GROUP I: patients received 2 ml(10 mg) 0.5% bupivacaine with 25 mcg fentanyl intrathecally to achieve an adequate level of anaesthesia.GROUP II: patients received 2 ml(10 mg) 0.5% bupivacaine with 25 mcg fentanyl inrathecally to achieve adequate level of anaesthesia.Spinal block was performed by an anaesthesiologist consultant. Patients were monitored for sensory blockade,motor blockade,Ramsay sedation score,VAS score and complications. Hemodynamics were compared in both the groups.\u0000\u0000Observations –In this study we evaluated and compared 0.5% bupivacaine and fentanyl with 0.5% levobupivacaine and fentanyl in terms of intraoperative hemodynamic changes, onset & duration of sensory block, onset of motor block, level of sedation and occurance of complications when given intrathecally for transurethral resection of prostate/bladder tumors.It was observed that sensory blockade qualities were comparable in both the groups.

Native ultraviolet absorbance maxima of the two chemotherapeutic agents were used. As both compounds do not interact chemically in methanol, the two wavelengths 246.15 nm for atorvastatin calcium and 206.6 nm for nateglinide were used. Both the drugs obeyed Beer's law in the concentration range (1-10 µg/ml) that was employed in this method.
