Differential diagnosis of the granulomatous appendicitis: Retrospective analysis of 16 cases.
This study aims to present the usability of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) in the differential diagnosis of granulomatous appendicitis (GAp), especially in areas where tuberculosis (TB) is endemic. ⋯ We believe that the use of anamnesis, histopathological findings, tissue PCR, blood IGRA and clinical findings together are important for differential diagnosis of GAp, especially where TB is endemic. We also suggest that all appendectomy specimens should be sent to the laboratory for histopathological evaluation even if specimens appear macroscopically normal.

The effects of a community-based disaster drill of simulating Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) on the knowledge and attitudes.
We evaluated the effects of community-based disaster drill of simulating disaster medical assistance team on the knowledge and the attitudes. ⋯ Disaster drills on the establishment and operation of DMAT may affect both knowledge and attitude of participants positively.

Practice GuidelineUrgent and elective proctologic/anorectal interventions in the COVID-19 pandemic: A practical guideline for treatment safety.
This article aims to give practical information and concrete suggestions on what should be considered in emergency, semi-urgent and elective settings for common anorectal diseases in the hectic period of the COVID-19 pandemic, based on early results of a series of anorectal interventions. ⋯ By adhering to the principles outlined in this practical guide, it was possible to treat most of the benign anorectal diseases safely in the initial, hectic period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Testicular torsion in the medicolegal perspective: Why is the diagnosis missing?
By examining patients with testicular torsion (TT) that caused problems in medicolegal terms, the present study aims to define markers causing medical neglect or malpractice in similar conditions and perform a retrospective examination to characterize the medical aspects of patients with TT. ⋯ Physicians should perform the required evaluations for a suitable diagnosis and treatment by putting aside their medicolegal concerns and prevent the problems by giving priority to patient health. For the correct diagnosis and proper management of TT, it is necessary to increase the information levels of physicians, and patients should be explored urgently in the event of any clinical suspicion.

Case ReportsRenal autotransplantation due to iatrogenic ureter injury: A case report.
Hardy and colleagues carried out 'Renal autotransplantation' for the first time in 1963 to treat severe ureter injury and it has evolved as a method used for complex treatment of trauma, renal artery diseases or ureteral stenosis. In case of proximal ureter injury, approximately 2/3 of which is iatrogenic, if the end-to-end anastomosis is not possible, renal autotransplantation, ileal ureter interposition or nephrectomy are alternative treatments. ⋯ These types of injuries are generally in form of simple perforations (2-6%), but from time to time ureter avulsions are also observed (0.3%). In this article, a case is presented where renal autotransplantation is made following development of ureter avulsion during ureterorenoscopy process carried out due to right ureteral calculi and treatment options are discussed in the light of literatures.
