The effect of ozone treatment on remote organ myocardial injury in an aortic ischemia-reperfusion model.

Background: This study aims to investigate the effect of ozone on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury occurring after occlusion - reperfusion of infrarenal abdominal aorta in rats.

Methods: Thirty-two Wistar albino rats (weighing 200-250 g) were randomized into four equal groups. The control (sham) group underwent laparotomy and dissection of the infrarenal abdominal aorta without occlusion.

A case of naso-ophthalmic myiasis.

Myiasis is defined as an occupational disease and it is mainly seen in people who are in contact with animals, in particular sheep. We detected nasal and external ophthalmomyiasis caused by Oestrus ovis in a 33-year-old male who worked as a research assistant in the faculty of agriculture. The presenting complaints were severe foreign body sensation and discharge in the nose, cough, and foreign body sensation in the right eye.

[Stress fractures in children and adolescents].

The incidence of stress fractures in young athletes has increased with the popularization of sports among children and adolescents. Stress fractures are less common in children and adolescents than in adults. A combination of intrinsic or anatomical factors and extrinsic factors such as training pitfalls and environmental insufficiencies predispose athletes to stress fractures.

[Doxorubicin-induced chemomyectomy effects in rat skeletal muscle].

Objectives: This study was based on the assumption that decreased number of active muscle fibres in the spastic muscle may be associated with restoration of the balance. Hence, the effect of doxorubicin was evaluated in inducing permanent cell necrosis on skeletal muscle (chemomyectomy).

Methods: Eighteen Wistar rats were divided into two groups, equal in size, to receive doxorubicin injections (0.
