The comparison of tracheostomy and translaryngeal intubation regarding free radical formation and pulmonary effects.
Our aim in this study was to compare the blood gas changes, the malondialdehyde (MDA) and endogenous antioxidant glutathione (GSH) levels in blood and lung tissues after ischemia/reperfusion, the histopathological damage in lung tissue in rats provided respiratory support with mechanical ventilation after translaryngeal intubation and tracheostomy. ⋯ This is the first study to show tracheostomy to be more advantageous than translaryngeal intubation in terms of blood gases, ischemia/reperfusion damage, and structural changes in the lung tissue.

Review Case ReportsEmbolization for gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with pancreatitis: Report of two cases and literature review.
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is rare but potentially fatal complication of pancreatitis. Early diagnosis and timely radiologic intervention are crucial for survival as when untreated the mortality of these patients is high. ⋯ The advances in endovascular devices and embolization materials and increased number of experienced interventional radiologists have increased the importance of angiographic embolization procedures as a safe minimally invasive therapeutic method of achieving successful hemostasis associated with the low incidence of complications. Due to its advantages over surgery, it should be considered treatment of choice in patients with upper GI bleeding refractory to endoscopy.

Review Case ReportsDissociation of bipolar components following bipolar hemiarthroplasty: A report of two different cases and review of the literature.
In elder patients, the treatment for femoral neck fracture generally involves bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty. Hip dislocation is one of the most common complications of bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty. In many studies, hemiarthroplasty dislocation frequency ranged from 1.2% to 8.4%. ⋯ In this study, two different cases are reported dissociation between components after bipolar hemiarthroplasty. In conclusion, dissociation between components is a rare complication following bipolar hemiarthroplasty; however, it results in revision surgery in almost all cases. As spontaneous or traumatic dissociation can occur during maneuvers of closed reduction after hip dislocation, one should be careful during closed reduction of hip dislocation.

Percutaneous drainage as an rapid procedure for deep pelvic abscess in the emergency department.
Drainage of pelvic abscesses is interventional procedures that should be well planned due to organ contiguity. There are not enough publications in the literature evaluating the treatment methods of pelvic abscess drainage and comparing success rates. ⋯ In conclusion, endocavitary and percutaneous drainage treatments of pelvic abscesses are safe and effective treatment methods. The success of needle aspiration treatment is lower than catheter treatment and it should be considered that the abscess collection may recur.

Reverse sural flap: Our clinical experience with car tire injuries in the anterolateral aspect of the foot.
Defects due to car wheel injury at the anterolateral aspect of the foot are challenging due to the characteristics of the region and the trauma. The aim of this study was to present the results of the patients whose skin defects on the dorsolateral aspect of the foot due to tire injuries were treated with reverse sural artery fasciocutaneous flaps. ⋯ In case of tire injuries at the anterolateral aspect of the foot, low complication and high success rates can be achieved with a case-based approach with reverse sural artery fasciocutaneous flap coverage.
