Authors: HOŞGÜN Derya , AYDEMİR Semih , ATEŞ Can 
Published: September 2021

Background: Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a leading cause of death from vascular events. In the pathophysiology of PTE, inflammatory mediators have been shown to be upregulated and to interact with coagulation factors.In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of symptoms, clinical and radiological findings, and the blood parameters measured at presentation within the first 24 h after the onset of the symptoms in predicting 90-day mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) requirement in patients with PTE.
Methods: The retrospective study included 264 PTE patients that were followed up at our Chest Diseases clinic and ICU between 2014 and 2019.
Results: The 264 patients comprised 55.3% women and 44.7% men with a mean age of 62.80±15.95 years. Of these, 189 of them were hospitalized in the Chest Diseases clinic and the remaining 75 patients were followed up at ICU. Total mortality occurred in 8 (3%) out of 264 patients. Risk factors for 90-mortality included white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV)/RDW ratio, right ventricular dilatation (RVD), recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) therapy, ICU hospitalization, and increased APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) scores (p

Published: September 2021

Aim: Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) injuries are common among the young and middle-aged population. The management of Grade III ACJ injuries is still controversial. The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical results and complication rates of trans-articular Kirschner (K) wire fixation and the TightRope System for surgically treated ACJ injuries.
Material and Method: Patients with Grade III or more ACJ injuries surgically treated for acute ACJ injuries were included in the study. The patients were grouped according to the fixation method; the patients treated with the TightRope System were called Group 1 (n=17). The patients treated with trans-articular K-wire fixation were called Group 2 (n=21). The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Constant-Murley (CS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, and shoulder range of motion (ROM) values were evaluated, and the complications were recorded and compared between the two groups.
Results: Thirty-eight patients (7 females, 31 males) were included in the study with a mean age of 33±9.04. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic and preoperative variables. ASES (P=0.400), CS (P=0.172), VAS (P=0.234), and ROM values were similar between the two groups. The rate of complications was significantly higher in Group 2 (P=0.025).
Conclusion: Trans-articular K-wire fixation and the TightRope System have similar clinical scores and ROM values; on the other hand, trans-articular K-wire fixation has significantly higher complication rates.

Authors: SİG Ali Korhan , KULA ATİK Tuğba , ÇETİN DURAN Alev 
Published: September 2021

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of Enterococcus species and to evaluate susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents in a state (secondary) hospital.
Material and Methods: A total of 1676 enterococci strains (490 E.faecium, 1146 E.faecalis, 10 E.casseliflavus/E.gallinarum and 30 other Enterococcus species) isolated from cultures obtained from January 2017 to December 2019 in XXX Hospital were included. Blood cultures were incubated in automated device (Render Biotech Co.Ltd., PRC). Other cultures were incubated with conventional methods. Grown colonies were identified by PhoenixTM 100 automated system (Becton Dickinson, USA). Identifications that need confirmation or strains identified to genus level were further evaluated with conventional techniques. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed by same system, Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion and gradient strip method according to EUCAST guidelines.
Results: 43.1%, 27.1%, 14.7% and 15.1% of enterococci were isolated from urine, blood/sterile body fluids, wound/abscess and other samples. Majority of the strains were ciprofloxacin (72.0%) and levofloxacin (74.1%) resistant, and more than 40% showed ampicillin and high-level gentamicin resistance. Glycopeptide resistance was relatively high (5.4%), especially when considering E.faecium (12.1%). There was not any tigecycline and linezolid resistance.
Conclusions: Antimicrobial resistance is a serious and growing public health problem affecting all countries, which is not just a topic of medicine, but multiple sectors such as commercial companies, food industry, veterinarians, etc. High percentages of resistance strongly indicate to get a local action, which should be followed by national and global one.
Does fine needle aspiration from a different nodule other than the dominant nodule provide additional benefit in thyroid diseases with nodules?
Authors: CENGİZ Hasret , DEMİRCİ Taner , AYDIN Ayhan , VARIM Ceyhun 
Published: September 2021

Objectives: The incidence of thyroid nodules has increased significantly and malignancy detected in 5-15% of them. While biopsy is recommended for all nodules larger than 1 cm in multinodular goiter, this is practically not possible in many patients. In addition, the relationship between nodule size and malignancy is not clear. We aimed to examine the value of additional biopsy from a nondominant nodule in terms of changing treatment and follow-up decisions and the relationship between nodule size and malignancy risk.
Material and Method: Patients (n=2,541) with thyroid nodules who applied to our clinic for various indications and performed fine needle aspiration between January 1, 2016 and March 1, 2021 were included in the study. Some of our patients with multinodular goiter were biopsied from a second additional nodule. Cytologic evaluations reported according to the Bethesta system. Pathology reports of the operated patients were scanned retrospectivelly.
Results: Fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed from a total of 3382 nodules of 2541 patients. The average age of our patient group was 56 (46-65) and 79% of them were women. When a comparison was made between nodule size and malignancy rate; the highest malignancy rate was detected in nodules between 1-2 cm (61,8%). Finally, a diagnosis of Bethesta-4,-5,-6 was reached in only 7 (0.9%) of 823 patients who underwent additional biopsy from nondominant nodule.
Conclusion: The value of an additional biopsy from a second nodule in terms of changing follow-up is very low and not significant and most of the cancers arise from nodules between 1-2 cm. According to our study, the assumptions that the malignancy risk increases as the nodule size or nodule count increase were not found to be correct.

