Article Synopsis
- Appendicitis is a common surgical emergency, but there's ongoing concern about the rate of unnecessary surgeries and uncertainty in diagnosis, prompting this study to evaluate existing risk prediction models for appendicitis.
- The research involved 3,358 adult patients with right iliac fossa pain from 84 centers, focusing on data like clinical findings, diagnostic tests, and rates of unnecessary surgeries, using various risk scoring systems to analyze effectiveness.
- Results showed that while the Adult Appendicitis Score performed best overall, the RIPASA score was more effective in men; both scoring systems demonstrated strong diagnostic capabilities, but female patients had higher rates of negative appendicectomy and lower surgery rates compared to males.
Background/purpose: It is known that COVID-19 patients show many clinical oral symptoms due to the immunological mechanisms triggered by the virus. Aim of this study is to analyze the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2, and to evaluate the oral health status of hospitalized patients.
Materials And Methods: 160 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by SARS-CoV-2-specific RT-PCR testing and 160 healthy volunteers (HI) with similar age, gender and systemic status were included to compare the bio-chemical and oral manifestations.
Article Synopsis
- Inadequate closure of the thyroglossal tract can lead to the development of a thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC), which is often benign but can rarely be malignant.
- A 39-year-old woman presented with a neck mass that exhibited signs of malignancy during screening, leading to a fine needle aspiration biopsy that did not yield conclusive results.
- Following excision of the cyst using the Sistrunk procedure, the frozen examination revealed primary papillary carcinoma, necessitating a total thyroidectomy to ensure complete removal of cancerous tissue.
Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates are still very high among patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). However, mortality rates secondary to morbidities that are detected early and well-managed postoperatively are lower among patients undergoing PD. Since early detection of complications plays a very important role in the management of these patients, many ongoing studies are being conducted on this subject.
