Extended Perineural Analgesia After Hip and Knee Replacement When Buprenorphine-Clonidine-Dexamethasone Is Added to Bupivacaine: Preliminary Report from a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: We tested the hypothesis that buprenorphine-clonidine-dexamethasone (BCD) extends perineural analgesia compared with plain bupivacaine (BPV) nerve blocks used for hip and knee replacement surgery.

Design: Prospective, parallel-arms, randomized, double-blind trial.

Setting: A single veterans' hospital.

Perioperative clinical utility of myocardial deformation imaging: a narrative review.

Preoperative cardiac function is an important predictor of postoperative outcomes. Patients with heart failure are at higher risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Left ventricular ejection fraction, derived by standard echocardiography, is most frequently used to assess cardiac function in the intraoperative and postoperative periods.

Scutellarein antagonizes the tumorigenesis by modulating cytokine VEGF mediated neoangiogenesis and DFF-40 actuated nucleosomal degradation.

Neoplastic cells often reside in distinctive tumor hypoxia armed with a series of adaptive responses including oxidative stress, defective apoptotic machinery and neoangiogenesis, through that further confer cell survival improvement. Plants still acts as reservoir of natural chemicals to provide newer active pharmacophores. Scutellarein is flavones which has wide range of pharmacophoral effects.
