It was presented that DEX had radioprotective effect on the liver after I-131 therapy and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities are likely to be involved in the mechanism underlying the radioprotective effects of DEX. After further studies, DEX might be used as a hepatoprotective treatment regimen before administering radioactive iodine therapy particularly in patients with hepatic disease.
Postoper atif ağr ı ve pediyatr ik delir yum (ED) postoperatif erken dönem negatif davranışlarıdır. Ancak birbirinden ayırt etmek çok zordur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, postoperatif erken dönemde ağrıyı ve ED'yi ayırmada FLACC ve OPS ölçeğinin kullanılabilirliğini karşılaştırmaktır. Materyal ve Metot: Bu pr ospektif çalışma bir üniversite hastanesinde yürütülmüştür. Altmış bir (61) çocuk çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Tüm çocuklara genel anestezi uygulanmıştır. ED insidansı PAED skalası ile ağrı insidansı postoperatif dönemde hem FLACC hem de OPS skalaları ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: En az bir değer lendir me zamanında, sadece deliryumlu çocuk sayısı 29 (%47,5), ağrısı olan çocuk sayısı 10 (%16,4) ve hem deliryum hem de ağrısı olan çocuk sayısı 25 (%40,9) idi. FLACC için 5. dakikada eğrinin altındaki alan (AUC = 0.914, P = 0.02) ve 15. dakikada eğrinin altındaki alan (AUC = 0.865, P <0.001) yüksekti. Sonuç: FLACC' in pediyatr ik hastalar da postoper atif dönemde ağrı ve deliryumu ayırt etmede kullanılabilirlği OPS'dan daha iyidir.
