Intraoperative thoracic interfascial plane block with levobupivacaine versus levobupivacaine with dexmedetomidine for postoperative analgesia after modified radical mastectomy: A randomised controlled double-blinded trial.

Background And Aims: Nearly half of the patients following breast cancer surgery experience postoperative pain. The interfascial plane for the pectoral nerve (PECS) block, along with dexmedetomidine, can alleviate this pain.

Methods: After institutional ethics committee clearance and written informed consent, this randomised, double-blind study was conducted on 60, 18-60 years female patients, who were scheduled for modified radical mastectomy (MRM) under general anaesthesia.

Comparison of safety and efficacy of thoracic epidural block and erector spinae plane block for analgesia in patients with multiple rib fractures: A pilot single-blinded, randomised controlled trial.

Background And Aims: Pain associated with rib fractures is challenging to manage. This pilot trial aimed to assess the efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) compared with thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) for controlling pain associated with multiple rib fractures.

Methods: This randomised, single-blinded, controlled pilot study was conducted on trauma patients who had three or more rib fractures and had been admitted at a tertiary care centre.

Comparative Study of Efficacy of Buprenorphine and Fentanyl on Attenuation of Hemodynamic Changes to Laryngoscopy and Intubation: A Prospective, Randomized Double-Blind Study.

Background: Hemodynamic changes are the most common predicted response after laryngoscopy and intubation during general anesthesia. We compared the efficacy of buprenorphine with fentanyl to attenuate this stress response.

Methods: One hundred and thirty patients of either sex between the age group of 18-70 years, admitted for the routine surgical procedure under general anesthesia were enrolled in this double blind, randomized, clinical study.

Esthetic and Palliative Management of Congenitally Missing Anterior Teeth using All Ceramic Fixed Prosthesis: A Clinical Case Report.

Congenitally missing anterior teeth alters the patient's physiognomy and diction in a big way. Maxillary incisor agenesis, prominently the lateral incisor is the most common congenitally missing permanent tooth, in the anterior maxillary region, which is the esthetic zone, representing approximately 20% of all dental anomalies. Treatment planning is inclusive of; smile design, preparation, perception of the patients, and their expectations in relation to esthetics, interdisciplinary alliance that meets the functional, health, and esthetic needs.
