Background: It is important to investigate the factors that may delay the diagnosis and treatment process of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate whether in-hospital mortality increased in patients who presented to the emergency department out-of-hours and underwent thrombectomy.
Methods: A total of 59 patients who applied to the emergency department between January 1, 2018 and November 1, 2021 and underwent thrombectomy due to ischemic stroke were included in the study.

Objective: Scabies infestation is a major parasitic disease affecting both human and animal health worldwide. This study aimed to determine the distribution of scabies infestation in stray dogs in Bursa province.
Methods: The study material was obtained from stray dogs suspected of mange kept in a municipal shelter in Bursa between June 2020 and February 2022.
Background: Due to the high rate of geriatric patient visits, scoring systems are needed to predict increasing mortality rates.
Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the in-hospital mortality prediction power of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) and the Laboratory Data Decision Tree Early Warning Score (LDT-EWS), which consists of frequently performed laboratory parameters.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 651 geriatric patients who visited the emergency department (ED), were not discharged on the same day from ED, and were hospitalized.
Background: Hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have higher mortality rates. Parameters to predict mortality are needed. Therefore, we investigated the power of procalcitonin/albumin ratio (PAR) and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) to predict in-hospital mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
