Article Synopsis
  • Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors have a heightened risk of cardiovascular issues, so identifying vascular health problems early is crucial for better long-term outcomes.
  • A study compared 100 ALL survivors with 80 healthy controls, measuring factors like serum endocan levels and common carotid artery thickness to assess endothelial dysfunction.
  • Results showed that ALL survivors had significantly higher levels of serum endocan and carotid intima-media thickness, indicating increased risk for cardiovascular complications and potential premature atherosclerosis.

Background And Objectives: A multimodal approach to postcesarean pain management may enhance analgesia and reduce side effects after surgery. This study evaluates the postoperative analgesic effects of propacetamol and/or diclofenac in parturients undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia.

Methods: After randomization, 80 healthy parturients received the following: placebo (group M), 100 mg diclofenac rectally every 8 hours (group MD), 2 g propacetamol intravenously every 6 hours (group MP), or a combination of 2 g propacetamol and 100 mg diclofenac (group MDP) as described above.

This investigation was carried out to determine the effects of bursectomy on in vitro response of adrenal glands to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and testes to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in immature male chickens. One-day-old Single Comb White Leghorn male chicks were surgically bursectomized (BSX). Sham-operated (sham) chicks were used as controls.
