Background and Purpose: Today no method of topical anesthesia for intravitreal injection administration has been proven to make the patient comfortable yet. We compared the efficacy of topical levobupivacaine 0.75% and ... -
CNS Toxicity after Combined Sciatic and Femoral Nerve Block with Lidocaine
Özcan Ş.; Apan A.; Büyükkoçak Ü.; Başar H.; Erdemoğlu A.K. (2004)Combined sciatic-femoral nerve block was performed in a 48-year-old woman for the removal of a right lateral malleolar lesion. The patient became unconscious at the 12th minute of the block. As vital signs were stable and ... -
Comparison of hemodynamic effects with thoracic electrical bioimpedance monitoring in desfiumne anaesthesia applied with low and high flow
Background and Goal of Study: After the removal of exhaled CO2, rebrcathing of 50% or more of exhaled gases is possible during low flow anaesthesia. The purpose of this study is to compare the thoracic electrical bioimpedancc ... -

The Effects of Combination of Verapamil and MK-801 on Rat Neuropathic Pain Model
Özcan Ş.; Apan A.; Gültekin S. (2003)N-methly-D-aspartae receptor is activated by calcium. The effects of a calcium antagonist verapamil and N-methly-D-aspartae receptor antagonist MK-801 on thermal nociception in rat model of chronic nerve injury was well ... -
The effects of cyclohexyladenosine in morphine dependent mononeuropathic rats
Apan A. (2001)Opioid dependence is an important problem in the presence of chronic pain as neuropathy. The aim of present study was to determine the attenuating effect of cyclohexyladenosine (CHA) on morphine dependence and naloxone ... -
The effects of cyclohexyladenosine on cold water swim stress (CWSS) induced analgesia
Apan A. (2000)Cold water swimming induces analgesia on rats and mice. This analgesia is abolished by non-selective ? receptor antagonist naloxone and appears by delta-2 specific ? receptor agonist. The relation between CWSS and adenosine ... -
The effects of diclofenac sodium on cold water swim induced analgesia
Apan A.; Ozturkmen A. (1998)It was clearly demonstrated that cold water swimming induces analgesia in mice and rats; produced by opioid and non-opioid mechanisms. Aim of this study is to determine the effect of diclofenac sodium (DS) on this phenomenon. ... -
The effects of diclofenac sodium on cold water swim induced analgesia (CWSS) in mice
Apan A.; Ozturkmen A. (1999)It was clearly demonstrated that cold water swimming induces analgesia in mice and rats; via opioid and non-opioid mechanisms. Aim of this study is to determine the effects of diclofenac sodium (DS) on this phenomenon. 60 ... -
