Filter by:The application of a novel topical formulation for the treatment of muscular pain and stiffness (Egyfil), containing hyaluronic acid, SH-Polypeptide-6 and SH-Oligopeptide-1, is investigated to evaluate efficacy and safety in 26 patients with stiffness and pain. Single-Arm, Pre-Market, interventional study.
To determine which nostril is more suitable for nasotracheal intubation with video rigid stylet.
Interventional study with minimal risks and constraints, prospective, mono-centric.
Purpose: In this study we wanted to compare bolus propofol and ketamine as an adjuvant to remifentanil-based total intravenous anesthesia for pediatric rigid bronchoscopy. Materials and Methods: Forty children under 12 years of age scheduled for rigid bronchoscopy were included. After midazolam premedication, remifentanil infusion 1 µg/kg/min was started and patients were randomly allocated to receive either propofol (Group P) or ketamine (Group K) and mivacurium for muscle relaxation. Anesthesia was maintained with remifentanil infusion 1 µg/kg/min and bolus doses of propofol or ketamine. After rigid bronchoscopy remifentanil 0.05 µg/kg/min was maintained until extubation. Hemodynamic parameters, emergence characteristics and adverse events were evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) on ocular rigidity in glaucoma patients.
Stiff-man Syndrome (SMS) is a chronic, progressive disorder of the nervous system. It is associated with painful muscle spasms and rigidity involving muscles of the limbs, trunk, and neck. The cause of the disease is unknown, but researchers believe it may be a result of an autoimmune process. Patients with Stiff-man Syndrome may produce antibodies that attack enzymes required for the normal function of the nervous system. Steroids, plasmapheresis, and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) have been given to relieve some of the symptoms of Stiff-man Syndrome. However, none of these therapies have proven to be significantly effective. This study will attempt to determine the effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) for the treatment of Stiff-mann Syndrome. Patients participating in this study will be divided into two groups. Group one will receive 2 injections of IVIg once a month for three months. Group two will receive 2 injections of placebo "inactive sterile water" once a month for three months. Following the three months of treatment, group one will begin taking the placebo and group two will begin taking IVIg for an additional 3 months. The drug will be considered effective if patients receiving it experience a significant improvement in muscle function, mobility, and stiffness.
