OBJECTIVE In our study, the effect of intravenous magnesium sulphate in normal and pre-eclamptic patients on spinal anaesthesia produced by bupivacaine was investigated. METHODS Sixty-four pregnant (32 normal and 32 pre-eclamptic) were accepted in this study. Pregnants were divided into four groups as patients given intravenous magnesium sulphate and as control. Spinal anaesthesia was induced...

An agrarian sensorial system based on temperature, moisture, and all solid-state ion-selective potentiometric sensors was developed with the objective of monitoring the behavior of H+ and Ca2+ ions in soil and in real conditions, contributing with a new tool that tries to complement the current precision agriculture technology. The evaluation of the sensorial system to pH monitoring presented a...

The present study was carried out to enhance shelf life of pasteurized cream using Echinophora platyloba essential oil (EEO) and lycopene. For this purpose, two concentrations of EEO (0.10% and 0.50%) and lycopene (20 and 50 ppm) alone and together as combinations were added in pasteurized creams and analyzed for microbial characteristics, sensorial properties and lipid stability during storage...

Delta roboti Mechanical systems that allow a rigid body (called endeffector) to move with respect to a fixed base play a very important role in numerous applications. A rigid body in space can move in various ways, in translation or rotary motion. These are called its degrees of freedom (DOF). The position and the orientation of the end-effector (called its pose) can be described by its general...

This paper considers the problem of multi-robot patrolling along an open polyline, for example a fence, in the presence of an adversary trying to penetrate through the fence. In this case, the robots’ task is to maximize the probability of detecting penetrations. Previous work concerning multi-robot patrol in adversarial environments considered closed polygons. That situation is simpler to eval...

BACKGROUND It was aimed to compare the efficacy and adverse effects of levobupivacaine alone and in combination with fentanyl and sufentanil during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under spinal anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial, 60 patients undergoing elective TURP under spinal anesthesia were randomized into three groups. Ten ...

Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is an important clinic problem. It is assessed that prevalence of chronic pain extends to 30% but it is contended that there are various risk factors. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of chronic pain after hysterectomy, risk factors of chronicity, neuropathic features of pain, and sensorial alterations at surgery area.Between years 2012 and 2015, 16 to 65 age...
