This study aims to:
Assess the effect of virtual reality and modified progressive muscle relaxation distraction techniques on anxiety, attention and getting distracted from the external environment among cardiac care unit patients.
Research hypotheses:
H1: Patients who receive VR intervention have lower Hamilton Anxiety Rating (HAM-A) scores than those who receive modified PMR intervention.
H2: Patients who receive VR intervention exhibit improvement in their physiological parameters than those who receive modified PMR intervention.
H3: Patients who receive VR intervention have lower Attention/Distraction scores than those who receive modified PMR intervention.

Post-surgical delirium in patients undergoing radical cystectomy. Introduction Delirium occurs after major abdominal surgery may reach about 15% of the patients.(1)
Aim The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of delirium after radical cystectomy surgery and the associated risk factors in Alexandria University hospital.
Patients and Methods After approval of local ethical committee and patient consent, the study will be done on patients undergoing radical cystectomy surgery in Alexandria University hospitals from January 5th 2019 till January 4th 2020. The 6-item Cognitive Impairment Test (6CIT) and SPMSQ questionnaire will be used. SPMSQ will be done preoperative and daily for 3 days postoperative, at day 7. Phone call for SPMSQ will be done 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique on anxiety and fatigue among children with leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. The main research hypotheses are;
* Children with leukemia who receive Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique exhibit less anxiety than those who don't receive it.
* Children with leukemia who receive Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique exhibit less fatigue than those who don't receive it.
Researchers will compare Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique with standardized nursing care on a child's anxiety and fatigue.
