    (Univ West Indies Faculty Medical Sciences, 2021) Hekimoğlu, Yavuz; Asirdizer, Mahmut; Demir, U.; Gur, A.; Etli, Y.; Gümüş, O.; Kartal, Erhan
    Objective: To report the largest series of lightning-related deaths in Turkey, to review the literature on this subject, and to identify similarities and differences between the autopsy findings in this study and the information available in literature. Methods: In this study, autopsy reports and crime scene investigation data on 11 lightning-related fatalities that occurred in the Van and Hakkari Provinces, Turkey, from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Of the 1699 fatalities, 11 (2.53%) evaluated by medico-legal autopsy in the Van and Hakkari Province in a 5-year period died from lightning strikes. Of these cases, 10 (90.1%) were males and 1 (9.9%) was female (p < 0.05). All cases were in the 11 to 33 years age group. All cases were injured outdoors. Conclusion: We concluded that deaths due to lightning strikes are relatively rare in Turkey, and may be reduced with precautions such as avoiding staying under trees or in the vicinity of high towers, refraining from touching metal objects, avoiding lying on the ground, leaning on walls, and crouching outdoors.

    Sex estimation from sacrum and coccyx with discriminant analyses and neural networks in an equally distributed population by age and sex
    (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2019) Etli, Yasin; Asirdizer, Mahmut; Hekimoğlu, Yavuz; Keskin, Siddik; Yavuz, Alpaslan
    Sex estimation is an essential step in the process of the identification of the skeletal remains in forensic anthropology since it reduces the number of possible matches by half. In this study, sex estimation with 21 sacral and coccygeal metric parameters obtained from Computerized Tomography images of a Turkish population which consists of 480 patients that are equalized according to their sexes and ages, is performed. Univariate discriminant analysis, linear discriminant function analysis, stepwise discriminant function analysis, and multilayer perceptron neural networks are used in this study. A maximum of 67.1% accuracy for univariate discriminant analysis, 82.5% for linear discriminant function analysis, 78.8% for stepwise discriminant function analysis, and 86.3% for multilayer perceptron neural networks, were achieved. Although it does not reach an acceptable accuracy rate of 95% or more for sacrum and coccyx, sex estimation with neural networks is a promising field of research in corpses where identification is otherwise not possible, and further studies with other bones and with new techniques might give useful information.

    The effect of altitude and climate on the suicide rates in Turkey
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2018) Asirdizer, Mahmut; Kartal, Erhan; Etli, Yasin; Tatlisumak, Ertugrul; Gümüş, Orhan; Hekimoğlu, Yavuz; Keskin, Siddik
    Suicide is one of the most important public health problems. There was an association between suicide and several factors such as psychiatric diseases and psychological characteristics, somatic illness, cultural, socioeconomic, familial, occupational and individual risk factors. Also, high altitude and climatic factors including high temperature, cloudiness, more sunshine and low rainfalls were defined as some of these risk factors in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate correlation between suicide rates and altitudes of all cities in Turkey and between suicide rates and climatic factors including Rainfall Activity Index, Winter Mean Temperatures, Summer Mean Temperatures and Temperature Difference between January and July previously defined by several authors in the broad series in Turkey. In Turkey, 29865 suicidal deaths occurred in 10 years period between 2006 and 2015. Of them, 21020 (70.4%) were males and 8845 (29.6%) were females. In this study, we found that high altitude above 1500 m, winter median temperature lower than - 10 degrees C and hard temperature changes above 25 degrees C between winter and summer of settlements were important factors that affected on female suicide rates appropriate to knowledge which defined in previous studies. In conclusion, we suggested that the associations among suicide rates with altitudes and climate should be studied in wider series obtained from different countries for reaching more reliable results.

    Toplu Sünnet Etkinliğinde Tıbbi Uygulama Hatası: İki Olgu
    (2017) Etli, Yasin; Aşırdizer, Mahmut; Hekimoğlu, Yavuz
    Gerek dini ve kültürel sebeplerle gerekse de tıbbi sebeplerle yapılmış olsun erkek dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık 6'da birinin sünnet edildiği tahmin edilmektedir. Sünnetin komplikasyon oranının ise %0,2 ile %5 arasında değiştiği bildirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, aynı hastanede, aynı gün içerisinde, aynı hekim tarafından yapılan toplu sünnet etkinliği sırasında iki sünnet işlemi sonrası gelişen klinik tablo, tıbbi uygulama hatası yönünden irdelenmiş, adli tıbbi boyutu ortaya konulmuş ve bu olguların özellikleri literatür bilgileri ile karşılaştırılmıştır.Sonuç olarak, toplu sünnet aktivitelerinden mümkün olduğunca kaçınılması, ülkemizde olduğu gibi sosyoekonomik nedenlere bağlı olarak toplu sünnet uygulaması yapılması kaçınılmaz olan durumlarda bile, ailelerin aydınlatılması ile ilgili prosedürlerin göz ardı edilmemesinin, bu konuda yetkin ve yeterli sayıda hekimlerce, asepsi-antisepsi ilkelerine uygun ortamlarda, bilimsel kaidelere ve yürürlükteki mevzuata uygun olarak yapılmasının komplikasyon gelişimini azaltacağı ve bu alandaki tıbbi uygulama hataları iddialarının önüne geçeceği vurgulanmıştır.
