    (MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2011-01-01) Sener, Serkan; Eken, Cenker; Schultz, Carl H.; Serinken, Mustafa; Ozsarac, Murat
    Study objective: We assess whether midazolam reduces recovery agitation after ketamine administration in adult emergency department (ED) patients and also compared the incidence of adverse events (recovery agitation, respiratory, and nausea/vomiting) by the intravenous (IV) versus intramuscular (IM) route. Methods: This prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2x2 factorial trial randomized consecutive ED patients aged 18 to 50 years to 4 groups: receiving either 0.03 mg/kg IV midazolam or placebo, and with ketamine administered either 1.5 mg/kg IV or 4 mg/kg IM. Adverse events and sedation characteristics were recorded. Results: Of the 182 subjects, recovery agitation was less common in the midazolam cohorts (8\% versus 25\%

    Work-related injuries in textile industry workers in Turkey
    (TURKISH ASSOC TRAUMA EMERGENCY SURGERY, 2012-01-01) Serinken, Mustafa; Turkcuer, Ibrahim; Dagli, Bekir; Karcioglu, Ozgur; Zencir, Mehmet; Uyanik, Emrah
    BACKGROUND This study was conducted as a survey including work-related injuries (WRI) of workers in the textile and clothing industry admitted to the emergency department (ED). METHODS This prospective study included patients with WRI reportedly occurring in the textile and clothing industry over a two-year period. The study sample comprised only the casualties occurring at the workplace and while working de facto. RESULTS A total of 374 patients were eligible for the study. More than three-fourths of the study sample were females (76.2\%, n=285). A significant proportion of the patients were between 14 and 24 years of age (44.7\%, n=167). Approximately two-thirds reported that this was their first admission to a hospital related to WRI (65.8\%, n=246). WRIs occurred most frequently between 07:00-09:00 (27.3\%) and 23:00-01:00 (17.9\%). ``Carelessness{''} and ``rushing{''} were the most commonly reported causes of WRIs from the patients' perspective (40.6\% and 21.4\%, respectively). Three-fourths of the patients reported that they were using protective equipment (74.3\%, n=278). With respect to injury types, laceration/puncture/ amputation/avulsion injuries accounted for 55.6\% (n=208) of the sample. Trauma to the upper extremities was the main type of injury in 75.1\% (n=281) of the cases. CONCLUSION Broad population-based studies are needed to define the situation as a whole in WRIs in the textile and clothing industry in the country. Strict measures should be undertaken and revised accordingly to prevent WRIs in these growing sectors.
