Epidemiological and clinical characteristics and outcomes of inpatient burn injuries in older adults: Factors associated with mortality.
There is a lack of epidemiological research on defining the epidemiological profile of burn injuries in older adults in different regions of Turkey. This study was designed to document the prevalent epidemiological pattern of burn injuries and factors that affect mortality in older adults admitted for treatment to the inpatient unit of Adana City Training and Research Hospital (ACTRH). ⋯ The more extended %TBSA burn, the inhalation injury, and deep burns were found to be significantly the most effective factors in mortality. Revised Baux (R Baux) and ABSI scores had a high value of predicting mortality.

Short-term protective effect of octreotide on the lungs of rats with experimentally induced sepsis.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a devastating complication of severe sepsis. Preclinical models suggest that direct lung injury begins with attack to the lung epithelium, but indirect lung injury results from systemic endothelial damage due to inflammatory mediators. The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of octreotide on lungs in a surgically induced sepsis model in rats. ⋯ It could be hypothesized that it would be beneficial to administer octreotide for ameliorate lung injury state in sepsis patients.

Are there factors in the disease of peroneal necrotizing fasciitis which should be used when choosing the anesthetic technique?: Descriptive analysis of a cohort from two centers.
This study aims to examine the factors affecting the selection of anaesthesia method in Fournier's gangrene. ⋯ The selection of anaesthesia method in Fournier gangrene patients is a complex process affected by factors, such as the patients' general condition, sepsis, and whether or not there is bleeding diathesis. The risk -benefit balance in the selection of anaesthesia method should be evaluated individually for patients.

Comparison of different treatment techniques in the mandibular condyle fracture.
Mandibular condyle fractures can be treated conservatively by intermaxillary fixation (IMF) or by open reposition and internal fixation. Although many studies have discussed for the optimal treatment method, the issue remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to compare conservative techniques in the mandibular condyle fractures. ⋯ The use of IMF with an occlusal splint is a more conservative and acceptable treatment modality than open reduction in selected cases.
