Objective: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a benign inflammatory condition predominantly affecting women of reproductive age, particularly those with a history of breastfeeding. Although the precise etiology remains unknown, treatment strategies continue to be a subject of debate. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of intralesional steroid (ILS) injections with oral steroid (OS) therapy in managing IGM.

- The study investigates the occurrence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation in immunocompetent critically ill patients who have bacterial infections in their respiratory tract.
- Out of 34 patients, 79.4% experienced CMV reactivation, particularly those with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and sepsis, although the differences in CMV DNA levels weren't statistically significant.
- The findings suggest that CMV reactivation is linked to longer hospital stays and extended mechanical ventilation but does not correlate with increased mortality rates.
The clinical policy of the Emergency Medicine Association of Türkiye (EMAT) provides guidance on the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in emergency settings. TXA, an antifibrinolytic drug, is used to control bleeding by inhibiting plasminogen. Its applications have expanded from hemophilia and severe menstrual bleeding to include various forms of trauma and surgery-related bleeding.
