Objective: The aim of this study was to compare size 2 Laryngeal Mask Airway ProSeal and size 2 Laryngeal Mask Airway Supreme in spontaneously breathing children undergoing lower abdominal elective surgery of <1 hour duration.
Study Design: Randomized clinical trial.
Material And Methods: Sixty children aged 1-7 years, weighing 10-20 kg, ASA I physical status were randomly allocated to the Laryngeal Mask Airway ProSeal and Laryngeal Mask Airway Supreme.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate how trauma characteristics and outcomes differ between genders in a rural hospital.
Methods: Records of trauma patients admitted to a state emergency department (ED) in eastern Turkey, between January 2006 and December 2007 were reviewed and data were analysed based on gender.
Results: In total, 5379 (87.
Background: There is a grey zone about the epidemiology of trauma in eastern Turkey. The present study was aimed at obtaining data on this subject.
Methods: Trauma patients who applied to the emergency department (ED) between January 2006 and December 2007 were analyzed.
We investigated the influence of small- and large-dose capsaicin in modulating systemic inflammatory responses during different stages of sepsis in rats. Rats were divided into six groups: group C, control; group S, sepsis; group CLC, small dose of capsaicin (1 mg/kg subcutaneously); group SLC, small dose of capsaicin plus sepsis; group CHC, large dose of capsaicin (150 mg/kg subcutaneously); group SHC, large dose of capsaicin plus sepsis. Rats were made septic by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).

The aim of this study is to investigate if IFN-alpha has a prophylaxic effect on experimental NEC development in newborn rat pups. Twenty eight Wistar Albino newborn rat pups were divided into three groups.

Methods: Forty swiss albino rats were divided into 3 groups.
Background/purpose: Persistent inflammatory response secondary to congenital or acquired biliary choleastasis plays an important role in the pathophysiology of hepatic tissue damage. The polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been shown to suppress the inflammatory reactions in vivo and in vitro. PUFA has been shown also to protect against various types of experimental liver damage in animal models and isolated hepatocytes.

Intestinal mucosa is the primary site responsible for these complications. De-epithelialization of the mucosa and subsequent urothelialization might alleviate these problems.

The authors aimed to document the results and the complications of 1,554 regional anesthesia cases, thereby assessing their validity.
Methods: The analysis of 1,459 caudal and 95 spinal blocks cases collected until January 2001 in children from newborn to 12 years of age are documented retrospectively.
