Methods: Pediatric patients (n = 184) with acute appendicitis confirmed by histopathology were enrolled in a prospective cohort study from January 2019 to May 2020. Medical history, demographic and clinical data were recorded in the study protocol.
Aim: Controversy exists concerning the relation between (HP) infection and coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to examine the relationship between HP infection and severity of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with chronic CAD.
Patients And Methods: A total of 150 patients (109 [73%] men; mean age 62.
Background: Our aim was to determine the effectiveness of a new surgical technique for olecranon fractures using a tension plate (TP) designed by the operating surgeon.
Methods: We included patients with olecranon fractures treated between September 2010 and August 2013 in our study. Treatment involved a new implant and operative technique, which combined the most favourable characteristics of 2 frequently used methods, tension band wiring and plate osteosynthesis, while eliminating their shortcomings.
