Evaluation of clinical parameters of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage during long-distance interhospital transport.
The objective of the study was to investigate the changes in Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, Fisher's grade, and World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) grade that occur during transport of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) from secondary hospitals to a tertiary care center. ⋯ Significant changes in Fisher's grade, GCS, and WFNS grade occurred during ground transport of patients with aSAH from secondary hospitals to tertiary care centers. These changes in the parameters may affect and change patients future prognoses.

Which is superior in the treatment of AO Type 42A tibial shaft fracture? A comparison of talon intramedullary nailing and conventional locked intramedullary nailing.
This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of conventional locked intramedullary nailing (IMN) and talon IMN in AO Type 42A tibial fractures. ⋯ Although talon IMN reduces radiation exposure, locked conventional IMN has lower nonunion rates and achieves union faster.

Effects of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells and/or sildenafil citrate in experimental colon anastomosis model.
This study aimed to evaluate the healing effects of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSC) and sildenafil citrate alone or in combination of colon anastomosis experimental model. ⋯ Sildenafil citrate and/or AT-MSC in the anastomosed rats promoted the anastomosis healing that was more pro-nounced in groups receiving stem cell injections.

Observational StudyRole of glucose/potassium ratio and shock index in predicting mortality in patients with isolated thoracoabdominal blunt trauma.
The aim of this study, investigate the prognostic value of shock index (SI), which has been accepted for a long time, and glucose-potassium ratio (GPR), which has limited data in patients with trauma and those with isolated blunt thoracoabdominal trauma. ⋯ This study reported the efficacy of SI and GPR in predicting surgical indication and mortality in patients with isolated blunt thoracoabdominal trauma and the superior predictive role of GPR over SI.

Effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on rats with post-operative ileus.
Post-operative ileus (POI) is a type of bowel dismotility causing accumulation of gas and fluid. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been frequently used for medical applications such as pain treatment and nervous stimulation. In this experimental animal model of POI, our aim is to investigate the effects of TENS on POI, and to demonstrate histopathological changes in rat intestine after TENS application. ⋯ This study demonstrated the protective and therapeutic efficacy of TENS in POI in a rat model by radiologically and histopathologically. In clinical practice, TENS may be examined on POI. Further studies are warranted to validate and generalize our findings, and to assess the impact of TENS for post-operative pain also.
