The Role of Serum HMGB-1 Level in Differentiating the Soft-Tissue Infection From Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis.

Background: The incidence of diabetic foot infections is increasing due to the rising number of persons with diabetes and the prolonged life expectancy. It is vital to differentiate soft-tissue infection (STI) from diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO), as treatment modalities and durations vary widely, but this can be challenging. We aimed to assess the blood concentration levels of the high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB-1) in STI and DFO compared to healthy subjects, and to investigate whether this protein could contribute to differentiating STI from DFO.

Comparative Analysis of Perfusion Index and End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide in Cardiac Arrest Patients: Implications for Hemodynamic Monitoring and Resuscitation Outcomes.

Background: During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), some parameters (e.g., intraarterial pressure measurement and end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO)) indicate the quality and outcome of resuscitation.

Hospital crisis management after a disaster: from the epicenter of 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake.

Background: In such cases where sudden destruction and injury are very high, search and rescue teams and hospitals can be the most important determining factors between people's lives and deaths.

Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively, after the two catastrophic earthquakes (Türkiye-Syria Earthquakes) by taking the records of the patients who admitted to our hospital. Patients' admission times, diagnoses, demographic data, triage codes, medical interventions, hemodialysis needs, crush syndrome and mortality rates were analyzed.
