    Abstract Purpose: Aim of the study was to find answers to the following questions: What haemodynamic changes may occur in patients with stenotic, aneurysmal, dissection of the carotid artery and its branches? How do these changes differ in patients with normal and carotid disease?
    Material and methods: In order to achieve this aim, the cranio-cervical CT angiography images of patients who were referred to our clinic for any reason and received the diagnosis of carotid stenosis, carotid dissection, and extra or intracranial aneurysm were reviewed retrospectively.
    Results: Significant differences were detected in the carotid arteries of normal patients and those with aneurysm and dissection. When normal and aneurismal patients were compared, right and left ICA diameters (
    Conclusions: This study showed that the presence of aneurysm plays an important role in the remodelling of the carotid arteries. Also, it is understood that Murray's laws are still valid for the detection of structural deterioration in carotid artery diseases. Hence, it is believed that these data can be used in artificial intelligence studies.

    Abstract Background: Despite the lack of supporting data, many clinics perform sheath removal 4-6 hours after femoral percutaneous coronary intervention to reduce the risk of possible access site complications. This study aims to examine the effects of sheath removal immediately after the procedure on access site complications and patient comfort.
    Methods: This prospective study included 349 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention via the femoral site and 6 French guiding catheters. The sheath in the early group was removed immediately after the procedure without checking the activated clotting time levels but after 4 hours in the late group. Access site complications were recorded and patient comfort was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale.
    Results: Patients were divided into 2 groups: patients in the early removal group (n=171) and in the late removal group (n= 178). There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of access site complications. Three patients in the early removal group and 4 patients in the late removal group developed a hematoma. Six patients in the early removal group and 10 patients in the late removal group showed ecchymosis.TheVisualAnalogScalescorewas statistically significantly lower intheearly removal group compared with that in the late removal group [2 (1-3) vs. 3 (2-4), P < .001].
    Conclusion: This study shows that immediate sheath removal is safe and more comfortable for patients with percutaneous coronary intervention who received weightadjusted dose of heparin, regardless of the percutaneous coronary intervention levels after the procedure.

    Abstract Background: Data specifically addressed to whether atrial fibrillation (AF) would contribute to increasing the risk for severe forms of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) or worse prognosis remain unclear. Hence, we sought to assess the association of permanent AF with in-hospital outcomes in patients with COVID-19.
    Methods: This was a single-centered, retrospective, observational study including consecutive hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The primary outcome for the study was defined as all cause in-hospital mortality. Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with AF were compared to patients without AF.
    Results: Three hundred and fifty hospitalized COVID-19 patients (median age of 55 years, 55.4% men) were enrolled. Of them 40 (11.4%) had AF. Patients with AF were older; were more likely to have co-morbidities, abnormal chest radiography findings and deteriorated laboratory parameters such as D-dimer, troponin, albumin, urea. In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with AF compared to patients without AF (32.5% vs. 13.5%, log-rank p = 0.002, RR 2.40). The number of patients who needed intensive care unit (55% vs. 31%, p = 0.002) and invasive mechanical ventilation (35% vs 15.2%, p = 0.002) were also higher in the AF group. In addition, length of in-hospital stay was longer in patients with AF (median 8 vs. 7 days, p = 0.008). After adjustment for age and co-morbidities, multivariable analyses revealed that AF (HR: 2.426, 95% CI: 1.089-5.405, p = 0.032) was independently associated with in-hospital death.
    Conclusions: AF was seen with together markers of severe COVID-19, and the presence of AF was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19.

    Abstract A new coronavirus outbreak called COVID-19 started in December 2019. In Turkey, the first case was reported on 10 March 2020. In this article, information will be given about the patient and staff management and organization that we have implemented in the Radiology Department of our hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rules we followed were: 1- Performing the examinations of COVID-19 patients and suspects with a CT device isolated from other patients; 2- Reducing the unnecessary workload in imaging modalities other than CT, emergency radiography, and emergency ultrasonography; 3- Directing and managing patients and their relatives in accordance with the mask and distancing rules; 4- Disinfecting the device with an appropriate disinfectant after each patient in order to prevent cross-contamination; 5- Protecting the entire technician team from infection by employing one week work, two weeks off shifts of fixed teams; 6- Ensuring adequate ventilation of the gantry room. Adhering to the above rules, no infection spread was reported from the Radiology department and especially the COVID-19 CT unit.

