Talebi-Ghane","doi":"10.30699/jambs.31.146.221","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30699/jambs.31.146.221","url":null,"abstract":"10.30699/jambs.31.146.221 Background & Objective: Although the pain severity following laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally lower compared to the open method, but some patients may still experience abdominal and shoulder pain for several days after the laparoscopic procedure. Based on recent evidences, pneumoperitoneum using low-pressure carbon dioxide gas can reduce the pain. This study evaluated the feedback on shoulder pain severity from laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients experiencing CO2-pneumoperitoneum. Materials & Methods: 80 laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases were allocated for intervention (n = 40) and control groups (n = 40) randomly. Pneumoperitoneum was done by a direct trocar. Patients’ pain feedback was assessed using the visual pain scale after the surgery. SPSS 21 was used to analyze the collected data. Results: Shoulder pain frequency significantly differed between the two groups at 12 hours (P = 0.048) and 24 hours (P = 0.001) after the surgery. Regarding average shoulder pain severity, the groups showed significant differences after 2, 6, and 24 hours of surgery (P < 0.05). Moreover, pneumoperitoneum duration was different in the groups (P = 0.001). Conclusion: Based on these findings, low pressure of pneumoperitoneum with active evacuation compared to the standard pressure, efficiently reduced shoulder pain intensity. Thus, using low-pressure pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is recommended to relieve postoperative pain.","PeriodicalId":36550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Medical and Biomedical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45743420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, the obstetric complications of 84 women who had undergone a previous cesarean delivery referred to Baqiyatallah Hospital in 2018 for vaginal delivery after cesarean section (VBAC) delivery compared with 84 women with a previous vaginal delivery, who intended to give birth vaginally for the second delivery. Demographic, anthropometric, obstetric, and perinatal data of them were collected and registered in a researcher-developed form. Two groups were compared using the t-test and chi-square test. Results: The mean age in VBAC and control group was 30.49±6.83 and 32.08±7.28 years, respectively (P=0.15). There were not any occurrence of urinary rupture, bladder rupture, stool control disorder, uterine rupture, nephrotic infection, and ICU hospitalization of the mothers in the two groups. Regarding puerperal infection (3.57% in the VBAC group and 4.76% in the control group, P=0.69) and hospitalization of neonates in ICU (9.52% in the VBAC group and 5.95% in the control group, p=0.39), there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: It seems that the overall incidence of obstetric complications in women attempting vaginal birth after cesarean delivery is low and not higher than those with prior vaginal delivery. Therefore, for the achievement of benefits of natural childbirth for both the mother and the fetus, women with a prior cesarean should be offered VBAC.","PeriodicalId":36550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Medical and Biomedical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47327510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Imatinib mesylate (IM) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that induces clinical remissions in chronic-phase CML patients. The T315I mutation at the gatekeeper residues of BCR-ABL confers resistance to both IM and second-generation TKIs, including dasatinib and nilotinib. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of T315I mutation between two groups of CML patients before and during Imatinib treatment in North-East of Iran. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted on 100 newly diagnosed cases of CML (before commencing IM treatment) and 25 IM-resistant CML patients. PCR-RFLP, ASO-PCR, and direct sequencing were performed to detect T315I mutations. Results: The median age of newly-diagnosed and IM-resistant patients was 48±14 and 50±12.3 years, respectively. Males/Females ratio was 1 and 1.08 for newly diagnosed and IM-resistant patients, respectively. There was no significant difference regarding the age and sex between the two groups. During the study, T315I mutational analysis was performed for all 125 patients. The prevalence of T315I mutation was 0% and 4% for newly-diagnosed and IM-resistant patients, respectively. T315I mutation was not detected before IM administration, although it was detected in 1(4%) among resistant patients who were at least 6-months on IM treatment. Conclusion: These observations suggest that T315I mutation may be categorized as secondary resistance and induce clonal expansion due to BCR/ABL instability. Hence, BCR-ABL mutations are less likely to appear before the onset of treatment, as presented in our study.","PeriodicalId":36550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Medical and Biomedical Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69575353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) have emerged as a promising targeted treatment for BC, improving the survival rate of these patients with minimum adverse effects. This study aimed to investigate the severity of the adverse effects of MoAbs in an Indian population. Materials & Methods: This longitudinal descriptive study was conducted on 120 BC patients over six months in a tertiary care hospital in Bangalore, India, in 2020. A data collection form was used to gather relevant data. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS Version 21, using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. A P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among 97 patients evaluated in this study (including 29 patients in the non-exposed group), the adverse effects of BC were observed in all age groups. Most adverse effects were attributed to trastuzumab (37.50%; CI: 31.6-44) and bevacizumab (26.78%; CI: 20.9-31.8). The MoAbs were well tolerated by the patients, causing minimum adverse effects that were manageable by supportive therapy. Anemia was the most prevalent adverse effect. Evaluation of the null hypothesis indicated that the adverse effects of MoAbs depended on their amount and composition. The results of analysis using the Naranjo scale revealed that most of the adverse effects were probable (67%) and possible (32%), respectively. Also, according to the WHO scale, most of the adverse effects were under the categories of probable (61.20%) and possible (38.14%), respectively. Conclusion: Based on the present results, the adverse effects of MoAbs were manageable by supportive care. Anemia was found to be the most prevalent adverse effect. Meanwhile, no potential adverse cardiovascular event was observed in patients on trastuzumab, except one case of dilated cardiomyopathy.","PeriodicalId":36550,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Medical and Biomedical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46061093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
