Effective Dose Of Intravenous Oxycodone Depending On Sex And Age For Attenuation Ofintubation-Related Hemodynamic Responses, Keum Young So, Ki Tae Jung, Bo Hyun Jang, Sang Hun Kim
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: Preoperative intravenous oxycodone may help to prevent or attenuate intubation-related hemodynamic responses (IRHRs), but its pharmacokinetics differs according to age and sex. Therefore, we investigated the 95% effective dose (ED95) of intravenous oxycodone for attenuating all IRHRs, depending on the age and sex of the study population. Materials and methods: All patients were allocated to one of 6 groups: 1) 20-40 year old males, 2) 41-65yearold males, 3) 66-80 year old males, 4) 20-40 year old females, 5) 41-65yearold females, and 6) 66-80 year old females (groups YM, OM, EM, YF, OF, and EF, respectively). Using Dixon's up-and-down method, …

Background/aim: This study aimed to reveal the optimum recording time of routine electroencephalogram (EEG) for adults with epilepsy.Materials and methods: In this clinical observational study we investigated features of paroxysms that emerged in EEGs recorded for 45 min in adults with epilepsy.Results: Paroxysms were detected in 38.14% of 97 patients. The probability of occurrence of paroxysm during the first 10 min was found to be statistically significantly low in comparison to the first 30 and 45 min (respectively P = 0.004, P = 0.0001). This probability was found to increase insignificantly when comparing the first 20 min with the first …

Cysticercosis/taeniasis is one of the neglected parasitic zoonoses in developing countries like India. A study was conducted for a period of 7 years from 2010 to 2017 during which 13,596 pig and 1238 human samples were screened to learn the exact scenario of cysticercosis/taeniasis in the different regions of Maharashtra State. Prevalence of cysticercosis/taeniasis in pigs and humans was recorded using various diagnostic methods such as meat inspection and serological methods involving ELISA. The overall prevalence of cysticercosis in pigs was found to be 0.88% by postmortem examination and 0.9% by PCR assay, whereas prevalence of taeniasis in humans was …
