Abstract
Cryostimulation is becoming popular in medicine and sport. However, changes that occur in the human body subjected to cryogenic temperatures are still not completely understood. Sclerosis multiplex (MS) is a complex disease with several pathophysiological processes: inflammation, dem...

Abstract
We are able to decrease the risks by identifying the patient- and procedure-related factors. The educated patient is a good indicator of paravasation in case he or she can cooperate and call the nurse. When the patient is unable to cooperate, the risks of extravasation is higher and closer nursing s...

Abstract
Extravasation of cytostatics occurs when an infusion containing a cytotoxic drug leaks into the surrounding perivascular and subcutaneous tissues. Incidence of cytostatic extravasation is found to be 0.1-6% according to the literature. Depending on the severity of complications, pain, loss of functio...

Abstract
One sought to compare surface cooling produced by two cryotherapy modalities (crushed ice in a room temperature wet towel and Liquid Ice). Twenty-five university students (10 female and 15 male) between 19 and 29 years of age (mean+/-SD: 21.36+/-2.33) participated in this study. Skin surface tempera...

Abstract
The popular belief advocates the use of sitz (sitting) baths with cold water for the treatment of acute anal pain, but clinical practice guides recommend the use of hot water for its known effect on the at-rest anal pressure.
The objective of the study was to examine the analgesic effect on the qual...

Abstract
One hundred percent of patients showed more than 25% clearance, and 30% of the patients were able to achieve more than 75% clearance. About 70% of patients experienced 25-75% clearance, among them 53.33% of patients experienced 50-75% clearance. There were no long-term complications or side effects....

Abstract
After a 12-month follow-up, the postoperative best-corrected visual acuities significantly improved in both the combined and the consecutive surgery groups (near and far vision in both groups, P < .0001). However the improvement of far visual acuity was not significant in the consecutive surgery gro...

The increasing incidence of renal-cell carcinoma can be largely attributed to the increased detection of small renal masses (SRMs) via abdominal imaging. These lesions tend to have a slow rate of growth and low malignant potential, and hence, minimally invasive treatments and active surveillance hav...
