aim and background: remote ischemic preconditioning introduces brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion which reduces long term ischemia in orthopaedic surgery. the aim of this study was to evaluate hemodynamic and respiratory effects of remote ischemic preconditioning in lower extremity orthopaedic surgeries. methods: in this clinical trial 40 patients scheduled for lower extremity surgery w...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the differences between hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients in terms of clinical and functional features. METHODS Medical records of the patients with stroke were analyzed retrospectively. The patients' demographic characteristics, stroke etiology, time interval after the event, comorbid illness and functional status were recorded. RESU...

for high occurrences of upper extremity disorders in working populations and in order to compare the occurrence of musculoskeletal alterations due to ergonomic risk factors such as highly force exertion, repetition, awkward posture between exposed and non-exposed groups, the research was carried out in tabarestan steel industry. all 526 male workers (316 as exposed group : 132 aged 20-35 years,...

This case report details our experience with lower-extremity ischemia due to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The patient presented massive myonecrosis caused by of the thighs and lower legs. Biphasic wound closure was performed using ultrasound debridement negative-pressure therapy prepare bed after knee disarticulation above-knee amputation.

Congenital deformities of the upper extremity are rare. They are often associated with other, more severe disorders of the cardiovascular, craniofacial, neurologic, and musculoskeletal systems. Most upper-extremity congenital anomalies are minor and cause no functional deficits, and surgical reconstruction is therefore unnecessary. If a severe cosmetic deformity is present or there is significa...
