Momordica charantia Enhances Tendon Healing in Rats: An Experimental Study.

Momordica charantia (MC) is a traditional plant widely used since ancient times for wound healing. This study evaluated its potential effects on tendon healing. Adult male Wistar albino rats (n = 32, 8 rats in each group) were anesthetized, and their Achilles tendons were prepared for surgical procedures.

Comparison of the analgesic effects of paracetamol and tramadol in lumbar disc surgery.

Background/aim: To compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy and side effects of paracetamol and tramadol in patients undergoing lumbar disc surgery.

Materials And Methods: Group P (paracetamol group) was given 1 g of paracetamol intravenously 30 min before the end of the operation and 1 g each day at 6-h intervals. Group T (tramadol group) was given 1.

[Who is responsible for the postoperative nerve injury? Anesthesia? Orthopedics? Trauma?].

In the pathogenesis of peripheral nerve injury, mechanical as well as vascular pressure, and chemical reasons play a role. In the applications of peripheral nerve block, there can be mechanical injury due to the type of needle and intrafascicular injections. In humerus fractures, nerve injury can be seen due to the surgical retractions and close proximity of the nerves with the bone.

The effect of dexketoprofen on ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of dexketoprofen on experimental ischemia/reperfusion injury induced in rat testicles.

Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar albino-type rats were randomly separated into three groups. To develop testicular torsion, the right testicle was rotated 720° clockwise.

[Effect of intravenous dexketoprofen use on postoperative analgesic consumption in patients with lumbar disc surgery].

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of a preemptive, single-dose intravenous dexketoprofen administration in patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy.

Methods: A total of 50 ASA I-II patients candidate to laminectomy were included in this study. They were divided in two groups.
