD).
- The study reviewed patients over 18 who showed stroke symptoms, categorizing them into four groups based on the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project classification to analyze the relationship between their ONSD and ICP.
- Results indicated significant differences in optic nerve sheath diameters between stroke patients and a control group, with the highest measurements found in those with Total Anterior Circulation Infarction (TACI), suggesting that early ONSD measurement can help in diagnosing rising ICP and potentially reduce mortality and morbidity.
Objective: To determine the differences between the factors such as return of spontaneous circulation positivity, duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and cardiac rhythm at first arrival affecting neurological outcomes in cardiac-arrest cases.
Methods: This study was conducted at the Malatya State Hospital, Malatya, Turkey, from January to December 2014, and comprised patients who had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Patients were divided into two groups; in-hospital cardiac arrest and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
