Performance of AI-powered chatbots in diagnosing acute pulmonary thromboembolism from given clinical vignettes.

Background: Chatbots hold great potential to serve as support tool in diagnosis and clinical decision process. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of chatbots in diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE). Furthermore, we assessed their performance in determining the PE severity.

The Relationship between Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratios with Nutritional Status, Risk of Nutritional Indices, Prognostic Nutritional Indices and Morbidity in Patients with Ischemic Stroke.

In recent years, whole blood parameters and derivatives have been used as prognostic criteria in the course of various diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between parameters such as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, nutritional risk index (NRI) and immunonutrition status and disease activity in patients with ischemic stroke of the small-vessel, large-vessel and other etiologies. We retrospectively evaluated the records of 1454 consecutive ischemic stroke patients hospitalized in the emergency department of Gaziosmanpasa Education and Research Hospital from 2019 to 2023.

Association Between Serum Irisin Levels and ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background: An acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious cardiovascular condition with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Irisin is adipomyokine that is associated with various health conditions. In post-STEMI, elevated serum irisin levels are associated with more adverse cardiovascular events.

Predictors of mortality in patients less than 50 years old with coronavirus disease 2019: a multicenter experience in Istanbul.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to identify predictors of mortality in young adult patients with coronavirus disease 2019 and to assess the link between blood type and mortality in those patients.

Methods: This multicenter retrospective study, which was conducted in seven training and research hospitals in Istanbul, involved young adults who aged ≥18 and <50 years and hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019.

Results: Among 1,120 patients, confusion at admission (p<0.

Antibody responses after two doses of CoronaVac of the participants with or without the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Background: CoronaVac, an inactivated whole-virion vaccine against COVID-19, has been shown to be safe with acceptable antibody responses by various clinical trials.

Aims: The objective was to investigate the post-vaccination antibody levels of both symptomatic and asymptomatic healthcare workers with or without the diagnosis of COVID-19 in an emergency department (ED) of a hospital serving as a pandemic hospital.

Methods: This single-centred, prospective study was conducted on 86 participants who were working as nurse or doctor in the ED.

Relation of a novel fibrosis marker and post-myocardial infarction left ventricular ejection fraction in revascularized patients.

To investigate the relationship between post-myocardial infarction (MI) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fibrosis marker HE-4 in primarily revascularized patients with ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI). In 94 consecutive STEMI patients (median age 57 [IQR: 50-69] years; 77.7% male), HE-4 values were measured at hospital admission and 4 days after STEMI.

Analysis of the Patients Who Admitted To A Turkish Emergency Department During COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background And Aim: In this study, it was aimed to review patients who presented to a Turkish emergency department (ED) with fever and at least one symptom and finding of acute respiratory infection (cough, shortness of breath) in Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Education and Research Hospital Tertiary Medical Care Center during COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This retrospective, descriptive, observational study included patients presented between March 10, 2020 and April 25, 2020. The patients were classified into two groups according to RT-PCR test result: RT-PCR (+) and RT-PCR (-).

Role of H-FABP values in determining the etiologic factors of the cardiac injuries.

Introduction: Cardiac injury resulting from blunt thoracic trauma is a frequent clinical occurrence which is difficult to diagnose. Our purpose in this study was to research whether H-FABP, which is a new marker for the diagnosis of cardiac injury, can be used in this patient group.

Methods: 50 patients with blunt thoracic injury who were admitted to our emergency service within a period of 8 months and 50 cases as controls were included in our study.

Bedside heart type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP): Is an early predictive marker of cardiac syncope.

Objective: To determine the value of bedside heart-type fatty acid binding protein in diagnosis of cardiac syncope in patients presenting with syncope or presyncope.

Methods: The prospective study was conducted at Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey, between September 1, 2010, and January 1, 2011, and comprised patients aged over 18 years who presented with syncope or presyncope. Patients presenting to emergency department within 4 hours of syncope or presyncope underwent a bedside heart-type fatty acid binding protein test measurement.

Analysis and injury paterns of walnut tree falls in central anatolia of turkey.

Introduction: Falls are the second most common cause of injury-associated mortality worldwide. This study aimed to analysis the injuries caused by falls from walnut tree and assess their mortality and morbidity risk.

Methods: This is a retrospective hospital-based study of patients presenting to emergency department (ED) of Ahi Evran Univercity between September and October 2012.

Comparison of the Canadian CT head rule and the new orleans criteria in patients with minor head injury.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the New Orleans Criteria and the New Orleans Criteria according to their diagnostic performance in patients with mild head injury.
