Patients with respiratory disease have an increased risk of developing complications
perioperatively. The use of regional anesthesia decreases this risk with better postoperative
outcome. The aim of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of thoracic spinal
versus thoracic epidural anesthesia for open nephrectomy in patients with
obstructive/restrictive lung disease.

Clinical Trial – Heavy Bupivacaine in Peribulbar Block
Most of the ophthalmic procedures are performed under local anesthesia as the patient is
often elderly and with diseases. This may increase the risk of morbidity and mortality under
general anesthesia. Different eye blocks have been practiced with great success. Moreover, it
is associated with less hemodynamic instability, less respiratory depression, better
postoperative pain relief, and less nausea and vomiting than general anesthesia. It is also
associated with a reduction in stress response, maintained oxygen saturation and
cardiovascular stability, in addition to the production of good akinesia and anesthesia
alleviating occulo-medullary reflexes, all make local anesthesia more superior and safe
technique.
Comparison of the effects of albumin and crystalloid on mortality among patients with septic shock: systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.
Abstract: This study aimed to compare the effects on mortality of albumin and crystalloid, used for fluid resuscitation among adult patients with septic shock, through conducting a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA). Meta-analysis and TSA conducted at...
How biomarkers reflect the prognosis and treatment of necrotising soft tissue infections and the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy: the protocol of the prospective cohort PROTREAT study conducted at a tertiary hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Abstract: Not enough is known regarding the prognosis and treatment of necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs). Mortality has been shown to be 25%-35%, with survivors coping with amputations and prolonged rehabilitation. This study will evaluate soluble...
Interventions for managing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.
Abstract: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe adverse reaction experienced by some individuals to certain medicines commonly used in the treatment of cancer and osteoporosis (e.g. bisphosphonates, denosumab and antiangiogenic agents) and...
Megyn Kelly Interviews Mom Whose Toddler Recovered from Near-fatal Drowning on NBC’s Today Show

Delayed hyperbaric intervention in life-threatening decompression illness.
Abstract: Arterial gas embolism is a catastrophic event. Bubbles in the arterial circulation may lodge in the brain and cause infarction in the affected area and/or in a coronary vessel causing acute myocardial ischaemia. There is no well-defined window of time beyond...
The Potential of Gelam Honey in Promoting the Proliferative Phase of Corneal Reepithelialization.
Abstract: Advances in molecular diagnostic medicine have allowed for more rapid, accurate, and comprehensive methods for identifying microorganisms in a chronic wound, which led to the de- velopment and use of a tailored topical antibiotic gel aimed at treating this...
A Double-Blind, Randomized Trial on the Efficacy and Safety of Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy in the Preservation of Erectile Function after Radical Prostatectomy.
Abstract: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy to preserve erectile function as part of penile rehabilitation after robot assisted bilateral nerve sparing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. We performed a prospective,...
Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Healing of Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of standard wound care with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to standard wound care alone on wound healing, markers of inflammation, glycemic control, amputation rate, survival rate of tissue,...
