Objective: Aim: To assess the effectiveness of local anesthesia in the treatment of acute forms of caries, pulpitis, and periodontitis in adolescents with a high level of baseline anxiety.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: 1.7 ml of local amide anesthetic from the articaine series was used. The assessment of anxiety was carried out according to the method of Ch.D. Spielberger - Y.L. Khanina). Pain intensity was measured on the VAS scale. Statistical data processing was carried out in the program "MS Excel 7" Windows and "STATISTICA" v. 6.0.

Results: Results: Complete pain relief was observed during anesthesia in 5.0% (4 cases) after 10 minutes and in 56.9% (45 cases) after 15 minutes for acute medium caries; in 3.9% (5 cases) after 5 minutes, in 19.6% (25 cases) after 10 minutes, and in 43.8% (56 cases) after 15 minutes for acute deep caries; in 29.0% (18 cases) after 10 minutes and in 45.2% (28 cases) after 15 minutes for acute pulpitis; and in 34.8% (8 cases) after 10 minutes and in 65.1% (15 cases) after 15 minutes for acute periodontitis.

Conclusion: Conclusions: The reduction in pain syndrome during the treatment of acute forms of medium and deep caries, pulpitis, and periodontitis was significant compared to premanipulation values (p<0.05). Complete pain relief was observed during anesthesia in 5.0% (4 cases) after 10 minutes and in 56.9% (45 cases) after 15 minutes for acute medium caries; in 3.9% (5 cases) after 5 minutes, in 19.6% (25 cases) after 10 minutes, and in 43.8% (56 cases) after 15 minutes for acute deep caries; in 29.0% (18 cases) after 10 minutes and in 45.2% (28 cases) after 15 minutes for acute pulpitis; and in 34.8% (8 cases) after 10 minutes and in 65.1% (15 cases) after 15 minutes for acute periodontitis.

colorectal cancer is a common and serious condition, with surgical resection being the primary treatment for localized cases. Anastomotic dehiscence (AD) remains a significant postoperative complication, and anastomoses are typically created using either manual suturing or mechanical stapling, each with specific benefits and challenge. Material and this retrospective study analyzed outcomes in 100 rectal cancer patients who underwent surgical resection, with anastomoses performed via manual suturing (n=50) or mechanical stapling (n=50).

Background & objectives Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most prevalent healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). They cause significant morbidity, leading to excess health expenditures and increased length of hospital stay. Despite a high population burden, data on post-discharge SSIs is lacking from low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a standard minimally invasive technique for the treatment in gallstone disease. In difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomies, bailout strategies have been developed of which the fundus-first technique is one. The present study aims to compare the outcomes of the fundus-first technique against the standard laparoscopic approach in managing difficult cholecystectomy cases by focusing on intraoperative factors such as bleeding, bile duct injury, operative time, and postoperative complications like biliary leakage.

Effect of Corticosteroid Premedication on Adrenal Vein Sampling in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism and Iodinated Contrast Allergy.

J Vasc Interv Radiol

December 2024

Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, Metabolism and Nutrition, Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of corticosteroid premedication on the performance of adrenal vein sampling (AVS) in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and allergy to iodinated contrast media (ICM).

Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent AVS for PA, between September 1990 and October 2023, were retrospectively identified. Patients with ICM allergy who received corticosteroid pre-medication were matched 1:1 with patients without contrast allergy.
