A Single Dose of Intrathecal Morphine Without Local Anesthetic Provides Long-Lasting Postoperative Analgesia After Radical Prostatectomy and Nephrectomy
CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study confirmed that preoperative intrathecal morphine provides long-lasting analgesia and reduces the need for postoperative systemic administration of opioids. Adverse effects are minor and comparable between groups.PMID:38300193 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.10.019 (Source: Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing)

Toxic effects of combined exposure to cadmium and diclofenac on freshwater crayfish (Procambarus clarkii): Insights from antioxidant enzyme activity, histopathology, and gut microbiome
This study examined the effects of combined exposure to Cd and DCF on the tissue accumulation, physiology, biochemistry, and gut microflora of P. clarkii. The results showed that Cd and DCF accumulated in tissues in the order of hepatopancreas > gill > intestine > muscle. The hepatopancreas and intestines were subjected to severe oxidative stress, with significantly increased antioxidant enzyme activity. Pathological examination revealed lumen expansion and epithelial vacuolisation in the hepatopancreas and damage to the villous capillaries and wall in the intestine. The co-exposure to Cadmium (Cd) and Diclofenac ...

Subchronic doses of artemether-lumefantrine, ciprofloxacin and diclofenac precipitated inflammatory and immunological dysfunctions in female Wistar rats
This study evaluated the effects of co-administration of artemether-lumefantrine (AL), ciprofloxacin (CPX) and diclofenac (DFC) on inflammatory and immunological status of female Wistar rats. Ninety-six female Wistar rats were assigned into eight groups of twelve animals each. Group A was control, groups B, C, D, E, F, G and H were administered AL, CPX, DFC, AL + CPX, AL + DFC, CPX + DFC and AL + CPX + DFC respectively. Dosages of administered drugs were 178 mg/kg b/w of AL, 185 mg/kg b/w of CPX and 9 mg/kg b/w of DFC. Animals were sacrificed after 6 and 12 weeks of oral administration. Blood was obtained through cardiac p...

Protective Assessment of Novel (Bncs Formulation) against Brain Tumor
CONCLUSION: These findings indicated that, indeed, Diclofenac induces considerable ROSmediated apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells, which further intriguingly ameliorated Diclofenacmediated cytotoxic effects on SH-SY5Y cells.
