Evaluation of Inflammation-Based Prognostic Risk Scores in Predicting in-Hospital Mortality Risk in COVID-19 Patients: A Cross-Sectional Retrospective Study.

Objective: Systemic inflammatory parameters are predictors of poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients. This study evaluated whether the prognostic nutritional index, which was also related to nutrition risk and other inflammation-based prognostic scores, was predictive of in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional single-center study.

The haemodynamic effects of umbilical cord milking in term infants: a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Umbilical cord milking (UCM) is a method that allows for postnatal placental transfusion.

Background And Aim Of The Work: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the most common cause of respiratory failure among premature infants. The most important choice for the treatment of  RDS is still exogenous surfactant replacement therapy and respiratory support. Today, there are some different surfactant applying techniques.

Estimation of the capacity of emergency surgery in Konya: Nine-year multicenter study.

Brown Tumor of the Thoracic Spine: First Manifestation of Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

Brown tumors also called as osteoclastomas, are rare nonneoplastic lesions that arise in the setting of primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid adenomas or hyperplasia constitute the major Brown tumor source in primary hyperparathyroidism while chronic renal failure is the leading cause in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Most of the patients with the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism present with kidney stones or isolated hypercalcemia.
