A rare case: Congenital thoracic ectopic kidney with diaphragmatic eventration.

Thoracic ectopic kidney is a rare developmental anomaly that is the least frequent one among all forms of ectopic kidneys. The condition is generally asymptomatic. If a kidney image is missing on one side in renalor pelvic region in sonographic examination, the possibility of thoracic ectopic kidney should be taken into consideration.

Effects of High-Dose Rocuronium on the QTc Interval During Anaesthesia Induction in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.

Objective: Existing myocardial damage in coronary artery disease patients causes prolonged QT syndrome. The primary objective of this trial is to explore the effects of different doses of the muscle relaxant agent rocuronium (0.6 mg kg(-1) and 1.

Assessment of pulmonary artery pressure and right ventricular function in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy using different parameters.

Objective: Our aim was comparison of preoperative and postoperative right ventricular functions of children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) who have findings of upper airway obstruction, using new echocardiographic parameters.

Methods: Forty-one children who have admitted to our hospital with symptoms suggestive of upper airway obstruction, whose history and physical examination findings suggest upper airway obstruction and who have undergone adenoidectomy/adenotonsillectomy and 40 healthy children, all of whom between 2 and 12 years of age, were included in the study. Patient group was evaluated by pulsed wave tissue Doppler echocardiography as well as with conventional echocardiography before the operation and 6 months after the operation.

Increased plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and myeloperoxidase levels may predict ischemia during myocardial perfusion imaging in slow coronary flow.

Background And Aims: It is unclear whether changes in plasma levels of inflammatory markers could explain the link between ischemia and slow coronary flow (SCF). The aim of the study was to evaluate the plasma levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin (IL)-6, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) during myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in SCF patients.

Methods: The study population consisted of 53 SCF patients and 30 controls.

Percutaneous fixation of anterior column acetabular fracture in a renal transplant recipient.

Renal transplantation, performed per million population, ranges from 30 to 60 in developed countries. The transplanted kidney is generally placed in iliac fossa; therefore the treatment procedure of the pelvic trauma in these patients should be selected carefully. The gold standard technique for the treatment of displaced acetabulum fractures is open reduction and internal fixation.

Study of the neuroprotective effect of ginseng on superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) levels in experimental diffuse head trauma.

Background: The purpose of our study was to investigate the effect of ginseng on antioxidant enzyme levels in brain damage following experimental diffuse head trauma in rats. The neuroprotective effect of ginseng was also studied.

Methods: In this study, rats were divided into four groups, and the rats in group 1 received no intervention.

Phototoxic dermatitis due to Chenopodium album in a child.

In this article, we report a 2-year-old girl with severe phototoxic dermatitis caused by ingestion of Chenopodium album. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of phototoxic dermatitis due to Chenopodium album in childhood.
