Evaluation of index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Background: Various electrocardiographic (ECG) changes occur after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Prolonged QT and corrected QT (QTc) intervals are notable changes. QT, QTc, T peak-to-end T(p-e) intervals, and Tp-e/QTc ratio are used as ventricular arrhythmia indices.

Influence of COVID-19 disease on subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage.

This study aims to make a comparative evaluation of the change in the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage [intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)] cases that attended our hospital in the Covid-19 pandemic period with that of the same term one year ago. This study included 80 patients diagnosed with ICH and/or SAH in the period that started with the pandemic in 2020. It was determined that 51 patients had been diagnosed with ICH and/or SAH during the same period of 2019.

Evaluation of Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio and index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance in patients with tinnitus.

Background: Tinnitus is a common auditory symptom. Dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is an essential part of the etiopathogenesis of tinnitus. ANS regulates heart rate and heart rhythm and can lead to ventricular repolarization changes, which can cause malignant ventricular arrhythmias.

Effects of Benidipine Hydrochloride on Ischemia Reperfusion Injury of Rat Brain.

Aim: To evaluate the neuroprotective effects of benidipine hydrochloride on the cerebral cortex tissues in rats exposed to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into three groups, and administered benidipine hydrochloride (10 ?g/kg/day) orally through a catheter for 2 h to form the study group (BIR group, n=8). The I/R procedure was performed in the rats of the IR group (n=8), and a sham group was formed to determine the normal structure of the cerebral cortex (n=8).

Steel rod impalement injuries involving the spine: A case report and literature review.

Steel rod impalements, mostly experienced by construction workers due to falls from heights, are known entities, but only some individuals unfortunately suffer spinal cord injury. The management of the spine involved injuries is challenging due to the lack of guidelines, various clinical presentations resulting from different trajectories, and high risk of infection. We report a case of steel rod impalement involving the spinal canal and review the literature to enhance the management strategies and to identify the risk factors for possible complications, particularly infection.
