BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Oxycodone is poorly studied as an adjuvant to central blockades. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the efficacy and safety of oxycodone hydrochloride in epidural blockade among patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). PATIENTS AND METHODS In 11 patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system II/III, age range: 59...

Coleus forskohlii L. is an important medicinal plant species found in tropical regions of India. Roots and tubers are used for treating a variety of purposes, including treating asthma, bronchitis, insomnia, epilepsy and angina.Due to diverse use, the species has been largely exploited from natural habitat leading to its threatened status. A field experiment was conducted to study the influence...

The aim of the research was to determine influence varietal characteristics, pre-sowing seed treatment and irrigation on yield winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Experimental studies were carried out in conditions Mykolayiv National Agrarian University (Ukraine) during 2019-2022 yrs. It found that among studied variety wheat, highest grain distinguished by ‘Ozerna’ ‘Duma Odes’ka’. On average,...

We surveyed 343 young women with 420 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) regarding pregnancy and childbirth after THA. The mean age at surgery was 35 years (18 to 45). The mean length of follow-up after the initial arthroplasty was 16 years (6 to 27). Of these 343 women, 47 (13.7%) had a successful pregnancy after their primary THA. The first baby after a THA was delivered vaginally in 30 patients ...

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the orthopedic procedures that are both economical and routinely successful. THA offers dependable benefits for patients with end-stage degenerative osteoarthritis (OA), including pain alleviation, functional recovery, overall better quality life. Methods: This was a retrospective study which conducted on who visited hospital's outpatient depar...

Abstract Introduction We determined the impact of deprivation and frailty at time diagnosis hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) on likelihood receiving total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). Method used routinely collected primary care data (Clinical Practice Research Datalink), linked to Hospital Episode Statistics. Frailty was assessed OA using electronic index categorised as fit, mild, moderate,...

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of a Pseudomonas fluorescens-based biofertilizer on sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam) yield. The application by immersion cuttings before sowing for 0, 5, 10 and 15 minutes with combination doses 50 100% NPK mineral fertilizer in randomized block design three replications (12 treatments-combinations). During harvest (130 days after plant...

Phospholipid vesicles, also known as liposomes, were examined for their ability to act as a drug carrier to the brain. 9-Amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine (THA), a centrally acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, was used as a model drug. THA was encapsulated in dehydration-rehydration vesicles (DRV) composed of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol and dipalmitoyl-phosphatidic acid (molar r...
