Mortality Factors in Crush Syndrome.

Background: Crush Syndrome is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following large-scale catastrophic earthquakes. Since there are no randomized controlled studies on Crush Syndrome, knowledge on this subject is limited to expert experience. The primary objective is to analyze the epidemiological and demographic characteristics, clinical outcomes, and mortality factors of earthquake victims after the Pazarcik and Elbistan earthquakes on February 6, 2023.

Malignant congenital orbital teratoma: Glioblastoma multiforme with primitive neuronal pattern and choroid plexus papilloma: A rare diagnosis at an unusual age.

Childhood orbital teratomas are usually congenital lesions that are most often present at birth with progressive, massive unilateral proptosis. During the routine controls of 27-year-old woman between 26-27 weeks of pregnancy her fetal ultrasonography (USG) revealed a mass in the eye of the fetus, and termination was recommended. The family refused the termination option and in the 37 week of pregnancy, vaginal delivery is performed in an external medical center.

An Early Warning System Using Machine Learning for the Detection of Intracranial Hematomas in the Emergency Trauma Setting.

Aim: To present an early warning system (EWS) that employs a supervised machine learning algorithm for the rapid detection of extra-axial hematomas (EAHs) in an emergency trauma setting.

Material And Methods: A total of 150 sets of cranial computed tomography (CT) scans were used in this study with a total of 11,025 images. Of the CTs, 75 were labeled as EAH, the remaining 75 were normal.

Effect of decompressive hemicraniectomy in patients with acute middle cerebral artery infarction.

Background/aim: We aimed to determine in which cases this procedure may be more effective based on the data of patients who underwent decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC).

Material And Methods: Overall, 47 patients who underwent DHC due to acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction between January 2014 and january 2019 were retrospectively investigated. These patients were divided into two groups: those who died after DHC (Group A) and those who survived DHC (Group B).

Treatment of Cavernous Sinus Hemangiomas with Gamma Knife Radiosurgery as a Primary and Sole Therapy.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) as the primary and only therapy for the treatment of cavernous sinus hemangiomas (CSH) and to report the tumor volume dynamics, course of symptoms, and complications after stereotactic radiosurgery.

Material And Methods: A total of 10 CSH patients were treated with GKRS using a median margin dose of 14.2Gy (range 13-16Gy).
