An In Vivo Comparative study To Evaluate Postopexetive Pain After Root Canal Treatment Using Three Different Filling Techniques

Post-obturation pain is one of the primary problems following root canal treatment. Although in most cases pain does not last long, but could be a source of embarrassment to the dentist and annoying for the patient. This study was conducted to investigate and compare the incidence of postoperative pain after one-visit root canal treatment (RCT) on teeth with vital pulps using three different obturation techniques. 90 cases were assigned into three treatment groups, each group 30 cases(10 anterior, 10 premolar, 10 molars), The canals of all teeth were prepared using Protaper rotary system and then filled at the same visit using one of the three obturation techniques (lateral condensation technique, HEROFILL technique, E&Q PLUS technique). The postoperative pain was recorded on a visual analogue scale (VAS) of 0 - 100 after 2 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 7 days.

Effects of Foot and Hand Massage on Pain of Open Heart Surgery Patients in Intensive Care Units

Recovery from cardiac surgery is associated with severe chest pain at the site of sternotomy and limb pain at the site of conduit harvesting. Patients routinely report mild to moderate pain even though they were administered sedative drugs. The integration of massage therapy into the team approach in patient care constitutes a move forward that recognizes pain as the fifth vital sign after pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and respiratory rate. This study was performed on patients who had open heart surgery and had the inclusion criteria for entering the study in ICU in Bassel Center for disease and heart surgery in Lattakia. A sample of 30 male and female patients was randomly divided into two groups: control group, experimental massage group. The experimental group received hand and foot massage after surgery. Our findings demonstrate that the mean score of pain severity in both groups was not significantly different at the beginning of the study. This means that pain severity was similar in both groups at the beginning of the study before applying any intervention. Results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of pain severity of the intervention group and the control group, after applying hand and foot massage together. The study concludes that foot and hand massage is one of the available interventions in complementary medicine and treatment which provides an opportunity for nurses to care for their patients.

Comparative Study Between IV Ketorolac and Postoperative Inguinal Block for Postoperative Analgesia

chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair is an adverse outcome that affects about 12 % to 54 % of patients. Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric ( IG – IH ) nerve block has been widely used in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Ketorolac is indicated for the short term (less than 5 days)management of pain and appears to be particularly useful in the immediate postoperative period. A standard dose of Ketorolac provides analgesia equivalent to 6 – 12 mg of morphine administered by the same route. The interval to onset is also similar to morphine, but Ketorolac has a longer duration of action (6 – 8 h). what is the best method for pain management after inguinal procedures? Is there any difference between (IG – IH) nerve block, and Ketorolac IV postoperatively (pain scores, early movement, nausea, vomiting ...)?

The Role of Helicobacter Pylori in Gastritis and Gastroduodenitis in Children

The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of helicobacter pylori (HP) in patients with chronic gastroduodenitis and to compare the clinical presentations between patients with positive HP chronic gastroduodenitis and those with negative HP. Also, To compare the endoscopic findings between patients with HP positive gastroduodenitis and HP negative children. Gastroduodenoscopy was done for every child with abdominal pain admitted at the children hospital-Damascus University between 2002-2003. Mucosal biopsy was taken from every patient who had gastroduodenitis diagnosed by gastroduodenoscopy. The percentage of patients with gastroduodenitis having HP positive erosions was 48.38 %. Higher percentage of HP positive patient was more present in those with the erosion and sub-atrophy forms.
