The effects of Capparis ovata seed oil on the healing of traumatic skin wounds.
Capparis ovata contains alkaloids, lipids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and also is rich in antioxidants. Conventionally, in Turkey, the flower buds, root, bark, and fruits of C. ovata are used for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatism, tonic, and diuretic effects. The aim of this study was to examine the effect on wound healing of C. ovata seed oil (COSO), which is known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. ⋯ From the results of this study, it was concluded that COSO significantly enhances the healing of full-thickness skin wounds and this effect is primarily related to its anti-inflammatory effect.

Case ReportsTreatment of ankle varus deformity due to physeal bar formation: A case report.
Treatment of ankle deformities caused by the physeal bar after a fracture sequel is complicated. Each patient should be treated individually depending on of the severity of the deformity and bar location. ⋯ The patient is at 4 year follow-up without any complication. We think that bar resection technique provides favorable results even in severe ankle deformity.

Risk factors related reduction loss in nonoperatively treated Type II supracondylar humerus fractures.
Controversies continue about the optimal treatment method for extension Type II supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs). Although most patients are successfully treated with closed reduction and plaster casting, in some patients, the reduction initially obtained is lost during the time in the plaster cast. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors causing reduction loss. ⋯ According to our study group, 79% of extension Type II fractures can be successfully treated with closed reduction and plaster casting. Sagittal plane obliquity and metaphyseal fragmentation are risk factors for reduction loss independent of Gartland subtype.

Comparison of sequential organ failure assessment score and cardiac surgery score systems for mortality prediction after emergency acute aortic dissection surgery.
Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is one of the most mortal cardiovascular diseases and requires urgent diagnosis and surgery. The patient's clinical findings, complications, and patient's history are closely related to mortality rates. Cardiac surgery score (CASUS) is a scoring system which is calculated by considering the special pathophysiological conditions of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and predicts post-operative results with high accuracy. ⋯ According to our results increase in CASUS mean was the main predictor of 1 month mortality. When CASUS mean exceeds 8.3 the patient should be followed up more carefully for major adverse events including death.

BIG score is a strong predictor of mortality and morbidity for high-energy traumas in pediatric intensive care unit.
Severe traumatic injuries not only constitute an important population of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) but they also play a major role in mortality and morbidity. Mortality risk assessment of traumatic injuries in the PICU is a delicate issue as it influences the treatment decisions. BIG score (Base Deficit +[2.5 × INR] + [15-GCS]) and the Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS) are utilized in pediatric trauma centers for the assessment of trauma severity. In this research, we aimed to elucidate the predictivity of trauma severity scores, the PRISM-3 (pediatric risk of mortality), and admission laboratory parameters in pediatric patients with high-energy traumas. ⋯ Regarding the results of this research, one can conclude that BIG score is a strong predictor of mortality and morbidity in high-energy pediatric traumas. Although PRISM-3 score has a similar predictive capability, the earlier and easier calculation as-sets of BIG score positions itself as a more useful and powerful predictor for mortality and morbidity in pediatric high-energy traumas.
