Wills Eye Hospital Papers

PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of muscle-relaxants as risk factors for the development of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) - the second most common retinopathy in our settings; despite multiple risk factors seen in our patients, 21% were initially labelled as idiopathic.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective case-control study at a tertiary hospital in the United Arab Emirates, where we reviewed the medical records of 273 patients with CSC examined between 2010 and 2019 for use of muscle-relaxants including tolperisone/eperisone, carisoprodol and gabapentin/pregabalin within a year of onset/recurrence of the disease. Intake of drugs with known association with CSC (including corticosteroids/sympathomimetics) was …

Patients and methods A total of 40 adult patients of both sexes, American Society of Anesthesiology I physical status, aged between 18 and 50 years, scheduled for elective spinal surgery during the period from August 2019 till July 2020, were randomly divided into two equal groups of 20 patients …

Multimodal Pain Management To Reduce Opioid Use After Cholecystectomy, Danielle Tretbar

Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers

Studies chosen from this search were peer reviewed and included randomized control trials, systematic reviews and met analyses. Excluded studies did not particularly research the drug classes of interest or they dealt solely with different surgical pain interventions during the procedure. The research presented shows the use of gabapentinoids, …
