Dissociative identity disorder is the most complex, severe, and chronic condition within the category of dissociative disorders. The core issue in dissociative identity disorder involves significant divisions and discontinuities in an individual's memory, behavior, emotions, consciousness, and identity, which typically function as a cohesive whole. These dissociative experiences lead to impairments in various psychological functions and are often accompanied by other psychological disorders. Compared to other mental health conditions, environmental factors play a more prominent role in the development of dissociative identity disorder. This is primarily because the etiology of dissociative disorders is closely linked to repeated, systematic, and traumatic experiences, particularly during childhood. Historically, dissociative identity disorder has been diagnosed late, and its association with trauma has often been overlooked. The presence of alter identities and the challenges in recognizing dissociative identity disorder have contributed to this oversight, resulting in a delay in exploring the connections between dissociative identity disorder and other diagnoses. This study aims to investigate the history, diagnostic criteria, treatment approaches, and dissociative aspects of dissociative identity disorder, as well as its relationships with other mental health disorders. Notably, dissociative identity disorder has strong associations with conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, somatization, eating disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The interplay between these diagnoses and dissociative identity disorder is examined through the lens of shared symptoms, comorbidity, etiology, and epidemiology. The delayed recognition of the diagnostic and therapeutic protocols for dissociative identity disorder and the consequent neglect of its relationship with other disorders in the literature underscore the significance of this study. By highlighting these connections, we can enhance our understanding and improve the treatment of individuals affected by dissociative identity disorder and its comorbid conditions.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the clinical outcomes of patients presenting with gunshot wounds who were hospitalized in the orthopedic clinic in the last five years. Material and Method: The study is a retrospective study with 41 patients. Gender, age, length of hospitalization, injured extremities and regions, presence of fractures and distribution of fractured bones, need for surgery, need for other specialties, distribution of different specialties, additional injuries and complications, and their distribution were investigated. Results: The mean age of the patients was 39.76±12.77. 92.70% (n=38) of the patients were male, and 7.30% (n=3) were female. The mean duration of hospitalization among the patients was 5.68±3.38 days. It was observed that 80.50% (n=33) of the patients had the most injuries in the lower extremities. 70.70% (n=29) of the patients had a fracture accompanying the firearm injury. The femur was the most commonly fractured bone. Surgery was required in 82.90% (n=34) of the patients. 53.70% (n=22) of the patients had additional injuries and complications. Conclusion: Firearm injuries are an increasingly frequent and severe orthopedic injury, especially with the increase in individual armament. Therefore, emergency and orthopedic physicians should be equipped for early and effective intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The world consists of societies that tell of the pain, floods, disasters, and traumas they have experienced throughout history. The individual or organization experiences disaster; he feels the pain, registers it in his memory, and takes action to repair the spiritual destruction. One of the tools of this repair phase is narratives. There is a close relationship between human mental health and the act of telling. This verbal plane contains the answer to the question, "why does a person tell." The word has a talismanic and healing property. Narration; should be understood as an expression technique and a method of spiritual therapy, regardless of the medium, such as words, writing, painting, or dance. The act of telling is an indispensable element of healing, although it is one of the therapy methods. A human who does not tell their troubles will not find a cure; the sequence that can follow humans from ancestor aphorisms such as love makes one cry, concerns relate, to psychologist-client interview techniques and therapy methods; narration, narratives, writings, words, etc. emphasizes the importance of many transmission pathways. When the sequential triangle of trauma-epictherapy in epics, one of the ancient forms of narration, is considered a structural plane, it should mention the functionality of literary trauma theory. Epic texts, which focus on a social function, also serve the purpose of spiritual healing and recovery from trauma in all circumstances. The epic embodies black and white, like the dichotomy of the universe and human beings. If there is a person, there is also pain; naturally, in this case, it can also reveal trauma. When we think of trauma as a state of lockdown, we can see epic as a state of dissolution. In this article, the therapeutic function of the epic, which is one of the narrative genres, will be discussed. Social turning points intertwine with the epic; this intersection arises from the need to tell and offers various forms of healing. As all painful events such as earthquakes, droughts, migration, war, loss of a loved one in society, and sudden deaths narrate, it becomes a permanent cultural heritage and offers therapy opportunities. It is also possible to talk about the long-term transformation of the therapy realized through the epic narrative into a social