Background and Aim: Subarachnoid block is the technique of choice in Caesarean sections for which 0.5% hyperbaric solution of Bupivacaine is the most commonly used local anaesthetic agent. However, newer local anaesthetics like Ropivacaine which produces relatively lower motor block and better sensory-motor differentiation with haemodynamic stability can also be used. The present study was aimed to compare two different doses of isobaric ropivacaine (0.75%) with fentanyl as adjuvant intrathecall...

Undescended testicle is seen in 3-4% of children. This rate can reach up to 40% in premature children. Treatment should be completed until the age of one year in children with undescended testicle. There is a risk of infertility and tumor development due to treatments that are not performed at the appropriate time. In addition, there may be psychological problems in children and their parents due to cosmetic reasons. It is seen that the number of experimental and clinical studies related to the ...

An important subgroup of traumatic pneumothoraces, iatrogenic pneumothorax may occur during a variety of invasive procedures, including surgeries. In this report, we present a case of iatrogenic pneumothorax that occurred during parathyroid gland biopsy. A 54-year-old male patient arrived at our clinic complaining of acute onset right-sided chest pain and dyspnea that occurred during parathyroid gland biopsy. The patient’s physical examination revealed diminished respiratory sounds in the right ...

Cutaneous metastases of visceral tumours are uncommon and might have umbilical and/or extra umbilical locations. The umbilical location, also named "Nodule of Sister Marie-Joseph" among 7 to 9% are secondary to a pancreatic tumour. In this article, we reported a case of a 50-years-old man presenting pancreatic cancer discovered by umbilical nodules and weight loss noticed 3 months earlier treated by palliative chemotherapy. We report this case of rare presentation of cutaneous metastases of panc...

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to supplement the database of intervertebral foramen by measuring the parameters of the lower lumbar spine related to the articular process of the X-ray, which could lay a theoretical foundation for the individualized surgery of transforaminal endoscopic spine technique (TEST). Methods: Anteroposterior and lateral X-rays of the lumbar spine from 104 adults (50 male and 54 female) who met the measurement criteria were selected. The height and width of the inte...

Open lung biopsy (OLB) is known as a gold standard for the definitive diagnosis of parenchymal lung diseases acute or chronic, localised or diffused. It has high diagnostic yield over brochio-alveolar lavage (BAL) and trans-bronchial needle biopsy (TBB). The use of the OLB in non-intensive care unit patients is considered as a relatively safe technique but the use of OLB in critically ill patients and ICU patients is not well studied and unclearly defined. Large randomised study should be perfor...

Background: Surgical resection with microscopically negative margins remains the main curative option for pancreatic cancer; however, in practice intraoperative delineation of resection margins is challenging. Ambient mass spectrometry imaging has emerged as a powerful technique for chemical imaging and real-time diagnosis of tissue samples. We applied an approach combining desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) with the least absolute shrinkage and selection ope...
