ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICACY OF PARA CERVICAL BLOCK IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONSCIOUS SEDATION ON PAIN CONTROL DURING OUTPATIENT HYSTEROSCOPY
Background and Objective: Hysteroscopy is considered as very important in the investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding. It is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under either local or no anesthesia. This study was designed to compare the combination of paracervical block (PCB) and conscious sedation with paracervical block or conscious sedation alone for outpatient hysteroscopy i...
متن کاملHigh dose rate brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
High dose rate (HDR) afterloading brachytherapy in the management of localised prostate cancer has practical, physical and biological advantages over low dose rate seed brachytherapy. There are no free live sources used, no risk of source loss and since the implant is a temporary procedure following discharge no issues with regard to radioprotection use of existing facilities.

Excellent local control rates and acceptable side effects have been demonstrated with brachytherapy as a sole treatment modality, a postoperative method, and a method of reirradiation. Low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy has been employed worldwide fo...
متن کاملOptimal bladder filling during high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer: a dosimetric study
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to compare 3D dose volume histogram (DVH) parameters of bladder and other organs at risk with different bladder filling protocol during high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy (HDR-ICBT) in cervical cancer, and to find optimized bladder volume. MATERIAL AND METHODS This dosimetric study was completed with 21 patients who underwent HDR-ICBT with computed tom...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer
Introduction/Background Over the last 2 decades, significant technical advancements have improved the delivery of prostate brachytherapy. The transrectal ultrasound-guided implant technique is the backbone of modern prostate brachytherapy. Whether it is permanent or temporary, ie, low-dose-rate (LDR) or high-dose-rate (HDR), respectively, both use similar image-guided techniques for inserting s...
