Increased hepatic sympathetic activity affects hepatic metabolism and hemodynamics and subsequently causes acute hepatic injury. We examined whether the vesicovascular reflex evoked by bladder overdistension could affect hepatic function, specifically reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced
OBJECTIVE
Posterior urethral valves are the most common cause of partial bladder outlet obstruction in the pediatric population. Posterior urethral valves is a devastating clinical problem that ultimately results in urinary incontinence, neurogenic bladder and renal impairment. Despite improvements
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the tissue distribution of ischaemia in human detrusor in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and to correlate the results with clinical variables, as clinical BOO is a common problem in ageing men and ischaemia might be important in detrusor
OBJECTIVE
Deep intravenous sedation plus local anesthesia for anorectal surgery in the prone position is used frequently at our institution, but is not widely accepted because of concerns regarding airway management. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of
BACKGROUND
A high incidence of bilateral inguinal defects found on laparoscopic evaluation during hernia repair has been reported. However, expectation of bilateral inguinal defects in patients who are diagnosed with pure unilateral hernia might be underestimated. A prospective clinical study was
Twenty patients undergoing elective thoracotomy were randomized into two groups, receiving either lumbar epidural morphine (n = 10) or continuous extrapleural intercostal nerve block (n = 10). Subjective pain relief was assessed on a linear visual analogue scale. Pulmonary function (peak expiratory
BACKGROUND
Nausea and vomiting are frequent adverse effects of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with opioids.
OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to assess the antiemetic effect of midazolam added to fentanyl-ropivacaine PCEA.
METHODS
In a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary thromboembolism is a clinical and pathophysiological condition caused by occlusion of pulmonary arteries by thrombotic embolus. Deep venous thrombosis needn't necessarily be evident. Acute renal insufficiency is a syndrome manifested by rapid decrease or even complete urinary
Objective: To observe the safety and effects of application of analgesic and sedative drugs in severely burned patients during shock stage. Methods: One hundred and eighty patients with severe burns, conforming to the study criteria, were admitted to our unit from August 2014 to August 2016.
OBJECTIVE
This analysis compared opioid-related adverse events (ORADEs) observed with fentanyl iontophoretic transdermal system (ITS) versus morphine intravenous (iv.) patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) in the management of postoperative pain.
METHODS
Safety data from four Phase IIIB randomized,
BACKGROUND
Intrathecal morphine sulfate (ITMS) administration was introduced into clinical practice in 1979. Inadequate information exists delineating ITMS respiratory effects in the dosage range most frequently employed today. This study evaluated 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 mg ITMS in male
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) are among the most frequent medical disorders of elderly men and cause a number of annoying symptoms of the lower urinary tract (LUTS), leading to reduced quality of life and severe complications, including acute urinary
BACKGROUND
Benzodiazepine drugs are used very frequently by the elderly and have been associated with a number of untoward events in them. In an earlier publication, we showed that there was an association between benzodiazepine use and episodes of confusion in hospital. The purpose of this study
Opioids are frequently used as part of multimodal pain management protocols for knee arthroscopy; however, their use may be associated with opioid-related adverse events. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of potential analgesic-related complications after knee arthroscopy using a
BACKGROUND
The splenium of the corpus callosum has a specific structure of blood supply with a tendency towards blood-brain barrier breakdown, intramyelinic edema, and damage due to hypoxia or toxins. Signs and symptoms of reversible syndrome of the splenium of the corpus callosum typically include
