BACKGROUND
Neuropathic pain, including paresthesia/dysesthesia in the lower extremities, always develops and remains for at least one month, to variable degrees, after percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD). The recently discovered dual analgesic mechanisms of action, similar to those of
Preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of granisetron in preventing emesis induced by antineoplastic chemotherapy. This comparative study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of granisetron (40 micrograms/kg) and granisetron plus methylprednisolone
Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) generates an uncomfortable postoperative period accompanied by pain, edema, and paresthesia. There are few studies on the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) after SARME and it was not possible to find studies on the efficacy of Control of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and nausea/vomiting has enabled the development of very high-dose cisplatin regimens (monthly total dose, 200 mg/m2). Neurotoxicity is now recognized to be the dose-limiting toxicity of these regimens. However, during a pilot study involving 5 mg/m2
A 22-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with persistent nausea and no apparent cause. There was no preceding infection. The patient lost consciousness for several seconds. Based on an electrocardiographic diagnosis of paroxysmal sinus arrest (PSA), a temporary pacemaker was implanted. She
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of iron protein succinylate in the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy. One hundred and thirty anemic pregnant women were studied. Inclusion criteria were iron-deficiency type of anemia, and hemoglobin levels below of
OBJECTIVE
The clinical experience with sodium oxybate (Xyrem) in patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy is still limited, especially in children, elderly patients, and patients with concomitant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In this report, we describe 4 patients with narcolepsy and refractory cataplexy
We report a case of POEMS syndrome in a 20-year-old patient diagnosed after visiting an eye clinic with a chief complaint of reduced visual acuity. A male university student aged 20 years was referred to our department complaining of blurred vision in both eyes that had persisted for 1 month. He
We used oral cyclosporine-A (CyA) (5 mg/kg/day) initially in a double blind study for 6 mos. 10 patients received CyA and 10 placebo. At the end of this study it was observed that CyA improved subjective xerostomia, while subjective xerophthalmia, parotid gland enlargement, Schirmer-I-test and
Adverse symptoms of immunosuppressants (ASI) impact quality of life (QOL) in solid organ transplant recipients; however, standardized approaches for active ASI surveillance and intervention are lacking. While management is highly clinician dependent, clinician views remain largely unexplored. We
Scorpion envenomations are a major public health problem in Brazil, and most medically important cases are attributable to the Tityus genus. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical and epidemiological aspects of a series of 151 cases of confirmed scorpion stings, which were treated
A 32 year old US Naval aerospace physiologist with dive, jump and flight qualifications presented to a US Navy hyperbaric medicine department complaining of nausea, unsteadiness and left hand and forearm paresthesia that began almost immediately after completing a 28ft/ 40min recreational dive.
A 19-year-old male presented with intraventricular hemorrhage manifesting as sudden onset of headache. Angiography showed mild stenotic changes in the distal internal carotid artery and proximal anterior cerebral artery only on the right. The anterior choroidal artery and lenticulostriate arteries
Radiological investigations contribute little in differentiating the problems of patients with whiplash injuries. Nevertheless the more prolonged cases of whiplash injuries must not be attributed to preexisting degenerative disease, despite radiologically-proven medicolegal opinion. In this study,
Electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring was performed on 291 donors during apheresis. Twenty-one donors (7.2%) had clinical symptoms such as discomfort, nausea, chill, numbness, and paresthesia, and 13 of this group exhibited ECG abnormalities, such as tachycardia, bradycardia, and other abnormal wave
