Bilateral external oblique intercostal plane block (EOIPB) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To measure tramadol intake in the first 24 hours post-surgery. In addition, pain scores and quality of recovery were evaluated as secondary outcomes.

Methods: A total of 80 adult patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into 2 groups (with and without external oblique intercostal plane block [EOIPB]).

The effects of dexamethasone added to ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve (IIN/IHN) block on rebound pain in inguinal hernia surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of IV dexamethasone added to one single injection Ilioinguinal/Iliohypogastric Nerve (IIN/IHN) block on tramadol consumption and Modified Rebound Pain Score (MRPS) in the first postoperative 24 h in inguinal hernia surgery.

Methods: Five mg IV dexamethasone as an analgesic adjunct in the multimodal analgesia was administered to the patients who were scheduled for Inguinal Hernia Surgery and randomized to Group Dex and normal saline was administered to the patients who were randomized to the Control Group in addition to IIN/IHN Block. Postoperative tramadol consumption, Modified Rebound Pain Score (MRPS), the incidence of Rebound Pain, Rebound Pain time, postoperative 48-h opioid consumption, Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores, Quality of Recovery Score (QoR-15), Sleep Quality, and adverse events were evaluated in the patients.

Effect of Vitamin D on YKL-40: Rat Hypercholesterolemia Model.

Background And Objectives: YKL-40 is considered to be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study, the effect of serum 25(OH) vitamin D [25(OH)VitD] differences between groups on YKL-40 was evaluated on a hypercholesterolemia rat model.

Methods: Thirty-two male rats (wistar albino) were equally divided into 4 groups.

Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Children and Adolescents with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Objective: The aim of this case-controlled study is to evaluate chronic inflammation, subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease risk in children and adolescents with ADHD.

Methods: A total of 51 medication-free children and adolescents with ADHD and 51 healthy controls were included in this study. K-SADS-PL was used to determine the diagnosis of ADHD and other psychiatric disorders.

The clinical, functional, and radiological features of hand osteoarthritis: TLAR-osteoarthritis multi-center cohort study.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the clinical, functional, and radiological features of hand osteoarthritis (OA) and to examine their relationships in different geographic samples of the Turkish population.

Patients And Methods: Between April 2017 and January 2019, a total of 520 patients (49 males, 471 females; mean age: 63.6±9.

Histopathological Changes in Liver and Heart Tissue Associated with Experimental Ultraviolet Radiation A and B Exposure on Wistar Albino Rats.

This study aims to evaluate the influences of ultraviolet radiation A and B (UVA + B) exposure on the liver and heart organs of albino rats. Female Wistar Albino rats, whose hair of the dorsal skin was shaved, were exposed to a combined UVA + B radiation for 2 h/day, for 4 weeks in order to be compared with the control group. Histopathological findings in vital organs (liver and heart) were evaluated.
