Efficacy of preventive analgesia with tramadol or lornoxicam for percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
(ELSEVIER, 2007)
Background: Prevention of postoperative pain provides better and more rapid convalescence for patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the preventive analgesic effect of tramadol and lornoxicam in the early ...
Case report: Nonobstructive giant urethral stone with two safety pins
(SPRINGER, 2003)
The urethra can be the site of various types of foreign bodies. A 61-year-old man having a giant urethral stone with two safety pins was evaluated according to the literature. To our knowledge, we report the first case of ...
Effect of magnesium sulfate, isradipine, and ritodrine on contractions of myometrium: pregnant human and rat
(BLACKWELL MUNKSGAARD, 2002)
Background. Magnesium sulfate, isradipine, and ritodrine are smooth muscle relaxants used for treating preterm labor. The aim of this study is to investigate the action profile of these drugs on the amplitude and frequency ...
Comparison of CT-guided sclerotherapy with using 95% ethanol and 20% hypertonic saline for managing simple renal cyst
(KOREAN RADIOLOGICAL SOC, 2007)
Objective: We wanted to compare the efficacies of 95% ethanol and 20% hypertonic saline (HS) sclerotherapies that were performed in a single session under CT guidance for the management of simple renal cysts. Materials and ...
In vitro dynamic swelling behaviors of radiation synthesized polyacrylamide with crosslinkers in the simulated physiological body fluids
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2002)
Acrylamide hydrogels, containing different amounts and types of crosslinkers, were synthesized via gamma-irradiation technique. Their swellings in simulated body fluids, such as physiological saline (0.89% NaCl) isoosmotic ...
Revascularization of the testis using a vascular induction technique: a potential approach for staged orchiopexy in high-undescended testis
(SPRINGER-VERLAG, 2004)
The present study was designed to determine whether a fasciovascular flap as a vascular carrier could be used to revascularize the undescended testis for avoiding the hazardous effects of the Fowler-Stephens procedure, ...
Nitric oxide synthase inhibition attenuates vasoactive response to spinal cord stimulation in an experimental cerebral vasospasm model
(SPRINGER-VERLAG WIEN, 2001)
Background. The basic mechanism of delayed cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) has been intensively investigated. II is thought that nitric oxide (NO) is a basic mediator of the cerebral vasodilator ...
Iatrogenic Pneumothorax: Etiology, Incidence and Risk Factors
(GEORG THIEME VERLAG KG, 2009)
Background: We discuss the etiology and incidence of iatrogenic pneumothorax (IPnx) which can develop after invasive procedures performed for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes, and the efforts to prevent this complication ...
The resistance of Escherichia coli strains isolated from community-acquired urinary tract infections
(HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC, 2005)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infections caused by Escherichia coli. Most recent research demonstrates that antibiotic resistance has reached a critical point throughout the world, as increased use ...
Litter categorization of beaches in wales, UK by multi-layer neural networks
(COASTAL EDUCATION & RESEARCH FOUNDATION, 2006)
Litter categories and grades of Welsh beaches were satisfactorily predicted by multi-layered feed for-ward neural networks and fuzzy systems, which are artificial intelligence techniques. Neural network structures with ...
