Minimum effective dose of plain bupivacaine 0.5% for ultrasound-guided spinal anaesthesia using Taylor's approach

AbstractTo determine the minimum effective dose of praziquantel against Hymenolepis diminuta in rats, 5.0 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg, or 0.05 mg/kg praziquantel were given to each of five experimentally infected rats in six groups. Faecal samples from each rat were examined for worms on day 10. Based on the results of faecal examination and autopsy, the minimum effective dose of praziquantel against Hymenolepis diminuta in rats was determined to be 0.5 mg/kg.

Radiopharmaceutical Agents

The treatment of hyperthyroidism with iodine-131 has been recognized on nuclear medicine as simple, effective and inexpensive, this kind of radiopharmaceutical is chosen by the majority of medical centers by administering a minimum effective dose enabling euthyroidism to be easily compensated as quickly as possible while avoiding radiation problems. In this mini_review, we are going to explain the diagnostic and therapeutic aspect of radiopharmaceuticals by taking an example of radioiodine I-131 and its role on hyperthyroidism treatment .

Severe Scoliosis

We describe a patient with severe scoliosis for which corrective surgery was performed at the age of 12. During a previous caesarean section under general anaesthesia pseudocholinesterase deficiency was discovered. Ultrasound guided spinal anaesthesia was performed enabling a second caesarean section under loco-regional anaesthesia.
