To analyse patients those admitted to our clinic due to perforation in duodenum. Fourteen patients those have been admitted to our center with perforation in duodenum between 1990 - 2014 analysed retrospectively. Ten patients (8M, 6F) those have been admitted to our clinic between 1990 - 2014 have a mean age of 6.2 years (25 days - 16 years). ⋯ Two patients died. Perforation in duedenum is a rare entity that pediatric surgeons should encounter and keep in mind. Primary repair (duodenoraphy ± omentoplasty) is safe and reliable surgical treatment modality.

Effects of saline lavage temperature on peritoneal fibrinolysis and adhesion formation.
Peritoneal lavage with saline at room temperature causes peritoneal hypothermia, vasoconstriction, hypoxia, and acidosis, which are effects that are known to reduce fibrinolysis. Decreased fibrinolysis causes permanent adhesions. Normothermic lavage may prevent this deleterious process and reduce peritoneal adhesions. ⋯ Our results suggest that normothermic saline lavage reduces adhesions by improving peritoneal fibrinolysis.

Repairing peripheral nerve defects by vein grafts filled with adipose tissue derived stromal vascular fraction: an experimental study in rats.
There are many studies in the literature combining vein grafts with cell cultures, muscle, tendon, and nerve tissues, but none of them could replace isolated nerve grafts for nerve repair in clinical settings. There are studies in the literature indicating that adipose tissue derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) enhances peripheral nerve healing. Considering these facts, an experimental study was performed in rats based on combining SVF with vein grafts for peripheral nerve defect repairs. ⋯ In conclusion, our results support the usage of stromal vascular fraction-vein graft combination for peripheral nerve defect repairs.

Comparative StudyThe comparison of triceps-reflecting anconeus pedicle and olecranon osteotomy approaches in the treatment of intercondylar fractures of the humerus.
This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients with intra-articular distal humerus fractures treated with triceps-reflecting anconeus pedicle (TRAP) and olecranon osteotomy. ⋯ TRAP is a succesful approach in the treatmet of intra-articular distal humerus fractures that provides better arc of elbow motion, reduces complications and reoperation rates.

Observational StudySurvival probability in self immolation attempters: a prospective observational cohort study.
Self-immolation is one of the most violent methods of suicide in developing countries. The objective of the present study was to investigate the survival rate and factors affecting survival of self-immolation patients. ⋯ Burn percentage is the strongest risk factor, those with high burns percentage should be hospitalized quickly and without waste of time.
