Isolated fallopian tube torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen mostly seen in women of reproductive age. It is often diagnosed during surgery. In this study we aimed to present a case of isolated fallopian tube torsion in a child. An 11-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain. With the help of radiological evaluation we diagnosed. It should be kept in mind that even if ovarian blood flow is normal in girls with abdominal pain, it may be an isolated tubular torsion and requires immediate intervention.

Objectives Postoperative ventilatory strategies in patients with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) may have an impact on early postoperative complications. Our national Esophageal Atresia Registry was evaluated to define a possible relationship between the type and duration of respiratory support on postoperative complications and outcome. Study Design Among the data registered by 31 centers between 2015 and 2021, patients with esophago‐esophageal anastomosis (EEA)/tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) were divided into two groups; invasive ventilatory support (IV) and noninvasive ventilatory support and/or oxygen support (NIV‐OS). The demographic findings, gestational age, type of atresia, associated anomalies, and genetic malformations were evaluated. We compared the type of repair, gap length, chest tube insertion, follow‐up times, tensioned anastomosis, postoperative complications, esophageal dilatations, respiratory problems requiring treatment after the operation, and mortality rates. Results Among 650 registered patients, 502 patients with EEA/TEF repair included the study. Four hundred and seventy of patients require IV and 32 of them had NIV‐OS treatment. The IV group had lower mean birth weights and higher incidence of respiratory problems when compared to NIV‐OS group. Also, NIV‐OS group had significantly higher incidence of associated anomalies than IV groups. The rates of postoperative complications and mortality were not different between the IV and NIV‐OS groups. Conclusion We demonstrated that patients who required invasive ventilation had a higher incidence of low birth weight and respiratory morbidity. We found no relation between mode of postoperative ventilation and surgical complications. Randomized controlled trials and clinical guidelines are needed to define the best type of ventilation strategy in children with EA/TEF.

There were no significant differences between the control and LMSC groups with respect to fibrosis (P = 0.070) or inflammation (P = 0.048). Fibrosis and inflammation were significantly lower in the IVMSC (P = 0.034 for fibrosis, P = 0.080 for inflammation) and LMSC (P = 0.01 for fibrosis, P = 0.013 for inflammation) groups when compared with the sham group. No significant differences regarding fibrosis and inflammation were observed between the IVMSC and LMSC groups (P = 0.198 for fibrosis, P = 0.248 for inflammation). A significant difference was noted between the sham and LMSC groups concerning VEGF staining intensity (P = 0.017). However, no significant difference was found among the groups with regard to the extent or intensity of CD105 staining (P > 0.05). Conclusion:MSC treatment significantly decreased the development of fibrosis in a uroepithelial injury model.
