Aim: This study aims to analyze the incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) retrospectively and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) infections, characteristics of patients with these infections, causative microorganisms, and mortality rates in a tertiary respiratory intensive care unit (ICU).
Material And Method: Between 01.01.
Purpose: Anthropometric parameters related with the periocular region (PR) have gained great importance with the optical technology used in the treatment of eye defects. They have also become important parameters that determine the limits of treatment in aesthetic surgery procedures in PR and the treatment of orbital diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of PR measurements with somatotype.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) use in mechanically ventilated ICU patients, examining indications, complications, and outcomes, analyzing 332 procedures performed on 178 patients over 18 months.
- The most common diagnoses were pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and lung malignancies, with the primary FOB purposes being bronchoalveolar lavage, secretion clearance, and guided tracheostomy.
- Complications were mostly mild, with hypoxemia being the most frequent, and predominant pathogens identified included non-albicans Candida, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; overall, FOB showed a low complication rate and is beneficial for patient management
Background: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) free flap is the gold standard procedure for autologous breast reconstruction. Although breast-related complications have been well described, donor-site complications and contributing patient risk factors are poorly understood.
Methods: We examined a multi-institutional, prospectively maintained database of patients undergoing DIEP free flap breast reconstruction between 2015 and 2020.
