(2018)BACKGROUND: Patients with a newly formed ileostomy often develop electrolyte abnormalities and dehydration. OBJECTIVE: The study assessed the prophylactic effect of an isotonic hydration solution on dehydration and electrolyte ... -
Autologous (non-vascularised) fibular grafting with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7 for the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis: Preliminary report
(2014)This preliminary study evaluates a combination of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 and non-vascularised autologous fibular grafting (AFG) for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. BMP-7/AFG combination was ... -
Circulating tumor cells as prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer: current status and future prospects
(2021)Introduction : Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques breast cancer is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality. CTCs play a crucial role in the metastatic process, which is the main ... -
Combined anterior and posterior shoulder dislocation as a manifestation of a brain tumour
(2004)Seizures are sometimes the first manifestation of a brain tumour. They may give rise to shoulder fractures or fracture-dislocations. When bilateral, these lesions tend to be symmetrical. The patient reported here suffered ... -
The effect of a hydrocolloid dressing on second intention wound healing in cats
(2018)The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a hydrocolloid dressing on second intention wound healing in cats. Two full-thickness skin wounds, measuring 2 × 2 cm, were created on both sides of the ... -
The effect of early motion on tibial tunnel widening after anterior cruciate ligament replacement using hamstring tendon grafts
(2004)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that early motion increases tibial tunnel enlargement in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) replacement with hamstring autograft. Cohort analytic ... -
The effect of preemptive use of pregabalin on postoperative morphine consumption and analgesia levels after laparoscopic colorectal surgery: a controlled randomized trial
(2020)Purpose: In order to reduce postoperative opioid administration and pain levels in patients submitted to laparoscopic colectomy, we assessed the efficacy of preemptive use of pregabalin (PG), as part of a multimodal analgesia ... -
