Background: Acute post-thoracotomy pain (APTP) is severe and can lead to various respiratory complications if left untreated. Epidural (Ep) analgesia is the gold standard for APTP relief. Aims and Objectives: The aims and objectives of this study were to study the impact of low-dose oral pregabalin 75 mg on APTP. Materials and Methods: 100 patients were randomized into two groups (Group P and C). The Group P, study group received pregabalin 75 mg per oral preoperatively and for 2 days postoperatively. Group C received no medication. All the patients received thoracic Ep as a standard practice.

Abstract A history of allergies has been said to be associated with a lower risk of head and neck cancer compared to the general population. However, it is not known whether having an allergic sensitization influences the prognosis and advancement of cancer disease. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between allergic sensitization and oral cancer advancement and patient survival. Allergen-specific IgE antibodies were investigated by ImmunoCAP™ Rapid in consecutive 80 patients with oral cancer. ImmunoCAP Rapid system tests a mix of representative inhalant allergens s

Background. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible visual loss in industrialized countries. Early symptoms of AMD include drusen and changes in retinal pigment epithelium. However, the etiology of AMD and drusen formation is not fully understood. Recent studies suggest that CYP2C8-related metabolic processes might play an important role in the development of AMD. The aim of our study is to investigate CYP2C8 rs10509681 and CYP2C8 rs11572080 genotype frequencies in patients with early AMD and to compare them with healthy controls. Materials and Methods.

We developed an online patient portal called AEGIS (Automated Evaluation of Gastrointestinal [GI] Symptoms) that systematically collects patient GI symptom information and then transforms the data into a narrative HPI that is available for physicians to review in the EHR prior to seeing the patient.
