Hyomental distance measured ultrasonography versus weight-based criteria for laryngeal mask size selection in children: a randomized controlled trial Open
Background Typically, when choosing a size for a child’s laryngeal mask airway (LMA), weight is considered; however, this approach has limitations. This study evaluated the efficacy of ultrasonography (US) measured hyomental distance (HMD)…

Erector spinae plane block versus transversus abdominis plane block for analgesia after cesarean section: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
The ESP block offers superior pain relief, reduces opioid use, and enhances satisfaction compared to the TAP block in cesarean sections. These findings suggest that the implementation of the ESP block in postoperative analgesia protocols c…

Role of Serum Cystatin C as a Diagnostic Tool for Renal Function in Cirrhotic Patients Open
Background: Assessment of cystatin C levels could be valuable in the early detection of renal dysfunction because they increase faster than the creatinine levels as the GFR decreases. The aim of this work was to evaluate serum cystatin C a…
