Clinical Trial – Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Spinal Morphine After Caesarean Section : A Comparison Study
Many counties in sub-Saharan Africa have very limited post-operative nursing capacity, and
relatively little data have been published about post-operative maternal pain control in
these settings. Cesarean section is the most common type of major operation at our
institution, Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH), in south-western Uganda.Nursing ward
staffing capacity is low, with much basic nursing care provided by families and friends of
patients. The investigators conducted a study to examine the impact of ITM versus TAP block
in a setting of limited formal nursing oversight.
Outcomes Achieved With Use of a Prefabricated Roll-On Total Contact Cast.
Abstract: The total contact cast (TCC) is considered the gold standard for offloading of plantar diabetic foot ulcerations, yet its use remains suboptimal for a variety of reasons. Prefabricated TCC systems have been developed to help enhance TCC...
Bronchial thermoplasty: implementing best practice in the era of cost containment.
Abstract: Increasing dependence on advanced technologies in the 21st century has created a dilemma between the practice and business of medicine. From information technology to robotic surgery, new technologies have expanded treatment possibilities...
Attenuation of collagen-induced arthritis by hyperbaric oxygen therapy through altering immune balance in favor of regulatory T cells.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) therapy is currently used for the treatment of chronic wounds, radiation-induced soft tissue necrosis, several oxygen-deficiency conditions and decompression sickness. In addition to the current indications, much...
Cerebrospinal vascular diseases misdiagnosed as decompression illness: the importance of considering other neurological diagnoses.
Abstract: The diagnosis of decompression illness (DCI), which is based on a history of decompression and clinical findings, can sometimes be confounded with other vascular events of the central nervous system. The authors report three cases of...

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) therapy is currently used for the treatment of chronic wounds, radiation-induced soft tissue necrosis, several oxygen-deficiency conditions and decompression sickness. In addition to the current indications, much...
Delayed treatment of frostbite with hyperbaric oxygen: a report of two cases.
Abstract: Frostbite is an injury caused by the freezing of tissue, causing varied levels of tissue damage and necrosis. Case reports have shown a positive effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) in such injuries, in acute cases as well as delayed (up to...
