Brucellosis is an important disease in developing countries. We aimed to determine the epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of brucellosis, which still has a high morbidity in Turkey. ⋯ Brucellosis has various clinical presentations. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of high fever and joint pains in endemic countries.

To evaluate the effects of montelukast and Hypericum perforatum against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced intestinal damage. ⋯ This study demonstrated the preventive effects of montelukast and Hypericum perforatum on I/R-induced intestinal injury.

To investigate the effect of ozone and/or taurine treatment comparatively on testicular damage due to ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury in an experimental torsion model in rats. ⋯ Using ozone therapy and/or taurine before reperfusion may be a solution for germ cell degeneration resulting from testicular torsion and related infertility.

This study investigated the effect of Ginkgo biloba (GB) on brain volume in cerebral ischemia induced by stopping carotid artery blood flow. ⋯ This result may be interpreted as surgical stress, established by cutaneous incision, having an adverse effect on brain volume. Additionally, the absence of any difference in terms of brain volume following 30 min of ischemia between the ischemia and control groups suggests that a probable postischemic rise in brain volume disappears within 14 days.
