Investigation of some changes and clonal relationship in enterococci isolates due to relocation of a hospital.

Objectives: To investigate the isolation rates, antimicrobial resistance rates, minimum inhibitory concentration values of antimicrobial agents, and clonal relationships of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faeciumdue to the relocation of a hospital to a newly constructed building.

Methods: The comparative, prospective study was conducted at adult general intensive care units of the Mus State Hospital, Mus, Turkey, in two phases; before the relocation from January 25 to December 1, 2014, and after the relocation from February 10 to May 24, 2015. Rectal swab samples were collected 72 hours post-hospitalisation.

C-reactive protein to albumin ratio may predict in-hospital mortality in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction.

The authors investigated the value of novel inflammatory markers, systemic immune-inflammation index and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR), to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). A total of 308 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention because of NSTEMI were retrospectively included in the study. Killip classification, Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction score, SYNTAX score, and CAR and systemic immune-inflammation index values were calculated.

The use of calprotectin and other inflammatory parameters in the investigation of pseudoexfoliation syndrome concomitant glaucoma and systemic diseases.

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the value of calprotectin and other inflammatory parameters in patients with glaucoma and systemic diseases accompanying pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX-S).

Methods: This prospective study included 45 PEX-S patients and 45 non-PEX control patients. Patients were investigated for the presence of glaucoma, cardiovascular disease (CVD), ischemic brain disease (IBD), Alzheimer's disease, and neurosensory hearing loss (NSHL).

Evaluation of Orthopaedics and Traumatology Patients Referred From a Tertiary Hospital.

Background This study aims to determine the rate of interhospital transfer, transfer diagnoses, where they were referred, and the reasons for the transfer of patients who presented to the emergency department and requested orthopaedic and traumatology consultations and to evaluate measures that may be effective in reducing the number of referrals for a more effective health service provision as a result of this information. Material and methods In this descriptive study, 59 patients were transferred to the emergency department of our hospital between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2022, for whom orthopaedic and traumatology consultations were requested and for whom the orthopaedic physician requested transfer (training and research hospitals, university hospitals and private hospitals), and they were retrospectively evaluated. Results The ages of the study participants ranged from 1 to 91 years, with a mean age of 39.
