    A case of pulmonary tularemia mimicking lung cancer
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Kiymaz, Yasemin cakir; Ozbey, Mahmut
    Tularemia is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Francisella tularensis. The main reservoir for F. tularensis is lagomorphs, rodents, arthropods, and the hydrotelluric environment. It also can be transmitted by infected animals or by drinking contaminated water. Pulmonary tularemia is a rare form of tularemia mostly transmitted by inhalation. In this report, we present a 51-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital with fever, cough, sputum, and chest pain. Biopsy of the lesion compatible with mass on chest radiography revealed granulomatous inflammation. The diagnosis of pulmonary tularemia was made based on a history of rodent contact and tularemia microagglutination test (MAT): 1/1280.

    Efficacy of serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB) on post-operative pain and total analgesic consumption in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS): A double-blinded randomised controlled trial
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Avci, Onur; Gundogdu, Oguz; Balci, Fatih; Tekcan, Muhammed N.; Ozbey, Mahmut
    Background and Aims: Serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block (SPSIPB) is a novel technique that can provide analgesia in the hemithorax, shoulder, and back of the neck. This study aimed to evaluate the post-operative analgesic effect of SPSIPB in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Methods: It is a double-blind, randomised controlled trial. Twenty-four adult patients who underwent VATS via the uniportal technique were randomised into two groups: the SPSIPB group (n = 12) received SPSIPB along with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with tramadol, whereas the control group (n = 12) received only PCA with tramadol. At the end of the surgery, patients in the SPSIPB group received a unilateral SPSIPB under ultrasound guidance with the use of 30-mL bupivacaine 0.25%. The primary outcome was the numerical rating scale (NRS) scores of the patients. Secondary outcomes included the amount of tramadol and rescue analgesic (paracetamol) consumed by the patients, followed up for post-operative 24 hours. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-Square Test. Mann-Whitney U Test was used to compare groups of variables that were not normally distributed.Results: The SPSIPB group had lower NRS values during post-operative 24 hours (P < 0.001). Mean (standard deviation) total tramadol consumption was 58.33 (26.23) mg in the SPSIPB group and 144.17 (13.11) mg in the control group (P < 0.001). Rescue analgesic need was lower in the SPSIP group in the first 18 post-operative hours (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block provides good analgesia in the thoracic region after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

    Thirteen years of migration of Kirschner wires: A mediastinal foreign body
    (Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2023) Ozbey, Mahmut; Turkmen, Ufuk; Sahin, Ekber
    Kirschner wires used for orthopedic fixation can rarely migrate over time. A 26-year-old male patient in whom two Kirschner wires were inserted 13 years ago for the stabilization of the right sternoclavicular joint dislocation and migrated into the anterior mediastinum and left hilum was admitted to our clinic. Incidentally detected Kirschner wires on chest radiography were removed by superior mini-sternotomy. In conclusion, since migration of Kirschner wires may cause serious complications, these patients should be followed closely and the wires should be removed once migration is detected.
