the purpose of the present article is to carry out a review of the literature on two local anesthetic agents, which are the most commonly used drugs in dental procedures. it would provide a clear concept about the local anesthetics, their dosages and exact usage in dental surgeries.

the intraoperative care of pheochromocytomas can be difficult and lead to serious complications. we present a case of a 46 year-old female undergoing laparoscopic resection of pheochromocytoma, who was scheduled for surgery with phenoxybenzamine and amlodipin. under general anesthesia cardiovascular stability was achieved by peritumoral infiltration of lidocaine during resection.

background the incidence of transient neurologic symptoms (tns) after spinal anesthesia with lidocaine is reported as high as 40%. objectives this prospective clinical trial was designed to determine the incidence of tns in patients who underwent spinal anesthesia with two different needles, in two different surgical positions. patients and methods the present randomized clinical trial was cond...

We formulate generalized maximum entropy estimators for the general linear model and the censored regression model when there is first order spatial autoregression in the dependent variable and residuals. Monte Carlo experiments are provided to compare the performance of spatial entropy estimators in small and medium sized samples relative to classical estimators. Finally, the estimators are ap...

objectives: instruction of local anesthesia injection in an important part of dental education curricula. this study was performed to compare dental students’ preference with regard to tactile or visual determination of injection site for an inferior alveolar nerve block (ianb) in children. materials and methods: this crossover randomized clinical trial was conducted on dental students of zahed...

objective(s):hypothermia and decompressive craniectomy (dc) have been shown to be neuroprotective. this study was designed to evaluate neuroprotective effects of delayed singular or combination of dc and local hypothermia on stroke. materials and methods: cerebral ischemia was induced in 48 wistar rats assigned to 4 groups: control, decompressive craniectomy (dc), local hypothermia (lh), combin...

dust storms are catastrophic natural disasters that beside other disasters frequency occur in the arid and semiaridregions worldwide. drought occurrence, climate aridity, dryness of the hamoun lake cause strong winds to below.these conditions have been prepared for dust storms in sistan region. the damages to sistan society have beenmeasured using different criteria. the result shows that, peak...
