The Impact of Combination of Aerobic and Resistive Exercise on Activities of Daily Living and Risk of Fall in Osteosarcopenic Patients.

Objectives: It is aimed to explain the impact of the combination of aerobic and resistive exercise on activities of daily living and the risk of falls in osteosarcopenic patients.

Methods: Female and male patients over 70 years of age followed up from the osteoporosis outpatient clinic were screened. Appropriate patients were evaluated for sarcopenia gait speed, grip strength and skeletal muscle mass.

Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Rectus Sheath Block for Postoperative Pain After Caesarean Delivery: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

Objective: Postoperative analgesia in caesarean deliveries is becoming increasingly important, since early bonding between mother and infant can be established with effective postoperative analgesia while preventing the unpleasant effects of pain. Additionally, inadequate postoperative analgesia is associated with chronic pain and postpartum depression. The primary objective of this study was to compare the analgesic effects of transversus abdominis plane block and rectus sheath block in patients undergoing elective caesarean delivery.

Ozone-induced retinal vascular reactivity as assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the retinal vascular reactivity (RVR) of the macular and peripapillary capillary network in response to ozonated autohemotherapy (AHT) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods: This was a single-centre prospective study. All participants that were planned to have a combination of major and minor ozone AHT underwent a complete ocular examination and OCTA imaging before and after the ozone AHT.

Pain Symptoms in COVID-19.

Objective: The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 range from mild symptoms to severe pneumonia and severe organ damage. When evaluated specifically for pain, the data so far have shown that myalgia, headache, and chest pain can be seen in patients at varying rates; myalgia and headache, especially, are among the initial symptoms.

Design: This retrospective chart review, followed by a descriptive survey design study, was carried out by examining patients afflicted with COVID-19.

Lumbar Ultrasonography for Obstetric Neuraxial Blocks: Sonoanatomy and Literature Review.

Ultrasonography has gained popularity in recent years among anaesthesiologists and being used widely for regional blocks and central venous catheterization. Ultrasonography for neuraxial blocks was found beneficial especially for determining the correct needle insertion site and estimating the needle insertion depth of epidural space. In many recent studies, ultrasound guided epidural and spinal blocks have been evaluated among obstetric patients.

Fluoroscopic Comparison of Cervical Spine Motion Using LMA CTrach, C-MAC Videolaryngoscope and Macintosh Laryngoscope.

Objective: Endotracheal intubation should be performed with care when cervical spine (C-spine) injury is suspected. The aim of this study was to evaluate the movement of the C-spine using fluoroscopy during intubation with Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) CTrach, C-MAC videolaryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope.

Methods: This was a single-centre, prospective, observational, controlled trial.

Anaesthetic Management of a Patient with Pseudo-TORCH Syndrome.

Background: Pseudo-TORCH syndrome is a rare, chronic disorder that is characterised by dimorphic features such as microcephaly, intracranial calcification, seizures, mental retardation, hepatosplenomegaly and coagulation disorders.

Case Report: We present the anaesthetic management of a forty day-old boy with Pseudo-TORCH syndrome during magnetic resonance imaging. Microcephaly, growth failure, high palate and bilateral rales in the lungs were detected in pre-anaesthetic physical examination.

A randomized controlled trial of preinsertion ultrasound guidance for spinal anaesthesia in pregnancy: outcomes among obese and lean parturients: ultrasound for spinal anesthesia in pregnancy.

Purpose: The present study was conducted to examine if preinsertion lumbar ultrasound scanning helps with performance of spinal puncture, as a tool for decreasing the number of puncture attempts and spinal procedure time and increasing the success rate. We hypothesized that ultrasound can facilitate neuraxial blockade, particularly in pregnant women with difficult topographic anatomy.

Methods: One hundred (50 lean, BMI <30 kg/m(2), and 50 obese, BMI ≥30 kg/m(2)) parturients scheduled for cesarean delivery were divided into ultrasound and control groups.

Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale.

Background And Aims: The aim of this study was to develop a Turkish version of the Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale (NEADLS) and to assess its reliability and validity.

Methods: Sixty healthy volunteers over 67 years old were included in the study. After translation, the Turkish version of the scale was filled in by each participant over a period of 2 weeks.

Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Berg Balance Scale.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop a Turkish version of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and assess its reliability and validity.

Materials And Method: Sixty healthy volunteers older than 65 years were included in to the study. Subjects who had lower extremity amputation, or were armchair or bedridden were excluded.

Evaluation of intense neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium using posttetanic count in male and female patients.

Study Objective: To establish the relationship between train-of-four (TOF) nerve stimulation and the number of posttetanic twitches (posttetanic count [PTC]) during neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium in males and females.

Design: Prospective, observational, clinical comparison.

Setting: Operating room of a university hospital.
