Dexamethasone Addition Impairs the Therapeutic Effects of Nimodipine for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: An Experimental Animal Study.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of the combination of nimodipine and dexamethasone in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Material And Methods: In this study, 35 female adult Wistar Albino rats were randomly assigned to four groups: Sham (n=8), SAH with no treatment (n=9), SAH with nimodipine (n=9, oral gavage, 12 mg/kg, BID) treatment, and SAH with combined therapy with nimodipine and dexamethasone (n=9, intraperitoneally, 1mg/kg, BID). The "cisterna magna double injection of autologous blood" model was used.

Alpha-Tocopherol and Cyanocobalamin Combination Accelerates Peripheral Nerve Healing: An Experimental Animal Study.

Aim: To evaluate the functional and histopathological results of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and vitamin B12 on an experimental rat model of peripheral nerve injury.

Material And Methods: This research included 32 Wistar Hannover rats. The sciatic nerves of the animals were crushed using an aneurysm clamp.

Immediate versus delayed primary repair of the sciatic nerve in a nerve transaction model in rats.

Background: The debate continues concerning surgical timing in a peripheral nerve injury. This study aims to evaluate the result of immediate versus delayed primary (after seven days) repair of peripheral nerve injury.

Methods: In this study, Wistar rats were divided into four groups as follows: The nerve was sharply transected in Group 1, 2 and 4.

Role of diclofenac sodium and paracetamol on colonic anastomosis: An experimental rodent model.

Background: Despite many advances in surgery and technology, colonic anastomosis remains a challenge after colonic resection. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety of using diclofenac sodium and paracetamol for analgesia in colonic anastomosis on rats.

Methods: Wistar-Hannover rats were randomly allocated to four groups: Group 1, sham-operated group; Group 2, control group; Group 3, diclofenac sodium group; Group 4, paracetamol group.

Comparison of the Effects of Glutamine, Curcumin, and Nesfatin-1 on the Gastric Serosal Surface Neomucosa Formation: An Experimental Rodent Model.

Introduction. Short bowel syndrome can crop up if more than 50% of small intestine is resected or when less than 100 cm of small bowel is left. Glutamine is the main food source of enterocytes.
