The effectiveness of a body positioning device for controlling patient movement and additional sedative use during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: A retrospective analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Background Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography requires precise body movement control for procedural safety and efficiency. Sedatives are commonly used but pose risks, especially in elderly patients. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Medo V‐Fix device in controlling patient movement during endoscopic retrograde ...

Protective Role of S-Adenosylmethionine Against Fructose-Induced Oxidative Damage in Obesity [PDF]
Introduction. It has been shown that S-adenosylmethionine (S-AMe) stimulates glutathione synthesis and increases cell resistance to the cytotoxic action of free radicals and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of

Thiopental Monitoring by Gas-Chromatography [PDF]
A gaschromatographic method is presented for the determination of thiopental (and of its metabolite pentobarbital) in cases of severe head injuries treated by induction of therapeutic barbiturate coma. To 1 ml serum the internal standard and saturated ammonium sulphate solution are added.

Thiopental and Thyroid Metabolism.
Summary1. Thiopental influences thyroid metabolism primarily by depriving the thyroid of available I2. 2. The prolonged inhibition of thyroid activity by thiopental is probably related to accumulation of its metabolic products in the thyroid.
