results sixty patients completed the study. patients in the hydrocortisone group had no statistically significant abdominal and shoulder pain scores compared to the bupivacaine group. the patients were similar regarding postoperative analgesic requirements, return of bowel function, nausea and vomiting. no adverse effect was detected in either group. background postoperative pain is a major com...

background: this randomized controlled study was designed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of intraperitoneal ketamine versus bupivacaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. methods: we randomly divided 60 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy into two groups. the intervention group patients received intraperitoneal ketamine (0.5 mg/ kg) dilut...

DBA/2 mice and BALB/c x DBA/2 F( mice were inoculated i.p. with 1 x 105 L1210 leukemia cells on Day 0. Beginning with Day 1 following inoculation, the animals were given injec tions of 6-mercaptopurine riboside (200 mg/kg i.p.) once daily for 5 consecutive days in combination with a single s.c. injec tion of levamisole (LMS) (10 mg/kg). In DBA/2 mice, a marked decrease in the total peritoneal c...

conclusions we conclude that intraperitoneal hydrocortisone instillation caused leukocytosis and is thus suggested not to be used in immune-compromised patients. results the study was completed by 120 patients. patients who received intraperitoneal hydrocortisone and hydrocortisone plus bupivacaine had higher white blood cell (wbc) count (p < 0.0001). the patients were similar with respect to d...

the objective of this study was to evaluate several drug combinations for intraperitoneal anaesthesia in laboratory rats. following dose determination of anaesthetics in a pilot study, 45 healthy adult male rats were randomly assigned in 9 treatment groups and received propofol (alone or in combination with xylazine, midazolam, or ketamine) or ketamine (in combination with xylazine, midazolam, ...

1. Rabbits: Three rabbits received a total of six injections at 4-day intervals. The first injection was intraperi toneal. In subsequent injections the antigen homogenates were divided into two halves by light centrifugation. The sediment was in jected intraperitoneally in the morning, in amounts of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.0, and 2.0 ml. in order, in each of the five injections; 0.5 ml. of the superna...

This paper presents a permissive subsorted partial logic used in the CoFI Algebraic Speciication Language. In contrast to other order-sorted logics, subsorting is not modeled by set inclusions, but by injec-tive embeddings allowing for more general models in which subtypes can have diierent data type representations. Furthermore, there are no restrictions like monotonicity, regularity or local ...

To the Editor, The Indian Medical Gazette. Sir,?Having read the letter by Dr. D. M. Vasavada in your issue for October 1930 on intravenous quinine, j. am prompted to write to you to emphasise the value o intramuscular injections of quinine in malaria. TllC intramuscular injection is not followed by the fall i11 blood-pressure which occurs with intravenous injeC" lions, the method is easy and sa...
