The Impact of Prophylactic Dexamethasone, Metoclopramide or both on Nausea and Vomiting After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
...Show More Authors

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are one of the most common complaints following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective: This study was designed to compare the effects of dexamethasone, metoclopramide, and their combination on preventing PONV in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Methods: A total of 135 patients enrolled in the study. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II patients were included in this randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients were randomly assigned to group A administered 8mg iv dexamethasone, group B received metoclopramide 10 mg, group C received combination of 8mg dexamethasone and 10 mg metoclopramide and group D received 10 cc normal saline.The incidence of PONV, mean visual analog pain scores, request for analgesia, side effects , and well-being score were recorded during the first 24 h postoperatively.

Results: Total incidence of PONV during 24 hr was 24% in the dexamethasone group (group A), 47% in the metoclopramide group (group B), 15% in the dexamethasone plus metoclopramide group (group C) and 61% in the placebo group (group D).

None of the dexamethasone plus metoclopramide group patients required other antiemetic (B6 ample iv.), as compared with one patient in dexamethasone group, three patients in the metoclopramide group and five patients in the placebo group. Pain scores, the time to the first request for analgesia, and side effects were similar across the study groups.

Conclusions: Dexamethasone and the combination of dexamethasone plus metoclopramide were more effective in preventing PONV than metoclopramide and placebo.

Impact of a precise pH value change on the characteristics of deposited tin monosulphide films onto a flexible substrate
...Show More Authors

The chemical bath deposition technique (CBD) is considered the cheapest and easiest compared with other deposition techniques. However, it is highly sensitive to effective parameter deposition values such as pH, temperature, and so on. The pH value of the reaction solution has a direct impact on both the nucleation and growth rate of the film. Consequently, this study presents a novel investigation into the effect of a precise change. in the pH reaction solution value on the structural, morphological, and photoresponse characteristics of tin monosulphide (SnS) films. The films were grown on a flexible polyester substrate with pH values of 7.1, 7.4, and 7.7. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the grown films at pH 7.1 and 7.4 confirmed

Texture Analysis of smear of Leukemia Blood Cells after Exposing to Cold Plasma
...Show More Authors

Plasma physics and digital image processing technique (DIPT) were utilized in this research to show the effect of the cold plasma (plasma needle) on blood cells. The second order statistical features were used to study this effect. Different samples were used to reach the aim of this paper; the patients have leukemia and their leukocytes number was abnormal. By studying the results of statistical features (mean, variance, energy and entropy), it is concluded that the blood cells of the sample showed a good response to the cold plasma.
