Cesarean section (CS) is considered as a significant surgical intervention necessitating a high level of professional skill and a choice between general anesthesia (GA) and spinal anesthesia (SA). Anesthesia type can significantly influence postoperative recovery, patient satisfaction, and, ultimately, the quality of life. This article aims to compare the impacts of GA and SA on the quality of life among women who undergo elective C-sections. This study was carried comparatively on 200 Kurdish pregnant women who undergoing to have a cesarean section with a spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia preference to mothers or physician were included in a purposive sample was carried out in the operating theatre at Maternity Teaching Hospital from 25th January, 2022 to 18th December, 2022. The EuroQoL-5 Dimensions-3 Levels (EQ-5D-3L) self-administered questionnaire was used by the participants to measure their health at four different time points; two hours prior to cesarean birth, 24 hours following the procedure, one week, and one month thereafter. At 24 hours, spinal anesthesia resulted in significantly better outcomes for mobility (70% vs. 44% no problems), self-care (8% vs. 11% no issues), and pain (83% vs. 75% moderate pain) (p<0.05). After one week, the advantages of spinal anesthesia remained for self-care (78% vs. 44% no problems) and anxiety/depression (66% vs 47% not anxious) (p<0.05). After one month post-delivery, health outcomes were similar between anesthesia methods. The study found that spinal anesthesia offers better health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes than general anesthesia for cesarean delivery. As a result, spinal anesthesia is commonly preferred to as the anesthesia technique for cesarean delivery in many countries.

The meaning of “Quality of Life” (QoL) varies from person to person. A person’s perception of the term depends on the situation. This research study makes an attempt to analyse various facets of QoL with respect to blood cancer victims within the investor community in the area of study. The research includes comprehending the QoL influence on blood cancer patients in the state of Odisha, India, to decode the opinion differences among people of various age categories. As declared by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of Odisha, an average of 50,000 cancer patients is identified resulting in 25,000 deaths in the state every year. This is more than other states with the same population size in the country. Data collection and analysis was conducted by employing three variables; namely, physical health, mental health, and socio-economic status on blood cancer patients to enhance their QoL. Findings of the study revealed the majority of participants believed weakness, insomnia, pain, and psychological disorders were the prominent challenges blood cancer victims had to overcome. Rural areas of Odisha lack healthcare infrastructure when compared to the urban areas. Moreover, socially and financially weaker respondents are more optimistic regarding treatment and life than their richer counterparts.

Since neuropathy caused by chemotherapy is associated with a very high prevalence in the elderly and this issue can have adverse effects on the QoL of these people, and considering that there are different results regarding the extent of the effects of neuropathy caused by chemotherapy There is an effect on the QoL of the elderly. In this multifaceted systematic review, we decided to obtain the relationship between the QoL in the elderly with neuropathy caused by chemotherapy in cancer patients and reach a final conclusion.

The current study was a multifaceted systematic review; This study was conducted during the last quarter of 2022 in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences; All electronic databases that published articles related to cancer, QoL, neuropathy, chemotherapy and the elderly were searched for the purposes of this research.

The QoL of the elderly had a statistically significant relationship with gender and co-morbidities, so that the QoL score in men and also the elderly without co-morbidities was significantly higher than other elderly; Also, the average QoL in the elderly with a disease duration of less than one year was significantly higher than that of the elderly with a disease duration of more than 5 years.

This study showed that the QoL in a high percentage of elderly people with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy was favorable, which can be related to many factors. Considering that the highest percentage of the research units were young elderly people (age between 60 and 74 years old) and married people who have higher functional capacities and physical abilities than old or very old elderly people and probably benefit from more family and social support. They are far from the adverse psychological consequences that are reported in research for single and single elderly people.

Different observational studies and randomized trials attempted to show advantages as well as limitations of surgical approaches for improvement in patients’ quality of life (QOL) suffering hyperthyroidism caused by the Graves´ disease (GD). We aimed to systematically examine the impact of surgery (thyroidectomy) on different components of QOL in patients with GD. Two reviewers began to deeply search the various databases of article published including Medline, Web of knowledge, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in the Cochrane Library for all eligible studies in accordance with the considered keywords. In final, seven articles were eligible for the final analysis that published between 2012 and 2019. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software was employed for analysis. Assessing the level of quality of life using SF-36 tool showed significantly increase in both physical component score (weighted mean differences of 0.428, p <0.001) and psychological component score (weighted mean differences of 0.277, p <0.001) postoperatively compared with the baseline values. The assessment of QOL using the Thy PRO questionnaire also showed significantly improvement in total QOL score after surgery compared with before that (weighted mean differences of -1.466, p <0.001). We revealed considerably improving both physical and mental aspects of QOL following surgery in Graves’ disease.
