Background Postoperative ileus (POI) is an inevitable complication after abdominal surgery, which reflects a deceleration or complete cessation of bowel movements (1). Patients may present with symptoms such as abdominal pain and distension, vomiting, anal defecation, and defecation disorders. Research shows that POI occurring within 3 days for laparoscopic surgery or occurring within 5 days for open surgery is considered physiological; however, if it continues beyond these time frames, it can be considered pathological (2). POI is closely linked with negative factors, including an extended hospital stay, a higher likelihood of hospital-acquired infections or venous thromboembolism, and an increased rate…

Practices such as yoga, mindfulness, meditation and breathwork are growing in popularity due to their potential to improve health and well-being. While the effects of these practices are mostly positive and sometimes transformative, they are known to involve shifts in consciousness that can sometimes be difficult. A new study by a team that includes researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (a founding member of the Massachusetts General Brigham Health System) finds that altered states of consciousness associated with meditation practices are far more common than expected. While many reported positive outcomes from these experiences, sometimes even considered transformative, for a significant…

They do Pilates, take care of their bodies and skin, and although they prefer casual clothing, they always wear shades of pale pink. I drink matcha and smoothies and eat a balanced diet.

I’m so sleepy.” Is this what you think of when someone mentions hypnosis? Me too, until recently. Last week I met with a friend and new client to discuss building a website.
