Over the last few years scientists have been the targets for cybercrime in a few different ways. Hijacked or fake journals and predatory journals have emerged, and many scientists have been victimized by these journals. Those journals are trying to deceive authors and readers intentionally by not doing what they say they are doing, but still charging the authors for the services that they do not provide like peer review or editorial review. They also do not follow traditional standards for the acceptance of articles. Our goal is to disseminate knowledge and awareness about such journals and offer some basic skills to the authors so that they avoid fake or predatory publishers. One must be careful because predatory journals may take away not only your money but also, more importantly, your prestige and reputation. (JAEM 2015; 14: 94-6)

Solid organ transplant patients constitute a special population in the emergency departments (EDs). Increasing numbers of patients are reported in EDs for transplantation-related complications. Complications related to organ transplantation can be categorized into four groups: anatomical, infection, rejection, and drug toxicity. In patients presenting to the ED, all these categories should be considered in the differential diagnosis. However, the exact etiology, may not be known until admission to the hospital for further evaluation. Therefore, every complaint from a transplant patient should be carefully evaluated. In this study, we will review the principles for the management of patients with renal transplantation in the ED. (JAEM 2015; 14: 83-7)

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Although measured in CO levels are not always correlated with clinical symptoms, neurological symptoms may present in lower CO levels, and cardiac signs and symptoms may occur in high CO levels. Low levels of CO exposure are very rare causes of myocardial injury. In this case presentation, we aimed to report on a patient who had a 20% level of CO and high troponin level without cardiac signs and symptoms. A 26-year-old male presented to the emergency department with headache, nausea, and vomiting. The initial electrocardiogram showed ST-segment depression of 1 mm in Lead II(II)-Lead III(III) Lead augmented vector foot (aVF) and ST-segment elevation in Lead I(I)Lead augmented vector left (aVL). The patient’s laboratory values were as follows: troponin I: 1.5 ng/mL and FCOHb: 20.7%. The first echocardiogram of the patient demonstrated global hypokinesia of the left ventricle. The coronary angiogram of the patient was normal. All patients considered to have CO poisoning should be evaluated with electrocardiograms, cardiac necrosis marker measurements, and an echocardiogram for myocardial injury regardless of the level of CO or the absence of cardiac symptoms and signs.

Aim: In our study, we aimed to investigate the demographic features and clinical conditions of homeless people admitted to the emergency department (ED). Materials and Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years who had social service consultations were retrospectively examined. Demographic features, admission time, complaints on admission, length of stay in the ED, clinical tests performed, diagnoses, clinical outcomes (admission to the hospital, discharge, operation, or death) and ED costs were recorded. Results: The study included 39 patients. The median age of the patients was 63 years [interquartile range (IQR): 55-77 years, minimum: 30 years, maximum: 91 years]; 89.7% of the patients were male and 74.4% were absolute homeless. There were an average of 8.7 admissions per month. The median length of stay in the ED was 277 min. The median ED cost per admission was 103 Turkish Liras. Referral of homeless patients resulted in admission to hospital wards in 32 (9.2%) cases and admission to the intensive care unit in 41 (11.8%) cases. Conclusion: In addition to acute disease management, specific approaches should be planned for homeless patients in EDs, which are possibly the only health units that homeless patients refer to for their health problems.

A 56-year-old obese female patient with a history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension presented to the emergency department with the chief complaint of bilateral mastalgia and erythema, bruising, and peeling of bilateral breasts for 7 days. On admission, she had a temperature of 38.7°C, respiratory rate of 24 breaths/min, pulse rate of 98 beats/min, and blood pressure of 80/50 mmHg. There was no history of trauma, surgery, or invasive diagnostic interventions to the breasts. There was massive enlargement of both breasts with erythema and peeling of the overlying skin. The breasts were warm, tender, and edematous, with an intense anaerobic odor and blue-black discoloration of necrotic areas (Figure 1, 2). Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis (48100/μL), hyperglycemia (532 mg/dL), acute renal failure (BUN: 236 mg/dL and creatinine: 3.4 mg/dL), hyponatremia (123 mmol/L), and metabolic acidosis. The patient was diagnosed with severe sepsis. Management was initiated by rapid intravenous hydration and empirical antibiotic regimen comprising meropenem and piperacillin-tazobactam immediately. The patient was taken to the operating room for radical breast debridement. However, the patient developed cardiac arrest, and despite cardiopulmonary resuscitation, she died.

Introduction: Mumps is an acute, self-limited, highly infectious, systemic viral disease characterized by a swelling of the parotid glands. It is more common in school-aged children. We want to emphasize in this case report that mumps can also occur in old people and cause a mortal and rare complication such as complete AV block associated with mumps myocarditis. Case Report: An 80-year-old woman admitted to the emergency room with complaints of swelling around the right ear, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, presyncope, and chest pain. Her grandson had had a fever and swelling around the right and left ear approximately 2 weeks before the beginning of her own ailment. Her core temperature was 37.5°C. Blood pressure was 120/60 mmHg and pulse rate was 37 beats/min. There was swelling of the right parotid gland and complete atrioventricular block in her electrocardiogram. The patient was consulted with a cardiolog and transferred to the cardiology clinic. Conclusion: Mumps is most commonly occurs in children, and the most common presentation of the disease is parotitis. However, it may occur in elders and result in mortal complications.
