Anti-inflammatory, Antithrombotic and Cardiac Remodeling Preventive Effects of Eugenol in Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Infarction in Wistar Rat.

This study aimed to evaluate the antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-cardiac remodeling properties of eugenol in isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups, control, iso [100 mg/kg body weight was injected subcutaneously into rats at an interval of 24 h for 2 days (6th and 7th day) to induce MI] and pretreated animals with clopidogrel (0.2 mg/kg) and eugenol (50 mg/kg) orally for 7 days and intoxicated with isoproterenol (Iso + Clop) and (Iso + EG) groups.

Evolution and prognosis of bladder papillomatosis managed by endoscopic resection and endovesical BCG therapy : about 24 cases.

Background: Bladder papillomatosis is a diffuse tumor proliferation even up almost all of the bladder mucosa. We analyzed prognosis of this rare entity after conservative treatment.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutive data in 24 patients with newly diagnosed bladder transitional cell carcinoma papillomatosis.

Fournier's gangrene : what are the prognostic factors? Our experience with 40 patients.

Background: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a serious, extensive fulminant infection of the genitals and perineum. Indeed, despite antibiotics and aggressive debridement, the mortality rate of FG remains high.

Aim: Through our experience, we intent to identify effective factors in the survival of patients with FG and we try to determine how the Fournier's gangrene severity index score (FGSIS) is accurate.
