Comparison of Albumin and Fresh Frozen Plasma as Colloid Therapy in Patients With Major Burns.

Background: Burn injuries are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, and burn patients have higher chances of recovery if they are treated with effective fluid and colloid management. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and albumin suspension used as a colloid treatment agent are very useful for the treatment of severe burns.

Methods: This retrospective clinical trial was conducted at the Numune Education and Research Hospital Burn Center, Ankara, Turkey.

Seasonal effects on the mechanisms of burn injuries.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate seasonal effects on the mechanisms of burn injuries in patients requiring hospitalization.

Material And Methods: A retrospective evaluation was made using the information of 419 hospitalized burns patients, including demographic data, degree and percentage of burn injury, cause and mechanism of burn injury, morbidity and mortality. Burn mechanisms were grouped as thermal burns (flame, boiling liquid, contact), chemical burns and electrical burns.

Endoscopy in surgery.

In the last 20 years, there have been important developments in endoscopy. Initially, endoscopy was developed and used as a diagnostic tool. As new technology developed, these devices also became the basis for therapeutic maneuvers.

General Surgery Operating Room Practice in Patients with COVID-19.

The virus COVID-19, which emerged in China in December 2019, was announced by the World Health Organization as a pandemic in January 2020. It is known that infection is not severe and may even progress without symptoms in patients who have come into contact with COVID-19. Although various organizations have been informed about how to take measures to protect the patient and the surgeon in case of diseases requiring urgent or elective surgery in people infected with COVID-19 or in cases with high suspicion, there is still no definite judgment between patients, physicians and health authorities.

Evaluation of spatio-temporal gait parameters and gait symmetry in diabetic polyneuropathic patients with burn injury: A pilot study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of burn injury on spatio-temporal gait parameters and gait symmetry in individuals with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN)-related lower extremity burn injury.

Methods: Demographic information and the physical examinations of the lower extremities of 14 patients with unilateral lower extremity burn injury due to DPN (DPN) and 14 uninjured patients with DPN (DPN) were recorded. The GAITRite computerized gait analysis system was used to evaluate the spatio-temporal parameters of gait.

Augmentation of arterial blood velocity with electrostimulation in patients with critical limb ischemia unsuitable for revascularization.

Aim This pilot study aimed to reveal whether combination of electrostimulation with iloprost treatment achieves better results compared to iloprost alone in patients with critical limb ischemia. Material and methods Patients were randomized into Group 1 ( n = 11, mean age: 65.3 ± 4.

Chemopreventive effects of hydatid disease on experimental breast cancer.

Breast cancer is one of the most common and letal cancers in all over the world. Since there have been significant improvements in treatment of breast cancer, there is still a big need for alternative approaches. In this study, we aimed to investigate protective role of hydatid disease against breast cancer.
