introduction: sinusitis is one of the most common diseases in general and in otolaryngology practice, but the optimal therapeutic options have not yet been fully developed. this manuscript will try to compare normal saline nasal douching with hypertonic saline in reducing symptoms and improving its signs. materials and methods: one hundred and fourteen patients suffering from non acute rhinosin...

Introduction: In the recent years, effect of hypertonic solution in resuscitation of shock has been shown by clinical and laboratory studies. On the other hand ATP-MgCl2 is used for better tissue perfusion and cardiac output in shock. The aim of this study is evaluation of ATP-MgCl2 with hypertonic solution in resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock. Materials and Methods: In this experimental stud...

introduction: chronic radicular low back pain is a common disease that limits patient’s daily activity. epidural steroid injection (esi) is becoming the mainstay of therapies for radicular low back pain due to contained bulged disc. aim: to determine the effect of adding hypertonic saline to epidural steroid injections to provide pain relief for chronic radiculopathy back pain secondary to fora...

background: acute kidney injury (aki) is a common and life-threatening complication following coronary artery bypass graft (cabg). neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (ngal) and cystatin c have shown to be good predictive factors for aki. recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of hypertonic saline in cardiac operations. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prophy...

background: complications of ventolin as the most common drug used for bronchiolitis are widely known. the present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of hypertonic saline 3%, compared with ventolin, for treatment of acute bronchiolitis in children.   methods : this double-blinded clinical trial study was conducted in hajar hospital, shahrekord, iran, from 2011 to 2012. a total of 70 ...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs both after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and after hypertonic saline administration; furosemide may be useful in preventing AKI indirectly. Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (sNGAL) is superior to serum creatinine (sCr) in diagnosing early AKI. We compared the administration of hypertonic saline plus furosemide (HTS+F) versus hypertonic saline (HTS...

background: hydatid cysts are encountered frequently in regions endemic with livestock. the basic treatment for a hydatid cyst is total surgical removal of the cyst and its inner contents. hypertonic nacl or diluted betadine solution are used as germicidal agents for most hydatid surgeries. however, the germicidal efficacy of the ankaferd blood stopper® (abs) has not been investigated. thus, we...
