Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Procalcitonin as Prognostic Biomarker in Patients with Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Complicated with Vitamin D Deficiency.
Iran J Pharm Res
January 2017
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common and serious problem that develops after more than 48 h of mechanical ventilation. Improving the activity of immune system with vitamin D, and its consequent impact on prognostic biomarkers of VAP was studied in the current study. A randomized double blind placebo controlled clinical trial was designed.

Objectives: Pain relief properties of ketamine prescription were assessed in women with elective cesarean section who underwent spinal anesthesia with low dose intravenous ketamine and midazolam and intravenous midazolam alone.
Patients And Methods: Sixty pregnant women scheduled for spinal anesthesia for cesarean section were randomized into two study groups.
Purpose: To compare the erectile effect of propofol and halothane on unwanted intraoperative penile erection (UIOPE) during pediatric hypospadiasis repair.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and seventeen boys who were in the age range of 6 months to 6 years and referred for hypospadiasis repair to our referral teaching hospital were included in this randomized clinical trial. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the two study groups before anesthesia induction.
Article Synopsis
- Core decompression (CD) is an effective early treatment for avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, aimed at patients diagnosed using X-Ray and MRI.
- A study involving 25 patients (68% female, average age about 30 years) explored the effectiveness of CD, revealing that those with collagen vascular diseases responded better than those who had previously used intravenous Temgesic.
- Results showed that CD was significantly more beneficial for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and kidney transplants; however, those using Temgesic experienced continued progression of AVN despite the treatment.
Background: Acid suppressive medications are used to prevent stress ulcers in critically ill patients. Few studies have been done to evaluate the effect of ranitidine and pantoprazole on stress ulcers. We aimed to compare the effects of ranitidine and pantoprazole on Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP).

Methods: This was a prospective, randomized double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial involving 120 ASA I-II patients aging 20-50 years, undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery with general anesthesia.
Background: Although the therapeutic effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on major depressive disorder is widely investigated, there is a gap in literature regarding the possible effects of the medications used for induction of anesthesia in ECT. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first randomized double-blind clinical trial comparing the effect of etomidate and sodium thiopental on the depression symptoms in patients who have received ECT.
Methods: The participants of this study are 60 adult patients with major depressive disorder who were referred for ECT.
Background: We conducted this study to compare the outcome of assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures and recovery from anesthesia in women who received opioid analgesia with remifentanil versus fentanyl.
Materials And Methods: This double-blind, randomized clinical trial was carried out in the Yazd Research and Clinical Center for Infertility, Yazd, Iran. We studied 145 women who were participants in an ART program.
