Pattern of systemic antibiotic use and potential drug interactions: Evaluations through a point prevalence study in Ankara University Hospitals.
Conclusions A dramatic variance existed amongst antibiotics prescribed by different departments. This indicated indicated the requirement for a centralized role of an infectious diseases specialist. Especially for the hospitalized patient, prophylactic coverage with at least one antibiotic brought about a number of drug interactions. A precise evaluation by a clinical pharmacist -currently none on duty- of orders in terms of drug interactions will reduce possible drug-related hazards.

Three Dimensional Printing and Biomaterials in the Repairment of Bone Defects;
Hydroxyapatite PLA Filaments
Conclusion: Surfacing hydroxyapatite on metallic materials is possible. By similar logic, to increase durability with low cost, characteristics
of biomaterials can be improved with combinations such as hydroxyapatite PLA. Thus, we found that while these materials have usage
limitations due to present disadvantages when used alone, it is possible to increase their efficiency and availability through different
combinations.

Factors affecting mortality in geriatric patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
CONCLUSION: The presence of malignancy, symptoms of dyspnea, high NLR, highest CRP, LDH and creatinine levels, low saturation on admission predicted mortality, while the azithromycin use was found to be protective against mortality. Therefore, knowing the causes predicting mortality is important in order to be more successful in the future cases.
