Randomized Controlled TrialKetorolac as a pre-emptive analgesic in retinal detachment surgery: a prospective, randomized clinical trial.
Retinal detachment surgery is associated with a high incidence of post-operative pain, nausea and vomiting. Previous studies demonstrated a beneficial role of pre-emptive analgesia using regional anesthetic blocks for this type of surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pre-emptive analgesic effect of ketorolac in patients undergoing retinal detachment surgery under general anesthesia. ⋯ The use of ketorolac for pre-emptive analgesia is effective in patients undergoing retinal detachment surgery under general anesthesia.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparative clinical study of the efficacy and safety of a S-metoprolol ER tablet versus a racemate metoprolol ER tablet in patients with chronic stable angina.
To compare the efficacy and safety of a S-metoprolol extended release (ER) tablet (50 mg) versus a racemate metoprolol ER tablet (100 mg) in the management of angina. ⋯ In routine clinical practice in the management of angina (with or without coexisting hypertension), S-metoprolol administered at half the dose of the racemate, shows similar efficacy, safety and a trend towards a higher response rate.
