Objective: We aimed to compare highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (hp-hMG) and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) in short antagonist in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles of patients with poor ovarian reserve (POR). Limited research exists on this comparison in short antagonist cycles for this patient group.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved 165 POR patients aged 18-45 years who underwent IVF between 2018 and 2022.

Background: Shoulder arthroscopy, a standard orthopedic procedure, often results in severe postoperative pain, leading to high opioid consumption and delayed recovery. Various analgesic methods, including peripheral nerve blocks, manage this pain. The pericapsular nerve group block is a relatively new technique whose efficacy in shoulder surgeries has yet to be extensively studied.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty, commonly performed to alleviate hip pain and enhance functionality in elderly patients, requires effective postoperative pain management to reduce opioid consumption and its associated side effects. A novel regional anaesthesia technique, the sacral erector spinae plane block, has the potential to enhance the quality of postoperative recovery significantly.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter study investigated the effects of the sacral erector spinae plane block on recovery quality in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors are malignant tumors that, despite harboring a high mutational burden, often have intact TP53. One of the most frequent mutations in MSI-H tumors is a frameshift mutation in RPL22, a ribosomal protein. Here, we identified RPL22 as a modulator of MDM4 splicing through an alternative splicing switch in exon 6.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of this study was to minimize tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery using the remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) model, as well as to assess antioxidant balance with thioldisulfi de homeostasis (TDH). The secondary goal is to evaluate the impact of RIPC on TKA clinical outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients in the ASA I-III group who underwent elective TKA were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical research.

Objective: Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content is a serious complication of anesthesia. It is unclear what effects different parts of the menstrual cycle have on how long it takes for the stomach to empty. This prospective observational study assessed the relationship between menstrual cycle phases and gastric emptying using ultrasonography (USG) in volunteers of reproductive age.

Nowadays, 3D printers, which have a wide range of applications, continue to become widespread and are more and more common. As a result, in addition to the visuality of the parts produced with this method, their mechanical properties have gained importance depending on where they are used. In addition to the many conveniences, it provides during the design and production phases according to traditional methods the features of the printing parameters used, especially the printing direction and angle, which vary depending on the direction.

Background: The purpose of this study is to assess the readability, understandability, and quality of information on retinopathy of prematurity presented at websites frequently visited by parents.

Methods: A total of 220 websites were assessed, which were recruited by searching for "retinopathy of prematurity" at the Google search engine. The readability of each web page was assessed by Flesch Reading Ease Score, Gobbledygook's Gunning Frequency, Flesch Kincaid Grade Level, Coleman Liau score, The Simple Measure of Gobbledygook, Fry Graph Readability Formula, and Automated readability score.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers assessed YouTube videos on donning and doffing PPE, categorizing 300 videos into educationally useful and non-useful based on a valid assessment tool; only 66 videos met the inclusion criteria for usefulness.
  • * Findings indicate that videos created by healthcare agencies and hospitals were generally more educationally useful than those made by individuals, and the overall usefulness of videos correlated with their view counts, suggesting YouTube could be a valuable learning tool if the right videos are selected.
