Introduction: Patients do not feel competent in managing their post-heart surgery processes. They need access to the right information to manage their symptoms. A mobile app is the right tool for this process, with its accessibility and reminder features at any time. We investigated the effects of 4-week mobile app training on respiratory functions and maintenance of drug compliance in patients after heart surgery. Material and methods: This paper reported the findings of an experimental study, which recruited a total of 120 participants of whom all underwent heart surgery. The following outcomes were measured: TriFlo results, the Morisky Questionnaire - self-reported measure of adherence, and results of the Symptom Interpretation Questionnaire. Results: All groups showed a significant difference in Symptom Interpretation Scale subscales after using the mobile app. When the results of the research are evaluated, it can be said that there is a need for nurses to produce new-generation technological equipment to meet the needs of new products to be used in the field of health. Conclusions: Individuals can solve their post-operative symptom management problems with a mobile app. The use of a mobile app positively contributes to the management of the 2 most common symptoms after heart surgery. Mobile apps are used in many disease processes in the world. The results of these studies contribute to the limited information presenting results regarding drug compliance and lung capacity in patients with a bypass between mobile apps.

Introduction: Pain and falling are substantial components of older adults' life. Despite the presence of several plausible mechanisms for pain to contribute to falling, very few studies have investigated this relationship in older adults. This study was designed to determine the relationship between falls associated and postoperative pain in surgical patients aged over 65 years. Material and methods: This cross sectional and descriptive study was conducted at a public hospital between January and June, 2018. The study population consisted of postoperative patients aged 65 years and over, hospitalised in the Urology, General Surgery, and Orthopaedic clinics between the study dates. After demographic knowledge was collected, the Itaki Fall Risk Scale and Visual Analogue Scale were used for the risk of falling and pain level assessments, respectively. Results: The mean age of the participants was 72.14 +/- 8.85 years. A statistically significant relationship was observed between pain levels and the risk of falling in the postoperative period (rho = 0.000). The risk of falling increased in line with pain levels. Patients who were single (rho = 0.01), who had no social security (rho = 0.002), and with chronic disease had a significantly higher risk of falling (rho = 0.003). Conclusions: Pain in older adults may increase the risk of falling after surgery. In clinical and academic studies, it is recommended that pain assessments be included in older adults for the risk of postoperative fall.

Protein tyrosine phosphatases regulate physiological processes including growth, differentiation, metabolism and the cell cycle. Together with tyrosine kinases, they control the phosphorylation state of tyrosine residues of signaling proteins. An increased level of protein phosphorylation results in abnormal proliferation and many cancer types show a mutation or deletion of a protein tyrosine phosphatase gene. In this study we evaluated the protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in acute leukemia patients. Tyrosine phosphatase activity in bone marrow mononuclear cells of acute leukemia patients was measured using a tyrosine phosphatase assay system kit and compared with a control group. We found that tyrosine phosphatase activity in acute leukemia patients was high compared to the controls. According to subgroups of acute leukemia, tyrosine phosphatase activity in the AML-M2 subgroup was high compared to the controls. The effect of increased level of protein tyrosine phosphatase activity on leukemogenesis needs further evaluation. Studies in a large group of patients are needed to emphasize the importance of tyrosine phosphatase activity in acute leukemia patients.
