The effects of analgesic treatment and chest physiotherapy on the complications of the patients with rib fractures that arise from blunt chest trauma.
This prospective study aims to investigate the effect of chest physiotherapy and analgesic therapy on the possible complications of isolated rib fractures attributable to blunt thoracic trauma, such as hemothorax and pneumothorax. ⋯ As a result of this study, chest physiotherapy maneuvers have increased the incidence of late hemothorax in patients with three or more isolated rib fractures. Also, minimal hemothoraces (<300 ml) may spontaneously regress, and no additional surgical treatment are required if the proper follow-up procedures are performed. It is advisable to hospitalize the blunt thoracic trauma patients who have three or more rib fractures and who are planned to undergo chest physiotherapy and or are prone to develop additional complications because of possible risks.

Perioperative outcomes following a hip fracture surgery in elderly patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heart failure with a mid-range ejection fraction.
To examine the influence of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and HF with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) on perioperative cardiac and noncardiac outcomes following hip fracture surgery. ⋯ Our findings suggest that the presence of HFPEF and HFmrEF may predict perioperative adverse events and mortality in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.

Effects of garlic oil (allium sativum) on acetic acid-induced colitis in rats: Garlic oil and experimental colitis.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an important health problem. The most important hypotheses for the pathogenesis of this disease are the deterioration of immune responses and loss of tolerance against bacteria in the enteric flora. Although IBD has been widely investigated, its treatment remains difficult. This study aims to investigate the effects of garlic oil (GO) on an experimental colitis model. ⋯ GO can reduce colonic damage and inflammation in the acetic acid-induced colitis model, with effects on both local and systemic treatments, but with a more pronounced effect in local treatment.

Is the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio a predictive value for postoperative mortality in orthogeriatric patients who underwent proximal femoral nail surgery for pertrochanteric fractures?
Hip fractures in the orthogeriatric population are a health problem that causes mortality and morbidity, with an increasing frequency. The present study aims to investigate whether the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a predictive value for the postoperative mortality risk in patients who underwent only proximal femoral nail (PFN) surgery due to pertrochanteric fractures (PTF). To our knowledge, there is not any study conducted with a similar population in the litertaure. ⋯ We believe that the preoperative NLR is a predictive variable for orthopedic surgeons in assessing the postoperative mortality risk in orthogeriatric patients who presented to the emergency room due to PTF and were planned to undergo PFN surgery.

Observational StudyBlood-aqueous barrier deterioration following retained metallic corneal foreign body: A laser flare photometric study.
This study aims to use laser flare photometry to evaluate flare changes in patients following corneal damage from a metallic foreign body (FB). ⋯ Flare is increased by corneal foreign body exposure. However, eyes that experience multiple previous corneal foreign body exposures may show relatively low flare, probably due to corneal desensitization.
