The detailed transseptal puncture technique for optimal closure in patients with a patent foramen ovale.

Background: The closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) using transseptal puncture has particular advantages and disadvantages. Thus, transseptal puncture should be re-evaluated in detail.

Aims: We aimed to assess the effectiveness of the detailed transseptal puncture technique in patients who underwent PFO closure due to cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack in terms of residual shunts and atrial fibrillation.

Biochemical Evaluation of the Effects of Concentrated Growth Factor Liquid on Osseointegration: A Split-Mouth Design Study.

Purpose: To investigate cytokine levels in peri-implant crevicular fluid and thus evaluate the effects of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on osseointegration.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 mandibular implants were symmetrically placed in a group of 20 systemically healthy patients enrolled in the study. In each patient, one implant wetted with liquid infiltrated from fibrin matrix was placed in the test side (Group L), and the other implant was placed in the control side without the application of any material (Group C).

Ebselen, an Active Seleno-Organic Compound, Alleviates Articular Cartilage Degeneration in a Rat Model of Knee Osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent articular disease mainly characterized by extracellular matrix degradation, apoptosis, and inflammation, which lead to cartilage destruction and abnormal bone metabolism. With undesirable side effects, current limited symptomatic treatments are aimed at relieving pain and improving joint mobility in patients with OA. Intra-articular (IA) hyaluronic acid (HA) injection, as a nonsurgical therapy, is commonly used in the clinical management of knee OA, but the efficacy of this therapeutic option remains controversial.

Impact of Enoxaparin +α Lipoic acid combination on oxidative stress, follicle development and apoptotic damage in ovarian ischemia reperfusion model.

Objective: With this study we aimed at investigating the impact of enoxaparin (E) and α-lipoic acid (α-LA) on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage in an experimental ovarian torsion (T) detorsion (D) model.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised 80 female albino rats aged 12 weeks. They were divided into 8 groups as follows, with 10 rats in each group: Group 1 (Sham), Group 2 (Ischemia, 3 hours), Group 3 (I/R, 6 hours reperfusion), Group 4 (I/R, 3 days reperfusion), Group 5 (I/R, E, 6 hours), Group 6 (I/R, E, 3 days), Group 7 (I/R, E+α-LA, 6 hours), and Group 8 (I/R, E+α-LA, 3 days).
