This case report clearly demonstrates one of several new and unique applications of nalbuphine (Nubain*). In addition, a previous study entitled "Outpatient anesthesia with nalbuphine hydroch...

Efficacy of intramuscular nalbuphine versus diphenhydramine for the prevention of epidural morphine-induced pruritus after cesarean delivery.

BACKGROUND Pruritus is the most common side effect of epidural morphine analgesia. Diphenhydramine is a widely used agent for the treatment of urticarial pruritus.

We compared the effectiveness of intramuscular diphenhydramine and nalbuphine for the prevention of epidural m...

Mathematical Modelling of Pulmonary Edema

The excess accumulation of water in lung interstitial or alveolar is called pulmonary edema which is caused by factors that upset the normal Starling balance in micro-circulation. Pulmonary edema disturbs the alveolar gas exchanges which are normally regulated by the respiratory system. Mathematical modelling of pulmonary edema may help to predict the lung conditions and the mechanisms involved...
