The relationship between the ratio of interpedicular distance increase and the ratio of spinal canal compromise in thoracolumbar burst fractures.
The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the interpedicular distance increase ratio and the ratio of canal compromise in thoracolumbar burst fractures. ⋯ Depending on the correlation coefficients which were obtained in this study: To predict the canal compromise from the ratio of interpedicular distance increase is not a reliable method for all of the patients.

Case ReportsTrauma-induced capillary leak syndrome after penetrating chest injury: Manifestation of massive ascites and pulmonary secretions aggravated by transfusion.
Trauma with prolonged shock can cause systemic capillary leak syndrome regardless of the site of injury and a transfusion can aggravate it. The systemic capillary leak induces both an abdominal compartment syndrome and pulmonary edema, and a transfusion can aggra-vate these sequelae within hours. In our case, 21-year-old man with a penetrating injury in his left thorax experienced delay in rescue and definitive surgery. ⋯ After temporary abdominal closure, he was moved to the intensive care unit and underwent venovenous extracorporeal membranous oxygenation. He recovered without any notable complications. It is important to prevent and correct the shock rapidly by appropriate rescue, controlling the source and infusing less amount of crystalloid and transfusion.

Relationship between SIRI, SII values, and Alvarado score with complications of acute appendicitis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical variations of Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), Systemic Inflammation Index (SII), and Alvarado Score during the COVID-19 pandemic period. ⋯ Based on the results obtained from this study, we conclude that COVID-19 pandemic has caused an increase in patients with acute appendicitis admitted to the hospital. This late diagnosis of acute appendicitis caused more complications during COVID-19 pandemic. Alvarado score, SIRI, and SII can be used as a marker to indicate whether complications of acute appendicitis occurred pre- or post-operatively. Therefore, Alvarado score, SIRI, and SII are directly proportional to the complication of acute appendicitis.

Does plate-screw density affect the functional outcomes in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures?
The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between plate-screw density (PSD), functional results, and complication rates in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) with proximal humerus locking anatomical plate (PHLAP). ⋯ Functional results of PSD >60% are higher than PSD <60% group but there is no statistical difference between groups according to functional, radiological results, and complications.

Elderly burns: Clinical frailty scale and functional ambulation classification in predicting prognosis.
The study was to investigate the role of mobility and frailty in predicting the prognosis of elderly burns along with the burn severity. ⋯ The percentage of elderly burns is low, yet the mortality is high in these patients which emphasize the importance of elderly burns. The ABSI is of great help, but ambulation status and comorbid diseases should be taken into consideration in terms of elderly burns. The current study demonstrated that FAC and CFS will be helpful to better predict the outcomes of elderly burn patients along with ABSI.
