However, the current risk classification model for estimating NOAF during non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) remains unclear. Some parameters in the CHA2DS2-VASc score are closely related to the development of atrial fibrilation (AF). Methods: This retrospective study was conducted among 670 consecutive NSTEMI patients who applied to our cardiovascular center between June 2020 and June 2022 and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Results: NOAF developed during hospitalization in 55 patients (12.5%). NOAF patients were older and had higher high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), left atrial volume index, Post PCI thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade <3, CHA2DS2-VASc score, peak troponin I (ng/ml), and SYNTAX score (SS). After univariate logistic regression analysis for the predictors of NOAF development, CHA2DS2-VASc score, post PCI TIMI grade <3, hemoglobin, hsCRP, SS alone were predictors of NOAF, but after multivariate analysis, CHA2DS2-VASc score, post PCI TIMI grade <3, hemoglobin had a determining effect. Conclusions: The CHA2DS2-VASc score can be evaluated as a predictor of NOAF after PCI in NSTEMI. Except for the components of the CHA2DS2-VASc score, post PCI TIMI grade <3 and low hemoglobin levels are independent risk factors for NSTEMI-NOAF.","PeriodicalId":8248,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Medical Research","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134980766","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}

Oxidative stress and inflammation are the major pathomechanisms of Mtx-induced nephrotoxicity. Alamandine (Ala), a new member of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), is an important peptide with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities. In this study, it was investigated whether Ala ameliorates Mtx-induced kidney damage by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar albino rats were assigned into three groups: control group, Mtx group, and Mtx+Ala group. At the end of the experiment, kidney tissues were quickly removed. Glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured to determine the oxidative state in kidney tissues. In addition, tissue samples were assessed as histopathological and immunohistochemical for heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), caspase-3, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3). Results: Mtx treatment resulted in reduced GSH content, elevated MDA level, increased heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), and caspase-3 expression. These changes in kidney tissues of rats treated with Mtx triggered oxidative stress characterized by apoptosis and kidney damage. Mtx also markedly increased the expression of TNF-α, an inflammation marker, and RIPK3, a marker of necroptosis. However, Ala administration significantly alleviated Mtx-induced kidney damage by reducing apoptosis and necroptosis by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation. Conclusion: Taken together, our results support that Ala treatment can serve as a new and promising therapeutic strategy against Mtx-induced nephrotoxicity.

The rapid technological developments and the change in socio-cultural structures have caused an increase in chemical substances in homes, and the easy access of children to these chemicals has increased the possibility of poisoning. We aimed to make a retrospective analysis of patients with a diagnosis of poisoning hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Materials and methods: The current clinical study is a retrospective, observational, single-center study and contains children adopted to the tertiary PICU of the 16-bed Batman Training and Research Hospital between March 2021 and March 2022 with a diagnosis of acute poisoning. Results: Forty patients were female (56.3%), and 31 patients were male (43.7%). All patients were admitted to the intensive care unit for advanced and supportive treatment. Supportive treatment was sufficient for 42 patients (59.2%).

No mortality was observed, but some patients progressed morbidly and needed a mechanical ventilator and inotropic agent support. Conclusion: No mortality was observed, but some patients progressed morbidly and needed mechanical ventilatory support and inotropic agents. For this reason, the physician who first encounters the patient in the emergency department should evaluate each patient and the poison separately.","PeriodicalId":8248,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Medical Research","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86932800","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}

Correct and early treatment is important in mandible fractures. The aim of this study is to retrospectively examine and analyze the patterns and treatment methods of mandibular fractures seen in patients admitted with trauma. Methods: Patients treated for mandible fractures between 2006- 2021 years were included in this retrospective study. The files and archive records of the patients were scanned retrospectively. Demographic, clinical and radiological data were recorded. The treatment methods of the patients included in the study were evaluated. Results: 176 patients with a total of 246 fractures were included to the study. Simple fractures were found in 130 patients, green tree fractures in 12 patients, and comminuted fractures in 34 patients. There were 147 un-favorable and 29 favorable fractures in total. Fall was found to be the most common etiologic cause in all gender and age groups (n=55, 31.2%). Angle fracture was observed most frequently in single fracture cases, while condyle fracture was the most common accompanying fracture type in multiple fractures. 88 patients were treated with the open and, 56 with the closed approach, and 32 with both the open and closed approach.
