Comparison of topical lignocaine gel and fentanyl for perioperative analgesia in children undergoing cataract surgery.

28 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Opioids continue to remain the primary analgesics in children undergoing ophthalmic surgery, and their use may be associated with adverse effects like vomiting and respiratory depression. Topical anesthesia avoids these adverse effects ... Read more...

Low-dose oral midazolam reduces fear and distress during needle procedures in children with cancer.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Children with cancer often mention needle procedures as the most frightening, distressing, and sometimes painful aspect of the disease and treatment. The aim was to investigate whether children experience less fear, distress, and/or pain ... Read more...

Effects of high-dose modified-release nicotinic acid on atherosclerosis and vascular function: a randomized, placebo-controlled, magnetic resonance imaging study.

Nov 2009 OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine the effects of high-dose (2 g) nicotinic acid (NA) on progression of atherosclerosis and measures of vascular function. BACKGROUND: NA raises high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and reduces low-density ... Read more...
