Efficacy of Unilateral External Oblique Intercostal Fascial Plane Block Versus Subcostal TAP Block in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Randomized, Prospective Study.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of unilateral external oblique intercostal nerve block (EOIB) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

Material And Methods: After ethics committee approval, ASA I-II patients aged 18-70 who would undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups, external oblique intercostal nerve block (Group EOIB) and oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (Group OSTAP).

Acute hemiscrotum due to inguinoscrotal Littre hernia: a case report.

Comparison of brucella and non-specific epididymorchitis: gray scale and color Doppler ultrasonographic features.

Objective: The aim of this study is to find out if it is possible to differentiate between brucellar and non-specific epididymorchitis by comparing ultrasonography (US) and color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) findings.

Material And Methods: Fifty-six patients diagnosed to have epididymorchitis both clinically and ultrasonographically were included to study. All of the patients were investigated serologically for brucella.

Glucagon suppression with low-dose intramuscular insulin therapy in diabetic ketoacidosis.

The effects of low-dose intramuscular insulin therapy on endogenous glucagon secretion in diabetic ketoacidosis were compared prospectively with a conventional regimen. Ten patients, 4 to 15 years of age, who had 13 episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis, were alternately assigned to either group. Either 0.
