To investigate the effects of a magnetic field (MF) on febrile seizure latency, seizure duration, and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings in a rat febrile convulsion model. ⋯ Our results suggest that MF exposure has a negative effect on brain waves, and this effect becomes more evident with prolonged exposure. On the other hand, MF exposure significantly decreased the convulsion durations.

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.

Comparative Study
Comparison of the efficacy of prednisolone, montelukast, and omalizumab in an experimental allergic rhinitis model.
To compare the efficacy ofprednisolone, montelukast, and omalizumab in reducing allergic symptoms and inflammation at tissue level in an experimental allergic rhinitis model. ⋯ Prednisolone, montelukast, and omalizumab were found to be effective in controlling the allergic symptoms of allergic rhinitis and upper/lower airway inflammation in an experimental allergic rhinitis model.

Clinical Trial
Hemodynamic effects of chest-knee position: comparison of perioperative propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia.
There are limited data in the literature investigating the effects of anesthetic agents on cardiac output used in the chest-knee position. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of inhalation and total intravenous anesthesia on cardiac output in patients undergoing lumbar discectomy in the chest-knee position. ⋯ Sevoflurane is found to be superior when compared to propofol in patients undergoing surgery in the chest-knee position in terms of perioperative hemodynamic stability. Therefore, sevoflurane may be the anesthetic of choice, especially in patients operated on in the chest-knee position with suspected hemodynamic instability.

The purpose of this study is to find the frequency of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and to show the risk factors in the development of CIN and the diagnostic utility of serum cystatin C (CysC) and serum and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) during childhood following cardiac angiography. ⋯ The results of this study show that according to the definition of CIN, the incidence of CIN is significantly increased in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. Moreover, the results support that serum CysC levels may allow the detection of CIN after cardiac angiography, like serum creatinine in present study.
