Comparative StudyComparison of hyperbaric oxygen and ozone treatment for ischemia/re-perfusion injury in an experimental testicular torsion model.
This study aims to compare the effects of medical ozone (MO) therapy and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in an experimental testicular torsion model by measuring the oxidant and antioxidant markers and examining the histopathological tissue damage findings. ⋯ The study may extrapolate that both HBO and MO are antioxidant agents that can be used in testicular torsion. HBO treatment might improve the cellular antioxidant capacity due to increased antioxidant marker levels more than MO therapy. However, further studies are needed with a larger sample size.

Effects of amifostine against blunt chest trauma-induced cardiac injury in rats.
This study aimed to examine whether two different doses of dexamethasone (DXM), which is a corticosteroid, and amifostine (AMI), which reduces cumulative tissue toxicity induced by cisplatin in advanced-stage cancer patients, have ameliorative effects on pathologic changes associated with cardiac contusion (CC) induced in rats. ⋯ According to evaluation based on histological, biochemical, and electrocardiographic examinations, we believe that only 400 mg/kg dose of AMI or DXM can be effective in the treatment of myocardial contusion in rats. Evaluation based on histological findings.

Observational StudyAssociation between pre-hospital National Early Warning Score and in-hospital mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury.
This study aimed to examine the association between the outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and pre-hospital National Early Warning Score (NEWS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), and Revised Trauma Score (RTS). ⋯ Pre-hospital NEWS could contribute to improving prognosis by aiding in the rapid classification of patients with TBI in the field and their transportation to appropriate hospitals.

Fall-related injuries at home: Descriptive analysis from a Middle Eastern level 1 trauma center.
Injuries caused by falls from heights (FFH) and fall of heavy objects (FHO) in residential settings are underestimat-ed in the Middle East. We aimed to describe the fall-related injuries at home requiring admission at a level 1 trauma center. ⋯ This study showed that 11% of trauma hospitalizations were related to fall at home. FFH was common in all age groups; however, FHO was more evident in the pediatric group. Preventive efforts should address the circumstances of trauma in the residential settings to better inform evidence-based prevention strategies.

Is percutaneous fixation of the superior pubic ramus possible in all types of pelvis?
The impact of pelvis type on percutaneous fixation of the superior pubic ramus was investigated in this study. ⋯ The pelvic type is a determinat factor for the fixation of the percutaneous superior pubic ramus. For this reason, pelvic typing using MPR and 3D imaging mode in preoperative CT examination; is effective in surgical planning, implant, and surgical position selection.
