Adnexal torsion is a common gynaecological emergency, and considered to be a problem mostly in reproductive-age women. To evaluatethe effect of metformin and detorsion treatment on reducing ovarian reserve in an ovarian torsion model. ⋯ Metformin+detorsion treatment may be effective in protecting the ovarian reserve after ovarian torsion.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Can the efficacy of subacromial corticosteroid injection be improved using a single- session mobilization treatment in subacromial impingement syndrome? A randomized single-blind controlled trial.
The objective in this study is to assess the short-term effects of a single-session mobilization in addition to subacromial corticosteroid (SACS) injection in impingement syndrome. ⋯ Addition of single-session mobilization might provide rapid improvement in flexion and abduction as well as early pain relief following SACS injections.

The effects of pregabalin and adductor canal block on postoperative pain in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
To determine the effectiveness of pregabalin and adductor canal block on opioid consumption, postoperative pain, and fast-tracking. ⋯ Preoperative pregabalin (150 mg) reduced postoperative opioid consumption as much as adductor canal block in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The first analgesic requirement was earlier in group C than in groups P and A. In addition, pregabalin can prolong the duration of spinal sensory block and shorten the time required to achieve high fast-tracking scores. We recommend the use of both methods as a part of multimodal analgesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Radiographic comparison of cervical spine motion using LMA Fastrach, LMA CTrach, and the Macintosh laryngoscope
The optimal technique for airway management in patients with cervical pathology remains unclear. Intubating laryngeal mask airway devices such as LMA CTrach and LMA Fastrach have not been compared for cervical spine (C-spine) movements in the context of cervical pathology. The present study aimed to determine upper C-spine movements by radiography during intubation with different devices as well as comparing the duration and success of intubation in cervical surgery. ⋯ The LMA CTrach laryngoscopy involves less upper C-spine movement than the LMA Fastrach and does not increase the duration of the intubation period.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of pregabalin on tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury: a prospective randomized study
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of pregabalin on ischemia-reperfusion injuries. ⋯ Pregabalin has no marked antioxidant activity, but it contributes to the antioxidant defense system of an organism.
