Prolonged sedentary behavior is linked to poorer metabolic health, yet its effect on cognitive load and brain function remains unclear. Evidence indicates that "mentally active" sedentary tasks (e.g., reading) may support cognition, whereas "mentally passive" tasks (e.g., scrolli…

The aim of this research project is to anonymously survey pregnant patients before the anaesthesiological consultation about their prior knowledge of planned neuroaxial procedures in the context of childbirth by conducting an online survey and to evaluate the sources of that info…

The goal of this observational study is to compare change-of-direction (COD) and reactive agility (RA) performance between football players with and without genu varum and to examine whether lower-limb alignment is associated with these performance measures. The main questions i…

Preoperative evaluation is essential for identifying patient-related risks before elective surgery and for planning safe anesthesia management. Traditionally, this evaluation is performed by anesthesiologists based on clinical history, physical examination, comorbidities, and lab…
