Analysis of physical violence incidents against physicians in Turkey between 2008 and 2018.
Violence against physicians is a global issue that causes impaired physical and mental health, declined work quality, resignations, and even suicides. Studies regarding violence against physicians are very limited. Therefore, our aim is to investigate the physical violence incidents against physicians presented in print media between 2008 and 2018. ⋯ The frequency of physical violence incidents against physicians is increasing. Throughout the study period, news reports containing condemnations, critiques, and protests are also more frequently, yet not adequately, placed in print media. Thus, social and public awareness ought to be enhanced through national and global media outlets. Furthermore, extensive measures must be taken by governments in order to prevent and eliminate violence.

Analysis of risk factors of mortality for pediatric burned patients with inhalation injury and comparison of different treatment protocols.
We present our approach of pediatric burned patients with the suspicion of inhalation injury. ⋯ This study demonstrated that TBSA is the risk factor that independently affects the mortality in pediatric patients with inhalation injury. Among the patients with higher than 47.5% burn surface area, the mortality rate rises 5 times.

Case ReportsOrbital compartment syndrome secondary to retrobulbar hematoma after infratrochlear nerve block for nasolacrimal probing.
After infratrochlear nerve block for nasolacrimal probing, sudden vision loss, proptosis, pain, loss of light reflexes, and a total limitation of ocular movement was observed in a 71-year-old female patient. She was diagnosed with retrobulbar hemorrhage and orbital compartment syndrome (OCS). Lateral canthotomy, cantholysis, and medial orbitotomy were performed on the patient. ⋯ All the clinical findings returned to normal right after the intervention except mild ptosis (~1 mm), which persisted for 2 months. All patients scheduled for periocular anesthesia should be questioned about using oral anticoagulant medications, and the possibility of serious complications should be kept in mind even for patients without any risk factors. Patients with OCS secondary to retrobulbar hemorrhage should be surgically managed within the critical window (90 min) to prevent any irrevers-ible optic nerve injury.

Retrospective examination of complications observed in orthognathic surgical surgery in 85 patients.
The aim of our study is to examine the possible complications, risk factors, and solutions encountered in orthog-nathic surgery in the light of the cases; we performed in our clinic. ⋯ Post-operative malocclusion, bleeding, inferior alveolar nerve injury, infection, poor division, and infection are the most common complications in orthognathic surgery. It can be associated with factors such as the duration of the operation, the number of operations, the site of the operation, and the type of osteotomy which performed. It is thought that positive contributions can be made to the success of the surgery by considering these factors in the treatment planning, during the operation and in the post-operative follow-up part.
