Infrarenal abdominal aortic occlusion and reperfusion causes lung injury. We conclude that trapidil has preventive effects in the lung tissue after IR injury.
Concentrations of acute phase proteins (CRP: C-reactive protein,
albumin) change during surgery. We investigated the acute phase
response to circumcision and the effects of anaesthesia on this
response. The children were divided into four groups; group 1
(intratracheal general anaesthesia, n = 40), group 2 (general
anaesthesia with mask, n = 20), group 3 (ketamine, n = 20), group
4 (local anaesthesia, n = 35). Blood samples were obtained, 24
hours before circumcision, after premedication, and 24 hours after
circumcision. CRP and albumin before circumcision were comparable
for all groups. There was no increase in CRP, and albumin remained
steady throughout the study. No difference was observed among the
groups, and related to anaesthesia. No responsiveness may be
explained with the size of injured tissue or anatomical and
histological type of preputium.
The botulinum-A toxin paralyzes the cremasteric muscles of the rats. As cremasteric hypertonicity is accepted as one of the reasons for retractile testes, botulinum-A toxin injection to cremasteric muscles may be helpful in diagnosis and may be an alternative to surgical treatment of this pathology in repeated dosages. Long-term evaluation of this paralysis is necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
