Introduction: Gas gangrene, is an aggressive and life-threatening necrotizing infection of soft tissues. We report a case of upper-limb trauma resulting in clostridial gas gangrene.
Case Report: A 36-year-old healthy male presented to our department with a left humeral shaft fracture and an open elbow fracture.
Purpose: Evaluate visual evoked potential (VEP) and ocular trauma score (OTS) efficacy in predicting visual potential in globe trauma without optic nerve involvement.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzed clinical data from eye globe injury cases undergoing flash VEP between January 2000 and May 2021. Inclusion criteria: flash VEP completion within 48 hours, pre-surgical intervention.
This study aimed to examine the incidence rate of early reoperations following hip fracture surgery and determine the safety of resuming direct oral anticoagulants. Many orthopedic surgeons are reluctant to resume chronic anticoagulation therapy for patients after surgical intervention for hip fractures. One of the main reasons is the potential for reoperation in the case of surgical complications.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) treated with an insulin pump and sensor that enabled the SAP feature during pregnancy. SAP use was defined as utilization of either low-glucose suspend (LGS) or predictive LGS technology.
Background: Laser Tissue Soldering (LTS) is a promising tissue bonding technique in which a solder is applied between the tissues and then irradiated by laser, causing it to solidify and form links with the tissue.
Methods: A comprehensive systematic review summarizing the state of research of LTS in the gastrointestinal tract.
Results: Most studies were conducted on large animal tissues, using liquid proteinaceous solder, and irradiated by a continuous wave laser at 808 nm.
