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.

Effect on mortality of treatment method and surgery time for hip fracture patients aged over 65 years.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects on mortality of implant selection used and time to surgery in patients aged over 65 years operated for hip fractures. ⋯ Operation in the first 48 hours was not observed to affect mortality. Additionally, while sex and age were found to be effective on mortality, implant selection was also concluded to affect mortality.

The protective effects of adalimumab on intestinal injury induced with infrarenal aortic occlusion.
The present study aims to observe the effects of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) on small intestines at a molecular level and to prospectively assess the potential preventive role of adalimumab (ADA) and antioxidants. ⋯ We found that ADA treatment reduced MDA levels and decreased the numerical density of caspase-3 and TNF-α positive enterocytes compared to the IR group (p=0.00; p=0.011; p=0.00, respectively). We conclude that ADA can be beneficial in preventing intestinal injury that arises from IR.

Effects of dabigatran and fondaparinux on degloving injuries: An experimental study.
Management of the skin degloving injuries is still a problematic issue, and the avulsed part of the skin may become necrotic. We hypothesized that the anticoagulant pharmacological agents, fondaparinux and dabigatran may be beneficial in the treatment of degloving injuries by enhancing the viability of the reattached flap. ⋯ Dabigatran and fondaparinux improved tissue survival in skin degloving injuries concerning gross morphological and histopathological findings. However, the findings of this study should be supported and improved by new experimental and especially clinical studies.
