    (EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIANS ASSOC TURKEY, 2015-01-01) Yilmaz, Atakan; Dal, Onur; Yaylaci, Serpil; Uyanik, Emrah
    Aim: In the last decade, news regarding violence of the 112 emergency service staff that is frequently revealed in visual and written media in our country has increased. In this study, we investigated the characteristics that led to the incidence of violence against the 112 emergency service staff, the extent to which these events have been reported by staff, and the work satisfaction of staff. Materials and Methods: Data regarding face-to-face interviews with all staff on duty across the city were obtained. Staff who suffered verbal and physical violence in the last year and during their work period were examnined. Staff who did not wish to participate in the study, who served in the 112 emergency service for less than one year, and who were on an annual leave or leave without pay during the study were excluded. Results: One hundred and forty-one eligible staff participated in this study. Of the total participants, 73\% (n= 103) were emergency medical technicians and paramedics. The average work period in the 112 emergency medical services was 4.9 +/- 2.8 (min: 1, max: 23) years. The staff's exposure to verbal and physical violence over the last year was 51.8\% (n = 73) and 8.5\% (n = 12), respectively. Rates increased by 77.3\% (n = 109) and 24.8\% (n = 35), respectively, when investigation was conducted in the absence of time limitation. Of the total participants, 85.1\% (n = 120) were found to not formally report the attacks. A large percentage (95.2\%) of reported incidents involved physical violence. Finally, the participants levels of work satisfaction in the 112 emergency service was high (90.8\%, n = 128). Conclusion: Violence against the 112 emergency service staff is greater than estimated because there were not sufficiently reported. Trainings must be organized for staff working in prehospital medical care regarding how to protect and cope from violence.

    Self-Cannibalism: The Man Who Eats Himself
    (WESTJEM, 2014-01-01) Yilmaz, Atakan; Uyanik, Emrah; Sengul, Melike C. Balci; Yaylaci, Serpil; Karcioglu, Ozgur; Serinken, Mustafa
    Self-mutilation is a general term for a variety of forms of intentional self-harm without the wish to die. Although there have been many reports of self-mutilation injuries in the literature, none have reported self-cannibalism after self-mutilation. In this article we present a patient with self-cannibalism following self-mutilation. A 34-year-old male patient was brought to the emergency department from the prison with a laceration on the right leg. Physical examination revealed a well-demarcated rectangular soft tissue defect on his right thigh. The prison authorities stated that the prisoner had cut his thigh with a knife and had eaten the flesh.

    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.
