BACKGROUND: Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine that belongs to the first generation of H1 Antihistamines and used in medicine for a variety of purposes. It was introduced into the field of anesthesia for a variety of reasons, including its sedative, antiemetic and anti-allergic properties. Therefore, it's critical to understand how hydroxyzine premedication affects hemodynamic changes in individuals, particularly in younger ones undergoing surgery OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to identify the impact of administering hydroxyzine orally before surgery on hemodynamics prior to inductio

Background and Objectives: The incidence of proximal femoral fractures (PFFs) is rising, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Regional anesthesia (RA)’s benefits include the avoidance of intubation and mechanical ventilation, decreased blood loss, and improved analgesia. General anesthesia (GA) offers improved hemodynamic stability. This study examines the in-hospital post-surgical morbidity and mortality seen in PFFs in a cohort of the elderly undergoing GA or RA. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 319 PFF patients older than 65 years over a single year. Re

Cyberloafing is the use of (e.g. smartphones, tablets, laptops, and the Internet) for purposes other than work related reasons during work hours. Although cyberloafing in the workplace has been widely investigated, there is relatively a small number of studies on cyberloafing behaviors in educational settings, which refer to students' tendencies to use technology for non-class-related purposes during lectures. The goal of the current study is to determine how frequently and for what purposes speech and language therapy (SLT) students at Biruni University engage in cyberloafing during lectures.

The acute form of unexpected drop in platelet count in children calls for treatment with medications such as corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), and Rho(D) immunoglobulin (anti-DIG). Most of the previous studies have accordingly compared short-term therapeutic outcomes of steroids with those of IVIg. In some cases, IVIg has led to better results. However, there are few studies on the long-term treatment effects of both medicine categories. Ob
