This study will support the development of strategies for poisoning prevention measures by comparing the data in our region with other data in the world.\u0000Methods: This study is a single-centered, retrospective study. The baseline status of acute poisoning was defined in pediatric patients aged one month to 18 years who required intensive care hospitalization between November 2017 and March 2022. \u0000Results: There were 148 patient admissions due to acute poisonings (5.2% of all admissions, 69.6% females, median age: 13.6 months). Our study revealed that acute poisoning in children is caused mainly by pharmacological (88.5%), oral intake (97.3%) and at home (85.8%). It was observed that intoxication peaked at two different ages; the first peak was at preschool (33.1%), and the second peak was at adolescence (58.7%). In the univariate analysis, females (odds ratio [OR]=4.1), adolescents (OR=167.6), psychiatric drug users (OR=55.5), and multiple drug intoxications (OR=3.6) were associated with more suicides. Being adolescents and using psychiatric medication contributed significantly to suicide attempts in multivariate analysis (OR=145.3 and OR=37.9). None of our patients died.\u0000Conclusions: Preventing both poisoning and suicide attempts is the most critical priority. However, we suggest prevention strategies should be strengthened even if mortality is not observed. Furthermore, our study shows that suicide attempts are very likely to be repeated, especially if an underlying psychiatric illness exists.","PeriodicalId":22571,"journal":{"name":"The European Research Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81858033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our aim in this study is to investigate the relationship between uric acid/ albumin ratio and coronary slow flow. \u0000Methods: One hundred and five coronary slow flow patients (determined by the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction-frame count method) and one-hundred patients with normal coronary low were included retrospectively. The uric acid/ albumin ratio was investigated in all patients participating. \u0000Results: In the logistic regression analysis, it was revealed that high uric acid levels, uric acid/ albumin ratios, and male gender were independent predictors for coronary slow flow. Among these parameters, the uric acid/ albumin ratio was the best predictor of coronary slow flow. Based on the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, the cut-off value of uric acid/ albumin ratio ≥ 0.57 was found to predict coronary slow flow with 68.3% sensitivity and 68.7% specificity. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, high uric acid levels (OR: 2.22; 95% CI (1.551-3.200), p < 0.001), high serum uric acid/ albumin ratio (OR: 37.7 95% CI (8.176-234.387), p < 0.001), male gender (OR: 0.157; 95% CI (0.078-0.318), p < 0.001) were independent predictors of coronary slow flow. \u0000Conclusions: High uric acid/ albumin ratio was detected as an independent predictor for coronary slow flow.

The study assessed Celecoxib's potential to mitigate the harmful impacts of sepsis on lung tissue. \u0000Methods: Thirty male Wistar albino rats, divided into three groups: a normal control group, a sepsis-induced group treated with saline, and a sepsis-induced group treated with Celecoxib. Sepsis was induced using fecal intraperitoneal injection (FIP), followed by a one-hour administration of Celecoxib at 50 mg/kg/day to the treatment group. Biochemical analysis of lung tissue measured oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde [MDA]) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (Tumor Necrosis Faftor-α [TNF-α]). Histopathological examination evaluated lung tissue damage, encompassing alveolar congestion, hemorrhage, inflammatory cell aggregation, and edema. Arterial blood gas analysis quantified partial oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) pressures.\u0000Results: Celecoxib-treated rats exhibited reduced oxidative stress markers with lower MDA levels, indicating decreased oxidative damage in lung tissue. Moreover, TNF-α and other pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly reduced in lung tissues of Celecoxib-treated rats, indicating its anti-inflammatory effects. Histopathological examination revealed reduced lung tissue damage in Celecoxib-treated rats, including alveolar congestion, hemorrhage, and inflammatory cell aggregation. Arterial blood gas analysis showed improved oxygenation (PaO2) in the Celecoxib-treated group compared to untreated sepsis rats.\u0000Conclusions: Celecoxib demonstrated preventive effects against sepsis-induced lung injury in rats by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby preserving lung tissue integrity—further research, including clinical trials, to validate its effectiveness and safety in human sepsis management.","PeriodicalId":22571,"journal":{"name":"The European Research Journal","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77571925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence of nuchal cord was determined in the study group. The characteristics and perinatal outcomes of groups with and without nuchal cord were compared. Chi-square test was used for statistical evaluation. A p value less than 0.05 was considered significant in the evaluation.\u0000Results: The rate of cord entanglement in the neck at birth was 15.7%. There was no statistically significant difference between the infant weights, genders, maternal ages, hospitalization rates in the neonatal intensive care unit, and apgar scores at the 1st and 5th minutes of the babies included in the study. We detected amniotic fluid with meconium in 506 (13.1%) patients with a nuchal cord and 270 (1.3%) without a nuchal cord, and the difference was found to be significant. \u0000Conclusions: There is no significant relationship between vaginal deliveries with the nuchal cord and poor perinatal outcomes, except for meconium amniotic fluid. For this reason, pregnant women diagnosed with nuchal cord in the third trimester can deliver vaginally, but they should be carefully monitored in terms of meconium and related complications. However, neonates with nuchal cord do not have significantly longer neonatal hospital stays, and thus the adverse effects of nuchal cord may be transient.","PeriodicalId":22571,"journal":{"name":"The European Research Journal","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86681341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, we also examined early warning signs for predicting severe MIS-C patients requiring admission to intensive care unit (ICU).\u0000Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients presenting to the PED with suspected MIS-C. Patient records were assessed for initial complaints, physical examination findings, laboratory and ımaging test results, diagnoses, and follow-up plans. Patients diagnosed with MIS-C were categorized as the MIS-C group, while others were categorized as the non-MIS-C group. Comparisons were made between these two groups.\u0000Results: A total of 266 patients were included, with 68 diagnosed with COVID-19-associated MIS-C, including 20 monitored in the pediatric ICU. MIS-C patients had higher mean age, hospitalization, and ICU admission rates compared to non-MIS-C. MIS-C group showed higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms, hematological involvement, and shock. We observed lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, hyponatremia, and elevated levels of blood C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, triglycerides, troponin, Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), D-dimer, and fibrinogen in the MIS-C group. ICU patients had higher procalcitonin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, troponin, BNP, and ferritin levels, and lower sodium levels.\u0000Conclusions: COVID-19-associated MIS-C group had higher rates of respiratory symptoms, hematological involvement, and shock. Lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated CRP, and D-dimer can guide MIS-C differential diagnosis. Additional tests (procalcitonin, troponin, BNP, triglycerides, ferritin) are recommended for high-suspicion cases.
