Article Synopsis
- A study looked at how often people go to the emergency department (ED) for bites and stings from bugs and other creepy crawlies.
- Out of 954 patients, most were bitten by bees, ticks, or scorpions, with the highest visits happening in summer.
- The total cost for treating these cases was over $12,000, and understanding these cases could help reduce how often people get bitten in the future.
Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the possible relationship between the anatomical location of the PFF (head-neck fractures) and the demographic features, comorbidities, and risk factors of elderly patients.
Methods: 233 patients aged 65 years and over, who were admitted to the emergency department with a diagnosis of proximal femur fracture were included in this study.
Results: Most patients (59.
Background . We investigated the demographic, aetiological and clinical characteristics of patients who presented to the emergency department and had severe hyponatraemia. Methods .

Material And Methods: A total of 60 rats were divided into six groups: control, isotonic saline-treated, 7.5% NaCl-treated (hypertonic saline), L-arginine-treated (100 mg/kg), saline + L-arginine-treated and 7.
Introduction: Tissue damage, inflammatory response, and hematologic abnormalities may occur in snakebite envenomation. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive ability of platelet distribution width (PDW) and platelet distribution width to lymphocyte ratio (PDWLR) in the severity and outcome of envenomation in patients with snakebites in the emergency department (ED).
Methods: All adult patients admitted to the ED after a snakebite were retrospectively evaluated.
Objectives: To determine the features of patients applying to the emergency department (ED) with seizures and the factors affecting the frequency of admission.
Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective, cross-sectional study. The demographic and clinical characteristics, admission frequencies, diagnostic tests (laboratory and imaging methods) of the patients who were older than 18 years old and admitted to the ED between January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2017 with seizures were analyzed.
Background: Upper gastrointestinal system (GIS) bleeding is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity. The predictive values of pre-endoscopic Rockall score (PERS), full Rockall score (FRS), Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS), pre-endoscopic Baylor score (PEBS), and full Baylor score (FBS) to predict bleeding at follow-up, endoscopic therapy, blood transfusion requirement, and death are investigated in our study.
Methods: This study was retrospectively conducted in patients admitted to emergency department with upper GIS bleeding.
Allergic reactions to Hymenoptera stings in Turkish school children.
Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)
September 2016
Background: Reported prevalence of the insect stings and rates of allergic reactions vary among studies. The aim of the present study was to carry out the first epidemiological study on the prevalence of Hymenoptera allergy among school children in Izmir, Turkey.
Methods: We planned to reach 6100 children, assuming the frequency of allergic reactions to Hymenoptera stings as 20%.
