Mirtazapine Improves Locomotor Activity and Attenuates Neuropathic Pain Following Spinal Cord Injury in Rats via Neuroinflammation Modulation.

Neuroinflammation-related locomotor deficits and neuropathic pain are expected outcomes of spinal cord injury (SCI). The atypical antidepressant mirtazapine has exhibited potential neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. This research aims to investigate the impacts of mirtazapine on post-SCI neuropathic pain and locomotor recovery, with a particular focus on neuroinflammation.

Comparing the effects of pre-emptive oxycodone, diclofenac, and gabapentin on postoperative pain after tibia fracture surgery: A randomized clinical trail.

Background: Postoperative pain (POP) is one of the most common and most important types of pain.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of pre-emptive oxycodone, diclofenac, and gabapentin on postoperative pain (POP) among patients with tibia fracture surgery.

Materials And Methods: This double-blind three-group randomised controlled trial was conducted in 2023.

Long-term outcomes of converting fused hips to total hip arthroplasty are satisfactory: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Although conversion arthroplasty of fused hips can relieve pain and provide patient satisfaction, long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) after hip fusion remain a subject of debate. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of THA for fused hips over a long period with concerns over potential complications.

Methods: A systematic search of five databases from 2000 until 2023 identified English studies evaluating THA for fused hips with at least 100 months of follow-up.

A survey on the effects of patient safety training programs based on SBAR and FMEA techniques on the level of self-efficacy and observance of patient safety culture in Iran hospital, Shiraz in 2022-2023.

Background And Objective: Patient safety and medical personnel self-efficacy are among the main factors involved in providing quality health services. Moreover, safety culture in an organization is considered one of the most critical factors regarding patients' safety. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effects of patient safety programs based on Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR) and Failure Model Effects Analysis (FMEA) techniques on self-efficacy and patient safety culture in Iran Hospital of Shiraz in 2022-2023.

Effectiveness of Short-term Use of Gabapentin as Pre-emptive Analgesia in Reducing Pain after Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery.

Background: Pain control after thoracoscopy is one of the important issues in patient health care. Pre-emptive analgesia can reduce acute postoperative pain and also prevent chronic pain. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of gabapentin (GABA analog) as pre-emptive analgesia in reducing pain and reducing opiate consumption after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) surgery.

Transcription errors observed in a teaching hospital.

Medication errors are among the most common medical errors in the hospitals. Transcription error is a specific type of medication errors and is due to data entry error that is commonly made by the human operators. This study was designed to detect transcription errors in a teaching hospital in Tehran.
