Abstract

Background: Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) compared to general anesthesia has some pits and falls. Many drugs have been employed for this anesthesia. Propofol is accounted as the last advent anesthetic drug. It belongs to alkyl phenol families and has been accounted one of the best choices for the continuous infusion. Invention of midazolam as the first water soluble benzodiazepine was also an important event in anesthesia and it can be used as continuous infusion for the anesthesia.

Materials and Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, alfentanyl plus propofol or midazolam were used for TIVA anesthesia in 60 female patients undergoing Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) in Dr.Shariati hospital in March 2002 till March 2003. They were allocated reandomly in two group of alfentanyl plus propofol (propofol group) or alfentanyl plus midazolam (midazolam group)

Results: There was no significant difference in mean of age between propofol group and midazolam group (P>0.05), also There was no significant difference in preanesthesia condition such as blood pressure and heart rate between propofol group and midazolam group (p>0.05). After induction of anesthesia there was a gross blood pressure decrease in both group that it was greater in midazolam group (85 mmHg versus 73 mmHg, P<0.05 ) following this, there was an increase in heart rate in both groups that it was modest in propofol group (98 Beat/Sec versus 118 Beat/Sec, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in mean infused alfentanyl (P>0.05) also there was just one naloxane injection in midazolam group that have no significant difference between groups (P>0.05). Recovery room stay was significantly lower in propofol group (25 minutes versus 39 minutes, P<0.05).

Conclusion: The results of this study was similar to Vuyk et.al.In their study there was a significant lower recovery time estimated by psychomotor reflexes and there was significant lower drowsiness, place and time orientation time compared to midazolam group. Finally according to the results of this study it can be resulted that TIVA with propofol is more suitable than midazolam and it can lower hospitalization time and cost. In future studies using other narcotics and other narcotics-anesthetic compounds with various dose can be mentioned.

Volume 72, Issue 7 (October 2014)
Abstract
Background: Morbid obesity is associated with a some of significant comorbidities. Early and uneventful postoperative recovery of obese patients remains a challenge for anesthesiologists. It seems Bispecteral Index (BIS) monitoring may reduce drug usage and hasten recovery time in inhalation anesthesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of BIS monitoring on intraoperative isoflurane utilization and the early recovery profile. Methods: Fifty morbidly obese adult patients (Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 kg/m2 or grater) undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Urmia Imam Khomeini Hospital were enrolled in this prospective, Cohort and single blind study. Duration of this study was six months between April to September 2012. Patients were randomly divided two groups (25 patients per group). In the first phase of the study, patients were anesthetized without the use of BIS monitoring and isoflurane being administered according to standard clinical practice (this group formed the control group). In a second phase, with use of BIS monitoring isoflurane was titrated to maintain a BIS value between 40 and 60 during surgery, and then 60-70 during 15 min before the end of surgery (this group formed the BIS group). Isoflurane consumption and recovery time were compared between two groups. Results: All patients completed the study. No differences were noted between demographic data. The isoflurane consumption in the BIS group was 30-35% lower than in the control group (P< 0.001). The time to awakening and duration of extubation in the BIS group were significantly less than the control group (P< 0.001). Furthermore, analgesic consumption in the recovery room and sedation score during postoperative phase were similar between the groups. Significant differences were noted in recovery time between two groups (P< 0.001). Conclusion: The addition of Bispectral index monitoring to standard monitoring reduced isoflurane usage. We found use of BIS hastened recovery time after isoflurane anesthesia.

Volume 72, Issue 8 (November 2014)
Abstract
Background: Radiotherapy can cause DNA damage in normal cells, misrepaired or unrepaired double strand breaks in DNA lead to chromosomal breaks. As a result patient experience early and late effects in normal tissue during and after radiotherapy. Cytogenetic techniques can be used as a cancer predictive assay because there is an association between chromosome abnormalities and the risk of developing cancer. Also it can assess patient's complications during the therapy. The aim of the present study was evaluation of the cytogenetic alteration in peripheral blood lymphocytes of esophageal cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. Methods: The present study is an experimental and prospective research. It was done at radiotherapy department at Omid Center in Urmia from January to December 2012. Blood samples were obtained from 15 esophageal cancer patients, before (0 Gy), during (21.6 Gy), and after radiotherapy treatment (43.2 Gy). Blood samples were cultured in RPMI-1640 complete medium containing 1% phytohaemagglutinin and incubated in a CO2 incubator. Cytochalasin-B was added to the cultures at a final concentration of 5 µg/ml. Finally, harvesting, slide making, and analysis were performed according to standard procedures. Results: This study consisted of 15 patients, including 7 men and 8 women from 55 to 84 years old (70.07±11.548). Results indicate that, in the middle of treatment the average frequency of micronuclei increased significantly compared with their concurrent pre-treatment samples (greater than four-fold). Also, an increase in chromosome damage (MN frequency) proportional increasing radiation doses at the end of treatment was observed (P=0.001). Conclusion: Increasing in the MN frequency in the second and third stages is due to radiation effects. Thus, the use of the MN technique for assessing of the side effects in patients during the therapy is very helpful. Moreover, MN assay can be used as a predictive assay for detecting individuals (patient or healthy) with intrinsic radiosensitivity.

