Efficacy of gabapentin for prevention of postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort in patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor.
Abstract: To evaluate the effect of 600 mg and 1200 mg oral gabapentin pretreatment for the prevention of postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) in patients undergoing catheterization after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). One...
Clinical Trial – Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Ameliorates Insulin Resistance
Obesity is an epidemic in Western society and is the biggest risk factor for insulin
resistance and type 2 diabetes. The investigators have preliminary evidence showing that
hyperbaric oxygen therapy rapidly increases insulin sensitivity in humans. This requires
confirmation in a larger population, and with this study the investigators will also test for
mechanisms how this occurs. The investigators suspect that modulation of hypoxia and stress
response proteins following changes in tissue oxygenation may contribute to these
improvements. This study has the potential to yield new and important insights into the
insulin resistance in obesity.
Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy alleviates chronic constrictive injury-induced neuropathic pain and reduces tumor necrosis factor-alpha production.
Abstract: The development of hyperalgesia and allodynia after chronic constrictive injury (CCI) is associated with significantly increased tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. Theoretically, if the production of TNF-α and/or IL-1β could be reduced,...
