Role of increased immature granulocyte percentage in the early prediction of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
Acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) is the most severe form of acute pancreatitis (AP), and it has high mortality rates. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are of critical importance for the prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of immature granulocyte percentage (IG%) in the early prediction of ANP. ⋯ Increased IG% is a simple, fast, and effective marker in the early prediction of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

Role of computed tomography tractography in evaluation of back/flank stab wounds.
The clinical approach to back/flank wounds has evolved over the years. The aim of this study was to discuss the potential of computed tomography tractography in patients with a stab wound to the back or flank. ⋯ The addition of tractography to computed tomography is a safe, fast, and cost- and time-effective technique to evaluate back/flank stab wounds.

Neuroendocrine tumor of the appendix: Twelve years of results from a single institution.
The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors (NET) in an acute appendicitis cohort, as well as to investigate the behavioral form of the tumor. Our secondary aim was to investigate survival in patients with appendiceal NET. ⋯ The incidence of appendiceal NET in our study is consistent with that stated in the literature. The results of our research suggest that further surgical procedures for NETs that occur coincidentally in patients of the AA cohort are often unnecessary. In addition, the study revealed that disease-free survival (100%) was good over a mean follow-up of 59.2 months.

Comparison of subacute and delayed free flap reconstruction in the treatment of open lower extremity fractures.
Although early free flap coverage for lower extremity traumatic defects has been recommended by several authors, it is often not practical due to associated patient injuries or logistics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of subacute and delayed surgical timing on flap success. ⋯ Both subacute and delayed reconstruction for lower extremity traumatic defects can be performed with favorable results with appropriate wound preparation and precise preoperative planning.

Penetrating keratoplasty in patients with traumatic corneal scarring.
To evaluate the results of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) due to trauma-related corneal scarring. ⋯ In cases of eye injuries due to trauma, the eyes subjected to combined vitrectomy and PK had poor visual prognosis and high graft rejection rate compared to those subjected to PK as the only treatment.
