BACKGROUND: Nonoperative management (NOM) of hemodynamically normal patients with blunt splenic injury (BSI) is the standard of care. Guidelines recommend additional splenic angioembolization (SAE) in patients with American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) Grade IV and Grade V BSI, but the role of SAE in Grade III injuries is unclear and controversial. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the safety and effectiveness of SAE as an adjunct to NOM versus NOM alone in adults with BSI.

THE RISK-FACTORS IN CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER-RELATED THROMBOSIS KOKSOY, C; KUZU, A; ERDEN, I; Akkaya, Ayşen (Wiley, 1995-11-01) Catheter-related venous thrombosis is one of the most important complications of central venous catheters. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the risk factors that may be important in the development of catheter-related thrombosis. Multiple lumen (n = 20) and single lumen (n = 24) polyurethane catheters were inserted to the subclavian vein by the infraclavicular approach in 44 consecutive patients. All variables that may be significant for the development of thrombosis related to the patient, t...
Long-term, patient-centered outcomes of lower-extremity vascular trauma Perkins, Zane B.; Yet, Barbaros; Glasgow, Simon; Marsh, D. William R.; Tai, Nigel R. M.; Rasmussen, Todd E. (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2018-07-01) OBJECTIVE: To describe the long-term outcomes of military lower-extremity vascular injuries, and the decision making of surgeons treating these injuries.
The effect of low-molecular-weight heparin on rat tendon healing Esen, Erdinç; Cıla, Erdal; Özoğul, Candan; Taşçı, Arzu Gül; Sipahioğlu, Serkan; Gemalmaz, Halil Can; Öztürk, Akif Muhtar; Doğramacı , Yunus (AVES Publishing Co., 2009) Objectives: We investigated the effect of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) on the healing of tendons. Methods: Forty-five adult Wistar rats weighing 300 g were randomized into three groups equal in number. All the rats underwent full-thickness surgical incision of the Achilles tendon followed by primary repair. After the operation, two groups received daily subcutaneous LMWH injections (nadroparin calcium) for four weeks at high or low doses (group 1, 6 mg/kg, 170 IU AXa; group II, 3 mg/kg, 85 IU AXa). ...
A QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN EVIDENCE AND SPECIFICATION KNOWLEDGE BASES OF HEALTH CARE BUILDINGS DESIGN FIELD: AN ONTOLOGY-BASED APPROACH IN TURKISH CONTEXT Alp, Ömer Faruk; Erkılıç, Mualla; Department of Architecture (2022-8-29) Attaining the highest quality is a shared goal for sub-fields of healthcare including the design of health care physical environments. Health care architects and design teams are obliged to base their design decisions on findings of empirical studies as the most privileged knowledge sources for rigorousity demanded. It results overall healthcare industry in handling the phenomenon from a rather positivist standpoint, and naming it as evidence-based design (EBD). Despite its potentials, EBD continues to emer...
Hospitalization costs and estimates of direct and indirect economic losses due to injury sustained in road traffic crashes: Results from a one-year cohort study in three European countries (The REHABILAID project) PAPADAKAKİ, Maria; Stamouli, Maria-Aggeliki; Ferraro, Ottavia E.; ORSİ, Chiara; OTTE, Dietmar; TZAMALOUKA, Georgia; VONDERGEEST, Marco; Lajunen, Timo; Özkan, Türker; MORANDİ, Anna; KOTSYFOS, Vangelis; CHLİAOUTAKİS, Joannes (SAGE Publications, 2017-10-01) Introduction: The financial cost of injuries sustained in road traffic crashes is high for victims, families and national budgets, but there is limited information on the cost of injury from the victims' perspective, especially in terms of the hard-to-reach multi-trauma patient population such as those admitted to the intensive care units of hospitals.
