OBJECTIVES: Betanin and copper sulphate have been previously indicated as benefi cial agents for ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) antioxidant compounds in various models.We investigated whether betanin any protective effects on the heart lung against I/R injury rats.METHODS: Spraque-Dawley rats were assigned groups: Sham (laparotomy only), control (I/R treatment (100 mg/kg of administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) 60 minutes before I/R) sulfate group (0.1 mg/kg/day i.p. 7 days I/R).Ischemia was...

The aim of this study is to present our experience with Nuss bar removal and evaluate potential risk factors. procedure requires an operation remove the 2-3 years after initial correction. Although generally believed be safe, perioperative complications including major bleeding can occur.All cases involving done since April 2007 were recorded in a prospective database. Data collected on amount blood loss, number diagnostic interventions, operative management postoperative course.Of total 246...

Aim: Aim of the study was to determine medical school students’ knowledge levels and attitudes who accomplished Obstetric Gynecology clerkship in a about HPV vaccination intention suggest vaccine their patients. Method: This descriptive carried out among 166 students accomplishing internship Obstetrics Gynaecological Diseases Department. Study data had been collected by questionnaire which three part 30 question. The were evaluated statistics. Results: Fifty five point four stated that...

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine protective/modulatory effects betanin in a femoral artery vasospasm model rats. Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups. Group 1: sham (n = 7), group 2: only 3: postoperative treatment the 7). 100 mg/kg was administered orally 3 for 7 days, postoperatively. Peripheral blood malondialdehyde (MDA) nitric oxide (NO) levels measured quantification oxidative stress, lumen diameter wall thickness segments determined...

ABSTRACT Nephrotic syndrome is a well‐recognized entity in congenital syphilis but leucocytoclastic vasculitis has not yet been described. We report case of nephrotic and associated with 45‐day‐old male infant who did well after treatment intravenous penicillin.

<b>Background</b> Nuss procedure has become the of choice for well-selected patients with pectus excavatum. Perioperative complications may pose difficulty during subsequent bar removal due to adhesions and tissue plane disruptions initial surgery repair. This report describes experience in whose procedures were complicated by cardiac injury, pericardial breach, lung parenchyma/diaphragm injury procedure. <b>Methods</b> A total 529 who underwent between 2007 2014 recorded a prospective...

Syntax score II (SSII) is a highly predictive scoring system, which used to improve individualized assessment of patients with complex coronary artery disease and facilitates clinical decision making. Surrogate markers [carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), epicardial fat tissue (EFT)] are also for risk assessment, but their relation SSII not well established.We enrolled 543 consecutive patients, who underwent angiography stable angina pectoris acute syndrome, in the study. was calculated...

This study aims to present our experience with endobronchial coils in patients who underwent lung volume reduction due advanced emphysema.The included 46 (45 males, 1 female; mean age 61.7±8 years; range, 43 80 years) for emphysema. Patients" age, gender, pulmonary function tests, post-treatment morbidity, mortality, pre- and (6 months) six-minute walking distance, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scores, chronic obstructive disease assessment test Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale...

Thoracic paravertebral block can provide analgesia for unilateral chest surgery and is associated with a low complication rate. Horner syndrome also referred to as oculosympathetic paresis, classic neurologic constellation of ipsilateral blepharoptosis, pupillary miosis, facial anhidrosis resulting from disruption the sympathetic pathway supplying head, eye, neck.We present patient an transient after ultrasound guided single shot 15mL 0.25% levobupivacaine thoracic at T5-6 level.It should be...

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) anatomic lung resections are gradually becoming the standard surgical approach in early-stage non-small cell cancer (NSCLC). The technique is being applied cases of larger tumors depending on experience team. objective this study was to compare early and survival outcomes patients undergoing pulmonary using VATS thoracotomy techniques for clinical T2 NSCLC during adaptation period team approach.The data all who underwent resection open since April...

Objective: We designed novel practical simulation models for VATS lung nodule palpation and vessel dissection, subsequently evaluated the performances of residents in our thoracic surgery program to account appropriate level difficulty grade learning experience. Methods: Artificial nodules were formed by injecting sheep heart blocks with either cyanoacrylate or construction silicone diluted synthetic thinner. environment was using a sponge, tube balloon placed inside tunnel within sponge...

Objectives: We designed a novel practical wet lab model for video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lung nodule palpation and evaluated the performances of residents attendings in our thoracic surgery programme. Methods: Artificial nodules were formed by injecting sheep trachea/lung blocks with either cyanoacrylate or construction grade silicone diluted synthetic thinner. Cyanoacrylate resulted hard, fixed pleural discolouration if applied subpleurally. Silicone rubbery that can blend into...

Objectives: Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare lung anomaly for which surgical resection the definitive treatment. Although thoracotomy conventional approach, minimally invasive surgery associated with less morbidity. We report case of 28-year-old female suffering from back pain and haemoptysis. Methods: Radiologic evaluation revealed pulmonary in left lower lobe mediobasal segment descending aorta supply. She underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) basilar segmentectomy, sparing...
