INTRODUCTION:
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has lower short-term morbidity and mortality than open surgery. Intra-arterial contrast agents are an important component of successful EVAR as the tool of choice for preoperative evaluation of aortic aneurysm morphology as well as precise sizing and
Currently approximately 240 million surgical procedures are done worldwide on a yearly basis. lnguinal hernia repair is one of the most performed surgeries in ambulatory setting. Despite currently available analgesic drugs, post surgical pain management remains challenging in this group of patients,
This study will determine if modulating reduction/oxidation (redox) status through a temporary increase in the blood ratio of reduced-to-oxidized glutathione (i.e., GSH/GSSG) will increase carotid body chemosensitivity and thus increase ventilation and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) during 32
In this study the investigators test the following hypotheses:
1. NAC causes dose-dependent vasodilatation associated with histamine release in vivo.
2. Release of other mediators, known to be associated with anaphylaxis, does not occur during anaphylactoid reactions to NAC.
3. Paracetamol has a
Paracetamol is the commonest poison seen in the United Kingdom and is present in approximately 40% of patients admitted with self harm. Current treatment involves use of the antidote acetylcysteine in patients deemed at risk of potential liver damage. This is given by intravenous infusion over a
Material abuse nowadays become a serious public health issue, among these, abusing of opioids is the most serious one. It cause HIV infection rate hiking up, recent years in Taiwan, it impairing people health as well. The successive 2 year methadone substitutive abstaining program makes HIV
In this study we will test the hypothesis that acetylcysteine exerts a renoprotective effect in RCIN by an antioxidant and/or renal vasodilator mechanism.
We will take a structured 4-part approach, using randomised controlled cross-over studies to assess the effect of acetylcysteine on renal
Background
Renal impairment following cardiopulmonary bypass is common. 11.4% (1) to 42% (2) of patients with previously normal renal function show a postoperative rise in serum creatinine. While most of these patients do not require either short or long term renal replacement, the mortality of
