Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two methods—plate screw system and intramedullary nailing—used in treating humeral shaft fractures, specifically looking at stress shielding through finite element analysis.
- Advanced imaging techniques, specifically CT scans, were utilized to create a detailed 3D model of the humerus, which was then analyzed using specialized software.
- Results indicated that intramedullary nailing produced less stress and fewer concentrations on the implants compared to the plate system, suggesting it may be a more effective method for osteosynthesis in these fractures.
Background: The treatment of patients presenting with the diagnosis of incarcerated and/or strangulated inguinal hernia is mostly surgery. If strangulation and necrosis are present, the need for laparotomy arises, which may increase the risk of morbidity. Currently, it is not possible to clearly determine whether there is bowel ischemia and necrosis before surgery.

Materials And Methods: The study included 65 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis at the General Surgery Clinic of Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital. All patients' demographic data, previous history of cholecystitis, a history of chronic illness, preoperative white blood count (WBC), liver function tests (AST, ALT), amylase and lipase levels, intra-operative adhesion score, the ultrasonographic appearance of gall bladder, duration of hospital stay, duration of operation, thiol disulfide and IMA values were evaluated.
