Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of Kinesio Taping on acute pain, breastfeeding behavior and comfort level in women with cesarean section: A randomized controlled trial.
Kinesio taping is used to provide rehabilitation after surgical operations. ⋯ In the study, it has been shown that KT has important effects on pain management, breastfeeding success, and increasing comfort level in women with cesarean section compared to the control group and the initial period, and can be used safely.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effectiveness of cold application and lavender oil on pain during drain removal: A randomized clinical trial.
Analgesics are frequently used to prevent acute pain while removing the drain. Additional non-pharmacological methods have come to the agenda as a result of the fact that the pain cannot be fully controlled, and the pharmacological treatment response is variable. Our research was intended to determine the effectiveness of lavender aromatherapy and cold application in controlling pain during drain removal procedure. ⋯ According to the study, it was found that applying lavender and cold application to the patients before the drainage procedure was effective in controlling pain.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) compared with transcanalicular laser DCR (TL-DCR). ⋯ EDCR and TL-DCR without silicone stent have offered a high success rate in the long term. Furthermore, endonasal procedures have less surgery time and leave no scar. We observed that EDCR and TL-DCR are favorable methods in cases of nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Chest injury is one of the most common types of trauma-related injuries accounting for about 10% of trauma admissions in emergency services. The injuries may be immediate, life-threatening, or potentially life-threatening based on diagnosis after initial assessment. This study is intended to analyze the pattern of diagnosis found in chest-injured patients in a trauma center of a developing country. ⋯ Chest wall soft tissue injuries constitute a large proportion of chest injuries seen in our setting. Despite its relatively low importance in the medical literature, it should be given attention in resource-poor settings in order to minimize missed significant injuries in the absence of diagnostic facilities. Therefore, high index of suspicion and low threshold for observation should be practiced in this group of patients.

Human teeth and nails have demonstrated similar factors genetically, embryologically, and morphologically. The fingernail form may be used as a post-extraction guide for selecting the tooth form. ⋯ A definite correlation exists between maxillary central incisor tooth form and fingernail form. The fingernail form may be used as a post-extraction guide for selecting the maxillary central incisor tooth form in the Saudi Arabian population.
