A combination of metoclopramide, dexamethasone, droperidol, lorazepam, and diphenhydramine was used in prophylaxis of high-dose (greater than or equal to 100 mg/m2) or moderate dose (greater than or equal to 50 mg/m2) cisplatin. Sixty minutes prior to starting cisplatin, 16 mg dexamethasone, 50 mg
A double-blind randomized crossover study was performed in 56 chemotherapy-naive patients, all receiving non-cisplatin-based chemotherapy, to compare the antiemetic effects of 2 doses of a single administration of methylprednisolone succinate (Solu-Medrol): 250 versus 500 mg. Among the 39 patients
Tetracosactide is known to be used in brain tumours, but its action is difficult to evaluate clearly. Tetracosactide exerts analgesic, anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory effects and it reduces the oedema surrounding brain tumours. It is this latter effect which we have studied. We used a
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of gemcitabine at higher doses than had been used previously in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODS
Eighty-four patients (65 men, 19 women; age range, 35 to 75 years; mean age, 59 years) with locally
BACKGROUND
Pain on injection is a recognized adverse event (AE) with propofol, an agent used to induce general anesthesia in surgical patients. Lidocame (LID) has been found efficacious in reducing pain on injection of propofol; however, this type of pain may not be completely eliminated with LID.

This report describes an incident of limb swelling after revaccination with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). A 5-year old female with sickle cell disease experienced severe arm swelling with edema to the extent that it was difficult to put a shirt over the arm.
The fruits of Foeniculum vulgare (Foeniculi Fructus) have been widely used in Chinese medicine as an antiemetic, ameliorating stomach ailments and as an analgesic. In order to establish its potential for antiallergic use, inhibitory actions of the fruiton 5-lipoxgenase (5-LOX) and β-hexosaminidase
To describe the treatment and clinical course of a dog accidentally prescribed 10 times the recommended dose of colchicine (0.3 mg/kg/d instead of 0.03 mg/kg/d).After glaucoma surgery, a 1-year-old male neutered Pomeranian weighing 6.8 kg was prescribed BACKGROUND
The presence of midline shift on neuroradiologic studies in brain tumor patients represents mass effect from the tumor and surrounding edema. We hypothesized that baseline cerebral edema as measured by midline shift would increase postoperative nausea (PON). We studied the incidence of
Sixty-eight breast cancer patients for outpatient adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) with cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (CMF) on a 1-day schedule entered a randomized trial comparing the antiemetic-efficacy of different doses of methylprednisolone (MPN). Treatment was administered
The debate over colloid versus crystalloid as the best solution for intraoperative fluid resuscitation is not resolved. Published studies have shown that mortality is not related to the specific fluid used for resuscitation. In addition, the quality of postoperative recovery between colloid and

The aim of this study was to compare anesthetic and surgical outcomes of external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) under loco-regional anesthesia (LA) versus general anesthesia (GA).

OBJECTIVE
For decades, anesthesiologists and surgeons have prophylactically provided 'stress steroids' to patients with presumed adrenocortical suppression. Other indications for glucocorticoids have included the suppression of cerebral or airway edema, the inhibition of systemic inflammatory
The effects of transdermal iontophoresis (IP) codelivery of hydrocortisone (HC) on metoclopramide hydrochloride (MCP) pharmacokinetics and on skin-induced reactions were evaluated in a randomized, crossover clinical study. MCP, an antiemetic, low molecular weight, cationic drug intended for systemic
BACKGROUND
It was demonstrated that there are many complications following cervicofacial rhytidectomy, such as hematoma, edema, seromas, ecchymosis, nerve injury, hypertrophic scarring, contour irregularities, infection, nausea, vomiting, and so on. Accordingly, there is a lot of reports about the
