Acute gastroenteritis (GEA) is a public health problem at present, the main cause of vomiting and consultation in emergencies in children under 5 years. Worldwide, there are about 2 million deaths per year due to gastroenteritis in children under 5 years. In Mexico, the mortality rate by age in 2013, recorded 28 deaths per 100,000 boys and girls, in 2013 in our country 2.5 million children between 5 and 17 years engaged in an economic activity. The occupancy rate for the child population was 8.6: 11.4 for boys and 5.8 for girls.

This study was designed to compare the effects of gabapentin and ramosetron on PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
This is a single center, randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial.The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of TEAS pretreatment with single acupoint or two acupoints for postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing laparoscopic operation.
The purpose of this study is to clarify whether distal-proximal point association is more effective than partial match point association by electro-acupuncture in the management of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting .
Aprepitant is an oral neurokinin-1(NK-1) antagonist which is used for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). This phase II clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy of aprepitant in the prevention of CINV with lung cancer patients receiving 3-day cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
This study evaluates the addition of fosaprepitant to currently available antiemtic treatments of carboplatin chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients. Half of the patients will receive fosaprepitant in their first chemotherapy cycle, and a placebo on their second chemotherapy cycle. The other half of the patients will begin their first chemotherapy cycle.
Vitreoretinal surgery is associated with a considerable incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), which is reported to be as high as 60%. Reasons for this high incidence may be the long duration of surgery and anesthesia and the high degree of manipulation of the eye. Postoperative vomiting after vitrectomy is an important risk factor for the onset of several complications, such as suprachoroidal hemorrhage, with disastrous visual consequences. To date there is no evidence as to the possible protective effect of anti-emetic therapy with regard to interventions of vitrectomy performed under local anesthesia. In this prospective, randomized, multicenter, double blind study, we evaluated the efficacy of Ondansetron alone, Dexamethasone alone and in combination in controlling nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing vitrectomy under local anesthesia.
Nausea and vomiting are the most common symptoms experienced by cancer patients after chemotherapy. Some patients have to endure such unpleasant symptoms even after using of antiemetic or anti-vomiting medications.The purpose of this study is to assess the therapeutic effects and safety of acupuncture for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting on patients with malignancy
Constipation following elective Caesarean sections (CS) is a common problem experienced by up to 50% of patients (1). The causes for this are multifactorial and include manipulation of the bowel during surgery, immobilisation and opiate based anaesthetic and analgesic techniques. To try to alleviate the problem of postoperative constipation, some anaesthetists prescribe postoperative lactulose in addition to postoperative analgesia, although no data exists that shows whether this has any beneficial effect on postoperative constipation. 1.
