Objectives: This study aimed to identify predictors of sepsis in earthquake survivors who underwent either amputation or fasciotomy and to compare these two patient groups across many clinical outcomes, including sepsis.
Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 1,608 patients who presented to our hospital following the February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş earthquakes were evaluated between February 2023 and March 2023. Of these, 138 patients (65 males, 73 females; median age: 35 years; range, 18 to 74 years) who underwent either fasciotomy or amputation were included in the study.
Although genetic, environmental, autoimmune, and psychological factors are believed to play a role in the onset of alopecia areata (AA), the exact cause remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether there are differences in traumatic experiences, dissociative symptoms, and alexithymia levels between groups. Fifty eight patients diagnosed with AA, 58 individuals with dermatological diseases thought to have a low psychosomatic component, and 58 individuals not diagnosed with any chronic disease were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
- - GLP-1 receptor agonists are effective in treating obesity and type 2 diabetes, but their ability to reverse liver fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is still uncertain; survivodutide, a dual agonist targeting both glucagon and GLP-1 receptors, shows promise in addressing these issues.
- - This review analyzes the pharmacology, effectiveness, and safety of survodutide based on results from initial clinical trials, highlighting its potential benefits over traditional GLP-1 receptor agonists.
- - Expert opinions suggest that survodutide’s dual action may improve outcomes for MASH patients, offering manageable side effects and a more comprehensive treatment strategy as it moves toward phase
Article Synopsis
- The study compares macular vessel density (VD) in patients with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who underwent vitrectomy using either gas or silicone oil (SO) tamponade.
- Fifty patients participated, and results showed that both groups had significant improvements in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after surgery, but the gas tamponade group had better outcomes.
- The silicone oil group had lower VD in certain retinal layers, indicating possible toxic effects on macular perfusion, while gas tamponade appeared to preserve VD, suggesting a preference for gas tamponade in these cases.
Recently, a new inflammatory and prognostic marker called glucose/lymphocyte ratio (GLR) has been used in patients with coronary artery disease. In this study, we analyzed the correlation between GLR and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). The study included 341 patients with CCS who underwent coronary angiography and documented coronary stenosis of 50% or more in at least one major coronary artery and 437 individuals with coronary atherosclerosis between 1% and 50% or no coronary atherosclerosis (control group).
