Objective: The aim of this study was to review the chapters related to orthopedic surgery in Dr. Orhan Abdi (Kurtaran)'s book Ameliyât-ı Cerrâhiye [Operative Surgery] published in 1913 and to examine Orhan Abdi Bey's biography to explore the roots of orthopedic education in Turkey through Orhan Abdi Bey's tenure in university.
Methods: Dr. Orhan Abdi Bey's biography and tenure in medical school were reviewed. Chapters related to orthopedic surgery in Ameliyât-ı Cerrâhiye were scanned and compared to practices of the present-day. Sections of the book were translated to provide examples of its content.
Results: Dr. Orhan Abdi Bey received surgical training, consisting mainly of orthopedic surgery and taught the first systematic orthopedic surgery classes in the medical school where he worked for 28 years before being dismissed with the 1933 University Reform. Topics related to orthopedic surgery in Ameliyât-ı Cerrâhiye was classified under three headings; amputations and disarticulations, arthrotomies, and bone and tendon operations. Surgical techniques, including corrective osteotomies, tenoplasties, and tendon transfers, were explained in detail and many are still in use today.
Conclusion: It is possible to obtain information about the orthopedic practices of the period by investigating the scientific studies of the physicians of the same period. Orhan Abdi Kurtaran and his book Ameliyât-ı Cerrâhiye have contributed to the training of many physicians for many years and many of the orthopedic interventions described in the book are still in use today.

: The role of the gut microbiome in the development and progression of many diseases has received increased attention in recent years. Boron, a trace mineral found in dietary sources, has attracted interest due to its unique electron depletion and coordination characteristics in chemistry, as well as its potential role in modulating the gut microbiota. This study investigates the effects of inorganic boron derivatives on the gut microbiota of mice.

- The study aimed to create a new prognostic model to estimate the risk of pulmonary complications after elective surgery, which is the leading cause of post-surgery death.
- Data from a large international cohort of over 86,000 patients was used, applying machine learning techniques to identify risk factors for complications like pneumonia and respiratory distress.
- The model, named the GSU-Pulmonary Score, was validated with additional cohorts and is available as an online tool to assist in patient care and resource management, especially important during pandemic recovery.
Death following pulmonary complications of surgery before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Background: This study aimed to determine the impact of pulmonary complications on death after surgery both before and during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic.
Methods: This was a patient-level, comparative analysis of two, international prospective cohort studies: one before the pandemic (January-October 2019) and the second during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (local emergence of COVID-19 up to 19 April 2020). Both included patients undergoing elective resection of an intra-abdominal cancer with curative intent across five surgical oncology disciplines.