design. Through these narratives, societies not only remove the traces of the pain they have learned and experienced while passing through traumas but also inform future generations of the traumatic intersections that may come their way. The experience of these traumas lay behind the implicit suggestion or warning that was abstracted by the narrative and turned into an ideal. It is a desire to prepare society for new traumas by advancing on the path of this constantly repeated ancient transference. The community in the process of formation and spread of the epic and the ancestral lineage of the epic also recover through the epic, and by following the signs sent years ago, they get the opportunity to protect themselves. This environment of trust realizes with the epic narrative born in an insecure environment. Just as every destruction marks a new beginning, epics born after an uncertain environment become a means of healing for various people and societies. This study reveals the traumas that turned into an epic text hidden behind the narrative today and its function in the context of community therapy, and its transformation into a vision project. The epic, born and nourished by chaos, reveals the pain of experiencing trauma while mediating the treatment of generations and the healing of societies with its permanence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The twentieth century has gone down in history as a period in which millions of people lost their lives due to wars and genocides on Earth. The writers of the 1990s started to bring these painful events to the stage to shed light on the violence that caused the mass death of people and raise awareness. Philip Ridley reveals the psychological disorders that arise due to the traumatic events that people have experienced through the characters in his Mercury Fur. Thus, he ironically explains to the audience that death is not the only solution by reflecting the inner problems of the people of the twentieth century on the stage. Additionally, the desire to gain power, which causes the internal depression of the characters in the play, leads to their death. In other words, people who cannot psychologically control their will become victims of their own ambitions. In this respect, the study reveals how social relations are shaped through their internal dynamics and how power relations become a determining factor in the traumatic experiences of individuals when it is examined within the framework of Foucault's discourse of power and violence. Mercury Fur shows how individuals, especially parentless children, are psychologically affected by the violence around them. It is an inevitable fact that these vulnerable children who grow up outside of parental control will suffer from the psychological depressions they experience when they reach puberty. Philip Ridley's dystopian play questions the power dynamics by deeply examining the power effect on the characters who are victims of trauma living in the chaotic environment created by anarchy, and offers a deep understanding of the complexity of human psychology by using the traumas experienced by the characters. In this context, the article aims to shed light on the inner world of twentieth-century people by revealing the reasons for the violent events experienced by the characters in Philip Ridley's Mercury Fur in the context of Michel Foucault's understanding of power and power-oriented discourse.

Background/Aim: Thoracic traumas cause life-threatening problems ranging from pulmonary contusion to multi-organ injuries. One of the most common complications of these traumas is acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is important to establish a biochemical marker to determine the severity of traumatic injuries and to monitor the inflammatory process. In this study, we aimed to measure the serum concentration of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and to investigate the diagnostic value of this metabolite in a low (3.31 joules), medium (6.62 joules) and high energy (9.93 joules) model of blunt thoracic trauma in rabbits. Material and methods: In this study, 27 New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups: Control, low energy trauma group, medium energy trauma group, and high energy trauma group. Blood samples were collected at 1st, 12th and 24th hours after thoracic trauma. Results: Statistically significant differences in TMAO levels were found both within and between groups (p<0.0001). Conclusion: TMAO levels increased especially in the first hour following trauma and decreased at 12th and 24th hours compared to the first hour (in moderate and high energy trauma groups). These findings suggest that TMAO levels may be related to the severity and timing of trauma. In ALI resulting from blunt thoracic trauma induced at different energy levels, TMAO levels varied between groups and were associated with the timing and severity of trauma. These findings suggest that TMAO levels may be valuable in evaluating the prognosis of trauma and monitoring the inflammatory process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Challenging life events are traumatic events that affect people cognitively, emotionally and behaviorally. One way to understand the psychological reactions of individuals who have experienced such events is to examine their basic assumptions about the world and the effects of these events on their assumptions. Research on victims of traumatic experiences has found that people often have unquestioned assumptions and shape their thoughts and behaviors accordingly. Traumatic events not only cause these assumptions to be shaken, but also have the ability to reveal the nature of these beliefs. The 'Fragmented Assumptions Model' has tried to provide a theoretical framework to explain people's core beliefs. According to this model, people have three