the aim of this study is to prove that laparoscopic approach in
experienced hands is the treatment
of choice for adrenal masses (up to 10 cm)
the study was conducted in Al Asad University
hospital between 2004-2006.By
reviewing the files of 22 p
atients with adrenal mass retrospectively and
prospectively all of them were done
laparoscopicaly except one case in which the operation was converted to
open approach .the variables that
considered in this study were the difficulty of the procsdure,time of surgery,
the ratio of conversion to the
classic approach (open adrenalectomy ^morbidity and mortality rates.
The adreno-cortical hormones ,are considered one of the most important
parts of the nonspecific reaction of the organism to different stress effects
including the stress induced analgesia . This paper is interested in the study of
the effect of re
peated cold stress(swimming in cold water ١٧ c for ten minutes)
and the emotional stress (immobilization for ten minutes) for the average of six
times daily for six days,(on the test of tail flick latency) in normal and
adrenalectomized rats . The aim is to know the analgesic system and their
probable relation wth the adreno-cortical hormones .
