This study evaluates the management of subjects with Standard of Care (SOC) when admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) with hyperkalemia (potassium value ≥ 5.5 mmol/L). If the initial SOC potassium value is suspect, a second confirmatory SOC sample should be obtained and must be ≥ 5.5 mmol/L to
More than 1500 laparoscopic abdominal gynaecological surgeries are performed at our Hospital every year and hence there is a need to provide excellent analgesia and minimize side effects from medications to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) may occur

The study was approved by the ethic committee of Songklanagarind Hospital in Songkhla, Thailand, and was designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. All patients gave their informed consent after receiving written information of the study. Orthopedic patients were invited to
Pulmonary arterial hypertension: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease primarily affecting the small precapillary pulmonary vessels. It is characterized by sustained elevation of the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Without therapy, right heart failure and death eventually occur.
The success of BMT as a curative option for patients with malignancies is frequently limited by the inability to identify an appropriate donor in time for transplantation.
Transplantations utilizing umbilical cord blood stem cells are increasingly successful. Data suggest that there are fewer and
Pediatric patients undergoing EEG studies often require sedation because of failure to stay still during recording of EEG (the difficulty in them obtaining a sleep state on their own during a specific time for the procedure). The ideal sedation agent (for an EEG) should have a rapid onset of action,