main assumptions: 'goodness of the world', 'meaningfulness of the world' and 'self-worth'. When the beliefs on which these three basic assumptions are based are considered as a whole, a total of eight principles are seen in the conceptual model of the individual's assumptions about the world. These are the goodness of the world, the goodness of people, justice, controllability, randomness, self-worth, self-control and chance. These beliefs function as a cognitive framework to help people anticipate extreme events in their lives and support their decision-making. Challenging life events are emotional situations that are overwhelming, stressful and distressing for individuals. These experiences have powerful effects on both psychological and physical health, with the most common consequences being post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. The most prominent mental state here is meaninglessness. This is because individuals feel helpless and alone because of what has happened to them in a meaningless world. They feel that the world is no longer as meaningful as it used to be and that they are not in control of what happens next. It is possible for individuals to heal their suffering and get out of this difficult situation by reconstructing their inner world. Old assumptions have led to the conclusion that life is malevolent and meaningless, resulting in anxiety and worry. Individuals who go through a difficult period with trauma will find it easier to return to their previous lives by changing their old assumptions that misled them, made them face the fact that they are mortal and vulnerable, and led them to conclude that life is meaningless. New assumptions are one of the main ways of coping with traumatic situations. Religious interpretations are an important source for individuals in creating new assumptions. Religion functions mostly in the cognitive dimension in challenging life events, bringing new meaning and perspective. Religion can often function as a schema through which reality is perceived. Religion states that the pain and suffering experienced by people are not aimless and meaningless; they are realized within the framework of a divine plan. Instead of denying and avoiding the experiences, the pain experienced within the framework of the meaning offered by religion can be seen as an opportunity for spiritual development. The aim of the study is to examine how individuals make sense of difficult life events and to reveal the role of religion in making sense. Religion and spiritual values may offer new assumptions for individuals to cope with painful situations. In this context, firstly, the effects of difficult life events on people are discussed. Secondly, basic assumptions about the world are examined within the framework of the Fragmented Assumptions Model. Finally, the assumptions about the world developed from a religious perspective in difficult life events and their contribution to psychological recovery are discussed. In the study, in which phenomenological method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used, it was aimed to create a theoretical framework about the role of religion and spirituality in shaping world assumptions by reviewing the existing literature. It is thought that the study will be effective in understanding the assumptions of individuals with traumatic experiences and contributing to the healing process by developing new assumptions.

Background: Trauma is a critical public health issue, particularly impacting the young and causing significant financial and moral losses. Approximately one-third of trauma-related hospitalizations and 20-25% of trauma-related deaths are caused by serious chest injuries. We aimed to determine the prognostic value of changing pediatric global troponin levels in the emergency department after trauma. Materials and Methods: Patients who applied to the emergency department with complaints of trauma between January 1, 2015 and January 31, 2022 were evaluated. Records of pediatric patients between the ages of 0 and 18 were reviewed. The cause and severity of the trauma, electrocardiography and echocardiography results, and laboratory data (biochemical, hemogram, C-reactive protein, pro-BNP, CK-MB, troponin, etc.) of the patients were evaluated. This study is an observational and retrospective. Results: Falling from height was the most prevalent cause of injury, accounting for 43% of cases. Chest trauma was observed in 55 patients (56%). All patients with chest trauma exhibited elevated troponin levels. Troponin levels were found to be significantly higher in patients with chest trauma (p=0.011). Conclusions: Our findings highlighted the prognostic importance of cardiac troponins, especially in pediatric patients presenting with trauma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research was conducted in order to examine whether there is a relationship between childhood traumas and attitudes towards violence. The sample of the research consists of 552 students at the School of Health Sciences of a university. The data were collected by the researcher based on the students' self-reports using the "Childhood Trauma Scale" and the "Attitude Scale towards Violence in University Students". The results obtained showed that there is a negative relationship between childhood traumas and attitudes towards violence, and that traumas experienced in childhood lead to individuals decrying violence more normally. In addition, it was found that childhood traumas were more common in participants who grew up in fragmented families, used cigarettes and alcohol, had previously committed violence and had been neglected. It has been observed that variables such as gender, the type of family they live, the frequency of doing sports, and the educational status of their parents affect students' attitudes towards violence.

