Back ground: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting is a surgery to replace blocked arteries with healthy blood vessels and failure to fully evacuate a hemothorax post coronary artery bypass graft can lead to development of fibrothorax. Fibrothorax restricts the lung, and can begin as early as 1-2 weeks after the surgical procedure. Patients with fibrothorax report initial dyspnea. For mechanically ventilated patients, progressive difficulty with adequate ventilation due to restrictive lung mechanics can be seen.

Background: The aeLASTIC training method is a functional training in orthostatic position. It was first described in 2016 as a mechanical application of the Lyapunov Stability (LME) law. The aeLASTIC tool allows working on muscle balance to improve postural balance. Aim of the Study: The application of aeLASTIC training can introduce a proprioception to maintain the body in a steady posture after using this training in a 20-minute workout twice a week for two weeks.

Covid-19 is a disease that affects the whole world and often causes the death of hundreds of thousands of people with lung involvement. In recent years, it is an unprecedented reason for occupancy in hospital wards and intensive care units. In this study, it was aimed to compare the lung dynamics, prognosis, and mortality of vaccinated and unvaccinated patients in the intensive care unit. Patients hospitalized in Intensive Care Units between August 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021 were retrospectively examined.

Background: Pressure ulcers are a potential problem in intensive care patients, their prevention and treatment is a major issue in care. Pressure ulcers are considered to be a largely preventable problem, and yet despite extensive training and the expenditure of a large amount of resources, they persist. Objective: This study was designed to investigate the difference in the effect between negative pressure therapy and low level laser therapy on Pressure ulcers healing.
