Filter by:This is a balanced, open-label, single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study of virgin coconut oil (VCO) among healthy Filipino male adults 18-45 years of age in Dasmariñas, Cavite. This study aims to determine the rate and extent of absorption of virgin coconut oil (VCO) administered in healthy male human study participants under fed conditions in single and multiple doses and to monitor the safety and tolerability of virgin coconut oil (VCO) following the standard protocol developed by the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute (DLSMHSI).
With the development of the concept of comfortable medicine and enhanced recovery surgery (ERAS), optimizing the perioperative management of patients, reducing surgical stress, and reducing postoperative pain can effectively reduce perioperative complications and achieve the purpose of accelerating recovery. As an important part of ERAS, multimodal analgesia is the core concept of perioperative analgesia management. As a kind of perioperative multimodal analgesia, quadratus lumbar muscle block (QLB) is a type of local anesthetic drug injected around the quadratus lumbar muscle to reduce or eliminate abdominal wall pain and visceral pain after abdominal surgery. QLB has been used successfully for pain control after laparoscopic and open surgery, reducing perioperative opioid use and improving prognosis-related measures such as PONV and length of hospital stay. Bupivacaine liposomes use DepoFoam technology to encapsulate the drug in polycystic liposomes, which can prolong the release time of bupivacaine due to the different rupture times of different vesicles, and the postoperative analgesia can be up to 72 hours. In this project, patients who undergo elective laparoscopic uterine and double adnexectomy were selected to be injected with lipososomes of bupivacaine at different concentrations under ultrasound guidance of bilateral posterior QLB before anesthesia induction, and the effect of liposomal bupivacaine on postoperative pain was investigated by evaluating the postoperative pain and incidence of adverse events. This study will greatly promote the clinical promotion and application of bupivacaine liposome, improve the postoperative comfort and satisfaction of patients, and accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the comparative effect and accuracy of ultrasound procedures by conducting a practical randomized controlled clinical study comparing patients (20 patients) with ultrasound-guided pharmacoacupuncture and patients (20 patients) without checking ultrasound images in 40 patients with whom complain of moderate or higher pain with 5 or higher NRS when stabilizing the shoulder joint.
Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among men today. Radical prostatectomy is a surgery that significantly reduces disease-related mortality. The laparoscopic technique, on the other hand, is preferred because it shortens the hospital stay, faster recovery and less postoperative pain.In this study, it was planned to investigate the analgesic or hyperalgesic effects of tranexamic acid, which is widely used in the management of bleeding in trauma, orthopedic, genitourinary and gynecological surgeries. Routine noninvasive monitoring (ECG, Spo2, NIBP) will be performed when participatient are taken to the operating table without premedication. After midazolam is administered, intubation will be performed by administering 1mg/kg lidocaine, 3mg/kg propofol, 2mcg/kg fentanyl, 0.6mg/kg rocuronium. Anesthesia will be maintained with desflurane with a MAC of 1. A 0.1-0.5 mcg/kg/min remifentanil infusion will be administered by targeting 40-60 values with BIS monitoring. After intubation, 15mg/kg tranexamic acid will be given 10 minutes before the incision, and 100 mg/h infusion will be administered until the skin is closed. The control group will be given 100 ml of saline.1mg/kg tramadol and 1gr parol will be administered 30 minutes before the end of the operation. The primary objectives of the study were to learn the VAS (Visual analog scale) score at 0.6,12, 24,48,72 hours, time to first analgesic requirement, and analgesic requirement within 24 hours. Secondary purposes are to determine the amount of antiemetic used, at the beginning of the operation, Hg at the first hour and postoperative 6 hours, complications and side effects (such as DVT, pulmonary embolism).
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the quality of postoperative analgesia in a group of obese patients schedule to bariatric surgery under TIVA Opiod-free after to receive lidocaine and ketamine perfusion. The main question it aims to answer are: How lidocaine and ketamine perfusion during recovery period does impact over morphine consumption on the following 48 hours after surgery? All participants will receive total intravenous anesthesia and, at the end of the surgery, they will be divided in two groups, group A: placebo and, group B: with postoperative lidocaine and ketamine perfusion. Our hypothesis is ketamine and lidocaine are a good alternative to decrease the use of morphine in obese patients.
Prospective interventional comparative study to compare the efficacy of Rituximab versus Conventional treatment in Refractory Nephrotic Syndrome including patients on triple immunosuppression protocols.
This project explores the role and mechanism of ulinastatin in preventing cardiac dysfunction caused by cardiopulmonary bypass by reducing cardiac endothelial permeability through clinical research. Our previous basic research has found that inhibiting the TK/B1R/ARNT/MMP3/iNOS signaling axis in the acute phase of cardiac R/I can reduce the permeability of cardiac endothelial cells, reduce cardiac edema and improve cardiac function (this part has been completed) . This study intends to investigate the effects of ulinastatin on 24-hour cardiac function and prognosis in patients undergoing cardiac surgery undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (cardiac function, inflammatory indicators, coagulation function, capillary leakage indicators, 28-day survival time, CCU time). At the same time, we observed the dynamic changes of TK/B1R/MMP3 during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and explored its relationship with prognosis, as well as the effect of ulinastatin intervention on TK/B1R/MMP3 before and after cardiopulmonary bypass.
This project will develop and assess the feasibility and acceptability of a salive-based assay to monitor adherence to Mass Drug Administration (MDA) campaigns within Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) control programs, evaluating the salive and serum pharmacokinetics of ALBENDAZOLE (ABZ) and its metabolites.The final goal is to obtain a field ready tool for the measurement of adherence to anthelmintic treatment at a community level that serves as a coverage/adherence indicator and a reference standard for other monitoring tools.
This study aims to evaluate the short-term effects and safety of prophylactic intra-vitreal injection of triamcinolone-moxifloxacin combination after cataract surgery. 84 patients underwent cataract surgery associated with intra-vitreal injection of triamcinolone-moxifloxacin combination after surgery.
There is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19, and no vaccine is currently available. Baricitinib, an anti-Janus kinase inhibitor (anti-JAK) acting against JAK1 and JAK2. The drug was found capable to reduce or interrupt the passage of the virus into target cells, and to inhibit the JAK1- and JAK2-mediated cytokine release. The drug was licensed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis at the daily dose of 4 mg/orally, with excellent results in terms of clinical response and a good safety profile. Since baricitinib does not interact with antivirals due to its prevalent renal elimination, it may be used in combination.The evidence on the advantageous action of baricitinib on viral entry and cytokine outbreak constituted the rationale to perform a trial on patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 infection receiving baricitinib combined with antiviral therapy.
