Abstract Background: The effects of the mode anesthesia on major adverse postoperative outcomes in geriatric patients are still inconclusive. authors hypothesized that a neuraxial anesthetic (NA) rather than general (GA) would yield better in-hospital for undergoing hip surgery. Methods: used data from Taiwan’s 1997–2011 in-patient claims database to evaluate effect outcomes. endpoints were mortality, stroke, transient ischemic myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, and renal failure....
Objectives Plasma vitamin C concentrations have been suggested to be related pain modulation in postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), an intractable neuropathic syndrome. In this study, we first compared plasma of between healthy volunteers and PHN patients then designed a symptom-based mechanism-based approach assess the analgesic effect intravenous on spontaneous brush-evoked pain. Methods Study 1 was cross-sectional that enrolled 39 38 patients. 2 double-blinded, placebo-controlled intervention...
Whether nonobstetric surgery during gestation is associated with a higher risk of spontaneous abortion or adverse delivery outcomes still unclear.We performed retrospective case-control study using Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID 2000) containing claim-data 1 million randomly selected beneficiaries. We compared the incidences and estimated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for abortion, outcomes, cesarean delivery, prolonged hospital stay to determine...
Haloperidol, a major tranquilizer, has been found to have potent antiemetic effect on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), but the prophylactic of haloperidol plus dexamethasone PONV not evaluated. We evaluated either given alone, placebo or droperidol in patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy.Four hundred adult women (n = 80 each five groups) scheduled for hysterectomy were enrolled randomized, double-blind, placebo, positive-control study. Fifteen minutes after...
Abstract Previous researches have shown that anesthesia can affect the outcomes of many kinds cancer after surgery. Here, we investigated association between and patient elective open intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma This was a retrospective cohort study patients who received surgery January 2005 December 2014. Patients were grouped according to received, is, propofol or desflurane anesthesia. Kaplan–Meier analysis performed survival curves constructed from date death. After propensity...
Abstract Background This study aims to develop a machine learning-based application in real-world medical domain assist anesthesiologists assessing the risk of complications patients after hip surgery. Methods Data from adult who underwent repair surgery at Chi-Mei Medical Center and its 2 branch hospitals January 1, 2013, March 31, 2020, were analyzed. Patients with incomplete data excluded. A total 22 features included algorithms, including demographics, comorbidities, major preoperative...
Exposure to general anesthetics (GA) in early childhood is associated with developmental disorders. However, few studies have addressed in-utero exposure during delivery and subsequent disorders the offspring. This study aimed investigate whether GA for cesarean children. Using data retrieved from National Health Insurance Research Database linked Birth Reporting Maternal Child between 2015 2020, this nationwide retrospective cohort compared incidence of following under that neuraxial...
Background Previous researches have shown that anesthetic techniques may influence the patients' outcomes after cancer surgery. Here, we studied relationship between type of and following elective robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study patients who received elective, prostatectomy January 2008 December 2018. Patients were grouped according to anesthesia they received, namely desflurane or propofol. A Kaplan–Meier analysis conducted, survival...
Shiunko is a traditional botanic formula (ointment) used clinically for treating wounded skin. The aim of the present study was to compare effects and acetylshikonin, its active ingredient, with those gentamicin silver sulfadiazine ointments, two disinfectants wound healing. Wounds were cut in backs Sprague-Dawley rats. Different bacterial inoculations (Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus) treatments (Shiunko, gentamicin, sulfadiazine, vehicle ointments) treat these wounds. We found...
Background and Purpose— It is not known how many stroke patients die from fatal pulmonary complications such as aspiration pneumonia (AP) choking each year in the United States. This study aimed to determine frequency of reporting AP or a cause death on certificates with mention States proxy measure incidence dying among stroke. Methods— We used multiple-cause mortality data for years 2001 2010 identify ( International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision code I60–I69), J69), W78–W80)...
This study aimed at determining the prevalence and predictors of hypovitaminosis D (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin < 30 ng/mL) among office workers in a subtropical region from an electronic hospital database. Totally, 2880 aged 26–65 years who received health examinations with vitamin status total calcium concentrations tertiary referral center were retrospectively reviewed. Subjects divided into groups according to genders, age (i.e., 26–35, 36–45, 46–55, 56–65), body-mass index (BMI) obese...
