Growth Hormone (GH) and Cardiovascular System

Abstract This review describes the positive effects of growth hormone (GH) on the cardiovascular system. We analyze why the vascular endothelium is a real internal secretion gland, whose inflammation is the first step for developing atherosclerosis, as well as the...

Clinical Trial – Dosage of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Bupivacaine and the Incidence of Post Spinal Shivering.

Shivering is very common after spinal anaesthesia. Many studies have investigated the role of
adding adjuvants to the local anaesthetics to decrease the incidence of post-spinal
shivering. Non of the studies n the literature review have investigated the role of different
dose of local anaesthetic alone in reducing the incidence of post-spinal shivering. In the
present study the investigators aimed to compare the effect of different local anaesthetic
dose in reducing post-spinal shivering.
