GirişDünya Sağlık Örgütü (WHO) tarafından eksiklik, "psikolojik, fizyolojik veya anatomik bir yapı veya fonksiyonun kaybı ya da anormalliği"; maluliyet ise, "bu eksiklik ile ilişkili olarak ortaya çıkan bir sakatlık, herhangi bir kısıtlama ya da bir şekilde bir insan için normal sayılan ölçüler dâhilinde bir faaliyet gerçekleştirme yeteneği olmaması hali" olarak tanımlanmıştır (1). Akkurt, vücudun veya ÖZET Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Van ilinde maluliyet muayenesi için başvuran 548 olguya ait raporların geriye dönük değerlendirilmesinin yapılarak, Van ilindeki maluliyet olguların profillerinin belirlenmesi ve daha önce ülkemizde yapılan çalışmalarda rastlamadığımız üzere maluliyet oranları ile yaş ve cinsiyetin arasında istatistiksel bir ilişki olup olmadığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler:Çalışmamızda 01.01.2014 tarihinden, 31.12.2015 tarihine kadar olan 2 yıllık dönemde müracaat etmiş 548 kişiye ait maluliyet raporları geriye dönük olarak incelenmiş; bu olgular olay türü, yaş, cinsiyet, yaralanmanın meydana geldiği ay ve yıl, yaralanmanın meydana geldiği bölge, maluliyete esas teşkil eden veya maluliyete mahal olmayacak vücut bölgeleri, her vücut bölgesine göre maluliyet oranlarının dağılımı ve genel maluliyet oranları yönünden değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Olguların %69,9'u erkek, %30,1'i ise kadındı. Olguların %91,6'sını trafik kazaları sonucu yaralanmaların oluşturduğu saptanmış, %19,5'inde yaralanmaları sekel bırakmadan iyileştiğinden maluliyet tayinine mahal olmadığına karar verilmişti.Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, kadın olguların ortalama maluliyet puanları ile erkek olguların ortalama maluliyet puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmamış olmasına karşın; yaş gruplarına göre maluliyet oranı ortalama puanlarının 40 yaş üstündeki artışı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuş olup, bu durum, yaşlanma ile birlikte ortaya çıkan osteoporoz, artroz gelişimi, kalp ve akciğer hastalıkları v.b. gibi durumların travma sonucu ortaya çıkan hasarın şiddetlenmesinde ve iyileşme sürecinin gelişiminin engellenmesinde rol aldıkları şeklinde değerlendirilmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Maluliyet, maluliyet oranı, sosyal sigortalar, cinsiyet, yaş grupları ABSTRACT Objective: In this study, medico-legal reports about 548 cases admitted for disability assessment in Van were retrospectively evaluated.

Objective: The aims of this article are to report largest series of lightning-related deaths in Turkey, to review the literature about this subject, to define similarities and differences, between autopsy findings of the presented series and literature information. Methods: In this article, autopsy reports and crime scene investigation data of 11 lightningrelated fatalities that occurred in Van and Hakkari Provinces (Turkey) from January 1 st, 2011 to December 31 st , 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Eleven (2.53%) of 1,699 deaths which evaluated by medico-legal autopsy in Van and Hakkari Province in five years period, died due to lightning strikes. Of these cases, 10 (90.1%) were males and 1 (9.9%) was female (p<0.05). All cases between 11 and 33 age range. All cases was injured outdoors. Conclusion: We think that, the number of deaths due to lightning strike, that has seen relatively rare in Turkey, may be reduced with additional personal precautions such as to avoid from staying under trees or the vicinity of a high tower, to avoid from touching with metal object, to avoid from to lie on the ground, to avoid from to lie on the ground, to avoid from leaning against a wall, to crouch outdoors or enter indoor such as a building or car.
