Use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in Labor Pain: An Integrative Review.

Background: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive, safe electrophysical pain relief method during childbirth.

Aim: This study was carried out to reveal information about the effectiveness of TENS, which is used to relieve labor pain.

Methods: Inspired by Whittemore and Knafl, we conducted an integrative literature review, including the five key stages of problem identification, literature search, data evaluation, data analysis, and presentation of results.

Change of bioactive properties, spectral reflectance, and color characteristics of European cranberry (Viburnum opulus L.) juice as affected by foam mat drying technique.

The European cranberry bush, known for its health benefits, can only be consumed through fermentation. This study aimed to develop a fruit leather made from European cranberry bush using quince seed gel and the foam drying method. For this purpose, quince seed gel was added to European cranberry juice to increase consistency.

Cardiac Surgical Bleeding, Transfusion, and Quality Metrics: Joint Consensus Statement by the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Cardiac Society and Society for the Advancement of Patient Blood Management.

Background: Excessive perioperative bleeding is associated with major complications in cardiac surgery, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality, and cost.

Methods: An international expert panel was convened to develop consensus statements on the control of bleeding and management of transfusion and to suggest key quality metrics for cardiac surgical bleeding. The panel reviewed relevant literature from the previous 10 years and used a modified RAND Delphi methodology to achieve consensus.

Machine learning and computer vision technology to analyze and discriminate soil samples.

Soil texture is one of the most important elements to consider before planting and tillage. These features affect the product selection and regulate its water permeability. Discrimination of soils by determining soil texture features requires an intense workload and is time-consuming.
