Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 and its lockdowns on firearm violence in a center of Türkiye, comparing data from three distinct time periods: before the pandemic, during the lockdown, and after reopening.
- - In total, the study analyzed 371 firearm injury cases, mostly involving pistols, with a majority of injuries occurring in the lower extremities; however, it found no significant increase in firearm violence during the reopening period compared to the others.
- - The findings indicate that unlike in the USA, there was no notable "reopening phenomenon" in Türkiye regarding firearm violence, but it emphasizes that gun violence continues to be a serious concern globally.

Objective: The effect of malnutrition in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not fully understood. In this study, we tried to investigate the prognostic consequence of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score in patients with STEMI.
Methods: In this study, we evaluated the CONUT scores of 1,028 patients with STEMI and examined its relationship with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (all-cause mortality, myocardial reinfarction, and vessel revascularization) during a period of 19.
A novel electrocardiographic parameter for the prediction of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery "P wave peak time".

Department of Cardiology, Dr. Siyami Ersek Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Center, University of Health Scienses, Tıbbiye Cad. No:13 Selimiye, 34886, Üsküdar/İstanbul, Turkey.
Objectives: Patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) have increased risk of both short- and long-term mortality and morbidity; therefore, prediction of POAF is crucial in the preoperative period of the patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Electrocardiography (ECG) is the simplest and cost-effective tool in the preoperative workup of the patients for the prediction of POAF. A newly defined ECG parameter P wave peak time (PWPT) has been shown as a marker of atrial fibrillation development in non-surgical patients and we investigated its role in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

In this study, we aimed to determine if neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio could predict long term morbidity and mortality in patients who hospitalized for non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and had coronary slow flow on coronary angiography. In this observational study, 111 patients who presented with NSTE-ACS and diagnosed with coronary slow flow phenomenon on angiographic examination were included. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) calculated as the ratio of the number of neutrophils to the number of lymphocytes.
