Evaluation of complications in patients with open fractures of the upper and lower extremity treated with internal fixation after the external fixation.
Open fractures constitute an important mortality and morbidity cause among all musculoskeletal system injuries and bring along many social and economic problems. The cost occurring due to both long treatment duration and the delay in returning to work made these conditions more complicated. The present study aims to evaluate of the complications which may occur in cases with an application of internal fixation following external fixator in upper and lower extremity open fractures retrospectively. ⋯ Open fractures are always hard to treat. After external fixation to the internal fixation process have some complications, phsycians should be aware of all these problems and plan according to the situation.

The association between injury severity and psychological morbidity, hand function, and return to work in traumatic hand injury with major nerve involvement: A one-year follow-up study.
We aimed to investigate the association between the severity of the injury and psychological morbidities, hand functions, and return to work (RTW) in traumatic hand injury (THI) with major nerve involvement. ⋯ The severity of the injury is significantly associated with hand functions, pinch strengths, and RTW in THIs with major nerve involvement. The findings showed that there was no association between the severity of the injury and psychological morbidities in the present study.

Gut mucosa in the rats exposed temporary mechanical obstruction fed with probiotic.
Created a model in the rats, to prevent mucosal damage and related effects in the patients, who were operated due to mechanical obstruction. Some groups fed fodder with probiotics, some groups fed with standard fodder. It is objected that the damage of gut mucosa and related effects on how to expose the differences of the groups. ⋯ The findings suggest that the high rate of mucosal edemas in the groups that are fed with probiotics can be seen as damage, but we think that probiotics are consonant with the strength of the mucosal barrier. Thus, in the groups fed with probiotics, it is possible that bacterial translocation is seen less, and some antioxidative enzymes are found less. Further studies are needed to investigate the benefits of probiotics in patients operated for obstruction.

Although primer appendagitis epiploica (PAE) is an acute condition, there is no consensus about a standard first-choice treatment. Different non-surgical and surgical interventions for PAE are available. ⋯ Accurate diagnosis with the help of developing imaging methods has made non-surgical treatment a viable option in the treatment of PAE.

Analysis of anatomical localization and severity of injury in patients with blood transfusion in urban terrain hospital.
Blood loss is the most significant cause of mortality in trauma cases. In injured patients, rapid evaluation and appropriate transfusion is lifesaving. The present study aims to analyze the blood/blood products requirement based on available data and find any associations between the transfusion requirements and injury severity scores (ISS) and anatomical locations of injuries of transfused patients. ⋯ Anatomical location of injuries and ISS are valuable in the rapid determining of MT and survival rates of casualties. Especially in torso injuries, bleeding control is difficult and transfusion requirement and mortality rates are high. This study presents the trauma of urban terrain conflict-related transfusion data from a UTH.
