Objective: To compare the effectiveness of metamizole versus ibuprofen for the reduction of pain in retinal photocoagulation (RP). RESUMOObjetivo: Comparar a efetividade da dipirona versus o ibuprofeno para a redução da dor na fotocoagulação da retina (FR). Método: Foi realizado um estudo controlado, duplo cego e randomizado englobando trinta e quatro pacientes com retinopatia diabética separados em dois grupos. Grupo A recebeu 1000mg de dipirona e o grupo B recebeu 600mg de ibuprofeno. A dor foi avaliada pela escala visual analógica. Resultado: A média do escore da dor nos grupos A e B foi de 5,2 ± 2.6 e 4,5 ± 1,4, respectivamente. Não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos (p=0,34). O mesmo foi observado quanto à analise entre dor leve, moderada e grave (p=0,09). Os grupos foram semelhantes quanto à idade e sexo. Conclusão: Os medicamentos foram equivalentes ou equipotentes em reduzir a dor ocular durante a fotocoagulação a laser da retina.
INOCA (ischemia with no obstructive arteries) is a heterogeneous condition clinically characterized by chest pain of ischemic etiology in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, which imposes significant impairment in quality of life, in addition to an increased risk of cardiovascular events. The mechanisms involved in the onset of symptoms and ischemia are not fully understood and appear to be multifactorial. Coronary microvascular dysfunction and epicardial coronary spasm, either alone or in combination, are well-docu-mented mechanisms. Confirmatory diagnosis can be performed through invasive tests for the characterization of INOCA endotypes, which are microvascular dysfunction and vasos-pasm. However, as it is an invasive evaluation of difficult access and high cost, diagnosis is presumptive in most cases. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach and should be guided by the pathophysiological mechanism involved and aims to improve symptoms, control cardiovascular risk factors, and identify precipitating factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