Abstract
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia after cardiac surgery. AF leads to longer duration of hospitalization, thromboembolism, and impaired hemodynamics after heart surgery. One of the most important causes of postoperative AF, inflammation, and oxidative stress status. For this reason, it is useful to control the dysrhythmia. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) as an antioxidant that has an important role in reducing the incidence of postoperative AF. The present study aimed at administering CoQ10 as a way to reduce the incidence of post-CABG atrial fibrillation. Methods: In this double-blind randomized controlled trial study, 80 patients with coronary artery disease who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in Rajaie Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center from April to November 2014, randomized are divided into intervention and control groups to receive placebo or CoQ10 The surgical characteristics of the patients in two groups were similar. The intervention group will receive the oral CoQ10 supplement 150 mg/d for 7 days before surgery. After operation two groups were compared regarding important outcomes such as postoperative arrhythmia, intensive care unite (ICU) stay and hospital stay. Atrial arrhythmias are considered significant If more than 10 minutes duration atrial and with a shorter duration of arrhythmia, but with recurrence again. Results: Thirty-eight women and forty-two men with a mean age of 58.37±7.98 years were enrolled in the study in two CoQ10 and placebo groups (each consisting of 40 patients). The incidence of postoperative AF was 45% in the control group to 20% in the intervention group decreased after supplementation (P=0.030). ICU stay and length of in-hospital stay did not significant. The incidence of arrhythmias ventricular tachycardia (VT) and VF in this period was not significant (P=0.865). Conclusion: Q10 supplements have low side effects. Due to the reduction in the incidence of AF in patients after, CABG, these supplements can be recommended for the prevention of AF.

Abstract
Background: The patient's position during the recovery time after arthroplasty surgery can be a factor in reducing complications and improving patients’ condition. Therefore, this study was performed to compare the knee range of motion after soft tissue repair in both flexion and extension positions of total knee arthroplasty.
Methods: This study is a double-blind clinical trial. The study population was all candidates for total knee arthroplasty surgery in Al-Zahra and Kashani hospitals in Isfahan from July 2011 to September 2012. The sample size was selected using the statistical formula of 88 patients and randomly divided into two groups of flexion and extension. In the first group during the knee soft tissue repair, the knee was in flexion and in the second group it was in extension and then it was repaired. Information such as age, sex, body mass index and surgical position were recorded in the checklist. The knee range of motion was measured at the end of the first, second, fourth, eighth and twelfth weeks and recorded in a checklist. In order to compare the pattern of changes in mean knee range of motion over time in the two groups, mixed linear models and conventional marginal models to generalized estimator equations were used by STATA software.
Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference between the flexion and extension groups in knee range of motion. In both groups, the mean knee range of motion increased with time (P<0.001). The mean scores of knee function after the end of the twelfth week in the flexion and extension groups were 141.04±23.19 and 143.09±22.34, respectively, and this difference was not significant.
Conclusion: Soft tissue repair in a particular position is not so effective on the outcome that we want to institutionalize it by spending a considerable amount of budget for training surgeons.

Abstract
Background: The experience of existential distress, along with other forms of distress, is one of the common experiences in end-of-life patients. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to review related studies and conceptualize existential distress in palliative care of cancer patients.
Methods: This study was a systematic review, which was conducted from May 1 to July 31, 1402 at Allameh Tabatabai University and search strategy was written and performed in MEDLINE, Web of Science/PubMed and Scopus databases from the beginning of 2003 to the end of 2022. The inclusion criteria included all quantitative, qualitative, mixed and review studies that focused on the experience of adult patients. Lack of access to the full text of the article and studies in non-English language, clinical trial (randomized and non-randomized), letter to the editor, case report and protocol were excluded from the list of studies. After removing duplicate articles, two research authors reviewed the studies independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the differences between them were resolved by discussion.
Results: After searching, screening and selecting articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, finally 22 articles were included in the study, of which three were review articles, eight were quantitative and 11 were qualitative. Terminally cancer patients experience existential distress, and the data are significant for estimating the prevalence of these symptoms, especially in the severe category. In addition to examining the prevalence of this symptom, patients have described their experience of existential distress in several categories: Feelings of loneliness and isolation (or loss of support system), relationship concerns (concerns about family, changes in relationships, and conflictual relationships), loss of control/autonomy (physical control, cognitive and emotional control), burden on others, loss of sense of continuity (loss of roles, pleasurable activities and sense of self), uncompleted life tasks, hopelessness/helplessness, dissolving of the future, uncertainty and frightening ambiguity, feeling guilt/ regret about the past, lack of meaning, inevitable thoughts of death.
Conclusion: It seems that the themes raised beyond cultural differences show the universal human suffering, whose accurate conceptualization can help to develop effective therapeutic interventions to reduce existential distress.
