Radiographic and clinical outcomes of distal tibia fractures (3-12 cm proximal to the plafond): Comparison of two intramedullary nailing.
There are various distal locking options for the repair of tibia distal diametaphyseal fractures with intramedullary nails. There is no consensus about the superiority of any of these distal locking options. In our study, comparing nails with distal bolt locking screw (DSBLS) and conventional nails; we aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of intramedullary nail models in fixing tibial distal diametaphyseal fractures. ⋯ Newly developed DSBLS intramedullary nails give as good results as conventional nails in tibia distal diametaphyseal fractures. Due to its ability to loading bone early and have a shorter union time, DSBLS can be safely preferred in distal diametaphyseal fractures and reduce complications from immobilization.

The objective of the study is to investigate diagnostic and clinical processes performed for cardiac contusion in patients with blunt thoracic trauma. ⋯ We advise that all blunt thoracic trauma patients should be screened for cardiac contusion by continuous ECG monitoring and troponin levels.

Value of neutrophil-to-platelet ratio, immature granulocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, red blood cell distribution width-to-lymphocyte ratio in differentiating complicated acute appendicitis.
The discovery that medical treatment could be successful in cases with uncomplicated acute appendicitis (UCAA) has revealed the need for successfully differentiating cases with complicated acute appendicitis (CAA). The present study exam-ined the usability of neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR), immature granulocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, and red blood cell distribution width-to-lymphocyte ratio (RDWLR) in the CAA/UCAA differentiation. ⋯ It was concluded that the immature granulocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, NPR, monocyte-to-lymphocyte, and RD-WLR, which have not been previously studied in patients with acute appendicitis (AA), could be used to differentiate between com-plicated and uncomplicated AA groups.

Does the pre-operative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio have a predictive value in detecting infection in type 3 open tibia diaphysis fractures?
This retrospective study was aimed to investigate whether the pre-operative neutrophil-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio has a predictive value in terms of evaluating the development of infection in patients with type 3 open fractures of the tibia diaphysis. ⋯ Although N/L ratio of the blood in the pre-operative period has a predictive value for chronic diseases, we believe that it has no predictive value for detecting infection in patients with type 3 acute open tibia fractures.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of perfusion index (PI) measured by non-invasive pulse oximetry in the evaluation of pediatric trauma patients and to show its correlation with pediatric trauma score (PTS). ⋯ PI can be used for non-invasive and rapid assessment of unstable patients separately or in combination with PTS in pediatric trauma patients.
