Local dermal application of a compound lidocaine cream in pain management of cancer wounds

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (11), 2019
The aim of this study was to explore the analgesic effect of local application of compound lidocaine/prilocaine cream on cancer wounds during wound care in order to reduce the amount of morphine intake or completely replace the systemic morphine administration and optimize the protocol for cancer wound p...

A prospective case series on surgical treatment of circumferential and semi-circumferential defects due to peri-implantitis

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract Different surgical treatment strategies for peri-implantitis with the use of graft material and membranes have been suggested without any longitudinal remarkable success rate. The present preliminary study was aimed to analyze a new clinical approach based on the disinfection of the implant conn...

New strategies and developments for peri-implant disease

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract The aim of this illustrated review is to present the new strategies and developments to treatment and diagnosis of periimplant diseases. Periimplant disease is a subject of great concern for modern dentistry. The numbers of implant exhibiting biological complications grows as implant dentistry e...

Treatment of peri-implant soft tissue defects: a narrative review

Braz. oral res. (Online); 33 (supl.1), 2019
Abstract Soft tissue defects around dental implants, such as papilla or volume loss, peri-implant recession and alterations of the ridge color and/or texture, lead to esthetic and functional complaints. Treatments of these defects in implants are more demanding than in teeth because peri-implant tissue e...

Clinical and laboratory parameters of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog treatment effectiveness in children with precocious puberty

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVE: There are no doubts about the clinical benefits of treatment with GnRH analogs for patients diagnosed with central precocious puberty (CPP). However, laboratory monitoring of CPP is still a matter of considerable controversy in the literature. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to...

OJECTIVES: The aim was to evaluate the ability of bilateral superficial cervical plexus blockade to control pain and to reduce the side effects of general anesthesia in patients submitted to thyroidectomy. METHODS: In this randomized controlled trial, we prospectively studied 100 consecutive patients wh...

Correlation between myocardial velocity measured using tissue doppler imaging in the left ventricular lead-implanted segment and response to cardiac resynchronization therapy

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether tissue Doppler imaging parameters, especially the peak systolic velocity of the left ventricular lead-implanted segment (Ss), affect cardiac resynchronization therapy response. METHODS: In this case-control study, 110 enrolled patients were divided into cases ...

Hypothermia treatment ameliorated cyclin-dependent kinase 5-mediated inflammation in ischemic stroke and improved outcomes in ischemic stroke patients

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: The inflammatory response is a key mechanism of neuronal damage and loss during acute ischemic stroke. Hypothermia has shown promise as a treatment for ischemic stroke. In this study, we investigated the molecular signaling pathways in ischemic stroke after hypothermia treatment. METHODS: Cy...
