A Comparative Study of the Effect of Labetalol and Remifentanil on Pain Control After Bariatric Surgery.

Background: Finding the optimal combination of anesthetics to maintain hemodynamic stability during surgery can be challenging. Traditionally, strong opioid analgesics such as fentanyl and its newer analogs have been used. However, the use of narcotics is associated with certain side effects.

Comparison of Perioperative Pregabalin and Duloxetine for Pain Management After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Double-Blind Clinical Trial.

Background: Chronic residual pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the challenges of postoperative pain management. Duloxetine, by controlling neuropathic pain, and pregabalin, by affecting nociceptors, can effectively manage postoperative pain.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effect of perioperative oral duloxetine and pregabalin in pain management after knee arthroplasty.

Serum Beta-Trace Protein for Assessment of Kidney Function in Neonates.

Introduction: Compared to the conventional methods, serum beta-trace protein (BTP) has been shown to be more helpful for estimating glomerular filtration rate; however, its value is remained unclear in neonates. The present study aimed to investigate the range of serum BTP level in healthy term neonates and its value to estimate glomerular filtration rate.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 healthy term neonates without underlying cardiovascular or kidney disorders who were admitted to Ali Asghar hospital in 2013.
