BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of cerebral oxygen saturation (SCTO2) on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in female patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery.
METHODS
This study included 90 female patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery (60 cases of
The authors compared two groups of patients receiving oral 5% mannitol for bowel preparation to see whether the volume of rectal effluent and quantity of bowel preparation could be maintained by a smaller oral mannitol intake supplemented by an intravenous infusion. Nineteen patients drank 2--3 1 5%
BACKGROUND
Colonoscopy is currently the gold standard method to examine the colon, the rectum and the terminal ileum. In order to perform the colonoscopy, it is necessary to clean the bowel and use medications that are generally poorly tolerated by the patients.
OBJECTIVE
Compare the tolerability,
Hydroelectrolytic changes, the time of action and complications induced by oral administration of 10 per cent mannitol solution in the colonic preparation for X-ray examination were examined. Twenty-six patients were examined using two different solution volumes: one liter in 15 patients and two
Palonosetron hydrochloride is a longer-acting, selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist that has been approved for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting ad is being evaluated for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
The relation between diarrhoea and vomiting, the excretion of stool micro-organisms, and the passive intestinal permeability in 20 infants living in a deprived urban area was studied prospectively from birth to age 6 months. Intestinal permeability was measured from the ratio of lactulose to
This acute experiment using decerebrated dogs was a new model for studies of central and peripheral mechanisms of intestinal motility with emesis, and was undertaken to clarify the relationship between intestinal contractions and the retrograde transport of intestinal contents with emesis.
Three preparations, two based on magnesium citrate and one an optimised oral mannitol regime, have been compared for their effectiveness in clearing the large bowel prior to double-contrast barium enema and for effects on barium mucosal coating. If excellent clearance alone is taken as the criterion
BACKGROUND
The cleansing of the colon for a colonoscopy exam must be complete so as to allow the visualization and inspection of the intestinal lumen. The ideal cleansing agent should be easily administered, have a low cost, and minimum collateral effects. Sodium picosulfate together with the
The effect of IV mannitol (1.5 gm/kg) or oral glycerol (1.4 and 2.0 gm/kg) on intraocular pressure (IOP) and serum osmolality (SOSM) was investigated in 24 normal dogs. Mean IOPs were significantly decreased from baseline values from 0.5 through 5.5 hours following mannitol administration with a
BACKGROUND
Several agents are used to clear secretions from the airways of people with cystic fibrosis. Inhaled dry powder mannitol is now available in Australia and some countries in Europe. The exact mechanism of action of mannitol is unknown, but it increases mucociliary clearance. Phase III
BACKGROUND
Ciguatera fish poisoning arises primarily from consumption of carnivorous reef fish caught in tropical and sub-tropical waters. Ciguatoxins, a class of tasteless, heat-stable, polycyclic toxins produced by dinoflagellates, accumulate through the food chain and concentrate in various
Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic used in acute oliguric renal failure, acute cerebral edema, and acute glaucoma. It is metabolically inert and is excreted through the kidneys. So once renal function is impaired, mannitol accumulates and the movement of water into the intravascular space with
