Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate lidocaine 1.5% adrenaline as an alternative to ropivacaine 0.5% for the echo guided axillary block.
Methode: We conducted a 28-month prospective and randomized study (January 15, 2017 to May 15, 2019) conducted in the anesthesia department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital in Conakry, Guinea.
Results: A total of 38 patients were enrolled: 19 in each group. Their average age was 46 ± 17 years in the lidocaine group compared to 44 ± 20 years in the ropivacaine group. The average time to fix the block in the lidocaine group was 6.8 ± 2.1 minutes compared to 8.3 ± 2.4 minutes in the ropivacaine group (p = 0.04). The average duration of action was 233 ± 57 minutes in the lidocaine group versus 260 ± 74 minutes in the ropivacaine group (p= 0.21). The block efficiency rate was identical in both groups with 89.5% of effective blocks in the lidocaine group and in the ropivacaine group (p =1). The cost of consumables for the lidocaine group was 15 euros compared to 60 euros for the ropivacaine group.
Conclusion: 1.5% adrenaline lidocaine is a good alternative to ropivacaine 0.5% for the production of echoguided axillary blocks in resource-limited countries.

The efficacy of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant as adjuvants to local anesthesia in peribulbar block during cataract surgery.
Sci Rep

Peribulbar anesthesia is mainly used for cataract surgery. Many studies had used atracurium and rocuronium as an additive to the local anesthetic (LA) drugs in eye surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of adding atracurium versus rocuronium to a local anesthetic mixture, in providing an early onset of orbital akinesia and corneal anesthesia during cataract surgery.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fenugreek as an adjuvant in managing oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), specifically leukoplakia, lichen planus, and oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-one participants prediagnosed with OPMDs were randomly divided into a study group (SG) and a control group (CG), with 10 participants in SG and 11 in CG, respectively. The SG received 2 gm of fenugreek as an adjuvant with standard systemic treatments tailored to the respective lesions: intralesional injection of vitamin A 1,00,000 IU (Aquasol A) and topical application of triamcinolone acetonide 0.
Fusidic Acid and Lidocaine-Loaded Electrospun Nanofibers as a Dressing for Accelerated Healing of Infected Wounds.

Introduction: Wound treatment is a significant health burden in any healthcare system, which requires proper management to minimize pain and prevent bacterial infections that can complicate the wound healing process.
Rationale: There is a need to develop innovative therapies to accelerate wound healing cost-effectively. Herein, two polymer-based nanofibrous systems were developed using poly-lactic-co-glycolic-acid (PLGA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) loaded with a combination of an antibiotic (Fusidic acid, FA) and a local anesthetic (Lidocaine, LDC) via electrospinning technique for an expedited healing process by preventing bacterial infections while reducing the pain sensation.
Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation between Conventional Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Gel-based Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in Indirect Pulp Therapy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Indirect pulp treatment (IPT) is often employed in dentistry as a valuable technique for preserving dental vitality. While mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) remains a popular choice, the need for materials with shorter setting times, lower costs, and minimized discoloration concerns has led to the exploration of alternative options.
Aim: To evaluate and compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes of gel-based MTA Kids e-MTA (Kids-e-Dental, Mumbai, India) with MTA (ProRoot MTA, Dentsply Tulsa, Johnson City, TN, USA).
