Effects of subepineural hyaluronic acid injection on nerve recovery in a rat sciatic nerve defect model.
Maintenance of epineural integrity is very important for nerve healing. Reports on the use of substances consid-ered to have positive effects on nerve healing in experimental nerve defect models are increasing. The present study assessed the effects of sub-epineural hyaluronic acid injection in a rat sciatic nerve defect model that was created while maintaining epineural integrity. ⋯ Although the functional analysis did not reveal any significant results, the histological findings suggest that hyaluronic acid increases the regeneration capacity of axons through its anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects.

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.

ReviewCorrelation of important prognostic factors and CT scores in invasive and non-invasive ventilation of COVID-19 patients.
Intensive care workers received the largest share of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused nightmares to the whole world. In COVID-19 pneumonia cases which had high mortality rates, many prognostic factors and laboratory examinations were tried to evaluate the clinical severity quickly and accurately.This study was planned to investigate a correlation between the initially ventilation strategy and major prognostic parameters and CT scores in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ Patients who started treatment with NIMV had relatively low poor prognostic factors, their mortality was lower. However, the total CT score at diagnosis was expected to be higher in those who were performed IMV, no significant difference was found in our study. We concluded that the severity classification of the patients cannot be made according to CT scores. CT results should be evaluated as a whole according to the patient's clinic, predisposing factors, and response to treatment.

ReviewThe effect of a new topographic classification on determining the prognosis of nasal fracture and treatment modality.
Classifications of nasal fracture are based on clinical findings or radiological findings. The classification systems of nasal fracture usually determine the type of nasal fracture. It is important that a classification gives information about treatment modality and prognosis rather than determining the type of fracture. The objective of this study was to show the effect of the new topographic classification on determining the parameters of prognosis and deciding on treatment modality of the nasal fracture. ⋯ We believe that the new topographic classification evaluates the parameters of clinical prognosis such as accompanying fracture, site of fracture and pattern of fracture, and also requirement of closed or open reduction better than other classifications.

Randomized Controlled TrialIs it necessary to use specimen retrieval bag for reducing surgical site infection in laparoscopic appendectomy?A randomized controlled trial.
The aim of the study was to investigate the comparison the effects of the extraction of specimen by using a specimen retrieval bag (SRB) or direct extraction through trochar in terms of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. ⋯ The results of the present study revealed that the use of SRB does not prevent microbial seeding in patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy; therefore, it was concluded that using SRB is not associated with SSI at laparoscopic appendectomy.
