Patients undergoing operative and other invasive procedures are at high risk for developing pressure injuries. This study aimed to determine the incidence of perioperative pressure injuries in patients who underwent procedures lasting two hours or more in Turkey and the risk factors that affect the development of pressure injuries. Data were collected during the perioperative period. The incidence of perioperative pressure injuries was 40.4%. The results of univariate logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative vasopressor use, skin turgor, and diastolic blood pressure less than or equal to 60 mm Hg were significantly related to the development of pressure injuries. There was no significant difference between patients who developed pressure injuries and patients who did not when comparing their preoperative Braden Scale scores. Perioperative nurses should assess each patient for pressure injury risk and perform interventions to prevent pressure injuries during each stage of the patient's perioperative course.

Background: Our aim was to develop a quantitative model for immediately estimating the risk of death and/or brain injury in late-onset sepsis (LOS) in preterm infants, based on objective and measurable data available at the time sepsis is first suspected (i.e., time of blood culture collection).

Purpose: To assess platelet-rich plasma (PRP) changes in platelet and leucocyte count, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentration after bilateral low-load knee extensions under blood flow restriction (BFR).
Methods: The present randomised controlled trial protocol will include two groups: the intervention group, which will undergo bilateral knee extensions under BFR, and the control group, which will perform bilateral knee extensions without BFR. Participants will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio.
Optimizing the hyperbaric chamber pressurization profile during standard hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Middle ear barotrauma (MEBT) is the most common complication in providing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). This study explored the impact of altering the shape of the time-pressure curve with the aim of reducing the occurrence of MEBT and optimizing the HBO experience during the pressurization process. Four distinct mathematically derived protocols-Constant Pressure Difference (CPD), Constant Volume Difference (CVD), Constant Ratio (CR), and Inverted Constant Ratio (ICR)-were investigated using computer simulations on a simple ear model.

Introduction: When administering HBO , pressures can range from 1.4 atmospheres absolute (ATA) to 3 ATA. While different treatment profiles have been proposed, there is a paucity of literature comparing the effectiveness and risk profile associated with different pressures treating the same condition.

The finite-element method (FEM) is a well-established procedure for computing approximate solutions to deterministic engineering problems described by partial differential equations. FEM produces discrete approximations of the solution with a discretisation error that can be quantified with a posteriori error estimates. The practical relevance of error estimates for biomechanics problems, especially for soft tissue where the response is governed by large strains, is rarely addressed.
