position changes are believed to increase the efficacy of phototherapy and this practice is routinely used in all neonatal departments in our country. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of routine turning on the total serum bilirubin (tsb) concentration versus only supine position. in a randomized clinical trial fifty healthy term jaundiced neonates who were admitted to the neona...

Who presents dyspnea and non-productive cough. Chest x-ray shows left pleural effusion. Diagnostic thoracentesis was performed 150 ml fluid extracted. sample sent for analysis, which compatible chylothorax. Significa...

purpose : to determine cyclotorsional eye movement between the upright position and the supine position, in iranian patients with high preoperative astigmatism methods : this prospective cross sectional study contains 102 eyes of 59 patients who were candidates for refractive surgery with technolas 217z100 excimer laser system for correction of high astigmatism. wavefront measurements using zyw...

OBJECTIVES To determine the relationship between the advice mothers receive about infant sleep position and the actual position they place their infants in to sleep and to understand modifiers of that relationship, especially beliefs about infant comfort and safety. DESIGN Cross-sectional, face-to-face interviews. SETTING Women, Infants, and Children centers in the United States from 2006 t...

Purpose: To compare target coverage and organ at risk (OAR) sparing in the supine and prone positions with 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in lowand high-risk prostate radiotherapy cases. Materials and Methods: Using magnetic resonance images of five healthy volunteers, six treatment plans (supine ...

INTRODUCTION Supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has become increasingly widespread during the last 2 decades. The aim of this study was to analyze the transition from prone to mainly supine PCNL in 2 endourologic centers. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data on 214 consecutive supine PCNLs divided into the first (2011-2013) and last (2014-2016) 3 years of this study. ...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Original Investigations PURPOSE: Endotracheal intubation is performed to secure the airway for various elective and emergent indications, including surgeries, respiratory failure, altered mental status1. Currently, supine position most common used endotracheal intubation2. Intubations in non-supine can be necessary many situations, patients with back pain/lesions, inc...

The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that compared to upright posture, slower oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics resulting from exercise at the same relative metabolic load in the supine posture will be associated with increased muscle de-oxygenation and greater myoelectrical activity. Nine subjects completed one 12-min heavy-intensity constant-load exercises in each of the supine ...

BACKGROUND The proper cuff pressure is important to prevent complications related to the endotracheal tube (ETT). We evaluated the change in ETT cuff pressure by changing the position from supine to prone without head movement. METHODS Fifty-five patients were enrolled and scheduled for lumbar spine surgery. Neutral angle, which was the angle on the mandibular angle between the neck midline a...

The effects of supine posture on airway responses to inhaled methacholine and deep inspiration (DI) were studied in seven male volunteers. On a control day, subjects were in a seated position during both methacholine inhalation and lung function measurements. On a second occasion, the whole procedure was repeated with the subjects lying supine for the entire duration of the study. On a third oc...
