    Eosinophilic Granuloma Confused With Epidural Hematoma in a Trauma Case
    (2021) Ayaz, Nusret; Kızıloğlu, Alper; Kaya, Ecem; Doğan, Mustafa
    Emergency service physicians have forensic physician duties in addition to providing treatment and protective services. Errors in forensic report writing could affect the judicial process negatively.A 16-year old male presented at the Emergency Department (ED) following an assault. With a diagnosis of epidural hematoma on the computed tomography taken because of head trauma, the patient was transferred to the brain surgery ward. In the forensic report written in ED, there was stated to be a danger to life. In the repeated evaluation, there was seen to be a mass in the calvarium and surgery was performed. In the histopatholgical evaluation, the diagnosis was made of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. It must not be forgotten that errors or ommissions in a forensic report constitute malpractice. The necessary care and attention must be paid to forensic reports prepared in the Emergency Department.

    Aim: Pediatric head traumas (HT) are of significant concern due to their potential for high mortality rates, which are influenced by the clinical progression of traumatic brain injury (TBI). HT poses a substantial risk of morbidity and mortality across all pediatric age groups, underscoring the importance of effective clinical management and follow-up procedures. The current study aims to evaluate the epidemiology, causes, and clinical outcomes of head injuries during childhood play between the ages of 3 and 6. Material and Method: Focused on pediatric patients aged 3-6 years who were admitted to the emergency department (ED) for HT, and required consultation from a neurosurgeon. Data collected included patients’ demographics, trauma etiology, cranial examination findings, laboratory results upon admission, cranial computed tomography findings, classification of TBI, treatment administered, and clinical progression. Results: The median Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores were found to be significantly lower in the group with intraparenchymal injury compared to the group without intraparenchymal injury (p=0.008). The group with intraparenchymal injury exhibited a higher than expected occurrence of moderate TBI (p=0.012). Females exhibited significantly lower mean rank scores for age compared to males (p=0.032). Patients hospitalized for HT had significantly lower GCS scores than those discharged (p=0.001). There is a higher prevalence of moderate TBI than expected in the group of hospitalized patients (p=0.008). The mortality rate among hospitalized patients was 5.6%, with lower GCS scores and hyperglycemia upon admission significantly associated with fatalities (p=0.015, p=0.045). Conclusion: Identification and management of moderate TBI are imperative in children presenting to the ED with HT during early childhood play. Children with intraparenchymal injury should be hospitalized. Additionally, hyperglycemia in pediatric HT patients may signify high-energy trauma.

    The association between prognosis and sarcopenia assessed by psoas muscle measurements in elderly male patients with covid-19

    Introduction: Sarcopenia, which is defined as a generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is an important clinical condition, especially among elderly patients with comorbidities. This study assesses the association between prognosis and sarcopenia assessed by psoas muscle measurements in elderly male patients with coronavirus disease 2019. Materials and Methods: This study included 130 consecutive elderly male patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019. The participants were followed until their time of discharge or death. The psoas muscle cross-sectional area, psoas density, and psoas muscle index measurements were performed based on a single-axial computed tomography section at the L2 vertebral corpus. The outcome measurements of the patients were determined as intensive care unit admission and mortality. Results: During the clinical course of these patients, 29.2% (38) were transferred to the intensive care unit, and 13.1% (17) died. The interclass correlation coefficients for the psoas muscle cross-sectional area and density were 0.91 and 0.93, respectively, between observers. Low psoas muscle index is significantly associated with mortality (p = 0.001), and the probability of mortality increases approximately 5–30 times as the psoas muscle index decreases. No factors were identified as being significantly associated with intensive care unit admission. Conclusion: In elderly male patients who are hospitalized due to coronavirus disease 2019, an assessment of the psoas muscle may provide additional information on the prognosis of the disease. © 2021, Geriatrics Society.
