A comparison of the morbidity and mortality of tandir burns and non-tandir burns: experience in two centers.
We examine herein the demographic characteristics, implemented treatment methods, infection rates, and morbidities of patients with tandir burns from two burn centers. ⋯ In our study, it was determined that tandir burns were deeper than other burns, and that hospitalization durations were longer than for other burn causes. Surgical intervention was also more prevalent among patients with tandir burn than among those with other burn causes.

[Effects of beta-glucan on hepatic damage caused by obstructive jaundice].
Beta-glucans are known as macrophage stimulators and antioxidants. This study aimed to investigate the effects of beta-glucans on oxidative damage to the liver during obstructive jaundice. ⋯ These results show that beta-glucan induced the phagocytic and anti-oxidative effects and also reduced the liver damage and oxidative stress in obstructive jaundice. Advanced studies are required for the clinical use of beta-glucan in obstructive jaundice.

[Comparison of the hemostatic efficiency of Ankaferd Blood Stopper and fibrin glue on a liver laceration model in rats].
Ankaferd Blood Stopper® (ABS) is an organic topical hemostatic agent that has become available in recent years. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of ABS in a liver laceration model in rats with that of fibrin glue (FG), which is currently being used widely in clinics. ⋯ The topical hemostatic effectiveness of ABS was shown to be comparable to FG in a liver laceration model in rats. There was no significant difference between these materials regarding adhesion formation in intraabdominal use or histopathological effects.
