It was determined that patients undergoing excisional breast biopsy had significant information and spiritual needs and experienced a fear of having cancer, losing their breasts and dying in surgery. Relevance to clinical practice. Although there are many studies about breast cancer and day surgery patients' experiences in the literature, no studies were found about patients' experiences with day surgery excisional breast biopsy procedures. The results provide a possible framework for patient care.
It is suggested that increased compliance to infection control guidelines for surgical infections in OTs would facilitate providing best practice and evidence-based care. There is a need for further research to determine why there is a difference between what is practiced and what guidelines indicate should be practiced.
In patients who did not receive 100% oxygen before and after closed suctioning, no significant falls in partial oxygen pressure and oxygen saturation were seen. A small number of patients were hypoxaemic before suctioning, and not [corrected] giving 100% oxygen might be deleterious for this category.
The aim of this study is to identify the body image and personality traits of male-to-female transsexual and homosexual persons in Turkey: 36 homosexuals and 52 male-to-female transsexuals were evaluated. According to the Body Cathexis Scale (Secord & Jourard, 1953) transsexuals
compared with controls are statistically more satisfied with their waist, height, eyes, hips, legs, body posture and weight; dissatisfied with their body hair distribution, shoulder width and genitals. Homosexuals compared with controls are statistically more satisfied in height, sharpness
of senses, hips, legs, sexual activity and body posture; dissatisfied in body hair distribution and genitals. It may be interpreted that transsexuals are identified with female body. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1978) revealed that transsexual participants
have statistically higher mean neuroticism (N) scores than do controls.
Neurocognitive testing is feasible in this setting. Performance worsens with increasing ischemia time and is structurally associated with alterations in the caudate nucleus and the putamen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
