Background Although pilonidal sinus disease is common, development of associated malignancy is very rare. After surgical treatment, most surgeons send the excision material for a histopathological examination. The aim of this study was to examine whether it is necessary to routinely send the pilonidal sinus surgical excision material for this examination. Method The data of 3146 patients were retrospectively screened, and 2486 patients with available histopathological reports of the excision material were included in the study. Results Of the 2486 patients included in the study, 2165 were men and 321 were women, and 94.7% of the patients were under the age of 50 years while 5.3% were 50 years or above. The rate of patients who underwent surgery due to recurrence was 1.2%. No malignancy was detected in any patient after the histopathological examination. Discussion In this study, none of the pathology results was reported as malignant. This confirms that it is necessary to ask the question whether we should routinely send the surgical excision material for a histopathological examination.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate seasonal effects on the mechanisms of burn injuries in patients requiring hospitalization. Material and Methods: A retrospective evaluation was made using the information of 419 hospitalized burns patients, including demographic data, degree and percentage of burn injury, cause and mechanism of burn injury, morbidity and mortality. Burn mechanisms were grouped as thermal burns (flame, boiling liquid, contact), chemical burns and electrical burns. When calculating the percentage of body surface area burned, the rule of nines was applied. Seasonal classification was made appropriate to the northern hemisphere. Results: According to the seasons, the most burns were seen in spring months (n= 130, 31.0%). In the examination of the mechanism of burn injury, the most common type of injury was boiling liquid in 159 patients followed by flame injury in 146 patients. There was an increase in electrical and chemical burns in spring and summer. A statistically significant difference was determined between the types of burns according to the seasons (p= 0.024). The burn injury occurred as a result of a workplace accident in 82 cases, the majority of which were in autumn, and summer, and the difference in the seasons was determined to be statistically significant (p= 0.045). There was a statistically significant increase in the exposure of individuals aged >65 years to boiling liquid burns in winter and summer months (p= 0.014). Conclusion: The results of this study showed a seasonal effect on the types of burn injuries. A higher rate of thermal burns was expected to be found in winter, but this was not the case in patients with indications for hospitalization, as chemical and electrical burns in workplace accidents were seen more frequently in warmer seasons of spring and summer. In this context, burns units should be prepared for patient profiles to vary according to the season.
Son yıllarda sistemik inflamasyon skor (SIS) ve modifiye sistemik inflamasyon skor (mSIS) gibi skorların kolorektal kanserlerde prognostik ve prediktif değerleri araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, basit labaratuvar testleri ile hesaplanan modifiye sistemik inflamatuar skorun (mSIS) high grade displazili (HGD) kolon poliplerinde invaziv karsinom varlığını öngörmedeki etkinliği araştırıldı. Gereç ve YöntemOcak 2019 -Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında preoperatif HGD tanısıyla opere edilen 44 kolorektal polipli hastanın postoperatif verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastalar postoperatif histopatolojik inceleme sonuçlarına göre HGD, Tis veya adenomatöz polip ve invaziv karsinom olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. mSIS hesaplaması; mSIS 0 [albümin (ALB) ≥ 4.0 g/dL ve lenfosit/monosit oranı (LMR) ≥ 3.4], mSIS 1 (ALB <4.0 g / dL veya LMR <3.4) ve mSIS 2 (ALB <4.0 g / dL ve LMR <3.4) şeklinde yapıldı.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
