BACKGROUND: Emergency services manage trauma patients frequently and falls from height comprise the main cause of emergency service admissions. In this study, we aimed to analyse the demographic characteristics of falls from height and their relationship to the ***: A total of 460 patients, who admitted to the Emergency Department of Inonu University between November 2011 and November 2014 with a history of fall from height, were examined retrospectively. Demographic parameters, fall characteristics and their effect to mortality were evaluated statistically. RESULTS: The study comprised of 292(63.5%) men and 168(36.5%) women patients. The mean age of all patients was 27±24.99 years. Twenty-six(5.6%) patients died and the majority of them were in ≥62 years old group. The highest percentage of falls was at 0–5 years age group(28.3%). People fell mainly from 1.1–4 metres(m) level(46.1%). The causes of falls were ordered as unintentional(92.2%), workplace(8.1%) and suicidal(1.7%). Skin and soft tissue injuries(37.4%) were the main traumatic lesions. CONCLUSION: Age, fall height, fall place, linear skull fracture, subarachnoidal hemorrhage, cervical fracture, thoracic vertebra fracture and trauma scores had statistically significant effect on mortality. The casualties died because of subarachnoid hemorrhage mostly.

Biomaterials have been out of commonly used materials in biomedical applications in recent years. Today among the mostly-used biocompatible metals are especially Ni-Ti alloys. For conducting this study, having extensive usage area in biomedical applications, Ni and Ti materials were utilized for an alloy production. Following being mixed using a suitable mixer at 49Ni/51Ti %wt., the alloy was exposed to cold pressure of 200 MPa and sintered in a mold. In addition, the material gained porosity appearance thanks to usage of the synthesized (SHS) method and then the final shape of the specimen was taken using the method of wire electro erosion discharge machining (WEDM). Afterwards, the specimen was subjected to the biocompatibility test in in-vivo environment by means of on a 3-year-old female dog.

Processing improves the visual quality of food;however,the ingredient and nutritional values may *** present study,the sugar samples(refined,raw,gur(Jaggery/jaggeree)and molasses)were collected from 20 different agro-climatic regions of Pakistan and analyzed for the chromium concentration,total phenolic and antioxidant activity,in order to evaluate the processing *** concentration of Cr was determined by digestion method using atomic absorption spectrophotometer,while antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl)and reducing *** was observed that chromium content in Jaggery was 74%higher than raw sugar,while molasses showed 21.27%higher concentration versus *** total phenolic contents were found considerably higher in molasses(3751 lg GAE/g)followed by Jaggery(3285 lg GAE/g),raw sugar(27.75 lg GAE/g)and refined sugar(23.81 lg GAE/g).The DPPH scavenging activity and reducing power was also found dependent to sugar *** results,it can be concluded that processing significantly affected the chromium contents,total phenolics and antioxidant activity.
