The treatment of choice for hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury (HRS-AKI) is vasoconstrictor therapy in combination with albumin, preferably norepinephrine or terlipressin as recommended by recent guidelines. In the absence of larger head-to-head trials comparing the efficacy of terlipressin and norepinephrine, meta-analysis of smaller studies can provide insights needed to understand the …
Background. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the clinical efficacy of etoricoxib in comparison with traditional NSAIDs for postoperative pain after third molar surgery. Methods. The quality of studies found in PubMed and Google Scholar was evaluated with Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias tool. Data on total consumption of rescue analgesics, number of patients using resc…
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of oral etoricoxib administration before colposcopic procedure for pain relief during and after colposcopy. Methods: A prospective double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted at the colposcopy unit of Thammasat University Hospital, Thailand from August 2022 to January 2023. The participants were women undergoing colposcopy. …
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the impact of pre- and postoperative etoricoxib administration versus only postoperative on third molar extraction sequelae and oral health quality of life. Materials and methods: This prospective quasi experimental study involved 56 patients, divided into a study group receiving preemptive etoricoxib 120 mg before surgery and postoperative etoricoxib…
Pain is a major health issue globally. Etoricoxib, a highly selective COX-2 inhibitor, given orally, has been found to be efficacious and safe in the management of acute and chronic pain. Oral etoricoxib has been extensively studied; however, there is a lack of research exploring the use of etoricoxib via alternative routes, specifically intramuscular (IM) injection. This study aimed to evaluat…
Diffusional limitations of mass transport have adverse effects on engineering tissues that normally have high vascularity and cellularity. The current electrospinning method is not always successful to create micropores to encourage cell infiltration within the scaffold, especially when relatively large-sized pores are required. In this study, a slow rotating frame cylinder was developed as th…

After many cranial and spinal neurosurgical removal of meningiomas, reconstruction of the dura mater is needed. The dura has to be meticulously closed following craniotomy (Protasoni et al., 2011), but primary dural closure with sutures alone can be difficult in a loss of native dural tissue (i.e., convexity meningiomas), to enlarge the dural compartment (i.e.,inoperable intramedullary tumors) …

Hyperuricemia is strongly linked to increased cardiovascular risk, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrythmia, and heart failure. Uric acid, as the end-product of purine metabolism, plays a critical role in cellular processes, but elevated levels can drive inflammation and oxidative stress. This review aims to emphasize the robust association between hyperuricemia and cardiovasc…
