Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of skin in unusual locations: Report of two cases.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) of the skin is a rare soft tissue sarcoma subtype with a high risk of metastasis and local recurrence. Ultraviolet exposure plays a prominent role in its etiology. Herein, we present two rare cases of UPS of the skin with an occurrence in non-ultraviolet exposed locations and discuss the need of wide resection and the identification of the depth of the tumor.

Treatment of Tibial and Femoral Bone Defects With Bone Transport Over an Intramedullary Nail.

Objectives: To evaluate the results of the bone transport over an intramedullary nail (BTON) technique for the treatment of segmental bone defects.

Design: Retrospective review of case series.

Setting: Level 1 trauma center.

Intraarticular Ankaferd blood stopper application increases cartilagedegeneration: an experimental study.

Background/aim: Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) is a mixture of certain ratios of 5 different plant roots (Thymus vulgaris, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Vitis vinifera, Alpinia officinarum, and Urtica dioica). The aim of this study is to evaluate the histopathological effects of ABS on articular cartilage in vitro.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one albino Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated to 3 groups: 0.

Acute traumatic posterior fracture dislocation of the elbow in pediatric patients: impact of surgery time and associated fractures on outcome.

This study assessed the effect of the time interval from initial injury to surgery and the presence of associated fracture on functional outcomes after acute posterior elbow fracture dislocation. Twenty-six pediatric patients were evaluated with respect to operation time point (within 24 h vs. later) and associated fracture retrospectively.

The Effect of Ankaferd Blood Stopper? on Epidural Fibrosis After Laminectomy in Rats: An Experimental Study.

Aim: Lumbar epidural fibrosis is increasingly recognized as a cause of persistent back pain. The aim of this study was to examine the effect Ankaferd Blood Stopper on epidural fibrosis following laminectomy in rat models.

Material And Methods: Twenty Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly allocated to 2 groups of 10 each.

A comparison of external fixation alone or combined with intramedullary nailing in the treatment of segmental tibial defects.

The purpose of this study was to compare the results of external fixation alone versus external fixation combined with intramedullary nailing in the reconstruction of segmental defects of the tibia resulting from chronic osteomyelitis. Thirty-two patients were treated with external fixation alone and 17 patients with the combined technique. Surgical reconstruction utilised distraction osteogenesis by focal segment transport after infection was eradicated.
