Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy has gained increasing popularity compared to open radical prostatectomy with its advantages such as low blood loss, reduced blood transfusion rate, low complication rate, and shortened hospital stay. Since robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy should be performed in the limited retroperitoneal area, insufflation of the abdomen with carbon dioxide (CO2) (pneumoperitoneum) and steep Trendelenburg position are required to provide better surgical vision. Low-flow anesthesia warms and moistens the inhaled gases, creating a more physiological breathing atmosphere during anesthesia. In addition, it provides cost advantage by reducing inhalation agent consumption and reduces atmospheric pollution. Studies show that long-term minimal flow anesthesia is safe and advantageous for non-laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study is to compare low-flow (1L/min) with normal flow (3lt/min) desflurane anesthesia in terms of hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, inhalation agent consumption and soda lime consumption for robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy surgery. The secondary aim of the study is to compare the effects of low-flow and normal-flow anesthesia in the steep trendelenburg position (45°) used for robotically assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
Chronic urticaria is a condition that impairs the patient's quality of life, interferes with routine daily activities, and is often associated with anxiety. It constitutes a significant burden associated with psychiatric comorbidities such as Fundamentals of Positive Psychotherapy (PPT) The aim is to help the individual to develop his/her core capacities and in his/her daily life in four areas of life (body, success, relationships and the future) to help them achieve balance. In patients with chronic urticaria, especially problems with the body occur and this can affect other areas of life. Literature When examined, it is seen that psychological interventions in chronic urticaria are very few and in ancient times. In addition, it is recommended that psychological interventions based on conversation should be performed with these patients. PPT, conversational and balancing the dimensions of "body, achievement, relationships and future" It is a working approach. Body and future in the disease process of chronic urticaria patients Considering that there is a balance change in the dimensions of the PPT, it will contribute to the literature. is considered. Intervention Group Positive psychotherapy counseling sessions, specialist psychiatry who completed positive psychotherapy training will be done by the nurse. Contact information of the volunteers will be obtained at the outpatient clinic and individuals will be randomized. will be divided into intervention and control groups.

After the study is completed, individuals in the control group can also request it. counseling will be provided.
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, neurodegenerative disorder characterized with the loss of dopamine-producing neurons. This loss is likely to be related with several environmental and genetic factors. One of the most important factor that is responsible for the initation and progression of the disease is oxidative stress. Exercise training, especially aerobic training, can change the levels of oxidative markers because exercise can lead to decrease oxidative stress in patients with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, this study aims to investigate (1) the effect of aerobic training on total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, glutathione, oxidative glutathione, and zonulin levels, (2) the relationship between the change of motor symptoms and disease severity and the change of total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, glutathione, oxidative glutathione, and zonulin levels.
Muscle strength and muscle volume decrease rapidly with the immobilization process after sports-related injury and surgery. Depending on the decrease in muscle strength and muscle volume, functional performance also deteriorates, and this has been demonstrated by studies in the literature. Despite rehabilitation programs after anterior cruciate ligament surgery, muscle weakness persists for a long time and this affects knee functions. As a result, the time to return to sports is delayed or the activity level decreases. In recent studies, cross training is used to gain strength. Cross training is the increase in strength in the untrained leg after unilateral strengthening of the untrained leg. Another popular application for strength gain is exercise training with blood flow restriction. Blood flow restriction exercise training is an exercise protocol based on external pressure restriction of blood flow through the cuff from the proximal of the target muscle. It has been shown that this training prevents reduction of muscle volume in the early postoperative period and increases muscle strength. In the literature, cross-training and blood flow-restricted training are applied separately for muscle strength development after ACL reconstruction. However, no study investigating the effect of the combined application of these two approaches on muscle strength during ACL rehabilitation has been found. It is thought that with the combined application of these approaches, their effects on muscle strength development will increase, and accordingly, the functional results of individuals will be positively affected. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of cross training applied with and without blood flow restriction on muscle strength and function for 8 weeks starting from the 4th week after anterior cruciate ligament surgery. Participants will be included in the training for a total of 16 sessions, 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Pain, muscle strength, muscle thickness, knee functions will be evaluated before and after the training.
The research was designed as a randomized controlled trial model to examine the effects of affirmation and infant massage taught to the parents of 0-6 month-old infants registered in a Family Health Center and a Private Medical Center in Istanbul, on the sleep quality of their infants and mother-father-infant attachment. The research will be carried out between August and October 2022 by including the parents of the babies in the scope of the study. The Mother-Father and Infant Information Form and the Extended Infant Short Sleep Questionnaire, the Maternal Attachment Scale, and the Father-Infant Attachment Scale will be used to collect the data.
The research will be carried out in the Cardio Vascular Surgery (CVS) Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Ankara Training and Research Hospital (TRH) . Patients will be divided into two Experimental (n=24) and control (n=24) groups. Simple randomization method will be used in the study, provided that there are equal numbers of male and female patients in the experimental and control groups, regardless of the age of the patients. Patients in the experimental group will use a digital window. The "Patient Information Form","Richard-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire_RCSQ " and " Day and Night Perception Form" will be used in the data collection phase. Ethics committee approval was received from Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University Ethics Committee in order to conduct the study.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of multidimensional breathing exercises and fascial release techniques performed in addition to the conventional treatment program on the treatment of lymphatic fluid in women with lower extremity lymphedema due to gynecological cancer treatment, and the reflection of these practices on the functional level, sleep and quality of life.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), triggered by myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury, is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, and there is a tendency for its incidence to increase at younger ages. One of the most worrisome complications of primary percutaneous surgery is contrast-induced nephropathy, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in myocardial infarction after coronary interventions. In many studies, inflammatory markers, which are thought to give an idea about the development of contrast-related nephropathy, have been examined. The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a master regulator of cytoprotective protein expression driven by antioxidant response agents (AREs) and plays a decisive role in the regulation of oxidative defense and redox homeostasis in cells. There are studies showing the role of Nrf2 in the pathogenesis of kidney damage in some studies. Studies on the effect of Nrf2 level on contrast media nephropathy in patients with contrast media nephropathy (CIN) are limited in the literature. This study also aimed to form a basis for the literature, which is a small number of studies, in later studies.
