acute renal failure is one of the side effects while using intravenous immunoglobulins. this complication is also observed with iodinated contrast media. herein, we describe a patient with acute renal failure who received intravenous immunoglobulins and iodinated contrast media concomitantly. both drugs are responsible for osmotic nephrosis. the same effect on renal cells may explain a synergis...

introduction: ketamine is an agent used broadly for pediatric procedural sedation and analgesia in emergency departments. it has been found to be safe and with a low risk of complications. as choosing between intravenous (iv) and intramuscular (im) injections is a matter of concern, we did comparison between two methods in terms of their efficacy and the rate of complications. methods: this sin...
