Effect of standardized patient simulation with BCG vaccination on nursing students' skills, knowledge and satisfaction, and self-confidence: A randomized controlled study.

Aim: To examine the effect of standardised patient simulation training on nursing students' skills and knowledge in administering the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, as well as their satisfaction and self-confidence.

Background: The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine is administered by nurses to prevent tuberculosis. However, there have been reports of complications arising from inadequate knowledge and skills related to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine administration.

Factors Affecting Recurrence and Survival in Stage IIA Colon Cancer Patients.

Introduction: Our study delves into the intricate interplay of risk factors and the strategic selection of adjuvant therapy, scrutinizing their influence on recurrence and survival outcomes in stage IIA (T3N0M0) colon cancer patients.

Materials And Methods: The study examined the medical records of patients who underwent surgery for stage IIA colon cancer. Identification of stage IIA (pT3N0M0) colon cancer involved a comprehensive review of postoperative clinical records and histological reports.

Prognostic Value of Inflammation and Nutrition-Based Scores in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Objective: In studies conducted on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, many factors such as age, stage, weight loss, lymph node, and pleural involvement have been shown to affect survival. On the other hand, systemic inflammation plays a critical role in proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis. Inflammation and nutrition-based prognostic scores are reported to be associated with survival in patients with NSCLC.

Late-onset familial mediterranean fever: single-center experience and literature review.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary, autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent fever and serositis attacks. The disease onset occurs before 20 years of age in 90% of patients and rarely after the 4th decade. The aim of this study is to screen our FMF patient pool for patients with disease onset after age of 40 and to compare them to patients with early onset with regard to clinical and genetic features.

May dexpanthenol, platelet-rich plasma, and thymoquinone provide new hope to maintain liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy?

Background/aims: Complete liver regeneration may not always be possible after liver injuries and/or partial liver resection. The present study investigated the effects of dexpanthenol, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and thymoquinone on liver regeneration in rats after partial hepatectomy (PH).

Materials And Methods: A total of 34 Wistar albino rats, each weighing 250-280 g, were randomly separated into four groups.

Comparison of Fatal Injuries Resulting from Tractor and High Speed Motorcycle Accidents in Turkey: A Multicenter Study.

Aim: Injuries are among the main causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world, and effective initial triage of these patients can determine the thin line between death and life. Tractor accidents and related injuries are significant problems particularly in rural areas. However, major trauma classification systems do not include tractor accidents as a criterion for trauma team activation or transportation of the patients to a trauma center.
