Solitary fibrous tumor of visceral pleura

Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is very rare. Surgical treatment is the gold standard in this tumor. In surgery, video-assisted thoracic surgery is an effective surgical approach, with low morbidity and mortality. In this report, we present a 32-year-old man who diagnosed solitary fibrous tumor at right lung. We performed video- assisted thoracic surgery and removed the mass successfully

Left anterior posttraumatic diaphragmatic hernia

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a common injury. Surgical treatment is the gold standard in this situation. In this report, we present a 38-year-old man who diagnosed left anterior posttraumatic diaphragmatic hernia

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Karbonmonoksit (CO) renksiz, kokusuz, tatsız ve irritan olmayan bir gazdır. Karbon kaynaklı yakıtların iyi yanmaması sonucu ortaya çıkar. Kaza veya intihar amacı ile zehirlenmeye neden olabilir. CO iyi havalandırılan kapalı ortamlarda bile hızlı bir şekilde birikebilir. Akut ve kronik zehirlenmelere neden olabilir. Erken tanı ve erken tedavi mortalite ve morbidite yi azaltmaktadır.Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless and nonirritant gas. It is produced by noncomplete consumption of carbon fuels. It can cause poisoning accidentally or as a result of suicidal efforts. Carbon monoxide can even accumulate rapidly in closed places with good air circulation. It can cause both acute and chronic poisoning. Early diagnosis and treatment decrease morbidity and mortalit

Huntington koresi olan bir hastada epidural anestezi

Huntington koresi (HK) nadir görülen otozomal dominant geçiş gösteren sinir sistemi bozukluğudur. Semptomları hayatın 3. ve 4. dekatlarında istemsiz koreiform hareketleri, ataksi ve ilerleyici mental bozulma olarak gösterir. HK tanılı olgularda anestezi yönetimi ile ilgili sadece birkaç olgu sunumu yayınlanmıştır. Hastalar bazı intraoperatif komplikasyonlar (regürjitasyon ve pulmoner aspirasyon gibi), zayıf respiratuar fonksiyon, uzamış suksinilkolin ve tiyopental cevabı, midazolama karşı yükselmiş sensitivite, ve rijit spazmlara yol açan titremeler gibi postoperatif komplikasyonlar açısından yüksek risk altındadırlar.Tüm bunlar güvenli geri dönüş ve anestezi sırasında güvenli havayolu sağlamak için ideal anestezi yönetimi gerektirmektedir. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, literatürlerde HKli hastalarda epidural anestezi uygulanması bulunmamaktadır. Burada, HK tanılı olgumuzda başarılı epidural anestezi deneyimimizi sunmayı amaçladık.Huntington's chorea (HC) is a rare, autosomal, dominant hereditary disorder of the nervous system. Symptoms occur in the third and fourth decade of life and manifest as involuntary choreiform movements, ataxia, and progressive mental deterioration. Only a few case reports have been published describing the anesthetic management of patients with HC. Patients are at greater risk for some intraoperative complications (e.g., regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration), poor respiratory function, prolonged response to succinylcholine and thiopental, increased sensitivity to midazolam, and postoperative shivering leading to rigid spasms. All these factors make an ideal anesthesiological management necessary for this group of patients to guarantee an absolute airway protection during all the anesthesia and a fast and safe recovery. To the best of our knowledge, epidural anesthesia in HC patients has not been reported in the literature. Herein, we present our successful experience using epidural anesthesia in a HC patient

Do non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents prevent stenotic complications of tracheal surgery? The effects of tenoxicam on tracheal healing

Kandis, Hayati/0000-0001-9151-6050WOS: 000293479500020Background: Postoperative strictures, which are still serious problems of tracheal surgery, are caused by an inflammatory reaction with subsequent edema and granulation tissue formation. Taking this into consideration, we have designed a study in which tenoxicam (potent, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug) was used after a tracheal surgery in rats. Methods: Fourteen female Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups (tenoxicam and control group) with equal numbers. Ketamine-xylazine anesthesia was performed in the rats. A vertical incision on the anterior tracheal wall, including the third to fifth cartilaginous rings, was performed and closed primarily with an interrupted suture technique using 4/0 absorbable suture. The tenoxicam group was administered 0.5 mg/kg/day tenoxicam and the control group was given 0.5 cc/day 0.9% NaCl via intraperitoneal route for 10 days beginning from the operation day. After two weeks, all animals were sacrificed under general anesthesia. Tracheas were excised, and a pathologist blindly evaluated the cases. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for statistical analysis, and a value of p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The rat specimens were histologically evaluated and scored for inflammatory cell infiltration, angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, collagen deposition, and epithelial regeneration. There were meaningful differences in fibroblast proliferation (p=0.036) and epithelial regeneration (p=0.002). These results show that epithelial regeneration was higher and fibroblast proliferation was lower in the tenoxicam group. Conclusion: Increased fibroblastic activity causes stenosis after tracheal surgery and the application of tenoxicam diminishes fibroblast proliferation and improves epithelial healing. Therefore, postoperative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug usage might be a useful therapy in the prevention of stenotic complications after tracheal surgery. However, further studies are needed
