Protective effects of passiflora incarnata on ovarian ischemia/reperfusion damage in rats with ovarian torsion.
This study aimed to investigate whether Passiflora Incarnata (PI) has a protective effect against ischemia-reperfu-sion (IR)-induced oxidative and inflammatory ovarian damage. ⋯ Passiflora Incarnata exhibited antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties, promoting cell survival, histologically protecting ovarian tissue, and ameliorating IR injury by reducing oxidative stress.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of pericapsular nerve group block and femoral nerve block in spinal anesthesia position analgesia for proximal femoral fractures in geriatric patients: a randomized clinical trial.
This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of the femoral nerve block (FNB) with that of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in the lateral decubitus position for spinal anesthesia in geriatric hip fracture surgery. ⋯ Pre-operative PENG block is more effective in reducing the pain associated with spinal anesthesia position than FNB in geriatric hip fractures. Both blocks had a similar effect on posture quality and the number of spinal interventions.

Methamphetamine-related peptic ulcer perforation: a growing medical concern.
Many studies have been done in the literature on perforations due to substance abuse, and there are limited publications on perforations related to inhaled methamphetamine. Recently, in our clinic, we observed an increase in the number of patients with perforated peptic ulcer, which we think is secondary to a significant increase in the consumption of this drug. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of inhaled methamphetamine known as 'fire and ice' is a factor directly related to peptic perforation and its complications and also to determine the demographic variables of patients with peptic ulcer perforation due to this substance use, in the context of the literature. ⋯ Methamphetamine consumption, known as fire and ice, is an important risk factor for ulcer development and subsequent perforation, especially in young patients and long-term consumption of this narcotic substance. It has been determined that this risk factor, which is currently considered rare, has been seen in a very large number in a short time in our clinic. The use of this substance, which is considered a major social threat, is becoming more and more widespread, and this study is only a small part of the iceberg reflected in the general surgery clinic of a hospital.

Case ReportsAccidental late PEG dislodgment in 3 cases with a narrow stoma: Bougie dilatation rescue.
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a simple and effective method of enteral nutrition in many patients who cannot take oral food. The accidental dislodgement of the PEG tube after the maturation of the gastro-cutaneous fistula (stoma) is called late dislodgement. ⋯ In this case, the commonly followed method is to continue enteral nutrition by opening a new gastro-cutaneous fistula after the complete closing of the original stoma. Here, we present a stoma-saving bougie dilatation method in 3 cases with severely narrowed stomas after late accidental dislodgement of the PEG tube.

Histopathological and immunohistochemical investigation of the effect of Shilajit in rats with experimental spinal cord injury.
This experimental study was designed to investigate the histopathological and immunohistochemical effects of Shilajit in rats with experimentally induced spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ It is thought that the use of Shilajit in SCI will reduce the effects of secondary damage in SCI and that its administra-tion to such patients will have positive effects on the results.
