Background: Vagal nerve denervation during the heart transplant procedure results in higher resting heart rates in these recipients compared to the general population. Relative bradycardia (RB) is a common and often temporary post-operative complication that can be managed with agents like terbutaline; however, little data exist on the efficacy, safety, and necessity of long-term terbutaline use post-heart transplant.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, descriptive study conducted at a large academic medical center investigating oral terbutaline use for RB management in heart transplant recipients.

Oral bioavailability of nebivolol (NEB), a highly-selective β1-adrenergic receptor antagonist specially used in hypertension treatment, is limited by its low aqueous solubility. In this work we investigated the possibility of developing a new effective oral formulation of NEB by exploiting a combined strategy based on NEB complexation with hydroxypropyl-βCyclodextrin (HPβCD) and complex incorporation into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). Solubility studies enabled to choose Imwitor 491 and 988 as solid lipids for SLN preparation.

Aim: To evaluate tramadol hydrochloride, an atypical opioid with potential analgesic properties, as a viable alternative to lignocaine hydrochloride in supraperiosteal anesthesia for dental implants.
Materials And Methods: A split-mouth, double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted in patients requiring maxillary dental implants. Patients meeting inclusion criteria received either 5% tramadol hydrochloride with adrenaline or 2% lignocaine hydrochloride with adrenaline via supraperiosteal infiltration.
