Reconnaissance of 2020 M 7.0 Samos Island (Aegean Sea) earthquake.

The Samos Island (Aegean Sea) Earthquake occurred on 30 October 2020. It produced a tsunami that impacted coastal communities, ground shaking that was locally amplified in some areas and that led to collapse of structures with 118 fatalities in both Greece and Turkey, and wide-ranging geotechnical effects including rockfalls, landsliding, and liquefaction. As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the reconnaissance of this event did not involve the deployment of international teams, as would be typical for an event of this size.

The use of the SPT-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering evaluation methodology in engineering hazard assessments.

Probabilistic and deterministic seismic soil liquefaction triggering methodologies are proposed in Cetin et al. [1]. This manuscript: i) presents the protocols, which need to be followed for the correct use of this methodology for forward engineering (design) assessments, ii) guides the engineers through the procedure, and iii) discusses the "tricks" alongside the protocol.

Dataset on SPT-based seismic soil liquefaction.

This data article provides a summary of seismic soil liquefaction triggering and non-triggering case histories, which were compiled, screened for data completeness and quality, and then processed for the development of triggering relationships proposed in "SPT-based probabilistic and deterministic assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering hazard" [1]. The database is composed of 113 liquefaction, 95 non-liquefaction, and 2 marginal liquefaction case histories, from seismic events with moment magnitude M values varying in the range of 5.9 to 8.

[Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in major orthopaedic surgery: A multicenter, prospective, observational study].

Objectives: We investigated risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE), prophylaxis measures employed, and incidence of symptomatic deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery (MOS).

Methods: An open, multicenter, prospective, observational study was conducted in 21 medical centers, comprising 899 patients. Of these, 316 patients (35.

Examination of developmental models of occupational burnout using burnout profiles of nurses.

Aim: This paper is a report of a study to identify the occupational burnout profiles of a sample of nurses in Turkey and to examine alternative developmental models of burnout based on these profiles.

Background: Previous findings on causal links between components of occupational burnout have largely been inconclusive. There are divergent models of inter-temporal ordering of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment, which are the three dimensions of burnout.

Hip arthroplasty for ochronosis.

Alkaptonuria is a metabolic disorder in which homogentisic acid oxidase is absent. Therefore, homogentisic acid accumulates in cartilage and connective tissues. We can diagnose ochronotic arthropathy, a manifestation of long standing alkaptonuria, through careful radiological, physical, and laboratory examination.

Anterior tibial compartment syndrome due to the pyomyositis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. A case report.

Anterior tibial compartment syndrome was developed due to pyomyositis in a 33-year-old male patient with rheumatoid arthritis while receiving steroid therapy during the follow-up period. The preoperative physical examination, laboratory findings, MRI images, intraoperative observation and postoperative histopathological examinations confirmed the association with pyomyositis. The surgical drainage and antibiotic treatment were effective, and in the follow-up period, neuromuscular dysfunctions disappeared completely within 6 months.

The effect of ultrasound on the healing of muscle-pediculated bone graft in spinal fusion.

Study Design: A rabbit model of posterolateral intertransverse process spine arthrodesis with and without the application of low-intensity ultrasound was used.

Objective: To determine the effects of low-intensity ultrasound on the healing of muscle-pediculated bone graft.

Summary Of Background Data: Earlier animal and clinical studies demonstrated the efficacy of low-intensity ultrasound stimulation in the acceleration of osteogenesis and fracture healing.