    Abstract Introduction This study aimed to compare the functional outcomes and degree of independence in activities of daily living in patients aged >65 years who were treated with a proximal femoral nail (PFN) after an intertrochanteric femur fracture (ITFF) and underwent full and partial load-bearing in the early stage. Methods Overall, 133 patients who were hospitalized for ITFF and treated with PFN between August 2018 and March 2021 were randomly assigned to two groups. During the follow-up period, 45 patients who underwent partial load bearing (Group 1) and 40 patients who underwent full load bearing (Group 2) were prospectively evaluated. The Harris hip score was used for functional evaluation, and the Barthel index was used to evaluate the degree of independence in activities of daily living. Results The mean age of the patients included in the study was 76.67 ± 8.62 years. Regarding the comparison among groups in terms of age, sex, direction of fracture, reduction quality, fracture type, tip-apex distance, and surgical risk, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p ≥ 0.05). Moreover, regarding the comparison in terms of calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, vitamin D, and keratin levels, which affect bone metabolism, no statistical difference was observed (p ≥ 0.05). We found that the mean Harris hip score was significantly higher in Group 1 than in Group 2 (Group 1: 76.82 ± 12.48; Group 2: 67.80 ± 15.34; p = 0.004). Moreover, 73.3% (n=33) and 42.5% (n=17) of patients in Groups 1 and 2 were fully independent or mildly dependent, respectively. We also found that the independence status was significantly better in Group 1 (p = 0.004). Conclusion Mobilization of older patients treated with PFN after ITFF using partial load-bearing protocols in the early postoperative period positively impacts hip function and the ability to perform activities of daily living independently.

    Abstract Disinfection can be accomplished by adding external chemical agents to kill harmful microorganisms or by removing them using membranes. However, most chemicals are toxic for humans and animals if it is consumed above a certain concentration. Likewise, membranes have fouling problems. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of diode laser, which is an environmentally friendly application, on pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli (ATCC 10536), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Candida albicans. To reveal the effect of diode laser on aforementioned, various parameters have been studied on how diode laser type, laser irradiation time, laser power density, laser penetration efficiency and biofilm inhibition affect microorganisms. As a result of the study, it was observed that the blue laser was more effective than red and green lasers, and the inhibition rates for 15 min at 0.36 W/cm² laser power density were 65.9% > 34.52% > 43.63% for S. aureus, E. coli and C. albicans, respectively. After 30 min of blue laser irradiation, the microbial growth inhibitions were found as 85.39%, 41.18% and 54.55% for S. aureus, E. coli and C. albicans, respectively. The highest biofilm inhibition was 94.61% when S. aureus cells were exposed to blue laser irradiation for 60 min. The microbial growth kinetics on three microorganisms were tested by using at 0.54 W/cm² laser power density for 28 h, and there were not observed any microbial development in microbial cultures. Moreover, blue laser irradiation was successfully disinfected wastewater and natural milk at 0.54 W/cm² laser power density.

    Abstract Background: AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy (ART) system has been widely used as a catheter-directed treatment (CDT) method in acute pulmonary embolism (PE), however, there has been a controversy regarding the safety of its use. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the efficacy and safety outcomes of ART in patients with PE.
    Methods: Our meta-analysis have been based on search in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for studies published up to August 2022. The primary outcomes were overall pooled rates of major bleeding (MB) and minor bleeding (mB), worsening renal function (WRF), bradycardia/conduction disturbance (BCD), and PE-related and all-cause mortality in patients who underwent ART.
    Results: Among the 233 studies documented at initial search, 24 studies were eligible for meta-analysis, and a total of 427 PE patients who underwent ART were evaluated. Overall pooled rates of MB and mB were 9.6% (95% CI 5.9%-15.2%) and 9.2% (95% CI 6.1%-13.6%), transient BCD and WRF were 18.2% (95% CI 12.4%-26%) and 15% (95% CI 10%-21.8%), and PE-related death and all-cause death were 12.7% (95% CI 9.1%-17.3%) and 15% (95% CI 11%-20%), respectively. However, significant heterogeneity and some evidence of funnel plot asymmetry and publication bias were noted for MB, BCD and WRF, but not for PE-related death and all-cause death.
    Conclusion: Overall pooled rates of bleeding events, BCD and WRF episodes, PE-related death and all-cause death may be considered as encouraging results for efficacy and safety issues of ART utilization in specific scenarios of acute PE, and a reappraisal for black-box warning on ART seems to be necessary.
