Injuries related to animal sacrifice during the Feast of Sacrifice in Turkey

BACKGROUND: The Feast of Sacrifice is a significant annual religious festival in Muslim countries. In these festivals, thousands of animals are usually sacrificed by inexperienced individuals. Thus, many injuries occur during sacrificing of animals. OBJECTIVES: Describe injuries related to animal sacrifice or meat processing. DESIGN: Cross-sectional descriptive study. SETTING: Three hospitals in different cities of Turkey. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Severity and type of injuries that occur during animal sacrifice or meat processing after the sacrifice and hospital costs. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Identification and classification of sacrifice related injuries. SAMPLE SIZE: 301 injured individuals. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 42.5 (14.8) years and 83.1% of the subjects were male. Most (90.0%) injuries were penetrating injuries and 10.0% were blunt traumas. Upper and lower extremity injuries were identified in 77.4% and 17.9% of cases, respectively. Almost half of the injuries were on the left hand (49.8%). Almost all (96.6%) cases were treated and discharged from emergency services. Median hospital cost per patient was 103.14 Turkish Liras (35.95-852.66 Turkish Liras) (19.53 USD [6.80-161.48 USD]). CONCLUSIONS: Even though injuries related to animal sacrifice are usually caused by minor sharp objects, they can be severe and life threatening on rare occasions. To minimize the injuries that may occur during this period, public education and more convenient sacrifice centers may be helpful. LIMITATIONS: Small sample, single country, and short duration of the study. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None. © 2020, Annals of Saudi Medicine, Saudi Arabia.

Is liver biopsy necessary in patients with chronic hepatitis B with normal alanine aminotransferase level?

Objectives: If not treated early, morbidity and mortality will remain high in hepatitis B virus infection. In this study, it was aimed to analyze the liver biopsy results of patients with chronic hepatitis B with normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted retrospectively. The patients who were admitted in the infectious diseases and clinical microbiology outpatient clinic, had liver biopsy and received treatment between 01.09.2019 and 01.12.2019, were included. Results: A total of 169 patients were included in the study. Of the individuals, 95 (56.2%) were female, with a mean age of 42.4 +/- 11.15 years. The rates of having an histological activity index (HAI) score of 6/18 and above and a fibrosis stage of 2/6 or more (90%, 100%, respectively) in patients with ALT level above upper limit of normal (ULN) were higher than in patients with ALT level below ULN (63.6% and 79.1%, respectively) (p=0.001 and p=0.002, respectively). When 129 patients with ALT level below ULN were evaluated in subgroup analyses. HAI score was 6 or higher in 59 (58.4%) of the hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) negative patients, and fibrosis stage was 2 or higher in 76 (75.2%) patients. In patients with ALT below ULN and HBeAg positivity, the rates of HAI score of 6 and above and fibrosis stage of 2 and above were found to be statistically significantly higher than in HBeAg negative patients. Conclusion: Liver fibrosis and necroinflammation may develop in patients with normal ALT levels. In making the biopsy decision, ALT level should be considered together with other factors that may affect liver damage

AN EXTENDED SINGLE-VALUED NEUTROSOPHIC AHP AND MULTIMOORA METHOD TO EVALUATE THE OPTIMAL TRAINING AIRCRAFT FOR FLIGHT TRAINING ORGANIZATIONS

Aircraft’s training is crucial for a flight training organization (FTO). Therefore, an important decision that these organizations should wisely consider the choice of aircraft to be bought among many alternatives. The criteria for evaluating the optimal training aircraft for FTOs are collected based on the survey approach. Single valued neutrosophic sets (SVNS) have the degree of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity membership functions and, as a special case, neutrosophic sets (NS) deal with inconsistent environments. In this regard, this study has extended a single-valued neutrosophic analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based on multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis plus a full multiplicative form (MULTIMOORA) to rank the training aircraft as the alternatives. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is performed to demonstrate the stability of the developed method. Finally, a comparison between the results of the developed approach and the existing approaches for validating the developed approach is discussed. This analysis shows that the proposed approach is efficient and with the other methods
