Can the outcome of autoaugmentation omentocystoplasty be improved? Urodynamic, histological, and collagen content evaluation in sheep model.

Aim: To compare histological and urodynamic outcome of the classical detrusorotomy with and without the aid of intravesical balloon distension. We also describe a new technique with multiple detrusor incisions instead of detrusorotomy.

Methods: A total of 24 animals were included in the study.

Effect of Mg2SO4 usage on spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury: electron microscopic and functional evaluation.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of intravenous magnesium sulfate (Mg(2)SO(4)) administration on ischemia-reperfusion injury of the spinal cord.

Material And Methods: Sixteen rabbits were randomly assigned to the control (group I, 8 rabbits) and the study group (group II, 8 rabbits). The abdominal aorta was clamped for a period of 30 min followed by a reperfusion period of 60 min.

Contractile response of different segments of the latissimus dorsi muscle to chronic stimulation.

Objective: This study was planned to investigate if there is any difference in terms of the muscle force between the distal and proximal segments of the latissimus dorsi muscle.

Subjects And Methods: An inplantable mock circulation system was placed around the latissimus dorsi muscle. The wrapping procedure around the implantable mock circulation was performed by using two different latissimus dorsi muscle segments.

Magnesium-enriched coronary sinus retroperfusion during acute coronary artery occlusion.

Background: The protective effect of coronary sinus retroperfusion in cases of ischaemic myocardium is clearly known. It restores the blood flow to the ischaemic tissue, reduces the infarct size, and improves the left ventricular pump function.

Methods: In this study, we investigated the effects of coronary sinus retroperfusion with the addition of magnesium sulphate on myocardial haemodynamics.
