Comparison of the effects of axillary brachial plexus block, inhalation anesthesia, and total intravenous anesthesia on tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury in upper extremity surgery.

Background: Post-ischemia reperfusion can lead to oxidative stress and an increase in oxidative markers. Employing preventive strategies and antioxidant agents may help mitigate ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The use of a tourniquet in extremity surgery has been associated with IRI.

Effects of hazelnut supplemented diet on doxorubicin-induced damage of reproductive system in male rats.

The present study was objected to investigate the effect of hazelnut supplemented diet on the levels of oxidative stress and fertility parameters against doxorubicin-induced testicular and epididymal tissue damage of male rats. Rats were randomly divided into four groups (each n = 8), namely control group (CG), doxorubicin group (DG), doxorubicin + hazelnut group (DHG), and doxorubicin + vitamin E group (DEG). This is the first study designed using DHG.

Hazelnut consumption improves testicular antioxidant function and semen quality in young and old male rats.

The effects of hazelnut supplemented diet on the reproductive system of young and old male rats were investigated. Young male rats were grouped into young control group (YCG) and young hazelnut group (YHG). Old male rats were grouped into old control group (OCG), old hazelnut group (OHG), and old vitamin E group (OEG).

Cytotoxic effect of extract on human colon cancer cells through repression of telomerase expression.

is a member of the genus that has long been used for medical objectives. Several studies have reported cytotoxic effects of different species, but there has been only limited investigation of the cytotoxic effect of . The purpose of the current study was to examine the potential effect of extract on cell viability, the cell cycle, apoptosis, and the expression of telomerase in human colon cancer (WiDr) cells.

Dexmedetomidine acts as an oxidative damage prophylactic in rats exposed to ionizing radiation.

Study Objective: To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on oxidative injury caused by ionizing radiation.

Design: Randomized controlled experimental study.

Setting: Department of radiation oncology and research laboratory of an academic hospital.

Bedside assessment of central venous pressure by sonographic measurement of right ventricular outflow-tract fractional shortening.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the suitability of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) fractional shortening for estimating low central venous pressure (CVP). To the best of our knowledge, there have been no similar studies in the English language literature.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the emergency physicians measured the RVOT fractional shortening on parasternal short-axis view.
