Article Synopsis
- Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used in emergency centers for patients with acute poisoning, but complications related to their use have not been thoroughly studied.
- A cross-sectional study reviewed the medical records of 400 patients with acute poisoning who underwent CVC placement between 2014 and 2019, revealing a complication rate of 13.75% overall.
- The internal jugular vein approach had the highest complication rate (20.7%), particularly for infections and pneumothorax, while the subclavian approach was linked to a higher incidence of arterial puncture.
Background: Spinal anesthesia (SA) for the surgical management of chronic anal fissures is favored by surgeons as it provides an early return to daily activities; however, the agents applied for SA to achieve the best outcomes with minimized adverse effects are a matter of debate.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the utility of Marcaine versus meperidine for SA induction of anoderm surgery.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial (RCT) was conducted on 138 patients with chronic anal fissures who were candidates for surgical management in 2020.
Gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations of lead poisoning include abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Depending on the severity of a symptom, surgical consultation is required.

Here, in the current study, we aimed to compare the results of TEP hernia repair surgery in the two groups of general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia.
Materials And Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial that was performed in 2018-2019 in Isfahan on 106 patients undergoing TEP inguinal hernia repair.
Background: Kiwifruit (Actindia Deliciosa) is demonstrated to have antibacterial and pro-angiogenic effects. It also contains proteolytic enzymes (actinidin) and ascorbic acid. In this study, the effects of Kiwifruit on neuropathic diabetic foot ulcer healing in clinical settings were evaluated.
