Patients with heart failure and sleep apnea have greater chemoreflex sensitivity, presumably due to intermittent hypoxia (IH), and this is predictive of mortality. We hypothesized that endurance training would attenuate the effect of IH on peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity in healthy humans. Fifteen young healthy subjects (9 female, 26 ± 1 yr) participated. Between visits, 11 subjects underwen...

background and aims. inferior alveolar nerve block injection is one of the common intra oral anesthetic techniques, with a failure rate of 15-20%. the aim of this study was to evaluate the position of the lingula as an index for this injection. materials and methods. thirty eight panoramic radiographs of 7–11 year old patients were analyzed and the distance between the lingula index and occlusa...

conclusions the volume of the injected anesthetic accelerated the onset of sensory and motor block without affecting the rate of success in our patients. results the onset of sensory and motor block was significantly shorter in the 1.3% lidocaine group than in the 2% lidocaine group (p ≤ 0.05). the success rate of sensory and motor block was not different. the quality (completeness) of sensory ...

the painful nature of fractures has made it inevitable to use various anesthetic techniques to reduce or immobilize fractured parts. in the present study, axillary nerve block was compared with intravenous midazolam/fentanyl to induce anesthesia for painless reduction of upper extremity fractures. the subjects in the present clinical trial consisted of 60 patients with upper extremity fractures...
