Our clinical experiences in the earthquake victims who came to our university after the 2020 Aegean Sea earthquake during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earthquakes are natural disasters that threaten human life and cause loss of life and property in a very short time. In our study, we aim to carry out the medical analysis of the earthquake victims who came to our hospital after the Earthquake in the Aegean Sea and to share our clinical experiences. ⋯ Epidemiological studies can make an important contribution to the management and organization of the future earthquake-related injuries by healthcare institutions.

The effectiveness of fixation of hydroxyapatite-coated helical blade in preventing of the cut-out observed in treatment with proximal femoral nail of fractures of the femur intertrochanteric in elderly.
This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness of hydroxyapatite-coated (HA-coated) implants and other caput-collum implants in preventing cut-out observed in treatment with proximal femoral nail (PFN) of intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly patients. ⋯ HA-coated implants may reduce the long-term cut-out risk due to increased osteointegration and bone ingrowth in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures with poor bone quality. However, this alone is not enough; a suitable screw position, optimal TAD values, and excellent reduction quality are other important factors.

Fluoroscopy guided without contrast injection for ganglion impar blockade in traumatic coccydynia: Description a modified approach and 1-year results.
This study presents a new fluoroscopy-controlled approach in patients with chronic traumatic coccydynia by applying ganglion impar block using the needle-inside-needle technique from the intercoccygeal region without the administration of contrast material. With this approach, the cost and possible side effects of using contrast material can be prevented. In addition, we examined the long-term effect of this method. ⋯ Our study shows that as an alternative in patients with chronic traumatic coccydynia, the long-term results of the needle-inside-needle method from the intercoccygeal region without contrast material are safe and feasible.

Acute kidney injury in burns in the intensive care unit: A retrospective research.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the common complications, associated with high mortality and morbidity in patients with burn injuries. This study aimed to determine the frequency of AKI development, its affective factors, and mortality rates according to kidney disease improving global outcomes (KDIGO) criteria in the burn patients. ⋯ AKI was related to high morbidity and mortality in patients with burns. Using KDIGOs, classification in daily fol-low-up is useful in early diagnosis.

The effect of using nitroderm TTS in ERCP on precut, selective cannulation, and bleeding.
The aim of the study was to investigate the use of prophylactic nitroglycerin patch in patients who applied to our clinic with occlusion icter and underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for complications such as pancreatitis, bleeding, perforation that may occur during and after the procedure, duration of the procedure, length of hospitalization, precut and selective cannulation rates, and mortality. ⋯ It has been shown that the use of prophylactic nitroglycerin patch in ERCP procedure increases the prophylactic selective cannulation rate, shortens the precut rate, pre-operative bleeding, hospital stay, and procedure time.
