Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the localization and configuration of vibration and obstruction in drug-induced sleep endoscopy(DISE) in obstructive sleep apnea patients and to investigate the optimal sedation depth.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted prospectively with 42 patients. After achieving sedation with intravenous anesthetic agents, simultaneous monitoring of the patient's bispectrometry (BIS), DISE and sleep testing with a type 2 polysomnography device were performed.
Background: Cervical radiculopathy is caused by dysfunction of nerve roots in the cervical spine. While many studies have assessed the effectiveness of interlaminar epidural steroid injection (ILESI) and stabilisation exercises separately for this condition, our study aims to evaluate the impact of different stabilisation exercise programmes following ILESI on treatment outcomes in radiculopathy patients.
Methods: Sixty-two patients with cervical radiculopathy were randomised into three groups: cervical ILESI-only (CO), neck stabilisation group (NSG) and scapular stabilisation group (SSG).
The aim was to explore the efficiency of Tideglusib in bone tissue healing by carrying it with different scaffolds on rat calvarial lesions. Twentyfour male Dawley rats were utilized. Two bone defects of 5 mm in diameter were formed (n = 8).

- The study aimed to assess how dry needling impacts pain relief in patients undergoing interlaminar epidural steroid injections for cervical disc herniation with active trigger points.
- Three groups were formed: one received both steroid injections and dry needling, another received steroid injections and a sham treatment, and the third received only injections.
- Results showed that the combination of steroid injections and dry needling significantly lowered pain levels more than the other treatments and increased pain thresholds, highlighting its effectiveness.
