Evaluation of the appendectomy cases performed under emergency conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic and discussed with the pathology reports.
The aim of this study is to examine the cases underwent appendectomy during the COVID-19 pandemic and to discuss the pathology reports of patients. ⋯ COVID-19 pandemic not only changes all routines of social life but also complicates the treatment and manage-ment of cases with AA symptoms applied to hospital under emergency conditions. Follow-up of the appendectomy specimen is crucial in terms of excluding other pathologies.

The relationship between extremity fractures and visual impairment in childhood: A case-control study.
Fractures are common extremity injuries in pediatric orthopedic practice. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between pediatric extremity fractures and visual impairments. ⋯ Our study showed that low-energy pediatric extremity fractures are more common in children with visual im-pairments that require treatment, and low stereopsis is a risk factor for fractures. Consequently, regular eye examinations and early treatment of visual impairments in children may help to prevent fall-related injuries.

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.
