Objectives: To compare the effects of different labor analgesia in controlling childbirth pain and seek more effective and reliable pain management strategy during natural childbirth in order to reduce maternal pain and promote natural childbirth. Methods: 400 cases of successful delivery with labor analgesia in our hospital during 2010 and 2014 were enrolled in this study, including 200 cases ...

Rosemary oil is one of the more famous essential oils widely used in aroma-therapy. However, the effects of rosemary oil on the human body, in particular the nervous system, have not been sufficiently studied. This study investigates the effects of the inhalation of rosemary oil on test subjects' feelings, as well as its effects on various physiological parameters of the nervous system. Twenty ...

Context Periodontal surgical procedures produce varying degree of stress in all patients. Nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation sedation is very effective for adult patients with mild-to-moderate anxiety due to dental procedures and needle phobia. Aim The present study was designed to perform periodontal surgical procedures under nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation sedation and assess whether this tech...

The deposition efficiency of unsteady inhalation is investigated in present study by using computational fluid dynamics techniques. Comparison with steady inhalation is also discussed. The inspiratory cycle of a realistic unsteady inhalation profile was applied at the outlet of nasopharynx, which has the maximum flow rate of 40.3L/min. Aerodynamic particle sizes of 5μm and 20μm were studied in ...

Inhalation injury greatly increases the incidence of respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome. It is also the cause of most early deaths in burn victims. The aim of this research is to study the incidence, early diagnosis, complications, and management of inhalation injury and to discuss the relationship between inhalation injury and death in burn patients. The study included...

The manner in which a cigarette is smoked varies considerably between individuals and may be an important determinant of the altered bronchial reactivity observed in cigarette smokers. Twenty smokers were examined to determine the relationship between cigarette smoke inhalation patterns and bronchial reactivity. Inhalation patterns were measured non-invasively with a respiratory inductive pleth...

The long-term safety of budesonide/formoterol (BUD/FM) inhalation has not been fully evaluated, particularly in elderly patients with bronchial asthma. To evaluate the 12-month safety of BUD/FM inhalation for elderly asthmatic patients, the changes in serum potassium levels and pulse rate were examined. A retrospective chart review was conducted of consecutive patients who were treated with BUD...