This study was conducted to determine the trauma levels of nursing students after the great Kahramanmaraş earthquake in Turkey. This study is cross-sectional and descriptive. A total of 365 nursing students made up the study's sample. The "Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale" and the "Introductory Characteristics Information Form" were used to gather data. The total score average of the Students' Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale was found to be 57.78±16.62 for the current sample. In the study, it was determined that the post-earthquake trauma levels of female students, those whose homes were heavily damaged, those whose relatives were trapped under rubble, and those who had problems finding food and water immediately after the earthquake were statistically significantly higher(p<0.05). Among the scale sub-score averages, cognitive structuring, emotional limitation and affective sub-dimension average scores were found to be high. After the disaster, necessary trainings can be urgently planned in schools to reduce and prevent the trauma that may occur in students. It may also be recommended that psychological counseling and guidance services be provided effectively in schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the general characteristics of geriatric cases aged ≥65 years, who presented at the Forensic Medicine Clinic due to trauma, and the severity of injury using trauma scoring systems. Methods: The study included all trauma cases over 65 years with a forensic report prepared in the Forensic Medicine Clinic between 2015 and 2021. Evaluations were made using the chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis (post-hoc: Dunn-Bonferroni) tests. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Two-thirds of the cases were male (67.6%) and mean age was 73.23±6.25 years. More than half of the cases were exposed to battery-related trauma (54%). There was an injury in more than one region in 37.4% (n=52) of the cases. The median injury severity score (ISS) of the cases was 2 (1.5) and the median newinjury severity score (NISS) was 3 (1.8). The scores of ISS and NISS in cases aged >75 years were higher than in those aged ≤75 years (p<0.05). The score severity of ISS and NISS of the cases injured in traffic accidents and other accidents was higher than in those injured due to battery (p<0.001). Almost half (48.1%) of the traffic accident-related cases were pedestrians, and it was seen that pedestrians suffered more severe trauma. Conclusion: Increasing the necessary safety measures in traffic, especially pedestrian safety, and taking measures to make daily life easier for the elderly may help protect this vulnerable population from the effects of severe trauma.

Objective: To examine patients who presented to the emergency department following motorcycle accidents before and during the COVID-19 pandemic period in order to comparatively assess the incidence of these accidents, associated trauma severity, and patient outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we evaluated 1,137 patients who presented to the Adult Emergency Department of Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital with injuries caused by motorcycle accidents. The electronic files of the patients who were determined to have presented to the emergency department after a motorcycle accident were screened, and their age, gender, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, body temperature (at presentation), time of the accident, motorcycle speed at the time of the accident as reported by the driver, protective equipment used, time of arrival at the emergency department, length of stay in the emergency department and hospital, the types of treatment applied throughout the patients’ stay, and the outcomes of the patients were recorded in the case forms. Results: Of the 1135 patients included in the study, 129 (11.4%) presented to the emergency department before the pandemic and 1,006 (88.6%) during the pandemic period. There were 1,055 (93%) male patients and 80 (7%) female patients. Of all the patients, 145 (12.9%) were hospitalized, and 990 (87.2%) left the hospital. Of those who left the emergency room, 42 (3.7%) refused treatment, and 35 (3.1%) left without the physician’s approval. Of the hospitalized patients, 20 (1.8%) were admitted to the intensive care unit, and four (0.4%) were referred to other hospitals. Upon examination of in-hospital mortality, it was determined that 1,132 (99.7%) patients survived, and three (0.3%) died. When assessing the association between injury locations according to the use of full-body protective equipment, a correlation was found in terms of head and neck, lung, extremity, pelvis, and multi-trauma injuries. Conclusion: Regardless of traffic density, the use of protective equipment by motorcycle drivers prevents serious injuries in accidents. The EMTRAS and ESI scores are clinical prediction tools that can be used to predict mortality and morbidity in motorcycle accidents [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to focus on the development, methods and techniques, and application areas of the Somatic Experiencing (SE) approach, which is a relatively new and short-term approach in working with trauma and emergency situations. In this context, SE is an approach that works with the nervous system after traumatic events such as disasters and emergencies and supports the wellbeing of the person through this system. Turkey is a country where migration, disasters, crises, and emergencies occur frequently because of its geographical location. SE, on the other hand, has shown its effectiveness in working with trauma with short-term interventions after disasters and emergencies with many studies. The subject has been handled with a hermeneutic approach with a content analysis method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Madde kullanımı