This study aims to understand how weight loss surgery changes the levels of amino acids in the blood. Researchers will compare blood samples from 50 people having surgery with 50 healthy people over three months. The goal is to learn more about the body's metabolism after this ty…

This study looked at whether the timing of a specific pain-blocking injection (Erector Spinae Plane block) affects heart electrical patterns in people having gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers compared giving the block before surgery, after surgery, or not at all. They meas…

This study compared two common anesthesia gases (sevoflurane and desflurane) used at low flow rates during ear, nose, and throat surgeries. Researchers monitored 40 healthy adult patients' heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and recovery times. The goal was to see if one g…
