Case ReportsTorsion of wandering spleen nine years after gastric volvulus: Effect of multiparity?
Wandering spleen is a rare condition and has life-threatening complications, such as torsion or infarction. It may be asymptomatic or may present with chronic abdominal pain or intraabdominal mass. Since clinical diagnosis is usually difficult, radiological examinations play a very important role in diagnosis. ⋯ Gastric volvulus and wandering spleen have similar etiologies. In the literature, the coexistence of these two diseases in adulthood is rarely reported. However, to our knowledge, this case is the first report to describe the emergence of these two pathologies at different times in adulthood.

Case ReportsRhinoceros-related delayed traumatic diaphragmatic rupture.
Animal-related injuries should be analyzed based on the behavior and anatomy of the attacking animal. Rhinoceros-related injuries in humans are extremely rare. Hereby, we report a life-threatening traumatic diaphragmatic hernia in a woman who presented three years after a rhinoceros gored her chest. ⋯ Rhinoceros-related injuries in humans are extremely rare. Life-threatening traumatic diaphragmatic herniation may be delayed for few years. High index of suspicion is needed for its diagnosis.

The protective effects of lycopene on ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat hind limb muscle model.
Acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of skeletal muscle, an important mortality and morbidity cause, is associated with oxidative stress. Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment with potent antioxidant activity and is found in vegetables and fruits. This study aims to investigate the protective effects of lycopene against I/R injury in rat hind limb muscle model. ⋯ The findings obtained in this study show lycopene's cytoprotective activity against I/R injury in rat skeletal muscle model.

The healing effects of Hyperium perforatum (St. John's Wort) on experimental alkaline corrosive eosephageal and stomach burns.
The most frequent etiologic cause is alkaline substances. We investigated the protective effects of the plant St. John 's Wort (Hypericum perforatum). ⋯ SJW substrate is effective in protecting the esophagus and stomach in mild to moderate alcali corrosive burns in the subacute period. We should keep in mind the protective effects of STW substrate in alkaline corrosive burns of the gastrointestinal system.

Effects of different anesthesia techniques on intraoperative blood loss in acetabular fractures undergoing the Modified Stoppa approach.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of the anesthesia technique on the intraoperative blood loss in acetabular fracture patients undergoing the Modified Stoppa approach. ⋯ Less intraoperative bleeding was seen in those patients undergoing CEGA when compared to those undergoing GA. This is a significant advantage for acetabular surgery, which has a long learning curve and a high risk of bleeding.