ve bağımlılığı sorunu ülkemizde ve dünyada giderek yaygınlaşan bir sorundur. Yapılan araştırmalara göre madde kullanımında başlama, madde kullanımını sürdürme ve tedaviye başvurma ve toplumsal damgalama bağlamında cinsiyete göre farklılıklar söz konusudur. Bu çalışmada madde kullanımı cinsiyet değişkenine göre değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, kadın, madde kullanımı ve bağımlılığı ile damgalama anahtar kelimeleri verilerek literatür göden geçirmesi yapılmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar derleme olarak sunulmuştur. Elde edilen bulguların başında ilk kez madde denemede erkeklerin akranlarından kadınların ise daha çok duygusal ilişkide oldukları partnerlerinden etkilenmesi gelmektedir. Yine madde kullanmaya başlama yaşı, sürdürme gerekçeleri de cinsiyete göre fark göstermektedir. Kadınların toplumda erkeklerden daha fazla fizik sel/d uygus al/ci nsel travmaya maruz kalması madde kullanımına başlamada önemli bir etkendir. Kadınların bağımlılık eşiğinin erkeklere oranla daha düşük ve nüks oranlarının daha yüksek olduğunu gösteren çalışmalar mevcuttur. Tedaviye ilk başvuru, ek psikiyatrik komorbidite ve toplumsal damgalamada kadın cinsiyetin daha dezavantajlı olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak, bağımlılık ile ilgili müdahale çalışmalarında cinsiyetin önemli bir belirleyici olduğu göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, avülsiyonun acil müdahalesinde Türkçe YouTube™ videolarının hasta bilgi kaynağı olarak, içerik ve kalitesinin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: YouTube™ videolarının değerlendirilmesi için ‘avülsiyon, diş travması, diş yaralanmaları ve dişin yerinden çıkması’ anahtar kelimeleri kullanıldı. Videolar dahil edilme ve hariç tutulma kriterlerine göre titizlikle incelendi. Seçilen videoların içerikleri, Uluslararası Dental Travmatoloji Derneği’nin son tedavi rehberinin avülsiyon yaralanmalarında uygulanması gereken önermelere göre, 9 puanlık bir yararlılık skoru ile puanlandı. Yararlılık skoruna göre video içeriği; zayıf (0-3), orta (4-6) ve mükemmel (7-9) şeklinde üç gruba ayrıldı. Videoların kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde, videoların genel kalitesini derecelendiren Küresel Kalite Ölçeği (GQS) kullanıldı. Videoların güvenilirliği DISCERN güvenirlik aracına göre puanlandı. İstatistiksel analizler yapıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 240 video analiz edildi ve dahil edilme kriterlerine uyan 33 video çalışmaya dahil edildi. Video yükleme kaynağının en çok özel klinik/özel hastaneler olduğu (% 36.4; n=12), fakat bu kuruluşlar tarafından yüklenen videoların çoğunun zayıf içerikli olduğu görüldü (% 66.7; n=8). Videoların hedef kitlesinin çoğunlukla hastalar (% 78.8; n=26) olduğu görüldü. Videoların yararlılık skoruna göre, % 45.5’i zayıf, % 30.3’ü orta ve % 24.2’si mükemmel olarak sınıflandırıldı. Sonuç: YouTube™ genellikle avülse dişlerin yönetimi ile ilgili düşük yararlılığa sahip videolar sunmaktadır. Bu nedenle, diş hekimleri bu kaynağın farkında olmalı ve hastaları/ebeveynleri YouTube™ videolarındaki bilgilerin güvenilirliği ve yanıltıcı içerik barındırabileceği konusunda uyarmalıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Acil Müdahale, Avülsiyon, Travma, YouTube™

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease frequently encountered in the liver and lungs, caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. Occasionally, hydatid cysts can be seen in the spleen, kidney, heart, bone, ovaries, and peritoneal cavity. We presented a case of extrahepatic intra-abdominal hydatid cyst, which we detected incidentally in an eight-year-old girl who was investigated for post-traumatic abdominal pain. A radiologic examination of the patient showed a midline cystic mass including septations superior to the bladder, and mesenteric cyst, ovarian mass, and hydatid cyst were considered for differential diagnosis. The indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test result of the patient was negative (<1/160), and the diagnosis of hydatid cyst was made by the histopathological evaluation and microscopic examination of cyst fluid following the removal of cystic mass which was well circumscribed by omentum. We believe that extrahepatic hydatid cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intra-abdominal cystic masses, particularly in endemic regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Paul Auster, one of the most distinguished contemporary American writers, creates a multi-layered narrative within his novel Man in the Dark. Published in 2008, this literary work addresses essential themes and concerns relating to American history as well as social and political agendas of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. Precisely the events of September 11, which dramatically added a new dimension to the trauma studies, lie in the core of the Auster's narrative. The author besides focusing on the effects of a traumatic experience on a human being, creates an alternative vision of history that pushes the reader to question the essence of existence. By merging countless narratives, both personal and national, the author initiates a journey of healing for his characters, ultimately guiding them toward recovery. Thus, one of the major focuses of this article will be to follow the evolution of traumatized personalities within the frames of current trauma studies. On the other hand, investigating the subtle bond between national and personal traumas will illuminate the reciprocal relationship between collective memory and individual experience, shedding light on the profound ways in which historical events can shape personal narratives. Hence the article seeks to disentangle the intricate connections between history, memory, and healing, offering a comprehensive exploration of Auster's contribution to the understanding of the human predicament.

