Wide-Awake Hand Surgery Experience in Patients 10 to 18 Years of Age.

Purpose: We investigated the frequency of wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) use for hand surgery in the a 10- to 18-year-old age group and patients' experiences.

Methods: Patients aged 10-18 years who had hand surgery in June 2016 to March 2020 were identified. The frequency of patients who agreed to have surgery under WALANT was calculated (%).

Zofenopril attenuates injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion on rat ovary.

Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of zofenopril in an experimental model of ovarian torsion in rats with histologic and biochemical assessments.

Material And Methods: Experimental procedures were performed on 35 female rats (Wistar albino). Rats were randomly divided into five groups as: sham (sham operated, n = 7); vehicle group 1 (torsion-detorsion, n = 7) with 2 h ischemia and 2 h reperfusion; vehicle group 2 (torsion-detorsion, n = 7) with 2 h ischemia and 5 days' reperfusion; zofenopril group 1 (torsion-detorsion, n = 7) with 2 h ischemia, 2 h reperfusion and a signal dose of oral 15 mg/kg zofenopril; and zofenopril group 2 (torsion-detorsion, n = 7) with 2 h ischemia, 5 days' reperfusion and 5 days' oral 15 mg/kg zofenopril.

Protective effect of colchicine on ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury: an experimental study.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the efficiency of colchicine in the experimental rat ovarian torsion model in the light of histological and biochemical data.

Study Design: A total of 35 Wistar albino female rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, group 1: (control-sham operated, n = 7); group 2: (torsion/detorsion, n = 7) 2 hours of ischemia and 2 hours of reperfusion; group 3: (torsion/detorsion, n = 7), 2 hours of ischemia and 5 days of reperfusion; group 4: (torsion/detorsion, n = 7) 2 hours of ischemia and 2 hours of reperfusion and a signal dose of oral 1 mL/kg colchicine; and group 5: (torsion/detorsion, n = 7), 2 hours of ischemia and 5 days of reperfusion and 5 days of oral 1 mg/kg colchicine. Histopathologic evaluation was performed by a scoring that assesses congestion, bleeding, edema, and cellular degeneration in the ovarian tissue.

Comparison of personality beliefs between depressed patients and healthy controls.

Introduction: According to the cognitive model, the common mechanism underlying all psychological disorders is distorted or dysfunctional thoughts that affect mood and behaviors. Dysfunctional thoughts predispose an individual to depression and are among the processes that form the basis of personality traits. Elucidating the personality beliefs associated with depression and dysfunctional thoughts is important to understanding and treating depression.

The association of intramammarian arterial calcifications detected on mammography with coronary artery disease and its risk factors.

Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the association of intramammarian arterial calcifications seen on mammography with coronary artery disease and its risk factors and to discuss intramammarian arterial calcifications value as a predictor of coronary artery disease.

Material And Methods: Mammography was performed on 55 women over 40 years of age who have undergone coronary angiography and have not had a mammography in the past year. Coronary angiography results, coronary artery disease risk factors and intramammarian arterial calcifications are evaluated.
