The protective and anti-inflammatory effect of methylene blue in corrosive esophageal burns: An experimental study

Tanrıkulu, Ceren En | Tanrıkulu, Yusuf | Kılınç, Fahriye | Bahadır, Burak | Can, Murat | Köktürk, Fürüzan | Kefeli, Ayşe

BACKGROUND: In developing countries, esophageal burns are quite common. They are caused by the ingestion of corrosive substances that may lead to esophageal perforation in the short-term and stricture formation in the long-term. Prevention of stricture progression in the esophagus is the main aim of the treatment for corrosive esophageal burns. We aimed to investigate the protective and anti-inflammatory effects of methylene blue (MB) treatment on corrosive esophageal burns. METHODS: Twenty-eight rats were used in the study and randomly divided into four equal groups; group 1 (Sham), group 2 ( ...Daha fazlası

A comparison of the effects of platelet-rich plasma and demineralized bone matrix on critical bone defects: An experimental study on rats

Turhan, Egemen | Akca, Mustafa Kemal | Bayar, Ahmet | Songur, Murat | Keser, Selcuk | Doral, Mahmut Nedim

BACKGROUND: Delayed union of fractured bone is one of the main problems of orthopedics and traumatology practice. It was hypothesized that the beneficial effects of allogeneic platelet-rich plasma (PRP) would be valuable in the treatment of segmental bone defects. This study is a comparison of the effects of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and PRP in a segmental bone defect model. METHODS: Total of 48 Wistar albino rats were separated into 4 groups. Segmental bone defect was created at right radius diaphysis in all specimens using dorsal approach. Four additional rats were used as PRP source. ...Daha fazlası

Predictive factors for early hospital readmission and 1-year mortality in elder patients following surgical treatment of a hip fracture

Sofu, Hakan | Ucpunar, Hanifi | Camurcu, Yalkin | Duman, Serda | Konya, Mehmet Nuri | Gursu, Sarper | Sahin, Vedat

BACKGROUND: Early hospital readmission after surgically treated hip fracture is a common entity, often involving an adverse event and causing strains on an already overburdened healthcare system. The main purposes of the present study were to determine the 30-day readmission rate, analyze the predictive factors for early hospital readmissions, and assess 1-year mortality following surgical treatment of hip fracture in elderly patients. Retrospective case-control study. METHODS: In total, 517 patients with a mean age of 74 years were evaluated. The rate of early readmission, age, gender, body m ...Daha fazlası

Conservative approach to isolated cricoid cartilage fracture

Cinar, Fikret | Evren, Cenk | Ugur, Mehmet Birol | Corakci, Serkan | Erdem, Cemile Zuhal

Isolated cricoid fracture is encountered rarely during the clinical follow-up. A 71-year-old female patient was referred to emergency service with complaints of fall from height, and urgent tracheotomy was performed due to dyspnea. During the examination, isolated fractures of the cricoid cartilage were identified. With the conservative approach, the patient remained symptom-free and was discharged after decannulation.

Traumatic internal carotid artery dissection associated with playing soccer: a case report

Tascilar, Nida | Ozen, Banu | Acikgoz, Mustafa | Ekem, Sureyya | Aciman, Esra | Gul, Sanser

Soccer, one of the most popular sports worldwide among young men, can result in a wide range of orthopedic injuries. Although vascular injuries such as dissection occur rarely, they can cause significant mortality if left undiagnosed. We report herein a 31-year-old male who suffered a large middle cerebral artery infarction due to traumatic internal carotid artery dissection after a ball struck his head and neck. He recovered with mild neurologic deficit after decompressive surgery.

