Exploring the protective role of green tea extract against cardiovascular alterations induced by chronic REM sleep deprivation via modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Background: Chronic Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep deprivation has been associated with various cardiovascular alterations, including disruptions in antioxidant defense mechanisms, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory responses. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of green tea extract (GTE) in mitigating these adverse effects.

Methods: A total of 24 male Wistar albino rats were used in this study and divided into the control group (n = 8), Chronic-REM Sleep Deprivation (CRSD) Group (n = 8) and Chronic-REM SD + Green Tea 200 (CRSD + GTE200) Group (n = 8).

Fibromyalgia symptoms before and after septoplasty: A cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of septoplasty on fibromyalgia symptoms in patients with septum deviation. Patients who were over 18 years of age, had been diagnosed with nasal septum deviation, and indicated for septoplasty were selected consecutively and included in the study. Patients were evaluated twice, at baseline and after septoplasty at 3 months.

Patient education in the digital age: An analysis of quality and readability of online information on rhinoplasty.

This study aimed to investigate quality and readability of online rhinoplasty information provided on Turkish websites. We searched for the terms "rhinoplasty" (rinoplasti) and "nose job" (burun estetiği) in Turkish using the Google search engine in May 2023. The first 30 sites for each term were included in the evaluation.

Ototoxicity of Topical Castellani Solution and Boric Acid in Alcohol: an Experimental Study on Rats.

The aim of this study is to determine the ototoxicities of boric acid in alcohol (BAA) and Castellani solutions by means of distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE). A total of 28 rats were randomly divided into four groups, each group consisting of 7 animals. Then, 0.

Association of Blood Subgroups With PCR Test Positivity and Lung Involvement in Patients With COVID-19.

Objective The goal of this study was to investigate whether blood group type caused susceptibility to COVID-19 infection. Methods Two hundred and eleven consecutive patients admitted with various symptoms associated with COVID-19 were included. We compared the AB0 and Rh subgroup distributions between patients with a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result and the patients without.

The novel indicators of moderate to severe sleep apnea: fibrinogen to albumin ratio vs. CRP to albumin ratio.

Purpose: This study aimed at investigating the association of severity of obstructive sleep apnea with the markers of inflammation as fibrinogen to albumin ratio and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio.

Methods: We included 126 patients admitted to sleep disorders outpatient clinic. We constituted four groups by reference to the apnea-hypopnea index (mild-moderate-severe sleep apnea and control group).
