Demographic and etiologic characteristics of children with traumatic serious hyphema.
We aimed to evaluate the etiologic factors, complications, follow-up, and treatment outcomes in serious hyphema following blunt ocular trauma in childhood. ⋯ In grade 3 and 4 hyphema due to blunt trauma, visual prognosis worsened in the presence of additional ocular pathologies. Considering the bad visual prognosis of severe hyphema patients, prompt treatment and close follow-up may prevent complications resulting in poor VA.

Case ReportsTraumatic renal artery occlusion in the pediatric age group: a case and review of the literature.
Blunt trauma represents a major cause of death in children. The incidence of renal arterial injuries in these cases is less than 1%. ⋯ However, there is lack of information on the exact incidence and results of the management of these rare cases in the pediatric age group. We report herein a case and we review the available literature of this severe injury in the pediatric age group.

Genotoxicity of fixation devices analyzed by the frequencies of sister chromatid exchange.
Metal alloys utilized in the management of jaw fractures may exert genotoxic effects. Our purpose was to compare the genotoxicity of intermaxillary fixation devices containing nickel and chromium to that of titanium miniplates utilized in treatment of jaw fractures through the analysis of sister chromatid exchange. ⋯ Although titanium miniplate osteosynthesis is an invasive technique in comparison with the nickel-chromium-containing intermaxillary fixation devices, titanium seems to exert less genotoxic effect than the nickel-chromium alloy. However, this finding should be supported in clinical studies with a larger sampling size.

A retrospective review was carried out to determine the incidence of various causes and outcome of management in patients with acute scrotum. ⋯ In this series, O /EO was found to rank first as the cause of acute scrotum. Immediate surgical treatment in acute scrotum patients, except those with O /EO, is necessary. Associated urological anomalies should be investigated in patients with O /EO.
