The role of geraniol on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury model in rats.
Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a significant clinical condition that can arise during liver resections, trauma, and shock. Geraniol, an isoterpene molecule commonly found in nature, possesses antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties. This study investigates the impact of geraniol on hepatic damage by inducing experimental liver I/R injury in rats. ⋯ The study demonstrates that geraniol reduced hepatic damage both biochemically and histopathologically and increased antioxidant defense enzymes. These findings suggest that geraniol could be used to prevent hepatic I/R injury, provided it is corroborated by large-scale and comprehensive studies.

Comparative StudyComparison of the Kron technique and digital manometry for measuring intra-abdominal pressure in emergency department patients diagnosed with ileus.
Numerous measurement techniques for intra-abdominal pressure have been explored, with the Kron Technique established as the gold standard. Despite its prominence, the search for alternative methods persists due to its lengthy application time, the requirement for additional equipment, and overall impracticality. This study investigated a quicker, more accessible method for effective intra-abdominal pressure measurement in the emergency department. It aimed to compare intra-abdominal pressure measurements in patients diagnosed with ileus using a digital manometer and the Kron Technique. ⋯ We believe that the intra-abdominal pressure measurement technique using a digital manometer is a method that can be effectively employed by healthcare professionals in emergency departments. This technique offers ease of use, requires minimal equipment, provides rapid results, and delivers reliable measurement values compared to the Kron Technique.

In cases of humeral diaphyseal fractures, is lateral approach surgery without radial nerve exploration as effective and safe as conventional surgery?
This study compares the efficacy and safety of lateral approach surgery with and without radial nerve dissection in treating humeral diaphyseal fractures. It assesses clinical, radiological, and complication outcomes, providing a description of the surgical methods and perioperative benefits. ⋯ Lateral approach surgery without radial nerve dissection for humeral diaphyseal fractures offers comparable effectiveness and safety to conventional surgery, with potential perioperative advantages such as reduced operation time and blood loss.

Assessment of hearing sequelae in individuals tested post-trauma.
Over 5% of the global population (430 million people) require rehabilitation for hearing loss. Individuals with hearing impairments face significant challenges in business, daily life, and social participation. Hearing loss (HL) and other permanent physical and sensory disabilities escalate dramatically in cases with brain damage and temporal bone trauma associated with head injuries. This study aims to identify the significant risk factors for hearing loss following head trauma, utilizing current data, and discuss the findings in the context of the literature. This could contribute to the development of standard approaches for assessing such cases. ⋯ Post-traumatic examinations should employ a multidisciplinary approach, adhering to standard medical improvement and assessment timelines. It is essential to verify whether each patient's medical improvement process has reached its maximum potential. We believe that adhering to these recommendations and utilizing standardized classifications for hearing loss will prevent the loss of rights.
