Case ReportsA case of soft tissue hematoma detected incidentally on 99m TC-labelled RBC gastrointestinal bleeding SPECT/CT.
We report an incidental finding on 99mTc-labelled RBC gastrointestinal bleeding scintigraphy of a 49-year-old female patient referred to our clinic in order to localize the bleeding site. The patient has also been suffering from chronic renal insufficiency and received several interventions of femoral catheterization. During the follow-up, an intense uptake was observed at the right inguinofemoral area which is evaluated as a large soft tissue hematoma and confirmed by SPECT/CT subsequently. On the 24th h delayed image an activity accumulation along the bowel trace on the right side of the abdomen was seen as evidence of lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

Case ReportsDelayed diagnosis and successful management of completely transected common hepatic duct in a blunt multitrauma patient.
Extrahepatic bile duct injuries are very uncommon and easily be missed in multitrauma patients. Patients suffer from bile duct injuries need special approach to this situation. In this report, a case with total transection of common hepatic duct and treatment approach was presented. ⋯ The patient was operated after follow-up and a Roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy has been made. Extrahepatic bile duct injuries are rare and high suspicion is important in complex multitrauma patients. Extent of the injury is unique for every patient and technical aspect of repair can be challenging.

Clinical outcome of pediatric hand burns and evaluation of neglect as a leading cause: A retrospective study.
Majority of the pediatric burns happen when an adult is nearby the child. This suggests the role of adult carelessness or neglect as a cause of burns. The aim of this study is to provide clinical data on pediatric hand burns and to draw attention to the role of neglect in pediatric burn injuries. ⋯ Pediatric burn accidents occurred mainly at home, mostly with an adult around. Habits of drinking hot beverages, dangerous cooking practices and lack of awareness are some important issues leading to burn accident. Neglect is found in 21.35% of hand burns as the etiology. In addition to general preventive measures special attention should be paid to the signs of neglect in the evaluation of patients. These burns should also be reported to official services, as they may reflect inadequate supervision or neglect by the caregiver.

Epidemiology and outcome of 1442 pediatric burn patients: A single-center experience.
Burns are common injuries among children resulting with significant mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries. Epidemiological data may guide for the preventive measures and contribute reducing the incidence of burns in children. The aim of this study is to report the epidemiological features of pediatric burn patients treated in a tertiary burn center and to suggest preventive measures. ⋯ Infants and males consist of the majority of our pediatric burn patients. The percentage of burned TBSA and length of hospital stay increased as the patient age increased. Childhood burn injuries are mainly scald burns that occur indoors, while their parents were nearby. Therefore, education programs focusing on primary prevention addressing family members are required to avoid pediatric burns.
