Investigation of acute effects of topical Alpinia officinarum (galangal) treatment in experimental contact type burns and comparison with topical silver sulfadiazine treatment.
It was aimed to determine whether Alpinia officinarum (AO) (galangal), which has been regarded to be effective on wound healing, is healing on experimental contact type burns and compare its effects with silver sulfadiazine (SSD). ⋯ Administrating AO containing gel 4 times a day within the first 24 h is effective in the experimental contact type second degree burn model. It is significantly superior to SSD treatment, especially in the first 8 h of administration.

Case ReportsNon-traumatic spontaneous ruptured hepatocellular adenoma after selective transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization for reduction of tumor mass: A case report.
It is important to detect hepatic adenomas, which are generally well-confined lesions, as urgent treatment is required due to the risk of bleeding and conversion to malignancy. Dimensions can vary between 1 and 15 cm, and the risk of hemorrhage is higher in large and multiple-focus adenomas. The case is here presented of a patient with spontaneous ruptured liver adenoma after selective transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization for reduction of tumor mass, with discussion of the clinical, computed tomography, angiographic findings, and treatment strategies.

Case ReportsLaparoscopic repair of the left paraduodenal hernia: A rare case of an internal hernia.
Paraduodenal hernia (PDH) is a rare congenital anomaly, the most common cause of internal hernia. The left-sided PDHs (LPDHs) are more common than the right-sided and are common in male patients at the 4th and 6th years of life. LPDH is been often clinically asymptomatic and often detected by chance in surgical patients. ⋯ PDH can cause ischemia with the high mortality rates due to intestinal obstruction. Therefore, surgical repair should be done as soon as possible after diagnosis. Here, we present a case of LPDH that was laparoscopically diagnosed and repaired early.

Evaluation of renal function in rats with moderate and mild brain trauma.
We aimed to diagnose possible acute kidney injury (AKI) with new early biochemical markers in patients who were admitted to the emergency department frequently with mild and moderate brain trauma, and to prevent possible complications, shorten the duration of treatment and hospital stay. With this purpose, we decided to reach our scientific target using the experimental rat model. ⋯ The presence of AKI in patients with mild-to-moderate brain trauma increases the risk of mortality. Early diagnosis of AKI reduces the hospitalization period and requiring of dialysis. Diagnosis of AKI within 24 h with early biomarkers and starting therapy is crucial issues.

The role of trauma scoring systems and serum lactate level in predicting prognosis in thoracic trauma.
Chest trauma constitutes 10% of admissions due to trauma and causes 25-50% of trauma-related deaths. It is important to evaluate the level of thoracic trauma in patients accurately and early, start the correct treatment, predict the need for intensive care and mortality, and prevent complications that may develop. In this study, the predictive efficiency of the serum lactate level, shock index, and scoring systems regarding the prognosis in patients with major thoracic trauma were compared. ⋯ In patients with thoracic trauma, the NISS may be a useful factor that can be used in emergency rooms when a quick decision is required. However, increases in blood lactate levels during patient follow-up may also be a blood parameter that the clinician should pay attention to. In addition, further studies should be conducted on scoring in patients with thoracic trauma.
