Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether cilostazol (phosphodiesterase III inhibitor) could enhance the healing of Achilles tendon ruptures in rats.
Materials And Methods: The Achilles tendons of 24 healthy male adult rats were incised and repaired. The rats were randomly allocated to cilostazol and control groups.
Is Lateral Onset Cross Pin Technique Strong Enough? A Biomechanical Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to biomechanically assess and compare four different pin techniques used in treating supracondylar humeral fractures, focusing on Lateral Onset Cross-Pinning (LXP) versus other configurations.
- Biomechanical testing was conducted on 52 synthetic humeri using various pin configurations (crossed pins, 2 lateral pins, 3 lateral pins, and LXP) to measure displacement and load under different bending scenarios.
- Results indicate that the 2 lateral pins group displayed lower varus and flexion load values compared to the other techniques, while LXP showed biomechanical similarities to the traditional crossed pins technique, particularly in cases requiring medial pin usage.
Objective: The patient's age, gender and the presence of certain concomitant diseases have been reported to play a part in the course and progression of COVID-19 in the literature. In this study, we aimed to compare the comorbidities causing mortality in critically ill Intensive Care Unit (ICU)-patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
Patients And Methods: The data as regards the COVID-19 cases followed up in the ICU were retrospectively reviewed.
