Meta AnalysisMeta-analysis of protective effect of sevoflurane on myocardium during cardiac surgery.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of sevoflurane anesthesia on myocardium in cardiac surgery and provide evidence for clinical anesthesia practice. ⋯ Sevoflurane can better protect myocardium in the cardiac surgery.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of stellate ganglionic block on hemodynamic changes and intrapulmonary shunt in perioperative patients with esophageal cancer.
The aim of this study was to observe the effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on hemodynamic changes and intrapulmonary shunt during one-lung ventilation (OLV). ⋯ SGB before induction effectively suppress the stress response work as stable blood dynamics and does not affect Qs/Qt and arterial oxygenation during OLV, SGB is a safe technique of anesthesia for general thoracic surgery.

Weight, pregnancy and oral contraceptives affect intravenous paracetamol clearance in young women.
Because of the extensive variability in paracetamol clearance in young women, published data were pooled with newly collected observations in search of covariates of paracetamol pharmacokinetics (PK) within this specific population. ⋯ Weight, pregnancy and OC result in higher clearance of IV paracetamol in young women. Besides compound specific relevance, these findings also unveil covariates of drug metabolism in young women.

Randomized Controlled TrialClinical analysis of optimal timing for application of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in treatment of AECOPD patients.
This study is conducted to investigate an optimal timing of sequential noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) applied for patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). ⋯ SBT-2 would be the optimal timing considered to use NPPV for AECOPD patients based on a high success rate and a low risk of tracheal reintubation.

Radiographic evaluation of the prevalence of enamel pearls in a sample adult dental population.
Enamel pearls are a tooth anomaly that can act as contributing factors in the development of periodontal disease. Studies that have addressed the prevalence of enamel pearls in populations were scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of enamel pearls in the permanent dentition of Turkish dental patients by means of panoramic radiographs. ⋯ With the prevalence of 5.1% among the Turkish population, every possible effort should be made for locating of this anomaly especially in molars because it might be useful for prevention periodontal problems.
