Molecular Electric Multipole Moment (MEMM) integrals have been derived for diatomic molecular systems, and then some lower multipole moments as dipole moments and quadrupole moments have been calculated for some diatomic molecules. The calculations have been performed by using our analytical formula over Slater-Type orbitals (STOs) with Cade and Huo's basis sets and the GAMESS program package working with Gaussian-Type basis sets (GTOs). The expressions which involve factorials are given in terms of binomial coefficients in order to speed up calculations. The results have been obtained in agreement with data found in the literature.
Background: Kartagener syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder consisting of the triad of situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis. Although there are previous reports regarding the anaesthetic considerations in KS, none have included liver transplantation. Case Presentation: An 11-year-old boy with a diagnosis of KS underwent liver transplantation due to extrahepatic biliary atresia. Previous diagnostic imaging confirmed situs inversus and the absence of an inferior vena cava. The patient's peak airway pressure intermittently increased intraoperatively from 15 to 30 cm H 2 O due to increased pulmonary secretions, which required frequent suctioning of the endotracheal tube. Intraoperative volume resuscitation included 200 mL of 5% albumin, 5 units of erythrocyte suspension and 3 units of fresh frozen plasma. Intermittently, a norepinephrine infusion was required to maintain the MAP. Coagulation function was monitoring using the thromboelastogram to guide the use of blood products including fresh frozen plasma. At the end of the surgery, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. He was discharged from the intensive care unit on postoperative day 5, and from the hospital on postoperative day 28. He continues to do well with normal liver function 23 months after surgery. Conclusion: Despite the risk of pulmonary related to airway secretions and exacerbation of hemodynamic instability related to anatomical variations in the inferior vena cava anatomy, KS patients can be safely anesthetized with careful planning and attention of the disease process, even for complex surgical procedures such as liver transplantation.
BACKGROUND:The number of people actively participating in society has decreased following the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic as a result of the measures taken to reduce the risk of transmission, such as interruption to education, social isolation, and curfews. Accordingly, change in the etiology of emergency surgery and characteristics of patients may be expected. The current study aimed to compare emergency surgery between the COVID-19 pre-pandemic and pandemic periods and to present the data and emergency anesthesia management of patients with suspected COVID-19.
METHODS:Patients who underwent emergency surgery in our hospital between January 22 and April 29, 2020, were examined retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups: Those operated before March 11, 2020 (Group 1) and those operated from this date April 29, 2020 (Group 2). The data of the two groups were compared. Routine emergency anesthesia and surgical approach were applied to all patients in Group 1 and those without suspected COVID-19 in Group 2. Patients with suspected COVID-19 in Group 2 were treated with an algorithm created in accordance with the guidelines of official institutions and scientific associations.
RESULTS:Age, gender, chronic medical diseases, ASA classification, Mallampati score, surgical department, surgical procedures, surgical etiology, duration of surgery, and length of hospital stay were similar in both groups. The number of patients undergoing general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia was 198 (82.5%) and 42 (17.5%) for Group 1 while it was 161 (73.9%) and 57 (26.1%), respectively, for Group 2 (p=0.025).
CONCLUSION:The clinical data and surgical features of emergency patients during the pandemic were similar to those before the pandemic; however, the rate of spinal anesthesia was higher in the former. Personal protective equipment standards should be followed to prevent cross-infection among the anesthesiology team during anesthesia procedures for emergency operations. We consider that necessary emergency interventions can be safely performed and COVID-19 nosocomial infection can be prevented in the operating room by following the Ministry of Health recommendations and guidelines that are updated regularly.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections, Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections and at alcoholism can be seen. The aim of this study was to evaluate living donor liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Between patients in living donor liver transplantation for HCC were evaluated. Results: The mean patient age was 58.0 (9.9) (20-74) years; 31 (81.6%) of the 38 were male. The mean MELD score was 14.2 (8-32). Outside Milan criteria (P=0.003), poorly differentiated and cholangiocarcinoma tumor component (P=0.003) appears to be worse in living donor liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusions: In this study, outside Milan criteria, poorly differentiated and cholangiocarcinoma tumor component appears to be worse in living donor liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma. Öz Amaç: Hepatosellür karsinom (HCC) karaciğerin en sık görülen primer solid tümörüdür. Hepatit B virus (HBV) enfeksiyonları, hepatit C virus (HCV) enfeksiyonları veya alkolizm zemininde de görülebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, HCC nedeniyle canlı vericili karaciğer nakli yapılan hastaların değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntemler: Retrospektif kohort çalışma planlandı. Nisan 2014 -Aralık 2017 tarihleri arasında Medipol Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Organ Nakli Merkezi'nde HCC nedeniyle canlı vericili karaciğer nakli yapılan 38 hasta değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ortalama yaş 58,0 (9,9) (20-74) yıldı; 38 kişiden 31'i (%81,6) erkekti. Ortalama MELD skoru 14,2 (8-32) idi. Milan kriterleri dışında (P=0,003), kötü farklılaşmış ve kolanjiokarsinom tümör bileşeni (P=0,003), olan hepatosellüler karsinomda canlı vericili karaciğer naklinde daha kötü görünmektedir. Sonuçlar: Bu çalışmada Milan dışı, az differansiye ve kolanjiokarsinom komponenti olan tümörlerin daha kötü olduğu görünmektedir.
