Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction The ability to process, comprehend and recall information is vital to human existence. Impaired cognition has a detrimental effect on a person, impacting on their physical and social wellbeing. This literature review will examine postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), a condition that may occur following surgery that negatively alters cognitive function. An analysis of the freely available literature to define POCD and its theoretical mechanisms of action

Subjects The experiment was conducted on 75 healthy University of Sydney medical science students of both sexes and varying ages and body types. which involved two different types of induction of pain. The independent variable was the type of drug analgesic (paracetamol or combined with codeine) and the dependent variable was the pain response whilst taking the drug. All participants were given ethical and safety awareness of the experiment, and had a choice to participate. Their medical conditions

Whole mount preparations were prepared using nerves which were harvested from animals sacrificed using Ketamine 40-100 mg/kg IP and Xylazine 5-13 mg/kg IP. Animals underwent transcardial perfusion with 500 ml of 0.9% saline, followed by 500 ml of ice-cold 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer. After perfusion, sciatic nerves and L3, L4, and L5 DRGs ipsilateral to the injury were dissected and removed, and stored overnight at 4 C in 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer for post-fixation

The patients were assessed in the Pre –anaesthetic clinic. Data collected was entered in a pre-structured questionnaire. A previous history of difficult intubation was noted. BMI, neck circumference, mouth opening, thyromental distance and sterno mental distance was measured. Modified Mallampati classification, presence or absence of impaired temporomandibular joint mobility (inability to move the lower teeth in front of the upper teeth or retrognathia), limited neck movement (inability to extend

Results: The CONSORT flow diagram for study is shown in figure1. Patients who finally analyzed were 42, 90 in group I and II respectively. Patients' demographics and stone criteria are displayed in table 1. Success rate was 90.5% (38/42) and 97.8% (88/90) in groups I and II respectively with statistically insignificant difference (p = 0.3). Complete stone retrieval without fragmentation was achieved in 35 patients (83.3%) in group I and 74 patients (82.2%) in group II. Stone migrated proximally in

Efficacy and Safety in Total Knee Arthroplasty In our review, the focus is on benefits of liposome bupivacaine on management of post-operative pain after TKA procedure. Bramlett et al. (NCT00485693) Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging study evaluated the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of four dose levels of Depo-Foam bupivacaine compared with 150 mg of bupivacaine HCl/epinephrine, in TKA (N=138). Patients with age limit from 18-75 years who were undergoing TKA are allowed

Caesarean delivery is the method by which a baby is born through an incision in the abdominal wall and uterus. Statistics show that 166,081 caesarean deliveries were carried out within NHS hospitals in England during 2013/2014, of which 50% were elective. This represents a 2.5% rise over the previous year, continuing the trend of increasing elective caesarean rates (Health & Social Care Information Centre, 2015). Indications for a caesarean section (CS) can include foetal distress, previous CS, breech

Tears drain through small openings in the corners of the lower and upper eyelids called puncta and enter the nose through the nasolacrimal duct. An obstruction in the duct blocks the normal flow of tears and causes a backflow in the eye. Blockage of the drainage system causes tears to well up on the surface of the eyes and overflow on the eyelashes, eyelids, and down the cheek. In such condition, eyelids can become red swollen and sometimes even stuck together. The severity of such signs may vary

able to tolerate cystoscopy under local anaesthesia then the procedure was done under General Anaesthesia. Outcome Outcome or criteria of result will be based on following parameters: 1. Operation time (minutes) 2. Hospital stay (days) 3. Post-operative analgesic requirement. 4. Pain assessment with a Visual Analogue Score on first post-operative day after the catheter removal and at the end of fourth week. 5. Intra-operative Factors 6. Stone free rate 7. Unplanned visits and readmissions 8

Renal biopsy an invasive procedure in which a sample of renal tissue is obtained(1) . Microscopic examination of the biopsied tissue can provide information needed to diagnose, monitor and/or treat renal disorder. The introduction of renal biopsy in clinical practice has represented one of the most important advances in the field of clinical nephrology. Renal biopsy has contributed greatly to l classification of intrinsic renal diseases and, therefore, to a better knowledge of the pathogenesis involved
