Participants were asked answer 13 questions physical, perceptive, and cognitive problems.Eighty-two questionnaires returned. Although there differences among participants assessment various ranged 32% 72% owing poor conditions.As...

<h3>Background and Objectives:</h3> In this study, we compare paravertebral block (PVB) of the T10 L1 segments multiple-segment PVB for anesthesia analgesia in inguinal hernia surgeries. <h3>Methods:</h3> Anatomic study was performed on 3 cadavers. A 15-mL methylene blue solution injected at level then an additional 5-mL dye injection level. Fifty patients were included study. Patients group 1 (n = 25) underwent 2 vertebrae levels same side as hernia, whereas through 4 T10, T11, T12, hernia....

In the preoperative period, simple methods to identify tumor stage of colorectal cancer patients are needed. recent years, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been used as a predictive parameter for systemic inflammatory response in many different clinical entities. This study aims determine if NLR predicts period. Materials and methods: A total 206 diagnosed with admitted surgical treatment over 6-year period were identified from retrospectively maintained database. was calculated full...

The primary aim of this investigation was to explore the nature dura mater biomechanics following introduction puncture defect(s).Twenty-eight specimens were collected during autopsy from department forensic medicine authors' institution. Specimens divided randomly into one four groups : group I (cranial mater; n=7), II with defect; n=7); III two defects; and IV three n=7).The mean±standard deviation tensile strengths 8.35±3.16, 8.22±3.32, 7.13±1.77, 6.94±1.93 MPa for I, II, III, IV,...

Pyometra, the accumulation of purulent material in uterine cavity, is a rare gynecological condition whose etiology impaired drainage cavity. It uncommon premenopausal age and occurs mainly older postmenopausal women. Clinical signs pyometra are vaginal discharge, bleeding, lower abdominal pain. An 87-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency department with pain, fever, vomiting. The results physical examination revealed rebound tenderness muscular rigidity abdomen. Ultrasonography...

Therapeutic delays in cases of external incarcerated hernias typically result increasing morbidity, mortality, and health expenditures. We investigated the diagnostic role blood fibrinogen level, white count (WBC), mean platelet volume (MPV), distribution width (PDW) patients with hernia. Two groups, each containing 100 patients, were studied. Group A underwent elective, group B urgent hernia repair. observed high WBC levels but low MPV PDW values for B. Contrary to our expectations, we...

Inguinal hernia operations are common procedures in general surgery. There have been many approaches the historical development of repair; tension free repair with mesh being most commonly used technique today. Although it is a clean wound, antibiotic use still controversial due to concerns about infection related synthetic mesh. We aimed determine probable role topical rifampicin patients tension-free and support.The charts who underwent inguinal were retrospectively analyzed. Information...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy hyaluronic acid (HA) and xenografts on repair peri-implant dehiscence-type bone defects occur during implant placement.Forty-two dehiscence Class I type located buccal surface implants were included in study. Defects divided into two main groups as small sized (height <3 mm) medium between 3 5 mm). Both further subgroups HA plus xenograft collagen membrane (HAXC) or (XC) applied groups. After grafting, defect site evaluated with help...

According postoperative histopathological examination specimens, divided into two groups: acute group (G1) normal appendix...

Two patients with breast tuberculosis (BT) were discussed. In the presentation of each a lump without pain and purulent discharge. There was associated axillary lymphadenopathy in one patient. Diagnoses done by open biopsy only antitubercular therapy given to patients. After two months therapy, lumps disappeared completely from both Treatment continued for 9 months. tuberculosis, medical can be used further surgical intervention.

Consultation results of patients who were thought to require a surgical intervention and evaluated in the General Surgery Department for diagnostic support treatment, upon detection pathology clinical and/or laboratory tests.In six-months period, 221 retrospectively analyzed. There 121 male (54.75%) 100 female (45.25%) mean age was 46 years (15-102). The departments which requested consultation, reason test physical examination findings before required additional tests after consultation...
