Reliability of low-flow anesthesia procedures in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Their effects on our costs and ecological balance.
The many advantages of low-flow anesthesia are now recognized. Apart from its positive effects on the patient, it is clear that it is a method that all anesthetists should prefer with its positive effects on the ecological balance. ⋯ In our study, we safely applied low-flow anesthesia to our patients with advanced monitoring. We believe that low-flow anesthesia is advantageous in terms of both patients' health, ecological balance, and cost.

Pediatric celiac disease (CeD) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have well established effects on eye health but comorbid effect is not known. ⋯ The higher IOP and OPA values of the children with T1DM and CeD were considered to be the result of the microvascular pathologies in T1DM and increased inflammation associated with CeD. High IOP and OPA values can lead to damage in the eye as intraocular blood flow and choroidal perfusion are affected. In order to prevent these eye problems, measurement of IOP and OPA should be done in children with diagnosis of T1DM and CeD and also follow up studies needed.

The world population is aging with the prolongation of the expected life expectancy. With the increase in the elderly population in the World, successful aging and leisure activities gained importance. Leisure activities contribute to successful aging by supporting an active lifestyle. ⋯ Although leisure activities, effective in successful aging, have a significant effect on the happiness, life satisfaction, depression, and stress levels of older adults, they have no significant effect on the levels of anxiety and mental well-being. To maintain the positive effects of leisure activities, which are effective on success and aging in older adults, these activities can be included in the programs of institutions where people of this age group live.

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the treatment of various ailments globally has called for more research. ⋯ This study showed that the prevalent of CAM usage in ORL is quite low in our setting, which represent about one-fifth of the respondents. Although respondents claimed that the system was efficacious, awareness to its usage was very low and there was no evidence to prove that the diagnosis were known before using CAM. The use of Orthodox method in treating Otorhinolaryngological ailments is still the best. We therefore recommend empirical studies on CAM in future.