GirişYaşlılık tanım olarak, kişilerde kayıp ve değişimlerin olduğu geniş bir kavram olup; genetik, kronik hastalıklar ve yaşam tarzı gibi içerisinde birçok değişkeni barındıran karmaşık bir süreçtir (1). Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından, 65 yaş ve üstü yaş grubu için geriatrik (yaşlı) nüfus tanımlaması kullanılmış; 2025 yılında dünyada 65 yaş ve üzeri Sonuç: Van ilinde 65 yaş ve üstü doğal ölümlere yapılan otopsi sayısının Türkiye'nin diğer illerinde uygulanan otopsi sayısından daha düşük kaldığı tespit edildi. Ülkemizde ve özellikle yöremizde yaşayan halkın otopsiye karşı direncinin ve hekimlerimizdeki yaşlılardaki her ölümün, "doğal ölüm" olabileceği ön yargısının kırılması için yürütülecek eğitim faaliyetlerinin, yaşlılardaki otopsi sayısının artması konusunda önemli bir adım olacağı vurgulandı.Anahtar Kelimeler: Yaşlı ölümleri, ölüm sebepleri, demografik özellikler, doğal ölüm, zorlamalı ölüm ABSTRACT Objective: In this study, it was aimed to define demographic features and mortality causes in death cases above 65 years of age which were autopsied in Van (Turkey), to compare obtained findings with literature and to reveal of regional differences and similarities in our country of these findings. Material and method:In this study, autopsy reports and judicial investigation documents of death cases above 65 years of age which were autopsied in Van (Turkey) between 2010 and 2014 were retrospectively examined; cases were classified according to genders, ages, event years and seasons, causes and origins of deaths; obtained findings statistically evaluated. Results:The mean age of 84 cases which were evaluated in this study was 73.4±5.9. Of all cases, 81% were males and 19% were females. Deaths of persons above 65 years of age had intensified in summer (38.1%). The major origin of deaths was accidents (64.3%), followed by natural deaths (19%), suicides (9.5%) and homicides (3.6%).The rate of traffic accidents among accidental deaths was 72.2%. Conclusion:It was defined that the number of medicolegal autopsies which applied to natural deaths of persons above 65 years of age in Van province was lower than those in other provinces of Turkey. It was emphasized that the educational efforts for avoiding the public resistance to autopsy, and breaking medical doctors' prejudice that "every death is natural death in elders" will have an important role in the increase in the number of autopsies in elders.
SUMMARYAlthough it is rarely seen in Turkey and developed countries, aluminum phosphide poisoning is an important heath problem because of its high mortality rate. Aluminum phosphate tablets in 3 g weight which are sold in the market under the trade name "57% Fumiphos" include 57% aluminum phosphide and 43% ammonium carbonate. In the present report, it was aimed to define clinical, crime scene investigation and autopsy findings of a case of aluminum phosphide poisoning that was rarely seen in Turkey and comparatively discuss data of our case and literature knowledge. 20 years old male patient, hospitalized with an ambulance following intake of aluminum phosphide while he was in military service and he was accepted as exitus after intense cardio-pulmonary resuscitation efforts. From witness statements, it was learned that patient taken orally a poison; a pill box written "Fumiphos 57% aluminum phosphide" on it, was found in patient's jacket pocket; and it was learned that patient shared some words about death in social media before the event. In the performed medico-legal autopsy, macroscopic findings were defined and the tissue samples which obtained in autopsy were examined microscopically. In the results of toxicological analysis of samples which obtained in autopsy, it was reported the presence of 14184 ng/g aluminum in stomach contents and p-toluene sulfonic acid in visceral organ and muscle samples. Macroscopic and microscopic findings which obtained at autopsy was found compatible with non-specific findings which defined in the literature. In the result of evaluation of crime scene, autopsy and toxicological analysis findings, it was decided that the person's death occurred due to aluminum phosphide poisoning. In this case report, forensic-medicine procedures in cases died due to intoxications was emphasized, and a case who died due to aluminum phosphide poisoning that was a condition commonly seen in developing countries, but rarely seen in Turkey and developed countries was presented and precautions against aluminum phosphide poisoning were defined. Additionally, we suggest that macroscopic and microscopic autopsy findings of the present case which is rarely defined in classical literature will be a guide to medico-legal examiners for aluminum phosphide poisoning.
