Introduction And Importance: Blunt abdominal trauma can result in various injuries, including intestinal hematomas causing obstruction. Traumatic submucosal jejunal hematomas are rare, especially in children, with bicycle handlebar injuries being a potential cause. Prompt recognition and appropriate imaging are crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

This complexity further increased with the COVID-19 pandemic, where social distancing protocols and the general reduction in non-COVID-19-related health-care services added a new dimension to the modern form of teamwork.
Methods: This study focused on the process of preparation for conjoined twin separation surgery during the pandemic from March 2020 to May 2022 with pre-pandemic era comparison.
Background: There is a role for the immune system in improving the outcome of peritonitis cases in children. Transfer factors are one immunomodulatory treatment that can increase the activity of natural killer (NK) cells to produce interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), which is thought to increase the phagocytic activity of macrophages. This study analyzed the effects of transfer factors on the phagocytic activity of macrophages in the intraperitoneal fluid of a Wistar rat model of peritonitis.

The DJ stent may migrate proximally into the renal pelvis which is a rare complication. We used a wire lasso to ensnare DJ stent ste through the nephrostomy route using a rigid cystoscope to retrieve the upward migration of DJ stent in 7 years old boy with right vesico-ureteric junction obstruction that previously had a re-implantation of the right ureter.

Methods: In this experimental study, anoplasty procedures were performed on twelve Wistar rats that were subsequently randomly placed into two groups; i.e.
Introduction: Testicular damage caused by ischemia reperfusion injury can be determined by malondialdehyde (MDA) expression and grading of the histopathological damage to seminiferous tubules. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Tationil Glutathione administration on testicular damage following experimental torsion and detorsion.
Methods: Eighteen Wistar albino rats, 5.
