Purpose: To evaluate the effect of upper eyelid blepharoplasty with or without the removal of a strip of orbicularis oculi muscle on corneal topographic parameters, anterior segment parameters, intraocular pressure, and ocular biometry.
Method: This prospective study examined 428 eyes of 214 patients with dermatochalasis. Patients were divided into two groups randomly: those who underwent orbicularis oculi muscle excision (Group 1) during blepharoplasty and those who did not (Group 2).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the level of peripheral blood systemic immune indexes in pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) patients and to compare the results with healthy controls.
Methods: This study included 143 healthy controls (group 1) and 100 patients (group 2). Peripheral blood samples were collected from all participants.
Cardiomyopathy, which is shortly defined as a disease of the myocardium, has a broad definition that includes many different diagnoses. Recent advances in cardiac imaging techniques, including basic and advanced echocardiography, computed tomography, nuclear medicine, and cardiac magnetic resonance, allow for a more accurate evaluation of volumes and thickness of cardiac chambers, systolic and diastolic function of the ventricules, and tissue structure. Multimodality imaging often provides the first clinical suspicion for specific etiologies, especially when the medical and family history is unclear, by identification of red flags of underlying systemic diseases.

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two concentrations of topical cyclosporine A (0.05% and 0.1%) after pterygium surgery in terms of recurrence and other clinical parameters over six months.
- A total of 245 patients were divided into three groups and assessed for visual acuity, intraocular pressure, inflammation, and pterygium recurrence at various postoperative intervals.
- The findings indicated no significant differences in recurrence, inflammation, or intraocular pressure among the groups, suggesting that both concentrations of cyclosporine A are similarly effective in improving postoperative outcomes.
Background And Purpose: It was aimed to investigate the effects of massage with or without aromatherapy given to patients after colorectal cancer surgery on symptom management in the first three postoperative days.
Materials And Methods: This study was carried out with a pretest-posttest randomized controlled design. The study included the aromatherapy massage group (AG; n = 30), the classical massage group (MG; n = 30), and one control group (CG; n = 30).
