Enflasyon Hedefleyen Gelismekte Olan Ulkelerin Kriz Donemindeki Faiz Kararlari

[TR] Merkez bankalarinin politika tepkilerinin enflasyon disi degiskenlerle bagintili bir gorunum arz etmesi kuresel kriz doneminde dikkat ceken bir gelisme olmustur. Enflasyon hedeflemesi rejimini benimsemis gelismekte olan ulkeleri inceleyen bu calisma, faiz kararlari ile enflasyon disi unsurlar arasinda kriz doneminde olusan baga ragmen, geleneksel tepki fonksiyonu degiskenlerinin onemini korudugunu tespit etmektedir. [EN] During the global crisis, central banks’ policy reactions were somewhat associated with factors other than inflation. Focusing on inflation-targeting emerging market economies, this study documents that traditional variables are still important in explaining the monetary reaction functions of central banks, despite the emergence of a relationship between the policy rates and factors other than inflation during the crisis period.

The role of trauma scoring systems and serum lactate level in predicting prognosis in thoracic trauma

BACKGROUND: Chest trauma constitutes 10% of admissions due to trauma and causes 25-50% of trauma-related deaths. It is important to evaluate the level of thoracic trauma in patients accurately and early, start the correct treatment, predict the need for intensive care and mortality, and prevent complications that may develop. In this study, the predictive efficiency of the serum lactate level, shock index, and scoring systems regarding the prognosis in patients with major thoracic trauma were compared. METHODS: The files of the 683 patients who applied to the emergency department of our hospital due to trauma, between 2014 and 2020, were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with isolated thoracic trauma were included in the study. RESULTS: A total of 683 patients were included in the study. Of the patients, 34 (5%) were in the non-survivor group and 649 (95%) were in the survivor group. There was no statistically significant difference between the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pres -sure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, or shock index in either group (p>0.05). The Glasgow Come Scale (GCS) score in the non-survivor group was significantly lower than that in the survivor group (p=0.000). The lactate level, revised trauma score (RTS), injury severity score (ISS), and New ISS (NISS) in the non-survivor group were significantly higher than those in the survivor group. A significant dif-ference was found in terms of age, lactate level, and the GCS, RTS, ISS, and NISS (p<0.05). In logistic regression analysis, it was found that a 1 unit increase in the lactate value increased the mortality rate by 1.19 times in terms of the effect of the trauma scores and numerical change in the lactate level on mortality. CONCLUSION: In patients with thoracic trauma, the NISS may be a useful factor that can be used in emergency rooms when a quick decision is required. However, increases in blood lactate levels during patient follow-up may also be a blood parameter that the clinician should pay attention to. In addition, further studies should be conducted on scoring in patients with thoracic trauma

The relationship between premature ejaculation and the timing of pre-adult circumcision

We aimed to investigate the relationship between premature ejaculation and the age when men had been circumcised before adulthood. A total of 2,768 sexually active male patients aged between 18 and 65 years were included in this study. A multicentre study was conducted prospectively with the participation of 20 centres. A survey consisting of 12 questions prepared by the researchers, as well as the validated Turkish versions of the five-item Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool, was administered to all participants. The study included 1,603 participants who met the inclusion criteria. There was no significant difference in the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool and self-reported ejaculation time between the participants who had been circumcised at different ages during childhood. Remembering circumcision experience with fear or anxiety did not increase the risk of sexual dysfunction compared to the participants who described their experience with happiness or with no particular emotion. There was no significant difference in Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool scores or the self-reported ejaculation time of the participants circumcised at different ages. The age of childhood circumcision, having a fearful or anxious circumcision experience, does not affect the risk of premature ejaculation in adult life

Safety of hospital discharge before return of bowel function after elective colorectal surgery

© 2020 BJS Society Ltd Published by John Wiley & Sons LtdBackground: Ileus is common after colorectal surgery and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. Identifying features of normal bowel recovery and the appropriateness for hospital discharge is challenging. This study explored the safety of hospital discharge before the return of bowel function. Methods: A prospective, multicentre cohort study was undertaken across an international collaborative network. Adult patients undergoing elective colorectal resection between January and April 2018 were included. The main outcome of interest was readmission to hospital within 30 days of surgery. The impact of discharge timing according to the return of bowel function was explored using multivariable regression analysis. Other outcomes were postoperative complications within 30 days of surgery, measured using the Clavien–Dindo classification system. Results: A total of 3288 patients were included in the analysis, of whom 301 (9·2 per cent) were discharged before the return of bowel function. The median duration of hospital stay for patients discharged before and after return of bowel function was 5 (i.q.r. 4–7) and 7 (6–8) days respectively (P < 0·001). There were no significant differences in rates of readmission between these groups (6·6 versus 8·0 per cent; P = 0·499), and this remained the case after multivariable adjustment for baseline differences (odds ratio 0·90, 95 per cent c.i. 0·55 to 1·46; P = 0·659). Rates of postoperative complications were also similar in those discharged before versus after return of bowel function (minor: 34·7 versus 39·5 per cent; major 3·3 versus 3·4 per cent; P = 0·110). Conclusion: Discharge before return of bowel function after elective colorectal surgery appears to be safe in appropriately selected patients

Safety and efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce ileus after colorectal surgery

Background: Ileus is common after elective colorectal surgery, and is associated with increased adverse events and prolonged hospital stay. The aim was to assess the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for reducing ileus after surgery. Methods: A prospective multicentre cohort study was delivered by an international, student- and trainee-led collaborative group. Adult patients undergoing elective colorectal resection between January and April 2018 were included. The primary outcome was time to gastrointestinal recovery, measured using a composite measure of bowel function and tolerance to oral intake. The impact of NSAIDs was explored using Cox regression analyses, including the results of a centre-specific survey of compliance to enhanced recovery principles. Secondary safety outcomes included anastomotic leak rate and acute kidney injury. Results: A total of 4164 patients were included, with a median age of 68 (i.q.r. 57\u201375) years (54\ub79 per cent men). Some 1153 (27\ub77 per cent) received NSAIDs on postoperative days 1\u20133, of whom 1061 (92\ub70 per cent) received non-selective cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors. After adjustment for baseline differences, the mean time to gastrointestinal recovery did not differ significantly between patients who received NSAIDs and those who did not (4\ub76 versus 4\ub78 days; hazard ratio 1\ub704, 95 per cent c.i. 0\ub796 to 1\ub712; P = 0\ub7360). There were no significant differences in anastomotic leak rate (5\ub74 versus 4\ub76 per cent; P = 0\ub7349) or acute kidney injury (14\ub73 versus 13\ub78 per cent; P = 0\ub7666) between the groups. Significantly fewer patients receiving NSAIDs required strong opioid analgesia (35\ub73 versus 56\ub77 per cent; P &lt; 0\ub7001). Conclusion: NSAIDs did not reduce the time for gastrointestinal recovery after colorectal surgery, but they were safe and associated with reduced postoperative opioid requirement
