BACKGROUND: This study aims to assess pediatric patients with Open Globe Injury (OGI) using the Modified Pediatric Ocular Trauma Score (MPOTS) and to investigate the correlation between Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Platelet-to-Lympho-cyte ratio (PLR) parameters with the prognosis determined by MPOTS. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we included pediatric patients with OGI. Recorded data encompassed demographic details, injury type, duration from injury to surgery, complete ophthalmological examinations, initial and final visual acuities, anterior segment and fundus findings, and NLR and PLR values...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Ahmed Majid Heydar, Mehmet Burak Yalçın
BACKGROUND: Although isolated distal radius and radial head fractures are common injuries, simultaneous ipsilateral fractures are uncommon. They can range from simple undisplaced fractures at either end to severely comminuted ipsilateral proximal and distal radial fractures. Few cases have been reported with concomitant comminuted distal radius and radial head fractures, and no treatment guidelines are available. Decisions are often based on personal recommendations. The purpose of our study is to increase awareness of this injury pattern and to discuss the mechanism of injury, treatment approach, and functional outcome...

BACKGROUND: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a unique set of circumstances, straining health-care systems and affecting the way of life in societies around the world. Measures such as social isolation, travel restrictions, and workplace closures have led to an increase in motorcycle use. Consequently, motorcycle accidents have become a significant problem during this period. This study presents detailed research conducted to examine motorcycle accidents during the COVID-19 pandemic and to understand the causes and consequences of the increase in these accidents...

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury is a devastating trauma that leaves survivors at risk for several medical complications throughout their lives. Lercanidipine, a third-generation calcium channel blocker, possesses anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative properties. This study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of lercanidipine in an experimental spinal cord trauma model. METHODS: Twenty-one Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three groups...

BACKGROUND: Dog bites are the most common type of injury related to animal bites in our country and worldwide. Dog bite wounds pose significant public health concerns and have medicolegal implications. In this study, we aimed to assess the problems associated with dog bites and propose potential solutions. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 149 cases submitted by judicial authorities to our institution, the Istanbul Council of Forensic Medicine, between 2015 and 2021, to obtain medicolegal expert opinion reports...

BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of curfews imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic on emergency department visits, orthopedic trauma frequencies, and types of trauma. METHODS: In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, a total of 16,242 patients, including 3,020 trauma patients, were admitted to level 1 trauma center emergency department between April-June 2020 and 2021 (curfew group) and between April-June 2018 and 2019 (control group)...

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition and the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) are shown to be correlated. The significance of nutritional status has been evaluated in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), stable CAD, and elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. However, the prognostic impact of poor nutritional status on STEMI patients who underwent emergent CABG is not known. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between nutritional status assessed by the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and long-term mortality in STEMI patients who underwent emergent CABG...

BACKGROUND: While numerous studies have proposed algorithms for the management of Stapfer Type 2 ERCP perforations, there is limited research on surgical treatment options specifically for this patient group. Our aim is not to propose a new algorithm for these patients but to describe our surgical approach and contribute to the literature with our surgical procedure applied in Stapfer Type 2 ERCP perforation cases. METHODS: Between 2016 and 2023, a total of 12 patients with Stapfer Type 2 ERCP perforations underwent surgery at our hospital...

BACKGROUND: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is responsible for one in a thousand emergency hospital admissions in America and Europe and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Current diagnostic and treatment methods fall short of desired outcomes, often resulting in delayed diagnoses and difficulties in detecting ischemic bowel tissue during treatment. This study evaluates the diagnostic value of commonly used biochemical markers in clinical practice-creatine kinase, C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)-alongside blood flow measurements using laser Doppler in a rat model of experimental mesenteric ischemia...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to reveal the protective effect of body mass index (BMI) and subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness (SATT), together with scores covering the abdomen, in patients with penetrating abdominal trauma. METHODS: The data of 234 abdominal penetrating trauma patients over the age of 16 who applied to the emergency general sur-gery unit of Istanbul Medipol Hospital between 2017 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Sex, age, types of penetrating injuries, BMI, need for blood transfusion and intensive care unit (ICU), mortality, Injury Severity Score (ISS), Penetrating Abdominal Trauma Index (PATI), and Flint Colon Injury Score (FCIS) were recorded...

BACKGROUND: Although true splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are rare, due to advancements in imaging techniques, they are seen more frequently. The aim of this study is to present our strategy of managing patients with SAA. METHODS: Retrospectively, 13 patients who were treated in a tertiary university care center between 2012 and 2020 were included.

Tracheobronchial ruptures can be extremely dramatic and life threatening and are encountered in approximately 5 out of 100,000 cases after orotracheal intubation. They can occur as a result of intubation, tracheostomy, and bronchoscopy. In this case report, we presented a 56-year-old female patient with a history of thyroid surgery 27 years prior who presented to our clinic with recurrent multinodular goiter. The patient underwent a complementary complication-free thyroidectomy assisted by intermittent intraoperative nerve monitoring...

BACKGROUND: Bleeding remains the leading cause of potentially preventable deaths both in military and civilian pre-hospital trauma settings. Conventional extremity tourniquets do not control bleeding if an iliac artery or a common femoral artery is injured. Stopping junctional bleeding is particularly challenging and requires the use of specifically designed junctional tourniquets. SAM® Junctional Tourniquet (SJT®, United States of America) and Tactical Abdominal Junctional Tourniquet (T-AJT®, Fora Group Türkiye) have been actively used by Turkish security forces...

Pınar Taşar, Sadık Ayhan Kılıçturgay
Gossypiboma is a non-absorbable material that is forgotten during surgery. These are medicolegal pathology that leads to diagnostic confusion from abscess to tumor. We present the case of gossypiboma detected in laparotomy in a 57-year-old male patient who had a history of operation due to a hydatid cyst 22 years ago and was referred to our center due to hydatid recurrence. The case should suggest a history of surgical gossypiboma, especially in asymptomatic patients. In this preventable pathology, the strategy during sur-gery and the careful and proper attitude of the surgical team are the main determinants...

BACKGROUND: Congenital and traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (DH) can lead to respiratory and gastrointestinal complications that can be the cause of serious morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to share our experience with the surgical repair of complicated or non-complicated DH. METHODS: Patients who were operated on under emergency or elective conditions with the diagnosis of DH between 2009 and 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, histories, symptoms, etiology of DH, computed tomography find-ings, surgical techniques, and postoperative outcomes of the patients were recorded...
