Determining the Effect of Injection Dexmedetomidine for Prevention of Pain due to Propofol Injection and Comparing it with Injection Lignocaine | Chapter 02 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

 Background: Local pain after a Propofol injection is a common occurrence. Different ways have been tried to alleviate the discomfort, but they have had mixed results. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of injection Dexmedetomidine 0.2 mcg/kg against injection Lignocaine 0.2 mg/kg in preventing pain caused by Propofol injection.

Method: The study was started with written informed consent from the participants after receiving clearance from the Institutional Ethics Committee. In a randomised prospective trial, 60 ASA I and II patients between the ages of 20 and 60 years, of either sexe, were randomly assigned to one of two groups for elective procedures under general anaesthesia.

Injection Dexmedetomidine 0.2mcg/kg in Group I (Dexmedetomidine group), and

Injection Lignocaine 0.2 mg/kg in Group II (Lignocaine group).

In 5 mL normal saline, both were diluted. A 20 G cannula was used to secure the IV line, and a pneumatic tourniquet was used to apply venous occlusion to the forearm, which was inflated to 70mm Hg for 1 minute. After the study drug was injected, the tourniquet was removed and 25 percent of the predicted dose of Injection Propofol was administered intravenously over 10 seconds. The severity of pain was assessed using the McCrirrick and Hunter scale, after which the remaining Propofol and neuromuscular blocking drug were administered. Anesthesia was maintained with Oxygen, Nitrous oxide, and Isoflurane on intermittent positive pressure ventilation with Bain's circuit after endotracheal intubation. Muscle relaxant injection Vecuronium was utilised.

Results: Demographic data revealed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. In terms of pain reduction due to injection Propofol, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. In both groups, no adverse effects such as oedema, discomfort, or wheal response at the injection site were noted.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Ethnopharmacological Survey among Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) for the Management of Pathologies such as Malaria, ENT Diseases, Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever and Anemia | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) of Côte d'Ivoire are familiar with the therapeutic herbs. Medicinal plants have been shown to be useful in the treatment of common diseases such as malaria (KROA, 2004) and diabetes (N'GUESSAN et al, 2013) in several studies and scientific study. In the Abidjan District, the current policy is to integrate traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia into the national health system in order to improve population health coverage, particularly in the management of commonly encountered diseases such as malaria, ENT diseases, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, and anaemia. This research aims to increase the use of traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia in the national health system. Over the course of three months, fifty (50) PMTs in the District of Abidjan participated in this study. Plant therapists accounted for 30 of the 50 PMTs polled at the end of the study, or 60%. Traditional medicine centres use 61 types of medicinal plants from 36 famili
