Article Synopsis
- After laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, some older patients experience confusion called postoperative delirium, which this study wanted to understand better.
- The researchers tested 84 patients over 60 years old to see how their Mini-Cog scores (a simple brain test) and two anesthesia methods (sevoflurane and TIVA) affected their chances of getting delirium.
- They found that patients with low Mini-Cog scores had a higher risk of confusion after surgery, and those who received sevoflurane were more likely to experience delirium compared to those who had TIVA.
Objectives: To reveal the relationship between clinical and environmental isolates, analyzing both phenotypic and molecular aspects, in an Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) epidemic, and to use the epidemiological data to determine the source of the epidemic, to identify potential risk factors, and inform the effort to prevent and manage future epidemics.
Methods: Acinetobacter baumannii was isolated from 5 clinical samples in Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, for a week period.
Introduction: Bloodstream infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Blood cultures and other laboratory tests are used for diagnosis. Among these tests, the mean neutrophil volume (MNV) value is reported as a potential indicator that supports the diagnosis of sepsis.

Methods: Seventy patients over the age of 60 with ASA III or IV physical status were randomly allocated to two groups: In the PCSNB group, ultrasound-guided psoas compartment block was performed with modified Winnie technique using 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine with 1:200.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory process associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular risk factors. sCD40L has been suggested to have a possible role in the pathogenesis, of psoriasis and is known to be associated with inflammation, atherogenesis and cardiovascular events. This study investigated cardiovascular risk factors (sCD40L and homocysteine) as well as subclinical atherosclerosis indicators in psoriatic patients and control subjects.
