How safe is the semi-sterile technique in the percutaneous pinning of supracondylar humerus fractures?
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate safety and efficiency of the semi-sterile technique used in recent years in treatment of pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures (SHF). ⋯ Though semi-sterile technique is an effective treatment in closed percutaneous pinning of SHF, increased pin tract infection risk is a matter of concern.

[Determination of subacute and chronic period sleep quality in burn patients].
The aim of this study was to determine the sleep quality of patients treated at burn center. ⋯ The sleep quality of patients in the study was found to be of poor degree. It is known that after burn injury, sufficient sleep enhances the function of natural defense cells, protein synthesis, and release of growth hormones, thereby healing the burn injuries. Information about patient sleep quality and sleep problems can lead to the development of nursing care for patients suffering from burns.

Protective effect of betaine against burn-induced pulmonary injury in rats.
This study was designed to determine possible protective effect of betaine treatment against oxidative injury in pulmonary tissue induced with thermal trauma. ⋯ Treatment of rats with betaine significantly restored GSH level and Na+/K+-ATPase activity, and decreased MDA level and MPO activity. According to the findings of the present study, betaine significantly diminishes burn-induced damage in tissue.

Management of perforation after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related perforation is an infrequent complication. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The present study is an evaluation of experience with management and outcomes of ERCP-related perforations and a review of relevant literature. ⋯ ERCP-related perforation is uncommon complication, but an extremely serious condition. Early diagnosis and prompt management are most important to reduce associated significant morbidity and mortality rates. The most appropriate treatment course should be determined on case-by-case basis.
