Superwet anesthesia is a method of regional anesthesia for liposuction surgery that uses an evenly distributed, rapidly infused solution under pressure, until tissue blanching and moderate tension are achieved, in a ratio of 0.5 to 1.5 ml per milliliter of injectate to lipoaspirate. It is accompanied by systemic anesthesia and supplemented with intravenous hydration. The efficacy of superwet fo...

In this study, an investigate effect of moisture absorption by ranitidine and resinates used to improve stability of ranitidine hydrochloride tablets. Moisture absorption by ranitidine at three different level of relative humidity (RH) has been studied. Percentage of moisture absorption at 22% was low as compared to 57% and 75% RH. To eliminate deliquescent tendency of drug, weak cation-exchang...

The biodosimetric information is critical for assessment of cancer risk in populations exposed to high radon. However, no tools are available for biological dose estimation following radon exposure. Here, we established a γ-H2AX foci-based assay to determine biological dose to red bone marrow (RBM) in radon-inhaled rats. After 1-3 h of in vitro radon exposure, a specific pattern of γ-H2AX foci,...

BACKGROUND Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) is absorbed during pneumoperitoneum and may cause adverse haemodynamic effects. The aim of this study was to measure the elimination of exogenous CO(2) during laparoscopy in children. METHODS Ten children [27.6 (56.5) months; mean (SD)] undergoing laparoscopic and nine [24.5 (17.3) months] undergoing open surgery were studied. Breath samples were collected at...

1. The feasibility of improving iron nutrition by fortifying cane sugar with Fe and ascorbic acid was studied. 2. It was found to be possible to add a number of Fe salts together with ascorbic acid to sugar without affecting its appearance or storage properties. 3. The absorption of Fe from fortified sugar eaten with maize-meal porridge or made into jam or biscuits was measured in ninety-four v...

Current clinical experience in radiation therapy is based upon dose computations that report the absorbed dose to water, even though the patient is not made of water but of many different types of tissue. While Monte Carlo dose calculation algorithms have the potential for higher dose accuracy, they usually transport particles in and compute the absorbed dose to the patient media such as soft t...

Introduction: Recently, 166Ho-BPAMD was introduced as a suitable agent for bone marrow ablation. The aim of this study was to estimate the absorbed dose of this novel agent in the human organs which is necessary before the clinical application. Methods: 166Ho was produced by direct irradiation of 165Ho in the research reactor. 250 µg...

PURPOSE The aim was to investigate whole-body and red marrow absorbed doses in treatments of neuroblastoma (NB) and adult neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine and to propose a simple method for determining the activity to administer when dosimetric data for the individual patient are not available. METHODS Nine NB patients and six NET patients were included, giving...
