Observational StudyDoes preservation of active range of motion after acute elbow injury rule out the need for radiography?
We aimed to evaluate the role of a normal elbow active range of motion (ROM) in predicting low fracture risk and avoiding elbow X-ray in patients with acute elbow injuries. Lack of any approved rules for this purpose led us to evaluate simple physical examination methods to predict elbow fractures. ⋯ Patients with elbow injury and a limited ROM in all directions of flexion, extension, supination and pronation require further X-ray investigations.

[Clinical and radiological results in distal tibial physeal injuries].
In this study, we evaluated the clinical and radiological results of the distal tibial epiphyseal fractures in children treated with surgery. ⋯ Successful results with fewer complications could be obtained in ankle physeal fractures with early management through adequate reduction and stabilized fixation.

Burn injuries are a huge public health issue for children. The aim of this study was to determine the demographic and etiological features, burn wound infections, and clinical trends of 2346 pediatric burns patients over 15 years in the southeast provinces of Turkey and to establish criteria for a pediatric burn prevention program. ⋯ The epidemiological features of pediatric burns in the southeast region of Turkey differ from those of other regions. Burn prevention education should include training in pediatric burn prevention.

Effects of the aged garlic extract on spinal cord injury model in rat.
Aged garlic extract (AGE) is a potent antioxidant agent with an established neuroprotective effect in cerebral ischemia. However, the potential protective effect of AGE in spinal cord injury (SCI) is still unknown. ⋯ AGE demonstrated neuroprotective effects in SCI. Further studies with different experimental settings are required to achieve conclusive results.
