Background and Aims: Diabetes is one of the most important endocrine disrupters and is associated with various hormones, including those that can lead to diabetes. Glucocorticoid use may lead to insulin resistance. Dexamethasone is one of these glucocorticoid compounds. Glutamate dehydrogenase plays a key role in the production of glutamate in the secretion of insulin. Based on these hormonal i...

background and aims: laryngospasm and vomiting occurring after tracheal extubation in children is potentially dangerous. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preoperative 0.5 mg/kg i.v. dexamethasone on the incidence of postextubation laryngospasm, and vomiting in children after tonsillectomy.material and methods : this study was performed at the ilam imam khomeini hospital, ...

we present a case of unexpectedly prolonged motor and sensory block following a successful single injection ultrasound – guided infraclavicular block with bupivacaine (0.25%) and dexamethasone (8 mg). ultrasound guidance and safety measurement such as injection of the local anaesthetic at a slow rate and verifying that usual resistance was felt throughout the injection, has been applied. it too...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is primarily transmitted through the eyes, nose, or mouth. Ophthalmic complications, such as conjunctivitis and dacryoadenitis, have been reported in patients with disease 19 (COVID-19). We report case of an early adolescent girl who presented bilateral urticarial rashes, eyelid edema, fever, cough. She was diagnosed dacryoadenitis SA...

background: laparoscopic gastric plication (lgp) is a technique in the restrictive category of bariatric procedures that reduces the gastric volume. nausea and vomiting are the most common complications after this procedure. the goal of this research is to determine the preventive effective dose of promethazine on postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparascopic gastric placation methods: a...

BACKGROUND The role of cortisol and its increased action/availability is implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome but the mechanism of increased action/availability is not known. Availability of several other lipophilic hormones, drugs and pollutants are also reported to be increased in obesity. Increased lipids in the circulation are r...

BACKGROUND Sore throat and hoarseness are common complications after general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. The position for patients can affect the incidence of postoperative sore throat (POST) by causing displacement of the endotracheal tube. This study investigated the prophylactic effect of dexamethasone in prone position surgeries. METHODS One hundred-fifty patients undergoing lumb...

The importance of corticosteroids in the therapy COVID-19 has been controversial. However, as world develops a better understanding regarding pathophysiology COVID-19, we are realizing that suppressing host immune response may reduce lung inflammation preventing further complications. In addition, more high-quality randomized controlled trials, meta-analysis, and review articles being published...

: Serious, and sometimes, deadly complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are devastating. Whereas most manifestations COVID-19 (fever, dry cough, fatigue, pneumonia), it is getting to be progressively recognized that numerous organ functions can affected this disease, nervous system one them as neurological affect up 36...
