Rn and Ra concentrations in selected shallow circulation groundwaters from the Fore-Sudetic Monocline area.

Natural radioactive isotopes occur in various components of the natural environment, including groundwater. The general population, not always aware of possible threats, can use its resources. The activity concentration of some of the radioactive isotopes should be monitored, especially in those intakes from which it is possible to obtain water for human consumption, e.

The Effects of Gabapentin on Post-Operative Pain and Anxiety, Morphine Consumption and Patient Satisfaction in Paediatric Patients Following the Ravitch Procedure-A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 4 Trial.

The aim of the study was to investigate whether the use of pre- and postoperative gabapentin can decrease postoperative pain, morphine consumption, anxiety and side effects, as well as improve patient satisfaction. A total of 56 patients, 9−17 years of age, undergoing a modified Ravitch procedure, were randomised (allocation ratio 1:1) to receive multiple perioperative doses of gabapentin (preoperatively 15 mg/kg, postoperatively 7.5 mg/kg, two times per day for three days) or a placebo.

Perioperative Gabapentin in Pediatric Thoracic Surgery Patients-Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 4 Trial.

Design: Randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 4 trial.

Blinding: Participants, care providers, investigators, data analysts.

Is gall-bladder polyp equivalent to cancer? An analysis of material from 1196 cholecystectomies--a comparison of the ultrasound and histopathological results.

Unlabelled: Polyps of the gall-bladder has long been a serious diagnostic problem. Their detection in routine ultrasound is not yet satisfactory and often does not allow you to select the proper method of operating the gall-bladder. The aim of the study was to assess the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis of polypoid lesions of the gall-bladder through its verification by histopathology in patients treated with cholecystectomy.
