  Journal of Dental Research and Oral Hygiene - (JDROH)   | Stephy publishers Abstract Objective: The effect of music listening on blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and anxiety level (AL) was investigated for thirty patients undergoing periodontal surgery. Methods: A total of sixty patients referred for periodontal surgery were randomized into two equal groups as i) without music (control), and ii) with music (test). Before and after the procedure, BP and HR were recorded. All patients responded to AL assessment using facial image scale (FIS) before and after surgery. After listening to music before and during the procedure BP, HR and AL were assessed for the test group. Results: Systolic BP (SBP) in both groups increased but showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). Diastolic BP (DBP) increased after treatment with no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between test (4.70 mmHg) and control (6.20 mmHg) groups. HR decreas...

  Authored  by  Samer Saadé Abstract Aim:  Salbutamol is the main treatment for asthma attacks. It can be given via inhaler, nebulizer or oral route. Nebulization is mainly used at emergency departments. The aim of our study is to compare the clinical efficacy of two nebulized salbutamol preparations Ventolin ®  GSK and Asthalin ®  CIPLA. Methods:  We conducted a prospective double blind randomized trial between April and December 2017 in which 30 children with asthma were included. Children were assigned randomly to receive nebulized Asthalin ®  or Ventolin ® , with 15 patients included in each study arm. For each patient, oxygen saturation, presence of wheezing, retractions and thoraco-abdominal asynchrony, before and after Salbutamol nebulization were recorded. The effect of each treatment dose on oxygen saturation and respiratory rate after stratification of the initial population was analyzed. Results:  Ventolin ®  increased oxygen ...
