In this study, we aimed to determine the properties of violence that physicians working in the emergency departments are exposed to and witness and also to present the process after the violence. Material and Methods: This study was held with participants of the 4th Emergency Medicine School Meeting organized by the Emergency Medicine Physicians Association of Turkey on January 11-12, 2013 in Istanbul. Answers given to the questionnaire titled “Violence in the health sector and its properties” by volunteer participants were evaluated with a statistical program. Results: Of the 73 physicians, 60.3% was male and 39.7% was female. The mean age was 31.9±5.8 years; 91.8% stated that they were exposed to violence at least once in their professional lives. The most common type of violence exposed and witnessed was verbal violence. Conclusion: Emergency departments are places where violence is experienced extremely often. Doing legal arrangements, taking security precautions, and solving patient-healthcare communication problems are important steps for preventing violence. But, it is thought that the main step is to provide social synergy in the perception of violence.

Previous studies have documented the association between postoperative atrial fibrillation and reduction in serum magnesium level after cardiovascular surgery well. However, there is no study assessing the relationship between serum sodium concentration and atrial fibrillation. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between serum sodium concentration and atrial fibrillation. Material and Methods: The present study had a cross-sectional design. The study population included 240 cases (120 patients with atrial fibrillation and 120 controls). Patients with atrial fibrillation were compared with the control group in terms of serum sodium level. Results: The mean serum sodium level in the atrial fibrillation group was 136.0±18.3 mEq/l, while it was found to be 142.0±23.9 mEq/l (p=0.04) in the control group. The mean serum sodium level in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation was 139±14 mEq/l, whereas it was 132.0±22.5 mEq/l in patients with parox - ysmal atrial fibrillation (p=0.03). Conclusion: This study indicates that low serum sodium level might be associated with atrial fibrillation. However, to obtain accurate results, new prospective studies with more patients are needed.

Our aim was to establish the sensitivity and specificity of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in acute ischemic stroke and to compare it with S100b and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). We also intended to investigate the usefulness of a panel composed of these three biomarkers in acute ischemic stroke. Material and Methods: Consecutive adult patients who were admitted to the emergency department with focal neurological deficits were enrolled. Serum samples were obtained at the initial examination, and IMA, S100b, and NSE were measured. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the cut-off values of the biomarker and biomarker groups. Results: Serum IMA, NSE, and S100b levels were significantly higher in ischemic stroke patients (p<0.001, p=0.005, p=0.001, respectively). The optimum diag nostic cutoff point for IMA was 0.31 ABSU with 90% sensitivity and 57% specificity; 18 µg/L for NSE with 61% sensitivity and 53% specificity; and 65 pcg/l for S100b with 87% sensitivity and 72% specificity. With a combination of IMA with either S100b or NSE, instead of IMA alone, the best results were obtained with IMA and S100b, at 97% sensitivity and 37% specificity. Conclusion: This study indicates that IMA was a sensitive diagnostic biomarker in the acute phase of ischemic stroke, although its specificity is low. The combi nation of IMA with S100b and NSE did not add any beneficial effect to the specificity of IMA alone.
