Objective: We evaluated the effects of microclimate temperature on subjective and objective sleep quality healthy young adults. For this purpose, we maintained a constant ambient manipulated mattress to change microclimate.Methods: enrolled 34 adults (12 males 22 females; mean age: 24.06±2.70 years). Data from 26 individuals were analyzed (8 18 23.46±2.40 Nocturnal polysomnography (nPSG) was pe...

Background: Aim of the study was to compare suture techniques using interrupted mattress and continuous subcuticular stapler in terms wound closure time; pain stitch line on post-operative day 3, 5 7 patient satisfaction. Methods: All patients fulfilling inclusion criteria, were divided into 3 categories (interrupted mattress, staples) by random selection. Assessment parameters being skin indur...

Hospital environment has factors that promote increased infections caused by microorganisms allowing them to remain viable for long periods on surfaces and fomites. The aim of our study was identify the viability Candida albicans in hospital common with biological fluids presence disinfectants. Four (cotton fabric, synthetic egg crate foam mattress and, ceramic floor) were contaminated a strain...

BACKGROUND The use of posterior capsular plication to decrease capsular volume and address capsular laxity for treatment of posterior instability, multidirectional instability, or as an additional technique in the treatment of anterior instability is common. Multiple different suturing techniques have been described. HYPOTHESIS The simple stitch will have inferior biomechanical properties com...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of the addition of 2 horizontal mattress knots to the medial row of a knotless rotator cuff construct on the biomechanical properties in terms of both cyclic and failure testing parameters in an external rotation model. METHODS In 8 fresh-frozen human cadaveric shoulders, a knotless transosseous repair was performed, whereas in 8 contralateral matched-pair speci...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to clinically assess the impact of a prefabricated implant-retained stent clipped over healing abutments on the preservation of keratinized mucosa around implants after implant surgery, and to compare it with horizontal external mattress sutures. METHODS A total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study. In the test group, a prefabricated implant-retained st...
