Acute abdominal pain due to wandering spleen torsion: A case report

A wandering spleen is a rare condition that can cause spleen torsion. The main structures that provide the normal anatomic site stabilization of the spleen are splenorenal, gastrosplenic and splenocolic ligaments (1). The wandering spleen is the result of congenital maldevelopment, laxity or absence of these ligaments. Spleen torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain that leads to splenic infarction (2,3). In this case, we aimed to present the spleen torsion at a mid-aged woman, and the role of ultrasonography (US) and computerized tomography (CT) in diagnosis.

Erythema Multiforme; Sixty Six Case Series with Review of Literature

Erythema multiforme (EM) is an acute, selflimited, and sometimes recurrent skin disease considered to be a hypersensitivity reaction associated with certain medications and infections (1). EM has recently been recognized as a distinct disease differentiated from the Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) (2). However, epidemiological data on EM are limited mainly due to the acute course of the disease and the lack of a universally accepted classification system. Nevertheless, accumulating evidence indicates that the prevalence of EM is less than 1% and the disease mostly affects women between 20 and 40 years of age (3).

Can different fatty acid contents in propofol formulations change bacterial growth?

two different propofol formulation agents (2, 6-diisopropylphenol) have frequently been used in general anesthesia and sedation. they have the same chemical structure, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic characteristics, clinical use, and administration methods (1). Propofol 1% contains 10% soybean oil, 2.25% glycerol, and 1.2% purified egg phosphatide (2). the lipid carriers in propofol are 10% long-chain fatty acids (Lct). However, the lipid carriers in Propofol-Lipuro include 5% medium-chain fatty acids (Mcts)/5% Lcts and 2.5% glycerol (3).

Prognostic Usage of Lactate Levels in Patients with Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Amac: Ust GIS kanamali hastalarin risk siniflandirilmasinda en cok Glasgow Blatchford Skoru (GBS) ve Rockall Skoru kullanilmaktadir.Bu skorlama sistemlerinin hicbirinde serum laktat seviyesi kullanilmamaktadir. Laktat seviyesi travma ve sepsis dahil cesitli sok durumlarinda mortalite beliryecisidir. Calismamizin amaci ust GIS kanamali hastalarda serum laktat seviyesinin prognostik amacli kullanimini arastirmaktir. Materyal ve Metot: 1 Mayis 2015 ve 31 Mayis 2016 tarihleri arasinda, ust gastrointestinal sistem (GIS) kanamasi tanisi konmus 18 yas ve ustu hastalar calismaya alindi. Hastalarin yas, cinsiyet, acil servis kabulundeki hemoglobin ve laktat degeri, kan transfuzyon ihtiyaci, kronik hastaliklari ve GBS degerleri veri formuna kaydedildi. Kan transfuzyon ve yogun bakim ihtiyaci ile laktat duzeyi arasindaki iliski arastirildi. Degiskenlerin analizinde SPSS 22.0 (IBM Corparation, Armonk, New York, United States) programi kullanildi. Bulgular: Calismaya 78 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalarin 27’si (%34,6) kadin, 51’i (65,4) erkekti. Yas ortalamasi 67,6±17,75 (min: 22, max: 100) olarak saptandi. Kan transfuzyonu yapilan hastalarin median laktat degeri 2,2 mmol/L, kan transfuzyonu yapilmayan hastalarin median laktat degeri 1,9 mmol/L olarak bulundu. Bu fark istatiksel olarak anlamli bulunmadi (p=0,450). Servise yatan hastalarin median laktat degeri 1,9 mmol/L, yogun bakima yatan hastalarin median laktat degeri 3,9 mmol/L bulundu. Bu iki grup arasindaki fark istatiksel olarak anlamli bulundu (p=0,038). Sonuc: Ust GIS kanamali hastalarda yogun bakim ve servis yatislari ile laktat duzeyi arasinda anlamli iliski saptanmisken; kan transfuzyonu alan ve almayan hastalar arasinda laktat duzeyi acisindan anlamli bir iliski saptanmamistir
