Experiments in monkeys have demonstrated that the chronic vasospasm and arterial injury reaction produced by subarachnoid blood injection can be prevented by treatment with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor phthalazinol. This protective effect, which is present even when the drug treatment is initiated after the subarachnoid blood injection, is presumed to occur because of the platelet inhibiting...

Accidental intra-arterial injection as a consequence of drug misuse has been described in both the upper and lower limbs. We present a case in which a drug abuser injected heroin into his femoral artery. This resulted in necrosis of the femoral artery requiring an autologous graft. A life threatening haemorrhage necessitated ligation of the common femoral artery. His limb survived.

BACKGROUND The main disadvantage of rocuronium is the pain associated with vascular injection. We evaluated the efficacy of palonosetron for reducing pain after rocuronium injection. METHODS EIGHTY PATIENTS SCHEDULED FOR ELECTIVE SURGERY WERE RANDOMLY DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS: Group C (normal saline 1.5 ml, n = 40) and Group P (palonosetron 0.075 mg, n = 40). Anesthesia was induced with thiope...

Objective- This study aims to determine the efficacy of propofol in grass carp anesthesia and to examine the impact of the drug on electrocardiogram, pH and blood gases in this fish species. Design- Experimental study. Animals- 120 apparently healthy grass carps, weighting between 1-2 kg. Procedure- Fishes were sorted randomly into 12 groups of 10 fish each. Five groups were anesthetized by bat...
