The primitive cable car (varangel) accident-related fatalities: A retrospective autopsy study.
The primitive cable car is the generic name given to the cable transportation settings driven between one or more steel cables is known as 'varangel.' In this retrospective autopsy study, it was aimed to discuss the common injury patterns of the fatalities associated with the use of these primitive cable car systems. ⋯ Primitive cable cars may be fatal and must be under official control.

Case ReportsManagement of tracheal stenosis after corrosive acid ingestion: A case report.
Although corrosive injury of the digestive tract is a well-known clinical entity, damages of the airway and a critically life-threatening condition, have not been clearly documented. Tracheal stenosis is very rare associated with corrosive acid ingestion. ⋯ She was treated by serial dilation, repair of tracheal laceration, and placement of a temporary polyurethane-coated nitinol stent. Careful and accurate stent placement may provide significant and life-saving airway improvement as observed in the presenting pediatric case.

Mini-incision open appendectomy versus laparoscopic appendectomy: An experience in a rural hospital.
There is still no consensus about whether laparoscopic appendectomy should be performed in selected cases or routinely in all cases for treatment of acute appendicitis. Especially for rural hospitals with laparoscopic equipment shortages, it is critical to develop surgical methods alternative to LA. This prospective study aimed to compare mini-incision open appendectomy (MOA) and laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) procedures. ⋯ Mini-incision open appendectomy is a reliable method in patients with acute appendicitis who have a BMI of <30 and it is superior to laparoscopic appendectomy concerning the operation time, postoperative pain and cost.

External validation of the AppendistatTM score and comparison with CRP levels for the prediction of complicated appendicitis.
In acute appendicitis, the treatment approach may vary depending on the age and comorbidities of the patient and whether the appendix is complicated. In this study, we validated the appendistatTM score, including the logistic regression model of complicated appendicitis, and compared the efficacy of this scoring with C-reactive protein in predicting complicated appendicitis. ⋯ AppendistatTM is a successful scoring system that contains appropriate parameters. However, C-reactive protein detecting or excluding complicated appendicitis at a similar rate to AppendistatTM suggests that the latter does not have a significant advantage in clinical practice.

Acute appendicitis in pregnancy: 50 case series, maternal and neonatal outcomes.
During pregnancy, the most common indication for non-obstetric surgery in acute abdomen is appendicitis. In pregnancy, appendicitis may be confused with pregnancy-related pathologies and may cause a delay in diagnosis or unnecessary surgery. The present study aims to evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes of patients undergoing appendectomy during pregnancy. ⋯ Delay in the diagnosis and surgery of acute appendicitis during pregnancy may increase the risk of perinatal mortality and should not be delayed in diagnosis and surgery in pregnancy.
