When cyclooxygenase (COX)-2–selective inhibitors (coxibs) first entered the market about 5 years ago, the major concern with regard to cardiovascular side effects related to their potential to increase blood pressure and cause salt and water retention, in a manner similar to conventional (nonselective) nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In the short time since, wariness about these s...

Background: Induction of anesthesia in patients that undergo cardiac surgery has more risk than others, because of specific cardiovascular effects of the anesthetic drugs and the preoperative state of these patients, so the hemodynamic stability is very important in these patients. It seems that midazolam have less cardiovascular side effects than thiopentone. In this study, the effects of mid...

background: selection of the best approach for the treatment of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection that encompasses higher eradication and lower failure rates leads to a decline in its related complications and disorders. to understand the relative efficacy of new sequential therapy compared with standard triple therapy as two common regimens, we have performed a randomized, controlled t...

The use of antipsychotics is hindered by the frequent occurrence of metabolic and cardiovascular side effects, resulting in worsened quality of life and greater mortality as a result of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders in schizophrenia patients than the comparable general population. The various antipsychotics induce extrapyramidal symptoms, impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, we...

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) are the competitive inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (cox), the enzyme which mediates the bioconversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory prostaglandins (pgs). their use is associated with the side effects such as gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. the therapeutic anti-inflammatory action of nsaids is produced by the inhibition of cox-2, while the ...

Background: Reduced productivity due to cardiovascular disease in horses known as the third. Today, a number of drugs with different properties for the treatment of cardiovascular disease in horses which used when considering the need for newer drugs and their side effects are felt. Numerous studies on the effects of cardiovascular drugs and their effects have been carried out to examine the ef...

While aspirin may offer protection, other non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause serious cardiovascular side effects and complications. This has led to a general "black box" warning for cardiovascular adverse events for NSAIDs. This review explores the different mechanisms underlying the protective effects of aspirin, the NSAID associated renovascular effects causi...

Paliperidone which is the active metabolite of risperidon is one of the novel antipsychotics. Controlled clinical studies proved its effectiveness on decreasing the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Some studies and case reports, reported its cardiovascular and cardiometabolic side effects. Cardiac tamponade, that may be mortal, wasn't reported as a side effect with paliperidone ...
