Correlation of osteopontin hormone with TIMI score and cardiac markers in patients with acute coronary syndrome presenting with chest pain.

Aim: Rapid evaluation of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) attending the emergency service under emergency room conditions and using appropriate risk scoring would improve treatment success. Calcium levels accumulate in the tissue in people with coronary artery disease and this has been found to correlate with osteopontin levels in some studies. It is predicted that osteopontin level could be used as a biomarker to detect coronary artery calcification.

Pain, Sleep Disturbance and Smoking Among Patients with Covid-19 Presenting to the Emergency Department.

Unlabelled: AİM: The study aimed to determine the pain, sleep disturbance, and smoking among patients with Covid-19 who were presented to emergency departments.

Method: This descriptive research was conducted between November 2020 and December 2021. The study population comprised 400 patients with COVID-19 who were presented to emergency departments at Ataturk University Research Hospital and Erzurum City Hospital and who agreed to participate in the study.

The relationship between individuals' use of complementary and alternative medicine during the pandemic in Turkey and their attitudes towards perceived COVID-19 risk.

Introduction: The perceived COVID-19 risk may lead to the use of various complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities to reduce the potential risks of this disease. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between individuals' use of complementary and alternative medicine during the pandemic in Turkey and their attitudes towards perceived COVID-19 risk.

Methods: The study was conducted in Turkey between November 2021 and March 2022 and 1003 individuals voluntarily participated.

Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of Jessa Atrial Fibrillation Knowledge Questionnaire (JAKQ).

Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arhythmia in clinical practice and constitutes one-third of the hospitalizations related to cardiac dysrhythmia. Furthermore, it is the most common reason for hospital admissions involving dysrhythmia complaints and is associated with the decrease in quality of life, functional capacity, cardiac performance, and lifespan.

Materials And Methods: This methodological study, which aims to assess the validity and reliability of the JAKQ, was conducted with patients (n = 175) who were admitted to the emergency clinic of Atatürk University Research Hospital between December 2016 and June 2018 and who were diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and met the inclusion criteria.

Analysis of Incidentally Diagnosed Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 at the Emergency Department: Single-Center Clinical Experience.

Objective: Asymptomatic patients with coronavirus disease 2019 can present with signs of various diseases to hospitals. We aimed to present patients who presented to the emergency department without any coronavirus disease 2019 symptoms and were incidentally diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 in addition to the diagnosis related to their complaints on presentation.

Materials And Methods: The study included patients presented to the emergency department of a hospital in Erzurum (Turkey) with non-coronavirus disease 2019 symptoms and were incidentally diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 on the basis of their chest computed tomography findings.

Sexual dysfunction in patients after double-J catheterisation: A cross-sectional, prospective study.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine sexual dysfunction in patients after double-J catheterisation.

Materials And Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study was conducted in a research and training hospital from June 2020 to February 2021. The data were collected from patients who visited the emergency clinic and were hospitalised in the urology clinic because of renal calculi.

The compliance of emergency healthcare personnel with isolation precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional questionnaire study.

Objectives: Isolation precautions are very important for emergency personnel faced with this high risk. This is cross-sectional study carried out to determine the compliance of emergency healthcare personnel with isolation precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: The study was carried out in the Emergency Services department of Erzurum Atatürk University and Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital from May 2020 to June 2020.

The effects of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on the anxiety and sleep quality of patients with COVID-19: A randomized controlled study.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effects of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on the anxiety and sleep quality of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an experimental study. Its data were collected in the infectious diseases clinic of a research hospital from May to August, 2020.

Ultra-low-dose computed tomography and its utility in wrist trauma in the emergency department.

Background: The use and frequency of computed tomography (CT) are increasing day by day in emergency departments (ED). This increases the amount of radiation exposed.

Purpose: To evaluate the image quality obtained by ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) in patients with suspected wrist fractures in the ED and to investigate whether it is an alternative to standard-dose CT (SDCT).

The effectiveness of intradermal sterile water injection for low back pain in the emergency department: A prospective, randomized controlled study.

Aim: Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal complaint among emergency department (ED) admissions. In this study, it was aimed to compare the effectiveness of systemic treatment with intradermal sterile water injection (ISWI) treatment protocol combined with systemic therapy in patients with LBP of unclear chronicity.

Methods: A prospective randomized, unblinded, controlled clinical study was conducted on patients admitted to the ED for LBP of unclear chronicity.

Ranunculus arvensis, a plant that is a member of Ranunculaceae family, generally used for local treatment of joint pain, muscle pain, burns, lacerations, edema, abscess drainage, hemorrhoids, and warts among the population. In this case report, we presented three patients who developed chemical skin burns after using R. arvensis plant locally for knee pain.