Authors: HOKENEK Nihat Mujdat , AK Rohat 
Published: September 2021

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of blood gas analysis at the time of admission and additional Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) in predicting the hospitalization period of patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with a hyperglycemic crisis.
Materials and Method: This study was designed as retrospective, cross-sectional and observational. The patients who admitted to the ED with hyperglycemic crisis (diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome) and hospitalized were included in the study within 2 years between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2021, in a level 3 education research hospital. The electronic patient database of the hospital was scanned for the determined period of the study with ICD codes [E10.1, E11.1, or E13.1 (diabetic ketoacidosis) or E11.0, E13.0, or E10.65 and E10.69 (hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome)]. Patients under the age of 18 and patients whose disease histories could not be reached by blood tests were excluded from the study. Statistical significance was accepted as p
The evaluation of postural characteristics in rehabilitation professionals and its effect on pain, quality of life, and sleep level
Authors: URAN ŞAN Ayça , GÜZELKÜÇÜK Ümüt , TAN Arif Kenan 
Published: September 2021

Objective:
Rehabilitation professionals play a primary role in patients' medical procedures, leaving them in long-term, fixed, and sometimes less than optimal body positions, leading to musculoskeletal disorders in individuals. This study aims to assess the postural characteristics of the rehabilitation professionals, investigate the effects on pain, quality of life, sleep levels, and identify possible risk factors.
Material and Method:
Our study had 105 participants and was performed as a prospective, cross-sectional study. The demographic information of the individuals included in the study, whether they have any pain complaints related to the musculoskeletal system, if any, its localization and sleep level were evaluated. Participants were administered the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Employee Quality of Life Scale. The postural status was assessed using the Corbin Posture Scale.
Results:
It was detected that the participants with higher Corbin Posture Scale scores had more severe pain levels assessed by VAS score (p:0.000, r:0.803), longer duration of musculoskeletal pain (p:0.000, r:0.456), and shorter daily sleep duration time (p:0.000,r:-0.424) as a result of our study.

Conclusion:
Postural dysfunction in rehabilitation professionals leads to many medical problems, especially musculoskeletal pain, high analgesic consumption, and sleep disturbances. As a result, there may be a reduction in quality of life. For this reason, it is of great importance to treat existing postural problems and give preventive exercise programs when needed.

Professional training in veterinary forensic sciences accessible within the curricula of 30 veterinary medical colleges in the United States
Authors: Ferrell Emmy 
Published: September 2021

A study of the curriculum offered by veterinary colleges in the United States was performed on the topic of veterinary forensic science, the field of science utilizing the expertise of a veterinarian to gather and interpret evidence associated with animal crime (i.e. animal abuse and/or neglect). In this study, data was collected from 30 United States veterinary colleges in regard to curriculum accessible to veterinary students, specific to the field of veterinary forensic science. Each school provided any mention and characterization of the topic available to students throughout the four years of veterinary education, including lectures in core courses, lectures worked into elective courses, and/or separate elective courses. Completion of this study revealed the inconsistencies of training in veterinary forensic science found at the colleges surveyed. There are no current standards on this topic required for the education of veterinary professionals. Based on this study, 13 colleges (43.3%) provide some mention of the topic in their course work and seven colleges (23.3%) provide a specific elective course, while 10 colleges (33.3%) offer no training at all in veterinary forensic science. With mandated reporting in 18 of the 50 states, new graduates are expected to be competent at recognizing and reporting suspected cases of animal abuse/neglect; however, many veterinarians have never even been exposed to the topic of veterinary forensics during their education.

Authors: Pinos Cedeño María José , Aguiar Flores Gloria Estefanía , Adriano Pérez Galo Iván , Layedra Ajila María Eugenia 
Published: September 2021

Introducción: En 2019 se identificó un nuevo coronavirus como la causa del brote de una enfermedad que se originó en China. Este virus se conoce como el coronavirus tipo 2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SARS-CoV-2). En marzo de 2020, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) declaró el brote de la COVID-19 como pandemia. Aunque la gravedad de la infección es determinada sobre todo por la aparición de neumonía grave e insuficiencia respiratoria aguda, se han descrito además afectaciones en distintos aparatos y sistemas. A nivel del aparato digestivo son frecuentes la aparición de diarrea, vómitos y dolor abdominal. La pancreatitis aguda es un proceso inflamatorio reversible, el cual resulta de la activación de enzimas digestivas liberadas por esta glándula. Esta entidad patológica está asociada con múltiples etiologías, por lo que algunos estudios han reportado una posible lesión pancreática asociada a la infección por SARS-CoV-2 debido a un efecto citopático directo del virus o posterior a la respuesta inflamatoria sistémica. Objetivo: Determinar las manifestaciones pancreáticas del COVID 19, lo que es fundamental para ayudar al diagnóstico y orientar hacia el pronóstico de esta patología. Metodología: En el presente artículo comentamos un caso de pancreatitis aguda que podría estar relacionado con la infección por COVID 19, además se realiza una búsqueda sistemática de bibliografía actual y relevante relacionada con el tema. Resultados: Las manifestaciones pancreáticas del SARS-CoV2 no son tan comunes, sin embargo la presencia simultánea de ambas entidades se ha asociado a una mayor mortalidad hospitalaria. Conclusión: Se dispone de escasa evidencia de rigor científico a nivel real para determinar al COVID 19 como factor directo causal de Pancreatitis Aguda, se requiere de mayores estudios multicéntricos y de mayor impacto.
