- The study examined the effects of combining ozone therapy with antibiotherapy on lung tissue in a sepsis model using rats infected with E. coli.
- Rats were organized into five groups, with some receiving antibiotics alone and others receiving antibiotics combined with different doses of ozone.
- Results showed that while ozone had some negative effects, higher ozone doses were associated with less tissue damage, particularly in inflammation scores compared to the untreated group.

Objective: In the treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), the influence of safety and applicability of uniportal video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) bullectomy/blebectomy and pleurectomy method were evaluated in 46 patients.
Methods: Between November 2010 and January 2019, 46 patients (36 males, 10 females; mean age 24.2 years; range 16-36 years) undergoing uniportal video thoracoscopic bullectomy/blebectomy and apical pleurectomy for primary spontaneous pneumothorax were evaluated retrospectively at Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University (COMU).
