To evaluate the efficacy of supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) in patients undergoing proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation surgery for intertrochanteric fracture (ITF). ⋯ Compared to GA, S-FICB for ITF internal fixation surgery is associated with more stable hemodynamics, lower pain levels, less consumption of opioids, lower perioperative stress response, reduced postoperative complications, and shorter hospital stay in patients during the perioperative period.

To design a deep learning-based model for early screening of diabetic retinopathy, predict the condition, and provide interpretable justifications. ⋯ Utilizing image-level annotations, we implemented a method for detecting diabetic retinopathy through deep learning and provided interpretable justifications to assist clinicians in diagnosis.

The aim of the study was to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on frequency of well-child follow-up visits and immunization rate in Turkish tertiary reference hospital's Well-Child Care Outpatient Clinic. ⋯ The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on healthcare. In addition to the effects that emerged during the pandemic period, it is predicted that there will be many reflections in the post-pandemic period, especially affecting the vulnerable population. Although our study was conducted in a single centre, it is of great importance in terms of revealing the efforts made by healthcare workers in the field of child health follow-up and vaccination during the pandemic period and emphasising that primary healthcare services should continue.
