6%). No technical mistake was found in 72 (77.4%) patients, and the tick was detached as a whole, while detached broken in 15 (16.1%) patients, and the tick was detached as a whole, but the sutures were attached wrong in six (6.5%) patients. Tick broken off due to technical mistakes was most commonly seen in the ticks removed by the individuals themselves. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that when appropriately and correctly used, both suture lassoing and tweezers are effective in tick removal. Public awareness-raising and training programs should be increased on this issue.Background The present study aims to observe the effects of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) on small intestines at a molecular level and to prospectively assess the potential preventive role of adalimumab (ADA) and antioxidants. Methods A total of 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups-a control group, an IR group and an IR+ADA group. Results Although there was no change in SOD levels in the small bowel tissue of the IR group, we observed increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and increased numerical density of caspase-3 and TNF-α positive enterocytes p=0.00 and p=0.00, respectively). We also observed that IR caused the degeneration of villus crypt structures. Conclusion We found that ADA treatment reduced MDA levels and decreased the numerical density of caspase-3 and TNF-α positive enterocytes compared to the IR group (p=0.00; p=0.011; p=0.00, respectively). We conclude that ADA can be beneficial in preventing intestinal injury that arises from IR.Background The debate continues concerning surgical timing in a peripheral nerve injury. This study aims to evaluate the result of immediate versus delayed primary (after seven days) repair of peripheral nerve injury. Methods In this study, Wistar rats were divided into four groups as follows The nerve was sharply transected in Group 1, 2 and 4. It was immediately sutured in Group 1 and sutured seven days later in Group 2, and it was not sutured in Group 4. In Group 3, the left sciatic nerve was only explored. Eight weeks later, tissue samples were extracted from the injured nerve area. Both gastrocnemius muscles were weighed. The nerve samples were examined for axon degeneration. Myelin vacuolization, axon irregularity, and edema/inflammation parameters were evaluated. Results There were not any significant differences in the score of axon degeneration and the weight of the gastrocnemius muscle between the immediate and delayed primary repair groups. However, these parameters were significantly better in both repair groups than to be in the control group and significantly worse than to be in the sham-operated group. Conclusion To delay the repair about one week did not affect the histological results and weight of the muscle that was innervated by the sectioned nerve comparing to be in the immediate repair in a sciatic nerve transaction model in rats.Background This study aimed to examine the relationships between the initial anatomic severity of hand, wrist and forearm injuries, as evaluated by the Modified Hand Injury Severity Score (MHISS), and each of the following parameters disability rating and time to return to work. Methods In this study, 94 patients who underwent operations due to acute hand, wrist and forearm injuries were included. MHISS was used to assess the severity of the injury. Disability rates of the patients were calculated six months after injury in accordance with the 'Regulation on Disability Criteria, Classification and Health Board Reports to be Given to Disabled People'. The time to return to work was defined as the length of time (in days) between the injury and the patient's return to work. Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed to analyse correlations between the MHISS and each of the following disability rates and time to return to work. Results The mean overall MHISS was 125.23 (5-880). The mean overall upper extremity disability ratio (UEDR) was 17.64±22.6 (range 0-94), and the mean overall total body disability ratio (TBDR) was 10.57±13.45 (range 0-56). Among the study population, 87 (92.6%) patients were able to return to their jobs. The mean overall time to return to work was 138.69 (range 35-365 days). A statistically significant correlation was found between MHISS and UEDR, TBDR and time to return to work and UEDR, TBDR (p less then 0.001). Conclusion As a result, as the initial injury severity increased, greater disability remained and the time to return to work increased. Predicting prognosis by determining the injury severity in the initial evaluation of patients may be important in predicting a patient's future permanent disability level, which can contribute to maintaining patient expectations at a reasonable level, thereby aiding in psychosocial support.Intraabdominal vascular injuries due to blunt abdominal trauma are rare. Buloxibutid order It is very difficult to visualize superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and portal vein injuries under emergency conditions. In this case study, we reported a low-speed car accident, a patient with isolated SMV injury as a result of a blunt abdominal trauma that arose from a collision with a steering wheel. A 62-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with minimal distention and diffuse tenderness in the abdomen. The presence of diffuse fluid in the abdomen and suspected liver injury were reported in ultrasonography. The presence of fluid in perihepatic and perisplenic areas was detected in abdominal tomography. No solid organ injury was observed. Laparotomy revealed an injury in the small intestine mesentery. There was a defect on SMV under splenic vein combination. End side vein anastomosis and primary repair were performed. During six months follow-up, the patient did not have active complaints, and there was no pathology in the SMV and portal vein. We think that the use of vascular repair techniques applied by experienced surgeons in hemodynamically stable superior mesenteric venous injuries is important concerning continuity of anatomical and functional integrity.Background This study aimed to investigate the role of computed tomography (CT) in identifying missed unstable blunt cervical injuries. Methods Patients admitted to the emergency department between June 2014 and June 2018 with a diagnosis of blunt cervical trauma were included in this study. All participants underwent cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after an initial cervical CT investigation. All imaging results were reviewed, and decisions were taken by the consensus of a team consisting of an emergency medicine specialist, a neuroradiologist, and a neurosurgeon. Other variables included age, sex, the Glasgow Coma Scale, medical comorbidities, multi-trauma, neurological deficits, accompanying intracranial hemorrhage, extremity fractures, and the mechanism of the injury. Results Data for 195 patients were analyzed. The mean (±standard deviation) age of the participants was 47.34±21.90 years, and 140 (71.8%) were males. Eighteen patients (9.2%) were below age less then 18. The most frequent mechanism of injury was fall from height (n=100; 51.
