Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different methods of managing testicular torsion impact testicular injury and long-term health.
- Researchers used forty adult male rats and divided them into five groups to test intermittent reperfusion, hypothermia, and their combined effects on recovering from torsion.
- After 60 days, the rats' testicles were analyzed to assess the effectiveness of these techniques in reducing reperfusion injury and preserving testicular tissue.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how lidocaine and prilocaine, local anesthetics (LAs), affect the muscle responses of rat trachea during airway spasms.
- Researchers used 16 male rats and observed the tracheal contractions after applying these LAs, comparing their effects at different tension levels (basal and supramaximal).
- The results showed that lidocaine significantly relaxed tracheal tissue more than prilocaine, especially during stronger contractions, suggesting lidocaine is the better choice for patients with respiratory risks.
Introduction: Ischemia in ovarian torsion and subsequent reperfusion has significant effects on fertility in the long term. The most important reason for these changes is thought to be a reperfusion injury rather than ischemia. We aimed to evaluate whether the reperfusion injury following ovarian detorsion could be reduced by hypothermia and intermittent reperfusion.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 adult male rats were used, and 5 groups were created: sham (Sh; n = 8), torsion (T; torsion-detorsion) (n = 8), intermittent reperfusion (IR; n = 8), hypothermia (H; n = 8), and intermittent reperfusion+hypothermia (H+IR; n = 8).
Objective Acute mesenteric ischaemia leads to intestinal damage. Restoration of blood flow results in further damage to tissue, which is called reperfusion injury. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of short-interval postconditioning and to determine the optimal interval for reperfusion in an experimental rat model of intestinal ischaemia.

Adnexal torsion may result from pre-existing tubal or ovarian pathology or hyperstimulation of the ovary during ovulation. Early diagnosis and emergency surgical treatment (detorsion) are important to preserve fertility and to prevent peritonitis or loss of the adnexa.

The aims of this study were to investigate the long-term protective effects of short-interval postconditioning on testicular atrophy and to optimize the reperfusion period.
Materials And Methods: Forty adult male rats were divided into 5 subgroups: sham operated; torsion + detorsion; torsion + postconditioning, 5 seconds (PC5); torsion + postconditioning, 10 seconds; and torsion + postconditioning, 20 seconds.
Aim: Testicular torsion can lead to testicular damage. During reperfusion, tissue damage is more severe. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of short-interval postconditioning and determine the optimal time of reperfusion for postconditioning.

Turk J Pediatr
December 2010
Total leukocyte count (TLC) and neutrophil count are not reliable parameters in the diagnosis of appendicitis in children, necessitating a search for more sensitive criteria. This study's goal was to investigate the diagnostic value of neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio in childhood appendicitis. The patients admitted for acute abdominal symptoms were reviewed retrospectively.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFPrevention of tissue damage after testicular torsion caused by I/R injury is still a clinical and experimental problem. There are many experimental studies made with several chemicals in the literature for decreasing the effect of reactive oxygen species after ischemia and reperfusion. Dexpanthenol (Dxp) is the biologically active alcohol of pantothenic acid.

- An intestinal obstruction due to a rare congenital band was observed in a 7-year-old boy, who had previously experienced mild abdominal swelling and failure to thrive since infancy.
- During examination, the boy exhibited no previous severe symptoms like abdominal pain or fever.
- A surgical procedure revealed that the obstruction was caused by a band compressing the ileal loop, which was surgically removed and shown to consist of loose connective tissue with mature blood vessels.
Urethral duplication is among the rarest congenital anomalies and is characterized by two urethral canals. The urethral canals are most commonly located in the sagittal plane. We present a case of abortive hypospadiac urethral duplication and its surgical management with tubularized incised plate urethroplasty.

- Local flaps, especially the tri-lobed skin flap, are being explored for reconstructive surgery, particularly for full thickness defects in facial areas like the ears.
- A study involving rabbits tested this new flap technique, comparing a group with tissue expansion to a group without it.
- Results showed that the expanded group successfully created new ears without complications, while the non-expanded group suffered flap necrosis, indicating that the tri-lobed flap technique may be effective for reconstructive surgeries in humans.
Article Synopsis
- Tubularization is crucial in reconstructive surgery for hypospadias, where achieving the right tube diameter is vital.
- A new technique, 'double vertical incision', was tested in rabbits and proved to create wider lumen diameters compared to other methods, showing significant statistical differences.
- This technique is easier, minimizes scarring, and has been successfully applied in patients, yielding good results without complications.
Complications of neonatal circumcision are generally minor and occur early; a few reports exist on the late or serious kind. The authors describe a case of urethrocutaneous fistula occurring 13 years postcircumcision. The patient also had a skin bridge, another late complication of circumcision.

The authors present an 8-year old boy with nontraumatic myositis ossificans circumscripta in the left paravertebral muscle. In diagnostic workup, ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT)-scan showed a well marginated, regular, ossified mass in the paravertebral muscle, but we were not able to exclude malignancy on the clinical grounds.
