Subfatin, Asprosin, Alamandine and Maresin-1 Inflammation Molecules in Cardiopulmonary Bypass.

Purpose: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a nonphysiological procedure in which inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress are induced, hormones and hemodynamic parameters are affected, and circulation is maintained outside the body. This study aimed to examine the effects of CPB on blood subfatin (SUB), asprossin (ASP), alamandine (ALA) and maresin-1 (MaR-1) levels.

Materials And Methods: Controls and patients who underwent open-heart surgery with CPB and whose age and body mass indices were compatible with each other were included in the study.

Effects on QTc Interval of 2 Different Doses of Spinal Anesthesia in Inguinal Hernia Operations.

BACKGROUND Cardiac arrhythmia is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. In this study, through examination of the effects on the QTc interval of different doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine, we investigated the relationship with arrhythmia. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 60 patients were separated into 2 groups: spinal block was applied with 10 mg bupivacaine to Group S1 and with 15 mg to Group S2.

Dose-Dependent Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Ketamine in Liver Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.

Introduction: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is commonly observed in severe sepsis, hemorrhagic shock, liver transplantation, hepatic resection, and major trauma. Ketamine suppresses the production of cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, via NF-κB inhibition. We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of ketamine in liver I/R injury.

A comparison of ankle block and spinal anesthesia for foot surgery.

Regional anesthesia methods in the lower extremity include central blocks where spinal and epidural anesthesia are performed as well as peripheral nerve blocks, which are performed by injecting anesthetics locally to nerves. The study aimed to provide a retrospective comparison of unilateral spinal block and ankle block methods in foot operations. Some 60 ASA I-III patients who underwent operation under regional anesthesia were retrospectively examined.
