A 10-year retrospective analysis of intimate partner violence patients in the emergency department.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important human rights problem faced by one in three women worldwide. The aim of this study is to evaluate the demographic, trauma, and radiological characteristics of patients admitted to a tertiary emer-gency department due to IPV. ⋯ Female patients are more frequently exposed to IPV. Specific injury characteristics can be detected in patients diagnosed with IPV and old fractures detected in these patients should alert the clinician about IPV.

Open Double-Button Technique is Superior to Hook Plate in the Treatment of Acute Rockwood Type III/V Acromioclavicular Dislocations.
The aim of this study is to compare open double-button (DB) and hook plate (HP) techniques in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation (ACJD) in terms of clinical and radiological outcomes and to determine which method is superior. ⋯ DB was superior to HP in functional outcome, post-operative pain, complication and reoperation rates, operation and fluoroscopy times, and time to return to work. Besides, reoperation (for IR) was needed in most of the HP patients. Therefore, the open DB technique should be preferential to the HP procedure.

An investigation into the predictive role of serum inflammatory parameters in the diagnosis of complicated acute cholecystitis.
Gallbladder gangrene and perforation are an important complication of acute calculous cholecystitis and are dif-ficult to detect preoperatively. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate whether serum inflammatory parameters are predictive factors for complicated cholecystitis (CC). ⋯ WBC, CRP, and NLR are valuable biochemical markers in predicting complicated AC. Advanced age may be a help-ful predictive factor for CC. These factors may be helpful in making an early cholecystectomy decision.

Case ReportsVertebral arteriovenous fistula due to blunt neck trauma: A case report.
The arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) of the vertebral artery are usually caused by iatrogenic and penetrating traumas. Vertebral AVF is rarely seen after blunt cervical trauma. A 65-year-old male patient applied to the emergency clinic due to falling from a height of about 3 m. ⋯ There were no complications related to the procedure. Transverse foramen should be carefully evaluated, especially in the upper cervical trauma. Vertebral artery imaging should be performed before instability surgery in the presence of a separation in the fracture line to determine whether the damage to the vertebral artery is iatrogenic.

Is emergency gastrointestinal system tumor surgery safe under treatment of antitrombotics?
The use of antitrombotic (antiaggregant and anticoagulant) drugs is increasing all over the world and in our coun-try. About 12.6% of patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery receive antitrombotic therapy for various reasons, and in this study, we aimed to demonstrate the safe feasibility of elective or emergency gastrointestinal tumor surgery with the correct perioperative antitrombotic therapy management. ⋯ In tertiary centers with high clinical experience, elective and emergency gastrointestinal system tumour surgery can be safely performed under antitrombotic therapy without increasing the thromboembolic risk.
