Comparison of three techniques in bladder stone surgery: Which technique is more effective and safe?
In our study, we aimed to compare the success and complication rates of percutaneous cystolithotripsy (PCCL), transurethral cystolithotripsy (TUCL), and Ho: YAG laser lithotripsy in the surgery of bladder stones that occurred due to various reasons. ⋯ Although all three methods were quite successful in bladder stone surgery, average cystolithotripsy times were significantly low in the PCCL technique. Thinking that the most common cause of bladder stone is BPH, it is stated that the suprapubic inserted tube ease the bladder drainage during transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P). In this way, the duration of the most common accompanying surgeries is shortened and performed more safely.

Epidural fibrosis is one of the problems that can be seen after spinal surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible preventive role of medical ozone (O) treatment on epidural fibrosis. ⋯ Histological results suggest that medical O treatment after L can be used as an alternative method to prevent epidural fibrosis. Further studies with wide cohorts and interval measures are required to detail the effects of doses.

Heart rate (HR) changes associated with seizures are promising biomarkers in epilepsy. ⋯ Our study supports previous studies showing the presence of increased peri-ictal HR and also provides new insights by comparing focal and generalized motor seizures. We think that our findings may contribute to the development of early warning signs in epilepsy patients.

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.

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.
