چکیده
Two historical cohorts (1993-1994 and 2001) of preterm infants ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome were compared. Dexamethasone administration fell from 22% to 6%. Chronic lung disease in survivors rose slightly from 13% to 17%, and mortality fell from 21% to 15% (other causes). The effect of restriction of dexamethasone use on chronic lung disease and mortality remains to be seen.

Postnatal steroids: the way forward.
Chronic lung disease (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) remains a major problem for neonatologists caring for very preterm infants, with rates in Europe varying from 10% in one Italian region to 25% in the northern region of the UK in the Models of Organizing Access to Intensive Care for Very Preterm Births (MOSAIC) cohort study1; infants in this study had gestational ages ranging from 23 to 31 weeks...
متن کاملAn analysis of the rate of metallothionein mRNA poly(A)-shortening using RNA blot hybridization.
A progressive reduction in the size of rat metallothionein-1 mRNA following induction by copper chloride or dexamethasone was demonstrated on RNA blots, and was shown to be due to shortening of the poly(A)-tail. The rate of poly(A) removal was the same in rat liver and kidney following copper chloride induction, in rat liver following dexamethasone induction, and in mouse liver following copper...

Background and Objective: Stridor is considered as a serious adverse complication of intubation that may lead to respiratory distress, reintubation, and further complications. Intravenous steroids including dexamethasone are assumed as an effective therapy. However, their associated side effects pose a limit on their usage. This study was carried out to elucidate the effect of intravenous dexam...
متن کاملEffect of fluorometholone (FML) on the intraocular pressure of corticosteroid responders.
Steroid responsiveness to dexamethasone was determined in a large family with an established dominant form of chronic simple glaucoma. The high and intermediate steroid responders were then tested with fluorometholone--a steroid which is claimed to have a reduced risk of increasing intraocular pressure. It was found that fluorometholone had a much less pronounced ocular hypertensive effect than...

Background: Previous studies have shown a prolonged blockade of nerves using bupivacaine-dexamethasone microspheres. The goal of this study was to assess the effect of subcutaneous dexamethasone added to bupivacaine on post cesarean pain. Methods: After randomization, 75 healthy parturients were allocated into three groups and received the following treatments: group A: bupivacaine 0.25% (20 ml...
