To compare the changes in pain-related symptoms of inguinal hernias from initial admission to postoperative month 6 following 2 herniorrhaphy techniques. ⋯ Despite its ease of application and short time duration, self-gripping polypropylene mesh repair was not found to be superior to conventional Lichtenstein hernia repair in terms of reducing pain related to inguinal hernia.

To investigate the efficacy of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis and staging of fibrosis induced by experimental bile duct ligation (BDL). ⋯ We think that DWI may be an alternative to liver biopsy for the diagnosis and staging of hepatic fibrosis with underlying extrahepatic cholestasis.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of pretreatment with esmolol and lidocaine on injection pain and rocuronium-induced withdrawal response.
We aimed to compare the effectiveness of esmolol 1 mg/kg and lidocaine 1 mg/kg for injection pain and for the prevention of rocuronium-induced withdrawal response. ⋯ We found that esmolol significantly attenuates rocuronium-induced withdrawal movement and also reduces pain when used at subparalyzing doses.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of wound infiltration with lornoxicam for postoperative analgesia following thyroidectomy: a prospective, randomized, double-blind study.
Postoperative pain control constitutes a major problem and studies have focused on reducing opioid requirements using regional techniques. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of wound infiltration with lornoxicam on postoperative pain control following thyroidectomy. ⋯ Wound infiltration with lornoxicam neither improved postoperative pain control nor decreased total analgesic consumption.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of local infiltration anesthesia and peripheral nerve block: a randomized prospective study in hand lacerations.
To compare local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) and peripheral nerve block (PNB) in repairing hand lacerations. ⋯ Despite the fact that performing PNB in emergency departments requires some experience, it still counts as a convenient method comparable to LIA.
