Clinical Trial – Estimation of the ED95 of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Prilocaine 2% With Sufentanyl for Scheduled Cesarean Delivery
Hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% associated with opioids is the local anesthetic the most commonly
used for spinal injection in cesarean section. Nevertheless, its use often results in a long
duration of motor nerve block and a haemodynamical instability. Recently developped, the
Prilocaine, with its new 2% hyperbaric formulation, seems to offer a good alternative for
hyperbaric bupivicaine. A first study has determined the ED95 of hyperbaric prilocaine 2% for
intrathecal anesthesia in scheduled cesarean delivery. As opioid adjuvants potentiate the
effect of the local anesthetics while decreasing their dose-related side effects, the aim of
this study is to determine the ED95 of hyperbaric prilocaine 2% with sufentanyl for scheduled
cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia,by using the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM)
Clinical Trial – Effect of Intrathecal Morphine, Dexmedetomidine or Both in Combination to Bupivacaine on Immunity
this work aims to investigate the effect of intrathecal administration of Morphine,
Dexmedetomidine or both in combination on cellular immunity and cytokine production in
patients undergoing major abdominal cancer surgeries.
Ischaemia-reperfusion injury and hyperbaric oxygen pathways: a review of cellular mechanisms.
Abstract: Ischaemia-induced tissue injury has wide-ranging clinical implications including myocardial infarction, stroke, compartment syndrome, ischaemic renal failure and replantation and revascularization. However, the restoration of blood flow...

The potential impact of sleep-related movement disorders on stroke risk: a population-based longitudinal study.
Abstract: Sleep-related movement disorders (SRMD) have been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between SRMD and stroke remains unclear. To explore the relationship between SRMD and stroke in the general...
Structural homologies between phenformin, lipitor and gleevec aim the same metabolic oncotarget in leukemia and melanoma.
Abstract: Phenformin's recently demonstrated efficacy in melanoma and Gleevec's demonstrated anti-proliferative action in chronic myeloid leukemia may lie within these drugs' significant pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and structural homologies,...
Patient Outcomes and Factors Associated with Healing in Calciphylaxis Patients Undergoing Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Abstract: Calcific uremic arteriolopathy, also known as calciphylaxis, is a rare syndrome of small vessel calcification of unknown etiology causing painful, violaceous skin lesions that progress to form chronic non-healing ulcers and gangrene....
Tenth European Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine: recommendations for accepted and non-accepted clinical indications and practice of hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Abstract: The tenth European Consensus Conference on Hyperbaric Medicine took place in April 2016, attended by a large delegation of experts from Europe and elsewhere. The focus of the meeting was the revision of the European Committee on...
A Case of Delayed Radiation Myelopathy of the Thoracic Vertebrae Following Low Dose Radiation Therapy for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Abstract: Delayed radiation myelopathy (DRM) is a rare disorder that rapidly leads to disabilities, and the median incubation period was reported to be about 2 years (from 6 months to a few years). In this report, we describe a 61-year-old woman...
