The Effect of Menthol Ice on Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Patients' Thirst, Dry Mouth, Mouth Taste, and Bad Mouth Odor: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of menthol ice application on thirst, dry mouth, mouth taste, and bad mouth odor in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the postoperative period.

Design: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial with an experimental design.

Methods: The study sample consisted of 90 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and met the inclusion criteria.

Comparison of the effects of general and spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery on maternal and fetal outcomes: A retrospective analysis of data.

Objective: General or single-shut spinal anesthesia (SA) is applied for cesarean section and both methods of anesthesia have different effects on the mother and newborn. This retrospective study, in which 1-year data were analyzed, was aimed to examine the effects of general or SA on maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Methods: Anesthesia technique, mother's age, gestational age, number of pregnancies, previous cesarean delivery number, maternal complications, and indications for cesarean delivery were analyzed in 883 cesarean deliveries.

How Do Early Maladaptive Schemas and Family Functions Predict Dyadic Marital Adjustment? A Test on Turkish Married Individuals.

The aim of this study is to determine the predictive strength of early maladaptive schema domains and family functions in explaining dyadic marital adjustment by testing a hypothetical structural model. While the dependent variable was dyadic marital adjustment, the independent variables were early maladaptive schema domains, and the mediator variable was family functions. The study group consisted of 201 Turkish married individuals.

Dexmedetomidine or midazolam in combination with propofol for sedation in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: a randomized double blind prospective study.

Introduction: Interventional endoscopic procedures, such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), often require sedation during the procedure. The most commonly used drugs for this purpose are midazolam and propofol, which are used as sedative and hypnotic agents with minimal analgesic potential.

Aim: To compare the analgesic sedative effects of midazolam-propofol and dexmedetomidine-propofol combinations and their influence on hemodynamic and respiratory variables in patients undergoing ERCP.

Comparison of General Anesthesia with Spinal Anesthesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Operations.

Objective: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) operations are being performed under general anesthesia (GA). Further studies are needed on the issue whether these operations can be performed under spinal anesthesia (SA). In this study we aimed to compare SA with (GA) in terms of efficacy and complications in patients who will undergo LC operations, and to investigate the effects of preemptive analgesia on the development of shoulder pain, transition to general anesthesia, and postoperative analgesia.
