Objective: We aimed to elucidate the histopathological pre-diagnosis of cranial gliomas with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in gliomas.
Method: A total of 82 glioma patients were enrolled to our study. Pre-operative conventional MRI images (non-contrast T1/T2/flair/contrast-enhanced T1) and advanced MRI images (DAG and ADC mapping, MRI spectroscopy and perfusion MRI [PMRI]) were analyzed.

Purpose: The present study compares the most frequently used the CATCH, PECARN, and CHALICE clinical decision protocols with an aim to evaluate their effectiveness from the population perspective.
Methods: This study included all patients under 18 years of age presenting with blunt head trauma and a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13 and higher for whom the attending physician decided to order head computed tomography scans, and the legal representative provided an informed consent for inclusion in the study. The PECARN, CATCH, and CHALICE clinical decision rules were applied to the participating patients, and the data for each of the three international clinical decision rules were recorded.

Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
September 2021
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of boric acid (BA) injections on the healing of cartilage defects in rabbit knees.
- Nine female New Zealand White rabbits were used, with one knee receiving BA and the other serving as a control, and defects were created in the cartilage to assess healing.
- Results showed significant improvement in defect repair and healing in the BA group compared to the control, suggesting that BA could be a promising treatment for cartilage injuries in orthopedics.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of calcium phosphate cementing in the surgical treatment of Sanders type II and III calcaneal fractures using screw fixation with sinus tarsi approach.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 85 feet of 84 patients (74 males, 10 females; mean age 43 [17-61] years) in whom screw fixation was performed using the sinus tarsi approach for Sanders type II or III calcaneal fractures were included. The mean follow-up was 28 (14-39) months.
