Background Spinal anesthesia is a suitable technique for ambulatory surgery, offering benefits such as rapid recovery and minimal complications. The choice of local anesthetic key factor in achieving turnover an surgery unit. This study compares the safety effectiveness hyperbaric prilocaine bupivacaine setting. Methods A total 114 patients undergoing were randomly allocated to receive either (20mg/mL) or (5mg/mL). Time first walk, time discharge, perioperative complications compared....
Under the influence of a chronic permanent stress, adrenal function as well entire hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) suffered an adaptation process that resulted in normalization studied stress hormones (ACTH, corticosterone and aldosterone) with exception plasma renin activity which first diminished at end increased. ACTH receptors exhibited dual response since after 14 days MC2-R showed slight reduction while MC5-R was still up-regulated.
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system with neurological and motor symptoms that affect orofacial region. The aim this work to present a patient lacks three classic manifestations but has other less common clinical alterations.A 49-year-old female diagnosed long-term relapsing-remitting multiple visited dentist complaining mild persistent pain including temporomandibular joint not specific any tooth. She presented mucosal irritation, xerostomia, halitosis,...

SIFIB a reliable analgesic option as part multimodal analgesia, reducing pain, opioid consumption its related adverse effects. Adequate pain control important early ambulation patient satisfaction. However, may potentially lead to decreased motor strength...
Bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) is a potentially serious complication after joint replacement surgery, resulting from bone marrow debris and embolisation, culminating in pulmonary cardiovascular collapse. Echocardiography aids diagnosis management. We present woman her 80s with grade II BCIS. CT angiogram was inconclusive, but echocardiography revealed hyperechogenic material right ventricular dysfunction, confirming the diagnosis. She received respiratory support level intensive...
Background: Few data is available in low-burden TB-HIV countries on TB treatment outcomes. We evaluated patients (pts) characteristics by HIV status and compared outcomes relation to status, CD4 count antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods: performed a retrospective analysis of 447 adult pts who registered initiated our center from 2014 2015. Results: Pts were categorized as HIV-negative (n = 399, 89.3%), HIV-positive ART 42, 9.4%) not 6, 1.3%). The proportion with extended was higher among...
Background: Serological studies of antibody prevalence in response to infection with the acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are useful monitor epidemic progression disease and evaluate rates. In this study, we estimated anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgM IgG) a Portuguese sub-district, during National lockdown - January-March 2021.Methods: seroepidemiological survey participants were tested for SARS-CoV-2 IgG), blood samples. The seroprevalence results stratified by age,...
<h3></h3> <b>Please confirm that an ethics committee approval has been applied for or granted:</b> Not relevant (see information at the bottom of this page) <h3>Background and Aims</h3> Postoperative analgesia after TAH remains a challenge. In our hospital, we commonly use one two protocols: parenteral with intravenous DIB regional epidural supplemented analgesia.

<h3>Background and Aims</h3> Multimodal approach to pain in critical patients, using different drugs combined with regional analgesia can improve clinical outcomes. This study aims assess nurse´s perspective regarding this approach, namely management outcome practical aspects epidural manipulation. <h3>Methods</h3> The authors designed an anonymous survey, applied nurses of a mix case ICU (12-beds), from tertiary Portuguese Hospital. Questions focused on details, daily routines....
The role of autophagic process or inflammatory reaction to the induction skeletal muscle atrophy during immobilization is not yet completely understood. aim this study was comparably investigate their relative contribution over a short period immobilization, with special emphasis on biochemical data and probable morphological correlate. Twenty-four Charles River mice were divided into four experimental groups (each n = 6) that immobilized for different periods time assigned as group 24h,...
