Purpose: This research was completed to determine the effect of a musical toy (xylophone) on pain and fear in children and parental satisfaction during peripheral venous access in children.
Design And Methods: This research was completed as a randomized controlled trial study. The sample for the research comprised 70 children (control: 35, experiment: 35) aged 3-6 years with peripheral venous access who were admitted to the Pediatric ward and their parents abiding with case selection criteria.
Results: The mean Children's Emotional Manifestation Scale score for children in the experiment group was found to be statistically significantly lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). Children in the experiment group had statistically significantly different mean Children's Fear Scale scores, which were found to be low (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the pain scores of the experimental and control groups (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference present for patient cooperation with the nurse in the experiment group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Though the use of a musical toy during the peripheral venous access procedure had positive impacts on fear and emotional symptoms in the child, it did not appear to have any effect on the child's pain level or parental satisfaction.
Practice Implications: The use of a xylophone during painful procedures performed on children is recommended in terms of reducing the negative impact of the procedure on children by ensuring the child and parent focus on each other during the procedure and the parent contributes to care.

Chronic liver diseases, including cirrhosis and liver failure, remain formidable challenges due to their complex progression and limited therapeutic options. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has emerged as a game-changing approach, leveraging its potent immunomodulatory, anti-fibrotic, and regenerative capabilities, along with the ability to transdifferentiate into hepatocytes. This review delves into the latest advances in MSC-based treatments for chronic and end-stage liver diseases, as highlighted in current clinical trials.

Polymicrobial biofilm infections, especially associated with medical devices such as peripheral venous catheters, are challenging in clinical settings for treatment and management. In this study, we examined the mixed biofilm formed by Candida glabrata and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which were co-isolated from the same peripheral venous catheter. Our results revealed that C.

Age-related physiological changes affect various aspects of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) cannulation. However, the characteristics of PIVCs, especially in older patients, have been poorly investigated. In the current cross-sectional observational study, PIVC sizes, PIVC sites, the number of attempts until successful insertion, and the degree of venodilation upon insertion among hospital inpatients aged ≥65 years were investigated, along with measurements of the vessel diameter and depth using ultrasound.

Extravasation injuries are prevalent in pediatric hospitals and often result in tissue damage and extended hospital stays. However, limited data exist regarding risk factors for extravasation in children. This study aimed to identify these risk factors in pediatric patients receiving intravenous (IV) therapy.
