    (Wiley, 2017) Atay, Selma; Kurt, Fatma Yilmaz; Akkaya, Gulnur; Karatag, Gulden; Demir, Seyda Ilhan; Calidag, Ulviye
    Purpose: This study was performed to determine suitability of ventrogluteal (VG) site for intramuscular (IM) injections in children aged 36 months and under. Design and Methods: The present study was designed as a prospective descriptive study and performed between 2016 January and June. The study included a total of 120 children aged 36 months and under that met the study criteria. The subcutaneous tissue thickness and muscle thickness of anterolateral, deltoid, and VG sites were measured and assessed by ultrasound. Result: A strong and powerful correlation was identified between the measurements of subcutaneous tissue and muscle thicknesses in the injection site by the age groups. The thickness of subcutaneous tissue was deltoid < anterolateral < VG by age groups. The muscle thickness of anterolateral and VG sites was significantly higher than that of deltoid site. Practice Implications: This study established that skin thickness of VG site was suitable for IM injection in children aged 36 months and under.

    The critical role of computed tomography in the differential diagnosis of acute calcific tendinitis of longus colli muscle: A case report
    (Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2023) Karatag, Gulden; Nusran, Gurdal; Zateri, Coskun; Karatag, Ozan
    Acute longus colli calcific tendinitis (ALCT) is a non-infectious inflammatory process. The typical clinical triad is acute neck pain, neck stiffness, and odynophagia. These findings can be confused with many common pathologies. As ALCT treatment is conservative and relatively easy, making the correct diagnosis is important. Radiology is of critical importance in the diagnosis of ACLT. The detection of prevertebral calcification by computed tomography is pathognomonic. Herein, we present a case with a sudden onset of neck and occipital pain accompanied by odynophagia following acute trauma and diagnosed with ALCT by radiological examination.
