Investıgatıon of clınıcal and pathologıcal fındıngs due to anatomıcal localızatıon ın patıents wıth colorectal cancer.
We classified anatomical localisation tumours of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and undergoing surgery as right and left colon and we aimed to determine how this funding affects the prognosis of the disease and survival times. ⋯ We are thinking that in colorectal cancer, the anatomical localisation of the tumour can hold an important place to determine the clinical differences such as, the disease symptoms, course, treatment options and survival status.

Prognostic Value of Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in Cardiogenic Shock complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction: A cohort Study.
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is the most severe complication after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with mortality above 50%. Inflammatory response is involved in the pathology of CS and AMI. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of admission neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with CS complicating AMI. ⋯ Admission NLR could be used as an important tool for short-term prognostic evaluation in patients with CS complicating AMI and higher NLR is an independent predictor for increased 30-day all-cause mortality and MACE.

The significance of heart failure in hospitalized patients with pulmonary embolism. A gender-specific analysis.
Heart failure (HF) is a risk factor for the development of pulmonary embolism (PE). Few studies have examined sex differences in risk of PE among HF patients. ⋯ Adjusted incidence of PE was higher in HF patients than in those without HF. After PSM suffering, HF was associated to higher IHM in men and women. Women with PE and HF had lower IHM than men with these conditions.

How Did Radiologists' Diagnostic Performance Has Changed in Covid-19 Pneumonia: a Single Centre Retrospective Study.
Delay and false positivity in PCR test results have necessitated accurate chest CT reporting for the management of patients with COVID-19-suspected symptoms. Pandemic related workload and level of experience on covid-dedicated chest CT scans might have affected the diagnostic performance of on-call radiologists. The aim of this study was to reveal the interpretation errors (IEs) in chest CT reports of COVID-19-suspected patients admitted to the Emergency Room (ER). ⋯ COVID-19 pandemic made a great impact on radiology departments with an inevitable burden of daily chest CT reporting. This workload and concomitant factors have effects on diagnostic challenges in COVID-19 pneumonia.
