Although being a refugee has been identified as a risk in the etiopathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease, we found that being a refugee in Turkey is not a negative prognostic factor for PUP.

  We aimed to compare clinical and functional outcomes between patients treated with Dynamic hip screw (DHS) and Proximal Femoral Nail-Antirotation (PFN-A) implants.
 
  This study included 122 patients (66 men [54.1%] and 56 women [45.9%]) who underwent surgery with DHS and PFN-A for an intertrochanteric femur fracture and had at least 12 months follow-up. Reduction assessment, femoral neck-shaft angle and tip-apex distance measurements were performed in early postoperative radiographs. On control visits in months 1, 3, 6 and 12, range of motion, thigh or hip pain, and Trendelenburg positivity were assessed in clinical examination and reduction assessment, femoral neck-shaft angle and tip-apex distance measurements were performed on radiographs after the union. Patients were assessed using Hip Harris Score after the union.
 
  Regardless of implant type used, mean tip-apex distance measured at the immediate postoperative period was 27.6 in patients with implant failure, whereas 21.6 in patients without, indicatir neck-shaft angle at the immediate postoperative period was less then 128 degree in all patients with implant failure and that it was ≥128 degree in 94% of patients without implant failure emphasize the importance of anatomic restoration in femur neck-shaft angle during surgery. The finding that mean tip-apex distance was 27.6 mm in patients with implant failure and 21.6 mm in patients without implant failure indicates that the technique is as important as implant type selected for treatment success of the implantation.
  Burns are a primary cause of mortality along with the severe physical and psychological morbidities in patients and their families.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/durvalumab.html  Such kinds of injuries bring about considerable financial burdens due to the treatment processes and sequels. The present study aims to investigate the factors that affect the mortality of burns.
 
  The archives files of the patients admitted because of burn injuries in our burn centre between September 2008 and December 2016 were examined in this study. Some of the lab values, such as age, sex, percentage of total burn surface area (TBSA), referral status, burning site, degree of burns, time of admission to hospital, aetiology of burning, blood and blood products collection, complete blood count, routine biochemistry, coagulation parameters, C-reactive protein (CRP), sedimentation rate, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), were examined while evaluating the patients' mortalities.
 
  A total of 133 patients were included in this study. The ion, MPV, NLR and PLR values were found to be associated with mortality in patients with burns. With this study, it is possible to produce the treatment guidelines to reduce mortality by taking these parameters into consideration, which were determined to be associated with mortality while evaluating the patients with burns.
  The present study aims to calculate completeness of the current registration system of fatal injuries in the legal Medicine Organization (LMO) and to estimate the economic burden of fatal injuries at the national level of Iran.
 
  We estimated the completeness of registered fatal injuries using a three-source capture-recapture method among the Legal Medicine Organization, health departments and Traffic police in Hamedan County (HC) from June 22, 2015 to June 21, 2016. We also estimated the economic burden of fatal injuries using Years of Life Lost (YLL) during one year. Then, using appropriate statistical methods, we generalized the estimates to the national level.
 
  There were 487 registered fatal injuries in the LMO of HC. The male to female ratio was 2.89. Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) and suicide pertained 45 and 21 percent of deaths, respectively. The completeness of fatal injuries registration was estimated at 86.9%. Based on LMO information of HC, the percentage of fatal injuries numbering errors at the national level was estimated 1.1 times that was reported by LMO in the same period (41,936 vs. 36442). YLL and the economic burden of fatal injuries were estimated 1,706,373 years and 8,692,264,432 US$ at the national level, respectively.
 
  The completeness of the current registration system of fatal injuries is good. The economic burden of fatal injuries, especially due to motor vehicle crashes in Iran, is substantial. Strategies, legislative actions, and preventive programs should be considered to decrease the number of fatal injuries in our country.

  The primary aim of this study was to present our experience on intraperitoneal rupture of the hydatid cyst in guidance of literature data.
 
  Demographical, clinical, radiological and postoperative follow-up data of 29 patients who underwent surgical treatment in our institution with an indication of intraperitoneal rupture of the hydatid cyst from January 2003 to July 2020 were analysed retropectively.
 
  Among the 29 patients with an age range of from 16 to 79 years ( median= 39, IQR=25.5), 16 were male (55.2%) and 13 were female (44.8%). Intraperitoneal rupture of the hydatid cyst was spontaneous in 21 (72.4%), traumatic in 7 (24.13%) (2 of them were iatrogenic) and was due to shotgun in one patient. Vast majority of the patients were admitted to the emergency department in the first 24 hours after the onset of sign and symptoms. WBC varied from 8.600 to 30.900/mm3 (median=12.100, IQR=5.7). Ruptured cysts were localised in liver (n=25, 86.2%), in spleen (n=2, 6.89%) or in pelvis (n=2, 6.89%) and diameter varied from 40 to 200 mm (median= 90, IQR=50).
