Observational StudyDigital replantation/revascularization: predictive factors to microsurgery success-a single-center study.
Success rate in replantation/revascularization digital surgery is one of the challenges of reconstructive surgery. For this reason, investigating prognostic factors for survival and improvement of outcomes is highly relevant. The goal of this study was to establish predictive factors of survival in replantation/revascularization digital surgery. ⋯ Success rate in traumatic digital surgery is greater when revascularization surgery is performed, rather than replantation. Preoperative ischemia time, length of surgery, postoperative complications and re-intervention requirement are the factors that affect survival rate.

Beneficial effects of bardoxolone methyl, an Nrf2 activator, on crush-related acute kidney injury in rats.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bardoxolone methyl (BM), a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activator, on acute kidney injury in a rat model of crush syndrome model. ⋯ BM treatment prevented the progression of crush-related AKI in rats possibly through its cytoprotective effects of being an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic agent.

ReviewRehabilitation protocols in unstable trochanteric fractures treated with cephalomedullary nails in elderly: current practices and outcome.
Optimal rehabilitation treatment after surgery for fixation of unstable trochanteric fractures is challenging in elderly patients. ⋯ With evidence available to date, there is no clear agreement on the postoperative rehabilitation protocol following fixation of an unstable trochanteric fracture by cephalomedullary nail in the elderly.
