OBJECTIVES To measure colloid osmotic pressure in interstitial fluid (COP(i)) from human subcutaneous tissue with the modified wick technique in order to determine influence of topical application of anaesthetics, dry vs. wet wick and implantation time on COP(i). MATERIAL AND METHODS In 50 healthy volunteers interstitial fluid (IF) was collected by subcutaneous implantation of multi-filamento...

OBJECTIVE Circumcision is a commonly performed surgical procedure but choice of anesthesia remained an issue of research and debate. This study was conducted to find out the effectiveness of the eutectic mixture of local anesthetic (EMLA) cream with dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) using lignocaine, for reduction of pain during circumcision. METHODOLOGY This was comparative study carried out ...

A 40-year-old woman with hypertensive nephrosclerosis began haemodialysis in January 2009. In March 2010, she underwent placement of a left forearm straight Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) haemodialysis graft for haemodialysis. She became increasingly intolerant of graft cannulation due to the pain of skin puncture and was prescribed a topical local anaesthetic preparation (EMLA). Within 3 weeks...

BACKGROUND Severe traumatic knee injury, including injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), leads to impaired sensorimotor function. Although improvements are achieved by training, impairment often persists. Because good sensorimotor function is associated with better patient-reported function and a potential lower risk of future joint problems, more effective treatment is warranted. Tem...

BACKGROUND Principles of brain plasticity is used in the treatment of patients with functional limitations to improve sensorimotor function. Training is included in the treatment of knee injury to improve both patient-reported function and sensorimotor function. However, impairment in sensorimotor function often persists despite training. Therefore, it was suggested that training programs need ...
