Predictive Significance of Laboratory Tests in Bacteremic Brucellosis.

Background: Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infections. Although culture is the gold standard diagnostic method, bacterial growth in blood cultures may not always occur due to various factors. We aimed to investigate demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings that may have predictive significance for bacteremia in brucellosis.

Investigation of hematologic findings related to brucellosis in Anatolian region.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of hematologic findings and the relationship between hemogram parameters and brucellosis stages in patients.

Methods: This multi-center study included patients older than 16 years of age who were followed up with a diagnosis of brucellosis. Patients' results, including white blood cell, hemoglobin, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, mean platelet volume, platelet and eosinophil counts were analyzed at the initial diagnosis.

Comparison of the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block and the genicular nerve block in primary total knee arthroplasty: A prospective randomized trial.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of genicular block and interspace between the popliteal artery and the posterior capsule (IPACK) block in the reduction of postoperative pain, the need for rescue analgesics, and the effects on a range of motion (ROM) in patients with TKA.

Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study was carried out between February and May 2023. Based on the block method, 60 participants were divided into three equal groups.

TIBIOCALCANEAL ARTHRODESIS: A COMPARISON OF ANTERIOR APPROACH AND TRANSFIBULAR APPROACH.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiologic results and complications of patients who underwent ankle arthrodesis performed by the transfibular approach and anterior approach in end-stage ankle osteoarthritis.

Methods: Between 2016 and 2022, 41 patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria for this retrospective comparative analysis were included. Of them, 19 patients are included in the anterior approach group and 22 patients are included in the transfibular approach group.

Testicular involvement of Brucellosis: A 10-year, multicentre study.

Introduction: The genito-urinary system is one of the most common areas of involvement in brucellosis. To present the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of patients with testicular involvement associated with brucellosis, together with the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Methodology: Patients followed up for brucellosis-related testicular involvement between January 2012 and November 2022 were included in the study.
