Intrathecal magnesium sulphate as an adjuvant to bupivacaine for infraumbilical surgeries: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Intrathecal anaesthesia is widely used for infraumbilical surgeries due to its effectiveness in providing pain relief during and after the operation. Adding magnesium sulphate (MgSO) to intrathecal local anaesthetics can prolong analgesia, reduce postoperative analgesic requirements and improve the management of shivering perioperatively. This review aims to investigate the use of intrathecal adjuvant MgSO4 for anaesthesia in infraumbilical surgeries.

Magnesium sulfate for postoperative pain in orthopedic surgery: A narrative review.

Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) is a widely used adjuvant in anesthesia. Often administered with local anesthetics, it is known to reduce analgesic and opioid consumption while extending the duration of analgesia. MgSO4 applications extend to orthopedic surgeries, cardiovascular and urogenital procedures, offering extended postoperative pain relief.

Assessing the prevalence and patterns of COVID-19 vaccine side effects among Syrian adults: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and patterns of COVID-19 vaccine side effects among Syrian adults, with a focus on the AstraZeneca and Sputnik Light vaccines, in light of the low vaccination rate in Syria (below 18%) attributed to fear of side effects.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May 2022, using probability-based and convenient sampling strategies. Data was collected through online, paper, and face-to-face questionnaires that included demographic and vaccine-related questions.
