Overtime, agricultural machines have been designed appropriate to more simple needs, instead of tractors which have a wide area of use. An example of these is the 'patpat,' so named because of the sound of the motor, and for which the main purpose is ploughing. ⋯ Patpat accidents are a serious problem because of the frequency of use of these vehicles without proper supervision and especially because of the hazardous topographical conditions where they are used.

Can formation of avascular necrosis really be prevented in Delbet type 2 femoral neck fractures?
Fractures of proximal femur are rarely seen in childhood. These fractures can result in serious complications such as avascular necrosis (AVN), coxa vara, and early closure of the femoral epiphysis. The aim of this study is to investigate retrospectively the Delbet type 2 fractures that are commonly seen and has high rates of AVN. ⋯ According to our findings in Delbet type 2 fractures, other than the severity of the trauma and the initial displacement of the fracture, factors related to the treatment process do not have a significant effect on the development of AVN. Age was not determined as a risk factor for the development of AVN in these patients.

Features of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and factors affecting the re-bleeding risk.
The risk of re-bleeding in upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a major complication that can be mortal. In this study, we aimed to determine the factors that can predict the risk of re-bleeding in UGIB patients. ⋯ Hematocrit and urea values seem beneficial among studied laboratory values, however, Glasgow-Blatchford scoring system performed better than AIMS65 in the prediction of re-bleeding risk in UGIB. The authors concluded that more specific predictive markers may be useful for clinicians.

Can chlorogenic acid reduce oxidative stress and in an experimental spinal cord injury?
We aimed to investigate antioxidant and neuroprotective properties of chlorogenic acid in spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ In this study, SCI was primarily examined through thiol-SS balance, and it was demonstrated by experimental models that chlorogenic acid has antioxidant and neuroprotective effects in SCI.

Comparison of complicated appendicitis rates between refugees and local patients.
This study aims to determine whether refugee patients are more likely to present with complicated appendicitis. ⋯ The findings of this study demonstrated that refugee patients have a higher complicated appendicitis rate and late admission rate, even though refugee patients have equal access to healthcare in our country. Future research is needed to identify factors affecting outcomes of refugee patients.
