Background: Hydrocortisone showed an important role in reversal of shock when added to standard therapy in managing septic shock. Hyperglycemia is one of the most common side effects associated with corticosteroid treatment.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the risk of hyperglycemia of intermittent hydrocortisone boluses versus continuous infusion in septic shock patients.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine versus clonidine as additives to ropivacaine for postoperative pain relief after upper limb surgery via a supraclavicular brachial plexus block, noting that dexmedetomidine is a more selective alpha-2 receptor agonist.
- - Eighty patients were randomly assigned to two groups, one receiving clonidine and the other dexmedetomidine along with ropivacaine, to compare the duration of pain relief and onset of sensory block.
- - Results showed that the group receiving dexmedetomidine experienced significantly longer pain relief and quicker sensory block onset compared to the clonidine group.
Background: Ketamine and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to caudal block are used in the pediatric population.
Aims: We aimed to compare the analgesic and safety profile of dexmedetomidine with ketamine for single-shot caudal block.
Settings And Design: This was a randomized controlled study conducted in a tertiary care university hospital.
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a systemic disease with bidirectional relationships with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a more severe subtype of NAFLD. Patients with NASH exhibit more intra and extrahepatic inflammation, procoagulant imbalances and proatherogenic lipid profiles.
