Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation: The Strongest Predictor of In-Hospital Venous Thromboembolism Events among Patients Hospitalized for Trauma or Surgery.

Background: To investigate the power of inflammation/immune indices in-hospital deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and any venous thromboembolism (VTE) event (VTE: DVT + pulmonary embolism [PE]) that may occur after trauma or surgery and to identify the strongest predictors.

Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted between January 2020 and December 2022. A total of 216 patients with suspicion of DVT or PE during their hospital stay for trauma or surgery were included in the study.

The comparison of the short and mid-term results of endovascular interventions and bypass graft surgery in the treatment of patients with intermittent claudication complaints because of isolated femoropopliteal artery disease.

Background: Intermittent Claudication (IC) is exercise pain seen in lower extremity arterial diseases. If it is left untreated, it may be the initial sign of a process leading to amputation. In the present study, the purpose was to compare the postoperative early and mid-term results of the patients who were treated with endovascular methods and those who underwent bypass graft surgery in the treatment due to IC complaints because of isolated Femoropopliteal Arterial Disease.

Penetrating Heart Injury Repaired with Peripheral Cannulation: Case Report.

Heart injuries usually occur due to penetrating or blunt traumas. High mortality rates are seen in heart injuries, owing to firearms and cutting/piercing tools. Factors such as the degree of injury, its localization, and the length of time to reach the hospital influence mortality rates.
