Background: Arthroscopic reconstruction of ACL is an effective method to restore knee stability after ACL rupture.Postoperative septic arthritis (SA) is very uncommon while the incidence of serious complications range between0.14% and 1.8%. Some of the devastating consequences of septic arthritis can encompass hyaline cartilage damage,arthrofibrosis, and in rare cases amputation. The purpose of...

Method: The present double-blind clinical trial recruited 213 patients presenting with fractured limbs to emergency departments. The first group of patients received 1 micg/kg of intravenous fentanyl citrate from a solution of 50 micg/ml and 5 ml of normal saline in nebulized form (group A), and the second group intravenously received 5 ml of normal saline and 4 micg/kg of 50 micg/ml solution o...

background: to determine the efficacy of three different antiseptic solutions (control group (i), antibiotic solution – neomycin and polymyxin (ii), chlorhexidine 0.4% (iii), and povidone – iodine 10% (iv)) in disinfecting contaminated bone fragments. methods: under sterile conditions, the femora of 12 rabbits were removed and cut into six millimeter pieces. a total of 200 bone specimens were o...

There is currently no licensed vaccine that protects foals against Rhodococcus equi-induced pneumonia. Oral administration of live, virulent R. equi to neonatal foals has been demonstrated to protect against subsequent intrabronchial challenge with virulent R. equi. Electron beam (eBeam)-inactivated R. equi are structurally intact and have been demonstrated to be immunogenic when administered o...

Introduction: Using irrigation solutions in pulpectomy procedures for children is the best technique to dissolve and remove the soft necrotic materials during instrumentation. Normal saline solution (NSS) has no antibacterial activity and only results in root canal cleaning during irrigation. The 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) solution significantly decreases bacterial coloni...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of furosemide for prevention of exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) in Thoroughbred racehorses under typical racing conditions. DESIGN Randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded, crossover field trial. ANIMALS 167 Thoroughbred racehorses. PROCEDURES Horses were allocated to race fields of 9 to 16 horses each and raced twice, 1 week apart, with each...

This article presents a methodology for acquisition and analysis of bright-field amplitude contrast image data in high-throughput screening (HTS) for the measurement of cell density, cell viability, and classification of individual cells into phenotypic classes. We present a robust image analysis pipeline, where the original data are subjected to image standardization, image enhancement, and se...

1. By introducing intravenously into dogs a solution of 5 per cent. ether in normal saline (0.9 per cent.), a satisfactory surgical anesthesia can be produced. 2. Associated with this anesthesia a glycosuria occurs in healthy adult dogs fed on a meat diet. 3. Normal saline (0.9 per cent.) introduced in exactly the same manner does not cause a glycosuria. 4. The glycosuria is, in general, associ...

OBJECTIVE To determine if applying chilled solution to exposed cerebral cortex can reduce interictal epileptiform activities in patients during surgery. METHODS Electrocorticography was used to record the epileptiform activity of 12 patients (ages 18-53) undergoing cortical mapping and resection surgery. Interictal spikes were counted at baseline and compared with spikes after applying room t...
