We hypothesized that nitric oxide activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) participates in cutaneous vasodilation during whole body heat stress and local skin warming. We examined the effects of the sGC inhibitor, 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), on reflex skin blood flow responses to whole body heat stress and on nonreflex responses to increased local skin temperature. Bl...

Subcutaneous fluid administration is a commonly used therapy in veterinary practice. Its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in human clinical studies, but have only rarely been discussed in the veterinary literature. This prospective observational study was performed to evaluate changes during a 24 h period in serum biochemistries associated with administration of lactated Ringer's solu...

BACKGROUND Postoperative vomiting (POV) is one of the most frequent complications of tonsillectomy in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiemetic effect of super-hydration with lactated Ringer's solution in children undergoing elective otorhinolaryngological surgery. METHODS One hundred ASA I-II children, aged 1-12 yr, undergoing elective tonsillectomy, with or without aden...

Background: Ringer lactate has long been used in many surgical procedures as one of the isotonic solutions. However, with the development of Ringer acetate, it becomes the crystalloid of choice owing to its main metabolism in muscles unlike lactate which is mainly in liver, also it corrects acidosis more rapidly than lactate and it needs less 02 and produces less CO2. Ringer acetate has also a ...

background hypotension during spinal anesthesia is common and can lead to severe injuries and even death. administration of crystalloid fluids is advised to prevent occurrence of hypotension; however its effectiveness is still the matter of arguments. objectives this study was designed to compare the effects of ringer`s lactate and hydroxyethyl starch 6% on hemodynamic parameters after spinal a...

Advent of the tumescent technique in 1987 has allowed for safe contouring in ambulatory single session liposuction under regional or general anaesthesia. Safety and aesthetic issues define MegaLiposuction to be in Volume in litres of more than 10% of Body weight in Kgs. 870 cases of liposuction were performed between September 2000 and August 2008. In (65%) cases, the total volume of aspirate w...
