To analyze the clinical effectiveness and safety of early interventional embolization in the treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysm. ⋯ Early interventional embolization has satisfactory effect in the treatment of cerebral aneurysm rupture and effectively improve prognosis; hence it is worth promotion in clinical practice.
-
To find the association between breast milk feeding with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants. ⋯ Slightly lesser percentage of preterm babies who were breast fed developed retinopathy of prematurity.
-
To evaluate the efficacy of the chest tube drainage (CTD) and the needle aspiration (NA) in the treatment of primary Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). ⋯ Needle aspiration (NA) can be applied as a first step treatment in patients with primary SP, considering its advantages.

It is known that the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with adverse outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. We aimed to reveal the association of NLR and thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) with ischemic stroke patients. ⋯ Physicians should focus on patients with increased NLR, as these patients appear to represent a population at risk for increased morbidity. We have quantitatively demonstrated in tissue oxidative stress level with TDH parameters. Investigation of these new parameters should be continued for the determination of prognostic significance.
