We compared two nonionic contrast agents (ioxaglate and iohexol) with an ionic agent (Renografin-76) on the effects of ventriculography and coronary arteriography on the hemodynamics, electrocardiography, and serum creatinine in one hundred consecutive patients. Patients were randomized to nonionic

OBJECTIVE To determine whether patients suffering postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) present a different serotonin release pattern from those who do not present this complication. METHODS Forty-eight consecutive women undergoing outpatient laparoscopic tubal ligation were enrolled in this

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) accompanies any other intra-abdominal pathology. Serum amylase/lipase levels are commonly used in order to rule out acute pancreatitis in patients having abdominal pain in DKA. A more specific and noninvasive diagnostic tool - amylase/creatinine clearance ratio (ACCR) -

A patient-reported checklist was used to assess adequacy of dialysis as measured by 24-hour creatinine clearance in 40 patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis. The checklist consisted of 13 symptoms, each scored from 0-5 with 0 = absent and 5 = severe. The total possible score was 0-65. Patients

Cisplatin is a highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy agent, which is often used to induce nausea and emesis in animal models. The cytotoxic properties of cisplatin also cause adverse events that negatively impact on animal welfare preventing repeated administration of cisplatin. In this study, we

A comparative clinical trial of tropisetron capsule was conducted in three dose groups to investigate its optimal dose on nausea and vomiting induced by anti-cancer drugs, including cisplatin. The doses were randomized by the central registration office. In the assessment of clinical efficacy, cases

An uncontrolled retrospective study was conducted looking at the use of oral controlled-release hydromorphone in palliative care patients. Over a 2-year period 55 patients were switched to hydromorphone therapy, and the efficacy and outcomes were assessed. Urea and electrolyte measurements were also
