Historically, aspiration of gastric contents with subsequent pneumonia was a major cause of anesthesia-related maternal mortality. Before elective Cesarean delivery, gastric fluid can be neutralized with histamine-2 blockers or with oral sodium citrate. Although sodium citrate is commonly
BACKGROUND
A catheter lock solution containing 1.35% taurolidine and 4% citrate could potentially disrupt bacterial surface adherence and consecutive biofilm production due to the anti-adherence properties of taurolidine and the anticlotting and chelator activities of both compounds.

OBJECTIVE
Ovulation dysfunction is one of the most common causes of reproductive failure in infertile couples. The prevalence of this disorder in infertile women is about 30 to 40%. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease that is closely related to ovulation dysfunction and 7% of women of
Oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC) is a novel opioid formulation in which the potent synthetic mu-agonist fentanyl is embedded in a sweetened matrix that is dissolved in the mouth. It is undergoing investigation as a treatment for cancer-related breakthrough pain, a prevalent phenomenon
BACKGROUND
Acute pain, resulting from trauma and other causes, is a common condition that imposes a need for prehospital analgesia on and off the battlefield. The narcotic most frequently used for prehospital analgesia on the battlefield during the past century has been morphine. Intramuscular
BACKGROUND
Oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC; ACTIQ) incorporates fentanyl into a lozenge allowing drug delivery through the oral mucosa resulting in rapid pain relief. OTFC is effective for breakthrough pain and could be particularly useful in patients with mucositis.
METHODS
This
Efficacy and safety of high dose administration of NK 622 (toremifene citrate) were studied in tamoxifen (TAM)--failed patients with breast cancer. The patients included in the study were the following failure cases in TAM therapy: unresponded cases in TAM therapy (TAM unresponded cases), temporary
The efficacy and safety of TAT-59 (miproxifene phospate) were compared with tamoxifen citrate (TAM) in ER-positive or ER-unknown patients with advanced or recurrent breast cancer, using the double-blind method. TAT-59 and TAM were both given 20 mg/body orally for over 12 weeks in daily doses.
BACKGROUND
Chronic noncancer pain is often undertreated.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy of fentanyl transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) associated with oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC) for breakthrough pain in patients with chronic noncancer pain.
METHODS
A total of 215 patients with
OBJECTIVE
Small-volume bowel preparations for colonoscopy has become increasingly popular due to improved tolerance by patients and equivalent efficacy compared with the larger volume preparations. Comparative studies, however, between small volume preparations are lacking. This randomized
Sixty-six patients with cancer-related pain entered an open multicentre study to examine the safety and efficacy of oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC) in the treatment of breakthrough pain. Patients were eligible for the study if they were stabilized on a long-acting opioid but were
OBJECTIVE
Supplemental, "as-needed," administration of an opioid is a common approach to the problem of breakthrough pain in cancer patients. Oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC) is undergoing investigation as a new treatment for breakthrough pain. The primary purpose of the study was to
BACKGROUND
The fentanyl effervescent buccal tablet (FEBT) was designed to enhance the rate and extent of absorption of fentanyl through the buccal mucosa. FEBT is being investigated for the management of breakthrough pain.
OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this study was to compare the relative
BACKGROUND
Vagal nerve-preserving distal gastrectomy reconstructed by interposition of a jejunal J pouch with a jejunal conduit (hereinafter called DGP) is a function-preserving operation for early gastric cancer. However, some patients after DGP have suffered from postprandial stasis in the
OBJECTIVE
Vagal nerve and pylorus-preserving nearly total gastrectomy reconstructed by interposition of a jejunal J pouch (hereinafter called NTGP) is a function-preserving operation for early gastric cancer. However, some patients after NTGP have suffered from postprandial food stasis in the
