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.

Cyanocobalamin and cholecalciferol synergistically improve functional and histopathological nerve healing in experimental rat model.

Background And Purpose: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a frequent problem among young adults. Hopefully, regeneration can occur in PNI unlike central nervous system. If nerve cut is complete, gold standard treatment is surgery, but incomplete cuts have been tried to be treated by medicines.

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.

Primary Endometrial Adenocarcinoma with Signet-Ring Cells: A Rarely Observed Case and Review of the Literature.

An extremely rare case of a "primary endometrial adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cells" is presented in this study with microscopical images of the characteristic coexistence of the tumour and intermediate precancerous areas containing signet-ring cells.

MIB-1 counting methods in meningiomas and agreement among pathologists.

Objective: To evaluate the correlation of MIB-1 labeling index (LI) obtained by 2 counting methods with histologic grade and investigate interobserver variability between these methods.

Study Design: A total of 65 meningiomas were analyzed for proliferation with 2 counting methods by 2 pathologists using MIB-1 antibody. In the first method, the most densely staining areas were counted (HL method).
