A Comparison of Pain Scores in Dysmenorrheic Patients With or Without Dyspeptic Symptoms.

Unlabelled: Introductıon: Dysmenorrhea attacks may be accompanied by extragenital symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and leg pain and by emotional symptoms such as tension and irritability. Therefore, we think that dysmenorrheic symptoms may be more severe in patients with dyspeptic symptoms. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pain scores would differ between dysmenorrheic patients with or without dyspeptic symptoms.

Etiologies and delirium rates of elderly ED patients with acutely altered mental status: a multicenter prospective study.

Objectives: Altered mental status (AMS) is a challenging diagnosis in older patients and has a large range of etiologies. The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of such etiologies for physicians to be better aware of AMS backgrounds and hence improve outcomes and mortality rates.

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at 4 emergency departments.

The association between weather conditions and stroke admissions in Turkey.

Although several factors such as cigarette smoking, blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, physical inactivity and dietary factors have been well documented to increase the risk for stroke, there are conflicting data about the role of meteorological variables in the etiology of stroke. We conducted a retrospective study to investigate the association between weather patterns, including daily temperature, humidity, wind speed, and air pressure, and stroke admissions to the Emergency Department of Atatürk Training and Research Hospital in Ankara, Turkey, between January 2009 and April 2010. Generalized additive models with logistic link function were used to investigate the relationship between predictors and days with and without stroke admission at lags 0-4.
