[An easy, safe and affective method for the treatment of intussusception: ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction].
Intussusception is one of the important causes of intestinal obstruction in children. Hydrostatic reduction under ultrasound guidance is a popular treatment method for intussusception. In the present study, we aimed to explain the demographic characteristics of and treatment approaches in patients diagnosed with intussusception by ultrasound. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction, with its high success rates and lack of radiation risk, should be the first choice therapeutic approach for children diagnosed with intussusception.

[Investigation of the relationship between severity of injury, return to work, impairment, and activity participation in hand and forearm injuries].
Forearm and hand injuries are the main cause of work-related disability. This study was planned to investigate the relationship between severity of injury, time of return to work, impairment, and activity participation of patients with hand and forearm injuries. ⋯ Higher MHISS scores were associated with delays in returning to work and lower activity participation. The DASH-T score was the most strongly associated with time of return to work. Furthermore, there is a positive relation between time of return to work and activity participation of patients.

[Blunt renal trauma in children: a retrospective analysis of 41 cases].
The majority of renal injury secondary to blunt abdominal trauma can be successfully treated conservatively. In the present study, the clinical features and outcomes of children who presented with renal injury secondary to blunt abdominal trauma were evaluated. ⋯ The conservative treatment of pediatric renal parenchymal injuries is safe and effective in children. Although the vast majority of renal injuries do not require surgical intervention, life-threatening renal bleeding, regardless of the grade of injury, should be treated surgically.

The efficacy of a hemostatic agent in anticoagulant drug-induced rat bleeding model.
Bleeding is a major problem in warfarin pretreated patients who need emergency surgical procedures. APH is a hemostatic agent with ultra-hydrophilic and particulate properties. This study aimed to evaluate the in vivo hemostatic effect of APH in rats pretreated with warfarin. ⋯ APH has an effective hemostatic property in rats pretreated or non-pretreated with anticoagulants. Hemostatic agents can be useful for incidences of external bleedings, which are increasing because of anticoagulation.
