Can chlorogenic acid reduce oxidative stress and in an experimental spinal cord injury?
We aimed to investigate antioxidant and neuroprotective properties of chlorogenic acid in spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ In this study, SCI was primarily examined through thiol-SS balance, and it was demonstrated by experimental models that chlorogenic acid has antioxidant and neuroprotective effects in SCI.

Comparison of complicated appendicitis rates between refugees and local patients.
This study aims to determine whether refugee patients are more likely to present with complicated appendicitis. ⋯ The findings of this study demonstrated that refugee patients have a higher complicated appendicitis rate and late admission rate, even though refugee patients have equal access to healthcare in our country. Future research is needed to identify factors affecting outcomes of refugee patients.

Evaluation of post-operative development of mediastinitis in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: A single-center experience.
In this study, we aimed to evaluate mediastinitis cases developed after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery performed by median sternotomy to determine the causative microorganisms, risk factors, and clinical features. ⋯ Attention should be paid to surgical site infection in patients undergoing CVS. Following discharge, follow-up is important and empirical treatment should be determined by considering the presence of MRCNS as the leading infectious agent in our hospital when infection occurs.

Case ReportsLaparoscopic repair of the left paraduodenal hernia: A rare case of an internal hernia.
Paraduodenal hernia (PDH) is a rare congenital anomaly, the most common cause of internal hernia. The left-sided PDHs (LPDHs) are more common than the right-sided and are common in male patients at the 4th and 6th years of life. LPDH is been often clinically asymptomatic and often detected by chance in surgical patients. ⋯ PDH can cause ischemia with the high mortality rates due to intestinal obstruction. Therefore, surgical repair should be done as soon as possible after diagnosis. Here, we present a case of LPDH that was laparoscopically diagnosed and repaired early.

Investigation of acute effects of topical Alpinia officinarum (galangal) treatment in experimental contact type burns and comparison with topical silver sulfadiazine treatment.
It was aimed to determine whether Alpinia officinarum (AO) (galangal), which has been regarded to be effective on wound healing, is healing on experimental contact type burns and compare its effects with silver sulfadiazine (SSD). ⋯ Administrating AO containing gel 4 times a day within the first 24 h is effective in the experimental contact type second degree burn model. It is significantly superior to SSD treatment, especially in the first 8 h of administration.
