The impact of anesthesia on glycine absorption in operative hysteroscopy: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Operative hysteroscopy requires the use of a distension medium and its absorption can lead to serious consequences from intravascular volume overload and water intoxication. We compared the impact of 2 types of anesthesia (general anesthesia and local anesthesia with sedation) on the absorption of glycine solution in operative hysteroscopy.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted over a 17-month period.

Glycine absorption in operative hysteroscopy: the impact of anesthesia.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of anesthesia on the absorption of glycine in operative hysteroscopy.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study was performed over 2 years. The absorption of glycine was compared among general anesthesia, local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, and spinal anesthesia.

Influence of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL) on the viability of osteoblastic cells.

Cardiovascular diseases have recently been noted as potential risk factors for osteoporosis development. Although it is poorly understood how these two pathologies are related, it is a known fact that oxidized low-density lipoproteins (OxLDL) constitute potential determinants for both of them. The current study investigated the metabolism of OxLDL by osteoblasts and its effect on osteoblastic viability.
