Endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (EPSiT) in the pediatric age group: Short-term results.
This study aims to evaluate the short term outcomes of the Endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment (EPSiT) in the pediatric age group. ⋯ EPSiT is an easily applicable, pain-free minimal invasive procedure with a short period of hospital stay and a fast return to routine daily activity. It provides comfortable and repeatable intervention in cases with recurrences after the EPSiT procedure and other methods for PS treatment.

The effects of the early and ultra-early intervention on the outcome in aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The optimal timing of intervention for aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage is one of the historically controversial issues in neurosurgery. Although numerous studies investigated the subject, they had many limitations due to the nature of the disease. Early and ultra-early interventions have gained more and more supporters in recent decades. Nevertheless, the effects of the early and ultra-early intervention on the outcome of the disease are far from clarity. ⋯ This study supports the growing trend toward early or ultra-early intervention in aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Our findings showed that both early and ultra-early interventions have positive effects on the outcome in poor-grade aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. Future studies with more homogenized and larger samples should be realized to clarify the optimal timing of intervention for aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.

An investigation into the factors predicting acute appendicitis and perforated appendicitis.
To investigate the factors predicting acute appendicitis (AAp) and perforated AAp in patients who underwent surgery with a preliminary diagnosis of AAp. ⋯ We believe that predicting both AAp and perforation will help the clinician evaluate patients who applied to the emergency unit with presumed diagnosis AAp. This approach will also contribute to reducing the negative appendectomy and perforation rates.

Comparative StudyComparison between prognostic indicators in organ insufficiency with acute pancreatitis.
Organ failures that develop due to acute pancreatitis (AP), some laboratory values and the anthropometric characteristics of the patients have been shown to play a role in the prognosis AP and have been increasingly used to investigate the prognosis of the disease although classification systems, such as Ranson's criteria, are still used habitually. In this stud, we aimed to investigate the relationship of the organ failures observed during the course of AP, the biochemical parameters and the anthropometric characteristics of the patients and compare using Ranson's and Atlanta Classifica-tion (AC) systems. ⋯ In conclusion, to determine the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis, and ex-pect the organ failures that may occur in severe pancreatitis, the body mass index, waist circumference and laboratory values, including cholesterol, triglycerides, ALT, and CRP may supply important prog-nostic data besides the conventional disease severity scoring methods.

Anterior odontoid screw fixation using Acutrak screw: Report of 19 patients.
This paper aims to present clinical and radiological results of patients who underwent anterior odontoid screw fixation (AOSF). ⋯ Acutrak screws can be used for AOSF. This study contains the maximum number of patients using the Acutrak screw in the literature. However, larger prospective clinical studies can provide more accurate information about the effectiveness of the Acutrak screws for odontoid fractures.
