The Value of Carina Angle Measurement for the Diagnosis of Patent Ductus Arteriosus

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.317
Synopsis: 
The probability of the appearance of a widened carina angle on X rays is increased by the presence of patent ductus arteriosus.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: We aimed to assess whether the widened carina angle displayed on X-ray supports the presumptive presence of patent ductus arteriosus.

Atropa belladonna (Deadly Nightshade) Poisoning in Childhood

Issue: 
Vol 69, Issue 4: 2021
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.457
Pages: 
230-4
Synopsis: 
Atropa belladonna intoxication may seriously progress in the act of late diagnosis and treatment in childhood. It is crucial to realize that in Atropa belladonna poisoning, patients should be evaluated carefully in terms of intensive care needs. Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale < 12 should be observed in the intensive care unit.

ABSTRACT

Objective: A very small amount of Atropa belladonna (AB) can lead to serious symptoms of poisoning and can cause death in children. In this study, demographic, clinic and laboratory results of AB poisoning were evaluated.

How Approprıate are the Lengths of Syringe Needles Used for Subcutaneous Injections to the Children at School Age?

Issue: 
Vol 69, Issue 6: 2021
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2015.229
Pages: 
409-15
Synopsis: 
This study showed that nowadays, relatively shorter pen needles compared with those previously used are recommended for subcutaneous insulin therapy. Currently, the available shortest pen needles for subcutaneous injections is 4 mm in length, each. Even when the shortest pen needle is used, the risk for intramuscular injection during subcutaneous injection is 50% in boys aged 6–8 years, while it is 25% in those aged 9–12 years and 13–17 years for each. It is 25% in all the three age groups among the girls. Smaller pen needles can help to achieve more accurate subcutaneous injections.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To define the normal ranges of the thicknesses of the skin and subcutaneous tissues via ultrasonography, and determine whether the current syringe needle-lengths used for the subcutaneous injections were appropriate.
