The Effect of Virtual Reality on Pain, Anxiety, Physiological Parameters, and Postspinal Headache in Patients Undergoing Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of virtual reality (VR) on pain, anxiety, physiological parameters, and postspinal headache in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia.

Design: This was a randomized controlled experimental trial.

Methods: The research was conducted in the operating room unit of the state hospital in Hakkari-Şemdinli District Center between May 2021 and June 2022.

Asymmetric phthalocyanine-based hole-transporting materials: evaluating the role of heterocyclic units and PMMA additive.

Two novel asymmetric phthalocyanine derivatives, ZnPc-1 and ZnPc-2, are synthesized to enhance charge transfer properties and mitigate deep-level traps on the perovskite surface using electron-rich nitrogen atoms. PSCs with ZnPc-1 and ZnPc-2 as hole-transporting materials (HTMs) achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 12.11% and 8.

What Happens to Serum Levels of Visinin-Like Protein-1, Caveolin-1 and Neuron-Specific Enolase after Supratentorial Glioma Resection: A Pilot Study.

Aim: To observe changes in the serum levels of visinin-like protein-1 (VILIP-1), caveolin-1 (Cav-1) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) after glioma resection.

Material And Methods: Consecutive 14 glioma patients with different histologic grade and 14 age and gender-matched healthy subjects were included in this pilot study. From the patients serum samples were taken in preoperative and on day 2 and 10 of postoperative periods.

Digesting gluten with oral endopeptidases to improve the management of celiac disease.

In our editorial, we want to comment on the article by Stefanolo titled "Effect of Aspergillus niger prolyl endopeptidase in patients with celiac disease on a long-term gluten-free diet". Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disorder triggered by dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Although avoiding gluten can permit patients to live symptom-free, ongoing voluntary or involuntary exposure to gluten is common and associated with persistent villous atrophy in small bowel mucosa.
