In the older population, where loss of muscle mass and sarcopenia is common, crea often overestimates GFR [29]. In a recent large review (n = 23 667), Zou et al. found that the use of CKD-EPI based on cysC to estimate GFR was associated with less bias compared to the use of...
The rationale for this approach is that fibrotic changes in the peri-articular and intra-articular soft tissues hinder movement, and sometimes it is necessary to anesthetize patients to reduce muscle tone and protective reflex mechanisms so that the spine can be manipulated effectively. This maneuver ...
Surgery Under General Anesthesia The patient was placed under general anesthesia using only remifentanil and propofol, together with an ultrashort-acting muscle relaxant for endotracheal intubation. Then the stereotactic frame was applied and the patient was transported to the 1.5-T MRI scanner, where ...
Muscle spasms, (4). Chest pain, (5). Dizziness, (6). Nausea or an upset stomach, (7). Indigestion, (8). Ringing in your ears, (9). Difficulty swallowing, and (10). Trouble keeping your balance. The items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale (0-3) ranging from ‘Never’ to ...
Reasons for co-prescribing may include provider beliefs that benzodiazepines provide quick and effective relief of muscle spasms, anxiety, insomnia, and other pain-associated symptoms, despite a lack of strong evidence supporting these beliefs.27 This rate of opioid and benzodiazepine co-prescribing is...

Significantly more patients in the GM group had back or joint pain starting within 2 months before the first visit to our hospital; thus, spinal MRIs were performed more often. This could suggest that physicians actively sus pected IE when patients had pyogenic spondylitis or pyogenic ...
The typical trends of BIS and frontal muscle electromyogram changes of the two groups of patients under BIS monitoring on the first night after sur- gery are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. There were no significant differences in the levels of MT, cortisol, blood glucose, and pain between the...
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have identified a number of well-established risk factors for falls: advanced age, female gender, gait and balance deficits, muscle weakness, low walking speed, dizziness and vertigo, mobility limitations and the use of assistive devices, living alone, pain, fun...
