Evaluation of complications after laparoscopic and open appendectomy by the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program surgical risk calculator.
This study aims to evaluate the predictive level of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) risk calculator for post-appendectomy complications. ⋯ Although it is rare to see complications after simple appendectomy, it is known that complication rates increase sig-nificantly in the elderly, the obese, and those with comorbidities. Tools such as SRC will be beneficial for patients with these risk factors.

Role of thiol-disulfide hemostasis in early diagnosis of acute mesentery ischemia: An experimental study.
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a rarely observed acute abdominal disease that may be mortal and is difficult to diagnose early. The aim of our study is to assess the role of Thiol-Disulphide Haemostasis (TDH), a new method for AMI which still has no specific biochemical markers for early diagnosis, and to assess it together with Ischemia-Modified Albumin (IMA) which has previously proven reliability for AMI. ⋯ TDH changes in the early period of AMI. The TDH parameters can be used with IMA as diagnostic parameters for patients with suspected AMI in the early period.

Case ReportsTrichophagia as a cause of acute appendicitis in a patient with bipolar disorder.
Acute appendicitis is one of the most common abdominal surgical emergencies worldwide. Clinical diagnosis is possible in most of the cases although imaging modalities may become necessary if the diagnosis is uncertain. ⋯ The pathophysiology usually includes luminal obstruction by an appendicolith or lymphoid hyperplasia and rarely parasitic infections. In this report, we present an extremely rare case of a patient with diagnosis of bipolar disorder and a history of trichophagia resulting in trichobezoar formation within the appendiceal lümen leading to acute appendicitis.

The effects of carbogen and hyperbaric oxygen treatment on fracture healing in rats.
Bone fractures and fracture healing are one of the most common problems among orthopedic surgeons. In this study, we investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and carbogen (C) treatment on fracture healing in the experimental animal model. ⋯ There are many studies in the literature that examine the systemic and local effects of HBO and C treatments and show that they increase tissue oxygenation. Our study showed that HBO and C groups had no beneficial or harmful effects on fracture healing compared to the control group.
