Clinical management and reconstruction of isolated orbital floor fractures: the role of computed tomography during preoperative evaluation.
A common consent regarding repair indications, timing of repair and choice of reconstruction materials for isolated orbital base fractures does not yet exist. ⋯ When not treated in a timely manner and with appropriate materials, orbital base fractures might result in enophthalmia and diplopia. We believe that a good prognosis of orbital base fractures relies on the right decision for surgical indication, early surgical intervention, and repair with appropriate material.

Outcome of surgically treated Lisfranc injury: a review of 34 cases.
We reviewed cases with Lisfranc injuries who presented to our center in order to study the adequacy of the treatment method and their final functional outcome. ⋯ We concluded that all Lisfranc injuries, whether treated with closed or open fixation methods, demonstrated a good long-term functional outcome.

Determination of urinary N-acetyl-ß-D glucosaminidase (NAG) levels in experimental blunt renal trauma.
We evaluated the applicability of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D glucosaminidase (NAG) levels in the diagnosis and follow-up in blunt kidney injury. ⋯ After isolated blunt renal trauma, urinary NAG levels increase in the early stage. However, more detailed clinical studies are needed to develop NAG levels as a criterion in the follow-up of blunt renal trauma.

Effect of pentoxifylline and vinpocetine on the healing of ischemic colon anastomosis: an experimental study.
In the current study, we aimed to investigate the influences of pentoxifylline, which increases the flexibility, deformability and viscosity of the erythrocytes while reducing the aggregation abilities of the platelets, and vinpocetine, which has neuroprotective and antioxidant effects, on healing of colonic anastomoses. ⋯ Similar to pentoxifylline, vinpocetine was also shown to have a beneficial effect over ischemic colon anastomoses.

Review Case Reports[Primary omental torsion as a cause of acute abdomen: case report].
Torsion of the omentum is a rare pathology that was described 100 years ago. The characteristic appearance of omental torsion and a review of the literature are presented with respect to a case of primary omental torsion that was causing acute abdomen. Excision of the ischemic omentum is the proper treatment for omental torsion.
