Effects of short-term hyperoxic ventilation on lung, kidney, heart, and liver in a rat model: A biochemical evaluation.
Despite studies on the adverse effects of hyperoxia, its use is still recommended by the World Health Organization. The aim of this study was to test the possible harmful effects of hyperoxia on the lung, kidney, heart, and liver in a rat mechanical ventilation model. ⋯ Mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia seems to have almost similar effects compared to ventilation with normoxia. However, the long term effect of hyperoxia should be evaluated.

Randomized Controlled TrialPrediction of clinical outcomes of single- and double- bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques using magnetic resonance imaging.
The objective of the study is to compare the clinical results of the single-bundle (SB) and double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairing techniques using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ⋯ The post-operative ACL angle can predict the degree of clinical recovery in patients undergoing SB ACL reconstruction.

Comparative analysis of epidemiological and clinical characteristics of appendicitis among children and adults.
This study aimed to investigate whether there are some differences between pediatric and adult patients with appendicitis. ⋯ The present study found some important differences between childhood and adulthood appendicitis. If these differences are considered when evaluating the patients, more desired outcomes can be achieved for both clinicians and patients.

Surgical treatment of peripheral nerve injuries: Better outcomes with intraoperative NAP recordings.
Peripheral nerve injuries are usually not lethal but may cause serious neurological deficits if not treated properly. The aim of this study is to present our patients who underwent surgical treatment for peripheral nerve trauma in the past 10 years and to discuss their results in light of the literature. ⋯ Men are more frequently exposed to peripheral nerve trauma than women. Severe partial nerve lesions mostly benefit from surgical treatment, and neurolysis has become the most preferred method of surgical treatment. Intraoperative NAP recordings provide better clinical outcomes. Neurological improvement may not always be in correlation with electrophysiological improvement.

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of clavicular midshaft fractures under insertion guide.
The less invasive stabilization systems for the distal femur and proximal lateral tibia have been developed to simplify the surgical technique of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). MIPO, however, has simply been introduced into clavicular midshaft fixation without the aid of insertion guide though the procedure for midshaft clavicular fractures was found to produce satisfactory clinical and radiologic outcomes without serious complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of MIPO of clavicular midshaft fractures using an insertion guide. ⋯ MIPO using insertion guide is believed to be an acceptable and effective choice in the operative treatment of clavicular midshaft fractures.
