Cervical Collar Hard Adjustable With Chin - 0 views

  •  
    The soft cervical collar is constructed of foam rubber and covered with a stockinette material. Normally, the closure is achieved with Velcro. Depending on the patient's pathology and body structure, physician and/or orthotist will determine the proper height of the collar. When worn, the soft cervical collar is a reminder to keep in head and neck in a restricted position. It is the mildest design of cervical immobilization. Cervical collars are applied to blunt trauma patients all the time. And most of the time, the neck is fine. It's just those few patients that have fracture or ligamentous injury that really need it. The Cervical Collar provides firm, comfortable support which helps to relieve neck discomfort while providing extra support. Cervical Collar has a convenient hook and loop closure which allows the unit to be adjusted for a proper fit. The Cervical Collar is constructed of soft, porous cotton cover for comfort which is over polyfoam for the best support. Cervical collars are an orthotic device used primarily in the treatment of neck injuries and strains. The most common use of cervical collars is during recovery after surgery on the cervical spine. They are also used in whiplash injuries and conditions like Cervical Radiculopathy, which is caused by the nerves in the neck compressing due to herniated disks in the spinal cord. The main function of the cervical collar is to immobilize the neck and hold it in a gravity-neutral position Tynor Cervical Collar Hard Adjustable is used for supporting, immobilizing or adjusting the neck in the flexion, extension, or hyperextension position. Recommended where a rigid immobilization of the cervical region is required. Anatomical shape. Comfortable edge padding. Adjustable height. Slight weight. Latex free. The soft cervical collar is not designed to completely restrict motion. It depends on providing resistance to movement, which tells the patient to restrict their movements. The soft collar i

Chronic Testosterone Replacement Exerts Cardioprotection against Cardiac Ischemia-Reper... - 0 views

  • In this study, the cardioprotective effects of testosterone in testosterone-deprived rats heart with I/R injury were demonstrated
  • Prior to I/R injury, testosterone replacement provided cardioprotective effects in testosterone-deprived rats as indicated by (1) improved cardiac functions by markedly preserved %EF and %FS, and (2) attenuated cardiac sympathovagal imbalance by a markedly decreased LF/HF ratio
  • Testosterone replacement exerts cardioprotective effects by improving left ventricular function and cardiac sympathovagal balance impaired by testosterone deprivation in ORX rats
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • During the I/R period, testosterone replacement in ORX rats exerted the beneficial effects as indicated by (1) improved left ventricular pressure; (2) markedly decreased infarct size; (3) reduced fatal cardiac arrhythmias by increased time to 1st VT/VF onset and reduced arrhythmia scores; and (4) attenuated cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction caused by I/R injury by reducing ROS production, cardiac mitochondrial swelling and mitochondria membrane depolarization.
  • Chronic testosterone replacement also ameliorates left ventricular dysfunction, and reduces the infarct size and cardiac arrhythmias impaired by I/R injury under testosterone-deprived conditions
  • The mechanisms responsible for these beneficial effects of testosterone could be due to its ability to attenuate cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte apoptosis
  •  
    animal study finds that Testosterone therapy is cardioprotective in a preventative mode and with myocardial injury.  Normalization of Testosterone in these animals with low T reduced infant injury size and improved heart function.

The Pharmacokinetics and Interactions of Ivermectin in Humans-A Mini-review - 0 views

  • This drug is extensively metabolized by human liver microsomes by cytochrome P450
  • cytochrome P-4503A4, converting the drug to at least 10 metabolites
  • its elimination half-life is around a day
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • second rise in plasma levels (mostly occurring between 6 and 12 h after the dose) suggesting an enterohepatic recycling of the drug
  • Ivermectin is exceptionally potent, with effective dosages levels that are unusually low.
  • the optimal dose of ivermectin is 150 μg/kg, but the frequency of administration is still controversial, ranging from 150 μg/kg once to three times yearly.
  • high lipid solubility of ivermectin, this compound is widely distributed within the body.
  • To interrupt the transmission of onchocerciasis in humans, the combination of ivermectin and doxycycline is highly effective as, in infested patients, the ingestion of the anthelmintic (200 μg/kg, single dose) and the antibacterial (100 mg/kg, daily for 6 weeks)
  • ivermectin interactions with another concurrently administered drugs can occur.
  • This issue becames important, as combination chemotherapy is being used with increasing frequency as resistance to antiparasitic agents is becoming more widespread.
  • haematomatous swellings
  • prothrombin times were significantly above baseline by one week to one month after drug ingestion, suggesting an antagonist effect against vitamin K
  • bleeding disorders were not found in 15,000 patients treated with ivermectin (150 μg/kg)
  • prolonged prothrombin ratios were observed in 148 subjects given ivermectin orally. Although no patients suffered bleeding complications, factor II and VII levels were reduced in most of them, suggesting interference with vitamin K metabolism
  • Ivermectin has a minimal effect on coagulation and concern about mass treatment for this reason appears to be unjustified

The Risk of Fluoroquinolone-induced Tendinopathy and Tendon Rupture - 0 views

  • Achilles tendinitis or rupture is among the most serious side effects associated with FQ use
  • The large body of data provided by clinical reports, histopathological examination, and experimental studies provides cogent evidence supporting a direct link between FQ use and tendonitis/tendon rupture
  • Risk factors associated with FQ-induced tendon disorders include age greater than 60 years, corticosteroid therapy, renal failure, diabetes mellitus, and a history of musculoskeletal disorders
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • The average age of FQ-induced tendinopathy is 64 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 2:1, and a 27-percent incidence of bilateral involvement
  • Although more than 95 percent of cases of tendinitis/rupture secondary to FQ involve the Achilles tendon, other reported sites of tendon involvement include the quadriceps, peroneus brevis, and rotator cuff
  • FQs demonstrate a 3.8-fold greater risk for development of Achilles tendinitis/rupture
  • a large population-based case control analysis, patients treated with FQs exhibited a substantially increased risk of developing tendon disorders overall (1.7-fold), tendon rupture (1.3-fold), and ATR (4.1-fold)
  • patients taking FQs with concurrent exposure to corticosteroids were found to experience a compounding effect on the risk of tendon rupture, specifically a 46-fold greater predisposition
  • Some authors have recommended that patients with a history of Achilles tendinitis and advanced age should not be prescribed FQ antibiotics
  • Approximately 50 percent of patients will recover within 30 days, with 25 percent of patients having symptoms persistent for longer than two months
  • The mean latency period between the start of FQ treatment and occurrence of tendinopathy has been reported to be a few hours to months, with a median onset of 6 days
  • The exact pathophysiology of FQ-induced tendinopathy remains elusive
  • it is possible that FQs have a direct cytotoxic effect on enzymes found in mammalian musculoskeletal tissue
  • It has been theorized that FQs disproportionately affect human tendons that have a limited capacity for repair, such as in older patients or structural compromise (i.e., pre-existing tendinopathy or trauma)
  • histopathological findings are similar to those observed in overuse conditions in athletes
  • Treatment with a FQ should be discontinued and physical therapy initiated
  • treatment should include rest and decreasing the physical load on the tendon.
  • Approximately 85 percent of patients present in less than one month
  • Because rupture can occur even late in the course of treatment or after discontinuation of FQ use, patients receiving a FQ should be counseled to seek medical attention immediately if symptoms, such as redness, pain, swelling, and stiffness, develop
  • FQs should be used cautiously in patients with risk factors associated with tendinitis, such as advanced age, history of tendon rupture, corticosteroid use, and/or acute or chronic renal dysfunction
