Randomized Controlled TrialAnalgesic efficacy of Intraoperative lidocaine infusion in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.
A significant proportion of patients may experience moderate pain requiring treatment in the postoperative first 24 h following thyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the evaluation of postoperative patient-reported pain from intraoperative intravenous infusion of lidocaine in patients undergoing thyroidectomy surgery. ⋯ We recommended the use of intravenous lidocaine infusion intraoperatively in thyroidectomy surgery as it reduces pain scores.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of candesartan treatment on echocardiographic indices of cardiac remodeling in post-myocardial infarction patients.
Myocardial infarction has unfavorable effect on structural and functional properties of the myocardium, referred to as cardiac remodeling. Left ventricular mass, left ventricular mass index, and relative wall thickness are important predictors of cardiac remodeling. In this study, we investigated the effect of candesartan treatment in comparison with zofenopril treatment on echocardiographic indices of cardiac remodeling in post myocardial infarction patients. ⋯ Our results suggest that candesartan treatment following myocardial infarction may potentially be useful in terms of improving post-myocardial infarction cardiac remodeling.
