A rare cause of hemoperitoneum: A case report of ruptured ileocolic artery aneurysm.
Visceral artery aneurysm (VAA) is very rare among vascular pathologies. Incidence reported in autopsy series and angiographic studies varies between 0.1% and 0.2%. Most cases are asymptomatic and are diagnosed as result of complications, or incidentally, when imaging is performed for another reason. ⋯ Presently described is case of ileocolic artery aneurysm in a patient admitted with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Endovascular intervention had been planned; however, during hospitalization, aneurysm ruptured and emergent surgery was performed. Review of the literature is also presented.

Protective effects of dexmedetomidine and remote ischemic preconditioning on renal ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) and dexmedetomidine as pharmacological conditioning in a rat renal ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury model. ⋯ In the present study, it was demonstrated histomorphologically that both dexmedetomidine and RIPC decreased renal IR injury significantly. In addition, no significant difference was found between dexmedetomidine and RIPC groups.

Cordycepin prevents postoperative formation of intra-abdominal adhesion in a rat model: An experimental study.
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether cordycepin prevented adhesion formation in a rat model. ⋯ Results indicated that cordycepin effectively reduced adhesion in a rat abrasion model. Thus, this agent may be valuable to prevent postoperative adhesion.

Abusive inhalation of butane gas is becoming a serious public health problem among teenagers and young adult population; however, there has been little reporting on explosion burns associated with abuse of butane cigarette lighter fluid. ⋯ All of the patients were young men, and most had superficial burn injury. Hospital stay ranged from 0 to 11 days. All of the patients were treated with conservative management.

Comparative StudyA comparison of the treatment results of dpen reduction internal fixation and intramedullary nailing in adult forearm diaphyseal fractures.
We compared the union and functional results of intramedullary nailing and open reduction internal fixation treatment applied to adults with a forearm diaphysis fracture (fracture of the radius and/or ulna). ⋯ The results of this study showed a significant difference in the intramedullary nailing treatment with respect to time to union, operating time, and amount of bleeding compared with the ORIF treatment. However, no difference was determined in the functional evaluation criteria. Thus, both treatment methods are acceptable in the treatment of forearm diaphyseal fractures in adults with skeletal maturation.
