Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyAnalgesic comparison of systemic lidocaine, morphine or lidocaine plus morphine infusion in dogs undergoing fracture repair.
To compare the postoperative analgesic effects of lidocaine, morphine and lidocaine plus morphine administered by constant rate infusion (CRI) and analyzing their effects on opioid requirements after orthopedic surgery in dogs. ⋯ Lidocaine, morphine or lidocaine/morphine CRI may be efficacious techniques for pain management in the first 24 hours post-surgery. However, the two drugs administered together did not reduce the postoperative opioid requirement in dogs undergoing fracture repair. Key words: Anesthesia. Analgesics. Analgesics, Opioid. Lidocaine. Morphine. Dogs.

Randomized Controlled TrialEpidural anesthesia with ropivacaine with or without clonidine and postoperative pain in hemorrhoidectomies.
To determine the safety, pain intensity correlated with age and body mass index (BMI), epidural anesthesia with ropivacaine and clonidine in hemorrhoidectomy. ⋯ Clonidine (4mcg/kg) in epidural anesthesia with ropivacaine 0.75% in hemorrhoidectomy showed safety and greater analgesia within four hours. The pain at 12 hours showed correlation with age and not with body mass index.

Simulation-based ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation training program.
To propose a simulation-based ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation skills' training program, during residency. ⋯ A simulation-based inexpensive, low-stress, no-risk learning program on low-fidelity bench models was proposed to facilitate acquisition of ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation skills by residents-in-training before exposure to the living patient.

Review Meta AnalysisOxandrolone use in adult burn patients. Systematic review and meta-analysis.
This study is a systematic literature review and meta-analysis concerning the use of a testosterone synthetic analog, oxandrolone, and its use in severe adult burns. ⋯ The analysis of the available data demonstrated significant benefits (p<0.05) considering lesser loss of corporal mass, lesser nitrogen loss, and shorter donor area healing time, when Oxandrolone was used, comparatively with the control group (placebo or not).
