Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate percentages and gender distribution of the variations of the inferior vena cava (IVC), renal veins, and posterior lumbar tributaries of the left renal vein (LRV). Materials and Methods: For this cross sectional observational study, the computed tomography (CT) images of 1949 patients were evaluated retrospectively. Results: In the present study, percentages of double IVC, left IVC, and IVC interruption with azygos continuation were 0.5%, 0.2%, and 0.1%, respectively; circumaortic left renal vein (CLRV) was 6% and retroaortic left renal vein (RLRV) was 4.2%. Multiple renal vein variations were 24.1% on the right, but none on the left. Posterior lumbar tributaries of the renal veins were 0.15% on the right and 48% on the left. There was no difference between genders in terms of LRV and IVC variations. While the incidence of multiple right renal veins was statistically significantly higher in male patients compared to female patients (p = 0.045), the opposite was true for the posterior lumbar tributaries of the LRV (p = 0.035). Conclusion: The venous system has a wide variety of variations, and the renal venous circulation is supported by number variations on the right in men and collaterals on the left in women.

Introduction: Due to the presence or proximity of medical imaging modalities in emergency departments, their use is becoming widespread in pediatric and adult emergency departments. Especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of computed tomography as a rapid and sensitive method for the diagnosis of pneumonia has also increased. This study aimed to analyse the change in the trends of imaging modalities in emergency departments over the last 6 years in our country. Material and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted in the emergency departments of public and university hospitals in Turkey between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021. The numbers and percents of imaging requests (CT,MRI,radiographs,USG) were analyzed. Results: Regarding imaging per admission were considered, Plain radiograph constituted the most requested examinations compared to all applications (31%-36%). Then, the rates were followed by CT (10.84%-23.40%), and the highest CT requests were found in 2020(n=17.192.695).

Amaç:Nörojen Mesane tanısı ile Temiz Aralıklı Kateterizayon yapan hastalarda üriner enfeksiyon sık görülmekte tanısında gecikmeler ve zorluklar bulunmaktadır. Çalışmamızda Temiz Aralıklı Kateterizayon yapan hastalarda idrar ısısı ölçümünün, üriner sistem enfeksiyonu tanısına katkısını araştırmaya çalıştık. Materyal ve Method: Nörojen mesane tanısı ile kliniğimizde takip edilen 9 kız 3 erkek hastanın toplam 33 idrar değerlendirmesi çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalar poliklinik başvurusunda bilgileri kaydedildikten sonra Temiz Aralıklı Kateterizayon odasında ailesi tarafından Temiz Aralıklı Kateterizayon yapıldı. Noncontact clinical termometre ile hastaya ve idrar numunelerine temas etmeden beden ısıları, idrar kabındaki idrar ısısı ve kateterdeki idrar ısısı Temiz Aralıklı Kateterizayon hemşiresi tarafından kaydedildi. Hasta daha sonra laboratuvar testi olarak idrar kültürü, idrar tetkiki, Hemogram,ve CRP testlerini verdi. Hastanın idrar ısından bilgisi olmadan aynı hekim tarafından hasta değerlendirilerek tedavisi planlandı. Sonuç: Üriner sistem enfeksiyonuna göre hastaların sonuçları incelendiğinde: üriner sistem enfeksiyonu tanısı konulan ve tedavi edilen hastaların beden ısılarında anlamlı bir değişiklik tespit edilememiştir. Üriner enfeksiyon tanısı konulanlan hastaların Temiz Aralıklı Kateterizayon kateterinden gelen ilk idrar ısıları 30.53±1.84oC olarak ölçülürken üriner sistem enfeksiyonu olmayan hastalarda 28.97±1.67oC olarak ölçülmüştür.

OBJECTIVE: Morning headaches have been associated with sleep-related breathing disorders and Sleep Bruxism (SB). The present study aims to investigate the relationship between SB, primary headaches and the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) in patients presenting with morning headaches and a prediagnosis of OSAS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 480 patients who prediagnosis of OSAS and morning headache complaints, and were diagnosed with primary headache according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD). Age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), headache type, presence of SB, OSAS stage according to Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), and presence of hypoxia were recorded. Patients were then divided into 2 groups of SB (-) and SB (+), and both groups were compared in terms of headache. RESULTS. In the classification according to headache types, 31.5% of the patients were classified as migraine, 41.9% as tension-type headache (TTH), 2.1% as cluster, and 24.6% as other types of headache.

Background and Aim: Predicting high-risk patients is crucial in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to investigate whether the leukoglycemic index (LGI) has a unique ability and to compare it with other inflammatory parameters in predicting in-hospital mortality in AMI. Methods: In this single-center study, we retrospectively analyzed all AMI patients hospitalized and followed by a single operator. Patients were divided into two according to in-hospital outcomes. Other inflammatory parameters (systemic immune-inflammatory index, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, triglyceride-HDL ratio, and LDL-HDL ratio), C-reactive protein (CRP), and LGI were calculated according to previously described criteria. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to find independent predictors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to find the cut-off point of LGI and other parameters in predicting mortality. Results: A total of 304 patients with AMI were included in the study. The mean age was 62.18±11.89 and 74 (24.3%) of patients were female. The total death rate was 19 (6.3%). In univariate variable analysis, LGI was found as a significant predictor of mortality (p

Objectives The appropriate anesthesia method in patients requiring surgical treatment with confirmed or suspected new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is unclear. This study aimed to compare regional anesthesia (RA) with general anesthesia (GA) in patients with COVID-19 infection in terms of admission to intensive care unit (ICU), rate of pulmonary complications, and mortality. Materials and Methods We reviewed medical records between March 2020 and December 2021 added patients with COVID-19 that operated under RA or GA in the study. The patients were assigned into two groups: 1. patients operated under RA and 2. patients operated under GA. Primary outcomes were admission rates to the ICU, acute pulmonary, renal, and hepatic complications, and perioperative mortality rates. Results We included 123 patients in the study. Regional anesthesia was significantly higher in the cohort. 97 (78.9 %) patients were operated under RA and 26 (21.1 %) patients under GA. The admission rate to ICU was 8.2 %in the RA group and 11.5 %in the GA group. The difference was not significant (p=0.422). Pulmonary complications were seen in 6 (6.2 %) patients in the RA group and 2 (7.7 %) patients in the GA group without a significant difference (p=0.535). Perioperative mortality rates were comparable between groups (5.2 %in the RA group vs. 7.7 %in the GA group) (p=0.535). Conclusion Pulmonary complications, ICU admission, and perioperative mortality rates were lower in COVID-19 patients operated under regional anesthesia; however, the differences were not significant.
