Background: Opioids added to local anesthetics for peripheral nerve blocks may intensify analgesia and prolong analgesic and sensorial block duration.These agents may also cause potentiation and prolongation of motor block.Objective: This study compared the postoperative effects of 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine +50 mcg fentanyl and 30 mL of 0.25% bupi
ObjectiveReminiscence therapy (RT) ameliorates psychological problems and quality of life in cancer patients.However, no study reports its effect on older papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients.This study intended to investigate the effect of the RT-care program (CP) on anxiety, depression, quality of life, and survival in older PTC patients.Me
The performance of power networks is enhanced by the penetration of solar energy, which helps to equate continuously the generation and demand power imbalance.However, the time margin that grids must adapt to unforeseen frequency fluctuations and restore generation-demand equivalency is reduced by these linkages.Consequently, it exerts the stabilit
Abstract Macrophages serve as the primary immune cell population and assume a pivotal role in the immune response within the damaged cochleae.Yet, the origin and role of macrophages in response to noise exposure remain controversial.Here, we take advantage of Ccr2RFP/+ Cx3cr1GFP/+ dual-reporter mice to identify the infiltrated and tissue-resident m
The detection and quantification of defects in pipes by non-destructive testing techniques plays a crucial role in several industries (petrochemical and nuclear in particular).Once a defect is detected, assessing its Clock severity enables to schedule maintenance appropriately, hence reducing maintenance cost and rupture or leakage risks.Structural
