The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ropivacaine in post-operative pain management in these children. Materials and Methods: This study is a Randomized control study on 140 patients between 4 - 12 years of age, in whom tonsillectomy was performed in a ...

objective: type 2 diabetes is associated with elevated oxidative stress and decline in antioxidant defense. vitamin e supplementation reduces oxidative stress level in diabetic pa-tients. purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin e supplementation on glycemic control and lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients. material and methods: in this study 31 type 2 diabetic patients ...

W e thank Wong et al. (1) for their interest in our study (2) in which we showed that retinal vessels in diabetic patients with increasing stages of diabetic retinopathy experience a continuously decreasing response to flickering light. We believe that the issue raised by Wong et al. is very important. The study by Nguyen et al. (3) showed that arteriolar and venular calibers are structurally l...