AIn the early 20th century, the Ottoman Empire lost the Balkan Peninsula, which it had ruled for nearly half a millennium. The loss of the Balkans traumatized the Ottoman elites in particular. One of the most prominent consequences of this trauma was the culture of criticism, including military, administrative, political, economic, moral and social spheres, aimed at understanding the causes and consequences of the defeat in the Balkan Wars. The treatise Millet-i Gayri Müsellaha, which is the subject of our study, sees the reasons for the loss of the Balkans in the lack of opportunity, potential and political consciousness of different segments of Ottoman society. In other words, according to the author, the loss of the Balkans was a natural consequence of the great difference between these shortcomings of the Muslim Turks and the planned and conscious behavior of the Balkan separatist nationalists. The author of the work is İsmail Hakkı Akoğuz, who fought against the gangs operating in Macedonia to gain independence from the Ottoman Empire, then served in the Balkan Wars, then in World War I, and finally in high-ranking military positions in the Republican Era. Therefore, the Treatise which the author wrote as a first lieutenant in the immediate aftermath of the Balkan Wars, is based on facts and events that he mostly experienced and sometimes observed during his time in Macedonia.

Trauma is undoubtedly one of the terms that best describe the experiences of the present and the previous centuries. The term comes to the agenda with the damages occurring in human psychology in parallel with the destructions caused by the modern war concept of the twentieth century. Following its official recognition by the American Psychiatric Association in 1980, trauma has set a new focus in literature, psychology, and history with the studies of theoreticians such as Cathy Caruth, Shoshana Felman, and Dominick LaCapra in the 1990s. From Freud to Caruth, the argument that trauma cannot be directly experienced, therefore, is inexplicable, nevertheless, the necessity of being told for recovery determine the tension at the center of the trauma theory. However, since the beginning of the twenty-first century, contemporary theorists such as Ruth Leys, Steff Craps, and Michelle Balaev criticise the definition and structure of trauma by Caruth and others. Contemporary trauma theories, known as the pluralist model due to the diversity and differences it contains, reject the argument that trauma is unspeakable and assert that traditional trauma theory is Western-centred. Therefore, they offer more inclusive and multicultural trauma models. Thanks to its power to challenge boundaries such as voicing the unspeakable and imagining the unimaginable in real life, literature becomes the most visited platform by trauma theories. Both the traditional trauma theorists pioneered by Caruth and the pluralist model frequently appeal to literature. Based on this interaction, the present study sets out to examine the relationship between trauma and literature in light of traditional and contemporary trauma theories after a brief discussion of the genealogy of trauma.

This article presents a retrospective study conducted at a university hospital in Brazil on right-sided traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (TDH). The study found that most cases of right-sided TDH were caused by blunt trauma, particularly motor vehicle collisions. The liver was the most commonly herniated organ in these cases. The study emphasized the importance of early recognition and surgical intervention for diaphragmatic injuries, as they can be associated with severe injuries and high mortality rates. The study also highlighted the challenges in diagnosing right-sided TDH due to hemodynamic instability upon admission. [Extracted from the article]