Eye injuries at a tertiary health center in the west Black Sea region, Turkey

Alpay, Atilla | Ozcan, Ozlem | Ugurbas, Silay Canturk | Ugurbas, Suat Hayri

BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the clinical aspects and visual prognosis in eye injury and to constitute data in the west Black Sea region in Turkey for national statistics. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 281 eye trauma cases admitted to the Emergency Department of Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital between 2005 and 2010 was performed. RESULTS A majority of eye injuries (42.7%) affected individuals aged 30 to 50 years. The most frequent cause of injury in the rural areas was wooden objects. The most frequent cause of injury in males aged 30 to 50 years was work-site injuries. Cor ...Daha fazlası

Erkol, Zerrin | Hekimoglu, Yavuz | Buken, Bora | Sirin, Gozde | Yilmaz, Riza | Akkaya, Harun

BACKGROUND: In this study, it was aimed to analyze the cases of traffic accident related deaths, buried without performing autopsy, in order to increase awareness of the physicians about declaration liability of forensic cases and also emphasize the declaration of the forensic case and autopsy importance. METHODS: In the First Specialization Board of Council of Forensic Medicine, 542 cases of death, reported between the years 2004-2008, who were involved in traffic accidents and buried without an autopsy performed, were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: It was found that 69.4% of the cases ( ...Daha fazlası

Medial mini-open versus percutaneous pin fixation for type III supracondylar fractures in children

Ercin, Ersin | Bilgili, Mustafa Gokhan | Baca, Emre | Basaran, Serdar Hakan | Bayrak, Alkan | Kural, Cemal | Avkan, Mustafa Cevdet

BACKGROUND: The present objective was to compare medial mini-open and percutaneous treatment of pediatric supracondylar fractures according to fluoroscopy time, duration of surgery, and iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. METHODS: A total of 104 Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures were prospectively evaluated between 2011 and 2013. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to type of fixation. In Group A (41 patients), medial pin was inserted with mini-open incision with 2 lateral pins inserted percutaneously. In Group B (63 patients), all pins were inserted percutaneously.

Details of motorcycle accidents and their impact on healthcare costs

Eroglu, Serkan Emre | Toprak, Siddika Nihal | Akoglu, Ebru | Onur, Ozge Ecmel | Denizbasi, Arzu | Ozpolat, Cigdem | Akoglu, Haldun

BACKGROUND: Of overall traffic accidents in 2011 in Turkey, 7.58% (n=2 1,107) were motorcycle accidents. Motorcycle accidents and their impact on healthcare costs are investigated in our study. METHODS: Motorcycle accidents that occurred with/without a collision between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2011 were studied prospectively through the inspection of patients visiting the Emergency Service. The healthcare costs relevant to each person injured in a motorcycle accident were investigated via forms. Data were analyzed using frequencies, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, and chi-square tests on t ...Daha fazlası

The relationship between level of injury and bladder behavior in patients with post-traumatic spinal cord injury

Erol, Buelent | Kocak, Taner | Kadioglu, Ates | Muslumanoglu, Lutfiye | Karamehmetoglu, Safak | Akinci, Mustafa | Arikan, Firdevs

BACKGROUND After the spinal shock period, suprasacral injuries classically result in detrusor hyperreflexia/overactive bladder and detrusor sphincter dyssynergia. Sacral cord injuries produce detrusor areflexia consistent with lower motor neuron injury and often increased bladder compliance. However, previous investigators have noted an inexact correlation between spinal cord injury level and urodynamic findings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between level of injury and urodynamic findings. METHODS Fifty-one patients with post-traumatic spinal cord injury were classifi ...Daha fazlası

BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the biochemical effectiveness of methylprednisolone, N-acetylcysteine (NAG) and methylprednisolone combined with NAC treatment in experimental spinal cord injury in rats. METHODS Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 250-300 g were divided into four groups. Spinal cord injury was created extradurally with an aneurysm clip at the T4-T5 level. Following the trauma, Group C (Control group, n:8) was not given any treatment. Group M (methylprednisolone group, n:8) was treated with 30 mg.kg(-1) methylprednisolone followed by a maintenance dose of 5.4 ...Daha fazlası
