BACKGROUND Paravertebral analgesia is useful for breast surgery. Patient controlled analgesia by IV or epidural routes is well established for delivering postoperative analgesia. Our objective was to apply patient control to paravertebral analgesia and evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of two distinct dosing regimens. METHODS Patients undergoing major breast cancer surgery were recruited...

In this paper, existence and uniqueness of solution to two-point boundary value for two-sided fractional differential equations involving Caputo fractional derivative is discussed, by means of the Min-Max Theorem.

OBJECTIVE The study investigated the feasibility and potential outcome measures during acute hyperoxia in type 2 diabetes patients (DM2). METHODS Eleven DM2 patients (7 men and 4 women) were included in the study. The patients cycled (30 min at 20% Wmax) whilst breathing three different supplemental oxygen flows (SOF, 5, 10, 15 L min(-1)). During hyperoxic exercise, arterial blood gases and i...

CONTEXT Motoneuron-pool facilitation after cryotherapy may be mediated by stimulation of thermoreceptors surrounding a joint. It is unknown whether menthol counterirritants, which also stimulate thermoreceptors, have the same effect on motoneuron-pool excitability (MNPE). OBJECTIVE To compare quadriceps MNPE after a menthol-counterirritant application to the anterior knee, a sham counterirrit...
