The protective effect of roflumilast and ibuprofen on testicular ischemia reperfusion injury: An experimental study.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the efficiency of roflumilast and ibuprofen in an experimental rat testicular ischemia reperfusion injury model in the light of histological and biochemical data. ⋯ Our results indicate that administrating ibuprofen and roflumilast reduced testicular ischemia reperfusion injury in rat testis torsion model. In comparison, roflumilast is found to be more beneficial.

Neuroprotective effects of adrenomedullin in experimental traumatic brain injury model in rats.
Traumatic brain injuries cause damages in the brain in several ways, which include cell death because of edema, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, shear stress, and ischemia. In this study, we investigated the effects of adrenomedullin (AM) on oxidative stress and inflammation after head traumas in a rat model. ⋯ These results indicate that AM has neuroprotective effects on traumatic brain injury in a rat model.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffectiveness of pericapsular nerve group block with ultrasonography in patients diagnosed with hip fracture in the emergency department.
Hip fractures (HF) are among the most common fractures present in the emergency department and are very painful. Pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) is a new regional anesthesia technique developed for analgesia in total hip arthroplas-ties. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of PENG block used to reduce pain in patients with HF in the emergency department. ⋯ PENG block can reduce pain and the need for systemic analgesics as a practical option in patients with HF.

Review Case ReportsFloating phalanx; simultaneous double dislocation of the interphalangeal joint in a finger: A case report and literature review.
Isolated proximal and distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) dislocations are widely seen as a result of sporting injuries and major trauma. The combination of dorsal dislocation of the DIPJ in the same finger concomitant to traumatic dorsal dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) is a rarely seen injury. The case is, here, presented of a 65-year-old female patient with proximal and DIPJ dislocation of the right-hand ring finger accompanied by volar and dorsal plate injuries in the proximal and distal joints. ⋯ The treatment was applied to the patient of closed reduction under peripheral block and the application of an aluminium finger splint in semiflexion. In a 24-month follow-up period, the 4th finger of the patient was observed to be stable and has pain-free range of movement. This case is an uncommon case of volar and dorsal plate avulsion fractures with PIPJ and DIPJ dorsal dislocation treated successfully with closed reduction and conservative treat-ment with excellent functional results.

A 10-year retrospective analysis of intimate partner violence patients in the emergency department.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important human rights problem faced by one in three women worldwide. The aim of this study is to evaluate the demographic, trauma, and radiological characteristics of patients admitted to a tertiary emer-gency department due to IPV. ⋯ Female patients are more frequently exposed to IPV. Specific injury characteristics can be detected in patients diagnosed with IPV and old fractures detected in these patients should alert the clinician about IPV.
