DESCRIPTION A 93-year-old man presented with gross haematuria for 1 month. The urine analysis showed numerous RBCs in microscopy. The renal function was normal and urine cytology revealed nothing. Tracing the patient’s history it was found that he had received radical prostatectomy 20 years ago, but he denied any other trauma or surgery history. An indwelling catheter followed by normal saline ...

objective: the goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intraperitoneal (jp) cisplatin as consolidation treatment, in epithelial ovarian cancer patients with pathologically negative surgical reassessment, following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. methods: this study included 22 patients with figo stage (iic- iv) epithelial ovarian cancer (eoc) which had no evidence of disease a...

we reviewed 55 cases with trauma to the urinary bladder. blunt trauma was the cause of injury in 78 percent of cases and associated pelvic fracture was present in 75 percent. eighty percent of extraperitoneal ruptures were associated with fracture of the pelvis. the most common cause of trauma was car accident (63%), followed by war injury (20%). nearly two-thirds of patients (63 %) had extrape...

results sixty patients completed the study. patients in the hydrocortisone group had no statistically significant abdominal and shoulder pain scores compared to the bupivacaine group. the patients were similar regarding postoperative analgesic requirements, return of bowel function, nausea and vomiting. no adverse effect was detected in either group. background postoperative pain is a major com...

background: this randomized controlled study was designed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of intraperitoneal ketamine versus bupivacaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. methods: we randomly divided 60 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy into two groups. the intervention group patients received intraperitoneal ketamine (0.5 mg/ kg) dilut...

conclusions we conclude that intraperitoneal hydrocortisone instillation caused leukocytosis and is thus suggested not to be used in immune-compromised patients. results the study was completed by 120 patients. patients who received intraperitoneal hydrocortisone and hydrocortisone plus bupivacaine had higher white blood cell (wbc) count (p < 0.0001). the patients were similar with respect to d...

This report describes a rare case of an 86-year-old man with an indwelling urethral catheter who developed severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with intraperitoneal urinary bladder perforation. A home-visiting nurse suspected catheter obstruction and performed a catheter exchange. However, bladder irrigation could not subsequently be performed. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis a...

Objective: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare, chronic, relapsing, diagnostically challenging, and poorly understood disease characterized by disseminated mucinous ascites and peritoneal implants. PMP usually develops secondary to mucinous neoplasms of the appendix and/or the ovary. Only few reports of limited PMP were published. Case Report: We describe the case of a 53-year-old woman who ...

background: the intraperitoneal injection is a common method for establishing the experimental animal model infected with parasites. the aim of this study was to investigate if the intraperitoneal injection was another route of trichinella spiralis infection. methods:  from june to july 2015, twenty balb/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with 300 t. spiralis muscle larvae in department of ...

the objective of this study was to evaluate several drug combinations for intraperitoneal anaesthesia in laboratory rats. following dose determination of anaesthetics in a pilot study, 45 healthy adult male rats were randomly assigned in 9 treatment groups and received propofol (alone or in combination with xylazine, midazolam, or ketamine) or ketamine (in combination with xylazine, midazolam, ...
