Clinical Trial – The Effect of Left Uterine Displacement on Parturient Cardiovascular System
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of different angles of lateral tilt on the
maternal hemodynamics before and after spinal anesthesia
Regulation of myogenesis and skeletal muscle regeneration: effects of oxygen levels on satellite cell activity.
Abstract: Reduced oxygen (O2) levels (hypoxia) are present during embryogenesis and exposure to altitude and in pathologic conditions. During embryogenesis, myogenic progenitor cells reside in a hypoxic microenvironment, which may regulate their...
Paradoxical cerebral air embolism causing large vessel occlusion treated with endovascular aspiration.
Abstract: Cerebral air embolism is a dreaded complication of invasive medical procedures. The mainstay of therapy for patients with cerebral air embolism has been hyperbaric oxygen therapy, high flow oxygen therapy, and anticonvulsants. We present...
Clinical Trial – Spinal Anesthesia for Outpatient Abdominal Wall Surgery: Comparison of Bupivacaine, 2-chloroprocaine and Prilocaine
Considering fast-track principles, an ideal spinal anesthetic should have minimal
complications and above all fast recovery so reducing in-hospital stay.
Between 1/8/2015 and 1/1/2016, a total of 101 patients attending the surgeon’s practice with
an umbilical or unilateral inguinal hernia and no contra-indications for surgery were
included in this study. Patients were given 10.5mg bupivacaine (B-group), 40mg hyperbaric
2-chloroprocaïne (C-group) or 60mg prilocaïne (P-group), each with added sufentanil (2µg).
Motor block was assessed using the Bromage scale. Sensory block was measured by determining
the peak level dermatome. Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters were listed. Resolution of
sensory and motor block, time to void and home readiness were defined as clinical endpoints.
Augmented Renal Clearance in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Single-Center Observational Study of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide, Cardiac Output, and Creatinine Clearance.
Abstract: Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is being increasingly described in neurocritical care practice. The mechanisms driving this phenomenon are largely unknown. The aim of this project was therefore to explore changes in renal function,...

Population Pharmacokinetics of Piperacillin in Nonobese, Obese, and Morbidly Obese Critically Ill Patients.
Abstract: The treatment of infections in critically ill obese and morbidly obese patients is challenging because of the combined physiological changes that result from obesity and critical illness. The aim of this study was to describe the...
Ocimum gratissmum aqueous extract reduces plasma lipid in hypercholesterol-fed hamsters.
Abstract: Objectives: Hyperlipidemia is a significant risk factor in the development of atherosclerosis and related diseases which are major health problem in many developed and developing countries that can lead to fatality due to the changes in...
