Case ReportsAcute abdomen caused by greater omentum torsion: A case report and review of the literature.
Torsion of the greater omentum is a rare cause of acute abdomen. Based on etiopathogenesis, it can be classified as primary or secondary. ⋯ Laparoscopic resection of the affected omentum is the treatment of choice. Presently reported was a case of primary omental torsion, in addition to a comprehensive literature review.

[Mid-term follow-up evaluation of plate osteosynthesis and hemiarthroplasty results in multipart fractures of the proximal humerus].
The present objective was to retrospectively evaluate factors affecting functional outcome of multipart proximal humeral fracture treated with fixation or hemiarthroplasty. ⋯ Though improved functional results may be obtained using plate fixation in the surgical treatment of multipart proximal humeral fractures, the high rates of rotator cuff failure associated with both surgical methods should be considered.

[Comparison of 90° and 180° plate constructions for comminuted distal humerus fractures in adults, and effects on clinical results].
The present objective was to compare 90° and 180° double-plate constructions for complex distal humerus fractures, as well as to evaluate superiority of construction type. ⋯ Surgeons should determine the construction type appropriate to individual cases of adult distal humerus type C fractures using preoperative x-rays and intraoperative means. Choice of construction type has particular importance in cases of lateral columnar fracture complexity. If no comminution is present in the lateral column, 90º double-plating leads to satisfactory outcome, while 180º plating leads to satisfactory outcome when comminution is present in the lateral column.

Endogenous erythropoietin level and effects of exogenous erythropoietin in a rat model of blunt chest trauma-induced pulmonary contusion.
The present objective was to investigate endogen erythropoietin (EPO) level and relationship to oxidative stress within the first 24 hours of blunt chest trauma-induced pulmo-nary contusion (PCn) in a rat model. ⋯ In the present PCn rat model, EPO concentrations, as well as SOD and CAT levels, were high in lung tissue, when measured at 24 hours after PCn. When administered early after chest trauma, EPO significantly attenuated oxidative damage and tissue damage in the early phase, as assessed by biochemical markers and histologic scoring.

[Minimally invasive theurapeutic approaches in pediatric nonvascular fourth-grade renal trauma].
Conservative management procedures are implemented in cases of low-grade pediatric blunt renal trauma, but procedures for grade 4 injuries are not clearly defined. The present objective was to discuss treatment procedures in patients who presented with or developed urinoma during follow-up. ⋯ Pediatric grade 4 renal trauma can be successfully treated with minimally invasive procedures. Initial implementation of these procedures increases the chance of kidney salvage, even when surgical intervention is eventually performed.
