Introduction Effective and safe anesthesia for rodents has long been a leading concern among biomedical researchers. Intraperitoneal injection constitutes an alternative to inhalant anesthesia. Purpose The aim of this study was identify safe, reliable, effective postoperative analgesia protocol laboratory rats exposed painful procedures. Material methods Twenty-seven female Wistar in ongoing th...

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the profile of hypertensive patients, indicated surgical procedures in oral cavity.
 Methods: Treated an observational and cross-sectional research, with a quantitative approach, whose sample consisted 50 medical records patients diagnosed arterial hypertension. A survey was conducted at Clinical School University Center Patos - UNIFIP / PB. D...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hypothermia is likely to develop faster during spinal anesthesia than epidural anesthesia. A natural consequence of the rapid temperature decrease during spinal anesthesia is that the shivering threshold will be reached sooner and that more shivering will be required to prevent further hypothermia. We tested the hypotheses that the onset of hypothermia is more rapid an...

Chronic cough, defined as cough lasting for 8 weeks, is one of the most common symptoms of medical importance, and the prevalence in the community is 9–33%.1 A subgroup of patients suffer from the debilitating and distressing disorder of cough syncope, which is difficult to effectively manage and treat. The approach in clinic is to determine an underlying etiology for cough syncope and to treat...

The objective of this work is to determine mepivacaine hydrochloride (MPVHC) as local anesthetic drug. Modified carbon paste ion-selective electrode was used for the determination MPVHC in different dosage forms and biological fluids. study depends on potentiometric titration drug using modified (MCPE) end point indicator electrode. effects composition, conditioning parameters foreign ions perf...

Xenon (MAC = 71%) has an extremely low blood:gas partition coefficient (0.14). Therefore, we predicted that the rate of emergence from xenon anaesthesia would not be affected greatly by duration of anaesthesia. We studied 54 ASA I-II patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery who received equal MAC anaesthesia with 60% xenon, 60% nitrous oxide with 0.5% isoflurane or 60% nitrous oxide with 0.7...

Many polymers and composites have been used to prepare active wound dressings. These materials have typically exhibited potentially toxic burst release of the drugs within the first few hours followed by a much slower, potentially ineffective drug release rate thereafter. Many of these materials also degraded to produce inflammatory and cytotoxic products. To overcome these limitations, composi...
