Postoperative pain is common after spinal surgeries, including lumbar disc surgery. Surgical anesthesia and perioperative analgesic regimen are aimed at complete intraoperative amnesia, deep analgesia, effective control of autonomic responses and rapid discharge from the hospital. Although there are many studies on the use of these techniques for postoperative analgesia, the number of data comparing these techniques that can be used in meta-analyses is low. In our study, investigators aimed to compare the effects of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine accompanied by ESP block, which are different multimodal analgesia methods, on pain.

Mandalas can contribute to comfort by promoting inner peace, focusing attention, and encouraging creative expression. This study aims to investigate the impact of mandala art therapy on anxiety and comfort levels in kidney transplant recipients. To achieve this goal, a mixed-methods study using a randomized controlled and nested experimental design is planned. The results of this study will provide valuable insights to healthcare providers by elucidating the impact of mandala art therapy on comfort and anxiety levels in living kidney transplant recipients. This information may guide healthcare professionals in enhancing kidney transplant recipients' psychological and emotional well-being, reducing stress, and promoting higher levels of comfort through mandala art therapy. H0a: There is no effect of Mandala Art Therapy on the perceived anxiety level in living kidney transplant recipients.

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are considered essential and the primary vascular access for end-stage renal disease patients to receive hemodialysis (HD) treatment. The maturation failure rate of AVFs is approximately 23%. The aim of our study is to compare intraoperative fistula flow and measurements of vascular structures' diameters with postoperative fistula maturation, following the completion of the fistula operation, to reveal the relationship between them. Providing insights into the need for intraoperative intervention and/or postoperative fistula management based on these measurements is intended to contribute to the literature by offering predictions and perspectives.
It is known that maintaining and maintaining normal body temperature in women after cesarean section facilitates the mother's adaptation to the postpartum period.
