Differences in the rates of admission and major orthopedic surgery care between Turkish and displaced children injured in a major earthquake.

Background: The burden of displacement makes child refugees, asylum seekers, and migrant children less resistant to medical problems. On February 6, 2023, the southeast and the southcentral regions of Türkiye were struck by two sequential large earthquakes. The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of musculoskeletal injuries and the initial orthopedic surgery data resulting from the earthquake and compare the differences between Turkish and displaced children, particularly those who underwent major musculoskeletal interventions at the four state hospitals of the Adana metropolitan region.

Do we need a guideline for all: a qualitative study on the experiences of male athletes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Background: Considering the low rate of qualitative studies on athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), aiming to access in-depth data, we thought that the utilization of the qualitative method would allow us to collect the appropriate and sufficient data to yield novel findings and achieve sound conclusions. The study's aim was to investigate anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury experience processes in athletes who had undergone isolated ACLR, reveal the clinically related milestones, and highlight the necessary gaps.

Methods: Semi-structured interview techniques, in-depth follow-up questions, and thematic analysis were used to explore the experiences of participants with isolated ACL injuries 1-3 years after surgical treatment.

Combined effects of nutritional status on long-term mortality in patients with non-st segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of controlling nutritional status (CONUT) index, geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) scores in predicting the long-term prognosis of patients with non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: A total of 915 patients with NSTEMI (female: 48.4%; mean age: 73.

Different chest CT scoring systems in patients with COVID-19: could baseline CT be a helpful tool in predicting survival in patients with matched ages and co-morbid conditions?

Background: Computed tomography (CT) gives an idea about the prognosis in patients with COVID-19 lung infiltration.

Purpose: To evaluate the success rates of various scoring methods utilized in order to predict survival periods, on the basis of the imaging findings of COVID-19. Another purpose, on the other hand, was to evaluate the agreements among the evaluating radiologists.
