Prospective evolution of body compositions based on bioelectrical impedance analysis and water intake on patients with gallstone.
We aimed to compare bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) body composition and to reveal predictive factors that may help prevent gallstone formation. ⋯ The MWID and BFP level measured by the BIA technique, which is an easily applicable, noninvasive method, are independent risk factors for gallstone formation.

Case ReportsRepair experience of external iliac artery dissection using internal iliac artery transposition during renal transplantation.
Graft and surgery-related complications still pose a problem in kidney transplant surgery. Vascular complications due to surgery can be severe, threatening both graft and recipient life. ⋯ However, studies that provide long-term results on which approach will be applied in which period and in which conditions are limited. In this case report, we share our 6-year patient follow-up experience and repair of external iliac artery dissection related to renal transplantation with internal iliac artery transposition.

Can neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, prognostic nutrition index, and albumin be used to predict cholecystectomy morbidity in super-elderly patients?
This study aimed to evaluate the usability of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and serum albumin level in predicting cholecystectomy morbidity in elderly patients (85 years and older) who underwent cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. ⋯ This study found that PNI and albumin can be used as predictive factors with high sensitivity and specificity for predicting cholecystectomy morbidity for acute cholecystitis in super-elderly patients. However, NLR and PLR had no significance in predicting cholecystectomy morbidity.

The results of designing a new prototype device and algorithm in closed method intraperitoneal hyperthermia model in rats.
There is currently no standard medical device and method available for hyperthermic intraperitoneal therapy studies in rats. In this study, we present our designed device and algorithm that operates based on our own protocol for hyperthermic intraperitoneal treatment in rats. The aim was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed device, algorithm, and hyperthermia protocol by showing that the device can achieve the desired temperature inside the rat's abdomen, does not cause rat loss due to complications, operates autonomously, and provides warnings to the operator in case of emergencies. ⋯ Our designed device and algorithm, which prioritize animal welfare, operate rapidly, safely, and with high accuracy sensitivity, have been successful in hyperthermic intraperitoneal treatment studies in rats. We believe that they can be used as a stan-dard method and approach in hyperthermic intraperitoneal studies in rats.
