Prognostic relationship between high sensitivity troponin I level, hematoma volume and glasgow coma score in patients diagnosed with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

Background: Intracranial hemorrhages is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and there is still no effective biomarker to predict prognosis.

Aim: We aimed to determine the effectiveness of high sensitive troponin I (hs-cTn-I) levels to predict the prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) by comparing Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) and hematoma volume with hs-cTn-I levels.

Methods: This study was planned as a retrospective observational study.

Effect of exposure to violence on the development of burnoutsyndrome in ambulance staff.

Background/aim: The aim of this study is to determine the condition of ambulance staff (AS) who have been exposed to any kind of violence and to predict risk of development of burnout syndrome.

Materials And Methods: Our study was performed with 120 AS working for the Kırıkkale Ambulance Services. During the research, questionnaires collecting descriptive information and the extent of violence to which the AS were exposed were administered; participants were asked to fill out the questionnaire themselves.

Protective effect of hypothermia in a blunt thoracic trauma and hemorrhagic shock model.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of volume-controlled hemorrhage and hypothermia on rats with blunt chest trauma, evaluating bacterial translocation (BT), lung tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) levels, and erythrocyte deformability (ED).

Methods: In our study, 10 animals each were included in 6 groups. Groups were as follows: a group with blunt chest trauma only (Group T), a group with hemorrhage only (Group H), a normothermic group with comorbidity of trauma and hemorrhage (Group NT), a mild hypothermic group with trauma and hemorrhage (Group MH), a moderate hypothermic group with trauma and hemorrhage (Group MoH), and a control group (Group C).

Characteristics of patients admitted to the emergency department due to tick bite.

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease endemic in Turkey since 2002. Çorum is one of the leading five cities in Turkey in which CCHF disease is seen most. We studied characteristics of the patients with tick bites in our emergency department (ED) and determined the fatality rate of the disease in city of Çorum for the first time.
