The effects of adding local infiltration analgesia of the knee to a multimodal pain protocol for total arthroplasty: A matched pair retrospective study.

: We hypothesize that the addition of local infiltration analgesia (LIA) to a multimodal pain protocol will reduce the total amount of opioids consumed for acute pain control post total knee arthrolplasty (TKA). : This study was a retrospective, matched pair study including patients who had primary TKA. All patients included in the analysis had preoperative oral celecoxib and acetaminophen, had single-dose spinal anesthetic with intrathecal morphine, and had intravenous patient-controlled analgesia with an opioid agent in addition to gabapentin and celecoxib in the first 48 h.

[The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygenation in experimental and hemorrhagic shock].

The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO, 2 atm, 1 h, altitude chamber "Irtysh-MT") has been studied in acute experiments on 56 adult dogs with hemorrhagic and traumatic shock. It has been established that HBO has a marked therapeutic effect in hemorrhagic shock, especially in its early period, when almost all the animals are saved from death. In the late period of hemorrhagic shock and in the early period of traumatic shock HBO effect was manifested only in insignificant increase in the animals' survival and lifespan.

[Use of Kenalog-40 in treating degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the locomotor apparatus].

Positive immediate (96%) and long-term (85%) results of treatment of some degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the locomotor system with corticosteroid drug Kenalog-40 allow it to be recommended as an effective medicine especially for deforming arthroses, scapulohumeral periarthritis, epicondylitis when other methods proved to be ineffective.
