    Can the arterial clamp method be used safely where a tourniquet cannot be used?

    Background: Clamp application is safe and widely used in the visceral organs. This raises the question: why not use clamping in orthopaedic, oncological, fracture and revision surgeries of areas where tourniquets are not suitable. This experimental animal study aimed to compare tourniquet and arterial clamp applications with regard to their histological effects and inflammatory responses on a molecular level, on the artery, vein, nerve and muscle tissue. Methods: Twenty-one rabbits were divided into three groups (group I: proximal femoral artery clamp

    Rise of serum troponin levels following uncomplicated elective percutaneous coronary interventions in patients without clinical and procedural signs suggestive of myocardial necrosis

    Introduction: The new definition of periprocedural myocardial infarction (type 4a MI) excludes patients without angina and electrocardiographic or echocardiographic changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia even though significant serum troponin elevations occur following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Aim: To evaluate the incidence and predictors of serum troponin rise following elective PCI in patients without clinical and procedural signs suggestive of myocardial necrosis by using a high-sensitivite troponin assay (hsTnT). Material and methods: Three hundred and four patients (mean age: 60.8 +/- 8.8 years, 204 male) undergoing elective PCI were enrolled. Patients with periprocedural angina, electrocardiographic or echocardiographic signs indicating myocardial ischemia or a visible procedural complication such as dissection or side branch occlusion were excluded. Mild-moderate periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) and severe PMI were defined as post-PCI (12 h later) elevation of serum hsTnT concentrations to the range of 14-70 ng/l and > 70 ng/l, respectively. Results: The median pre-procedural hsTnT level was 9.7 ng/l (interquartile range: 7.1-12.2 ng/l). Serum hsTnT concentration elevated (p < 0.001) to 19.4 ng/l (IQR: 12.0-38.8 ng/l) 12 h after PCI. Mild-moderate PMI and severe PMI were detected in 49.3\% and 12.2\% of patients, respectively. Post-procedural hsTnT levels were significantly higher in multivessel PCI, overlapping stenting, predilatation and postdilatation subgroups. In addition, post-procedural hsTnT levels were correlated (r = 0.340

    Effects of pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide on renal and hepatic functions in rats
    (TERMEDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD, 2020-01-01) Bilgic, Tayfun; Narter, Fehmi
    Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery is a preferred method based on its many benefits. However, increasing abdominal pressure by CO2 insufflation during the implementation of this technique poses challenges. Aim: To determine the degree of renal and liver injury that occurs in a pneumoperitoneum (PP) model of prolonged CO2 insufflation. Material and methods: Twenty-one female Sprague Dawley rats were separated randomly into three groups. Group 1 was the control group and given anesthesia for 3 h. In group 2, PP was administered under anesthesia for 1 h. In the last group, PP was administered under anesthesia to animals for 3 h. We measured renal and liver injury biomarkers and made a histopathological evaluation to estimate the degree of injury and assessed the correlation of biomarkers including kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) with histopathological findings. Results: Histopathological analysis according to the kidney ischemia tubular damage score showed a statistically significant difference between the 3 groups (p < 0.001). There was an increase in KIM-1 levels in the groups, although it was not statistically significant (p = 0.062, p = 0.156, p = 0.350 respectively). According to the correlation test in this research, KIM-1 results had a statistically significant association with creatinine, urea, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels in all control and study groups. Conclusions: According to our results, the increase in KIM-1 was correlated with Cr levels and compatible with histopathological analysis. Moreover, intra-abdominal pressure statistically significantly increased the degree of kidney injury and there was not a significant increase in the levels of KIM-1. There was no difference in liver damage between groups.
