The aim of the study is to determine the effect of breathing exercises on patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of their level of anxiety, sleep, and recovery of quality after surgery. A randomized, controlled experimental research model was used in this work. This study was conducted in surgery clinic of a university hospital between December 2020 and May 2021. The research was completed with 58 patients in the experimental group and 57 patients in the control group. The mean Visual Analog Sleep Scale and state anxiety score of the patients in the control group was higher in the morning of the operation and on the 1st, 15th, and 30th days after the operation than that of the experimental group patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( < .05). The correlations between recovery quality, state anxiety, and sleep quality on the first postoperative day were significant at ( < .05) in the opposite direction.

Background: Aerobic exercises (AEs) have gained much interest in managing fibromyalgia (FM). This trial aimed to find out how AEs affect women with FM in terms of lung function, chest expansion, dyspnea, exercise capacity, and quality of life.
Methods: Eighty FM-diagnosed women were allocated randomly into 2 equal-sized groups.

Purpose: To study the effects of breathing exercises on preventing pulmonary complications in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Methods: Observing whether preoperative breathing exercises can reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery; observing whether these exercises can improve postoperative arterial oxygen pressure, oxygen saturation, and the distance walked in a six-minute walk test after surgery; as well as reduce hospital stay duration, lower treatment costs, and improve the quality of life as measured by the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36).
Design: The study population includes patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery under general anesthesia; the research center is Capital Medical University Xuanwu Hospital; the sample size is 120.

Objectives: To determine the effect of actively training the crura of diaphragm which is a part of lower esophageal sphincter using abdominal breathing exercises to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Methodology: With a randomized controlled study design, a total of 22 (11 in each group) clinically diagnosed patients of GERD presenting to the gastroenterology outpatient department at Holy Family Hospital in Pakistan were assessed using GERD related "quality of life index (QoLI)" questionnaire and their on-demand proton pump inhibitors (PPI) usage. Single blinding technique will be used.

One underlying factor is the age-related decline of ovarian reserve (DOR), which can lead to a higher chance of infertility and has no widely accepted treatment currently. Specific supplements and moderate exercise have been shown to improve fertility; however, there is no consensus to date on the type of exercise providing the best results.
