Anatomy Of The Lateral Ankle Ligaments, Muzaffer Si̇ndel, Sevgi Demi̇r, Aydın Yildirim, Yaşar Uçar
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
The lateral ligaments of talocrural articulation, namely anterior talofibular ligament, posterior talofibular ligament and cal-caneofibular ligament, are important in an-atomic reconstruction. If reconstructed improperly, they are known to limit the movements of talocrural articulation and subtalar articulation (talocalcaneal articulation) Studies on anatomy of anterior talofibular ligament, posterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament known as the lateral ligaments have some discrepancies. Knowing the importance of a more detailed discription of ankle ligament anatomy for reconstructing and fixing the ligaments, we studied 24 ankles and examined the width, length, attachment points of all three ligaments and their relationships with talocrural joint and …

The Inhibitory Effect Of Zinc On Imipenem Andmeropenem Susceptibility Of Pseudomonasaeruginosa, Selahattin Atmaca, Ramazan Çiçek, Kadri Gül
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
In this study we have showed that zinc ion has an inhibitory activity on imipenem and meropenem suspectibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. When zinc ion concentration of Mueller-Hinthon agar (MHA) media was gradually increased the zone diameters of imipenem and meropenem gradually decreased. So we concluded that zinc concentration in the media might effect imipenem and meropenem susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and might indicate false resistance to imipenem and meropenem. Therefore the use of these antipseudomonal antibiotics in Pseudomonas infections may be restricted.
