Efficacy in the use of local anesthesia in patients with surgical intervention for the resolution of anorectal pathologies.

 Authors: Dowling, Victoria**. Cortez, Julio** General Surgery and Oncology Service, University Hospital Dr. Luis Gomez Lopez Barquisimeto- Venezuela.

A prospective, comparative, longitudinal study was conducted in the period from April 2016 to January 2017 in order to determine the efficacy of local anesthesia for the surgical resolution of anorectal pathologies in surgically operated patients who attended the General University Hospital "Luis Gomez Lopez. Thus, the population was composed of patients with anorectal pathologies of low complexity, with no previous anorectal surgical history (Hemorrhoids, anal fissure, perianal fistula, hypertrophic anal papilla, perianal condyloma acuminata), which were agreed to be included in this study, without contraindications for use of local anesthesia. A non-probabilistic, intentional sample was made up of 30 patients and the anesthetic protocol was administered following an anesthetic protocol of perianal local anesthesia using anesthetic mixture (70% of 2% Lidocaine + 30% of 0.5% Bupivacaine) quantifying pain tolerance during the intraoperative period on the first and fifth postoperative days, as well as any adverse effects. The results were expressed in absolute numbers and percentages; a good tolerance to pain was observed with some differences related to the sex of the individuals studied; no complications were observed.

Anorectal pathologies are one of the main causes of consultation in the General Surgery and Coloproctology Services.

Although these pathologies are usually treated medically, most of them will require a surgical solution at some point of their evolution; thus, establishing a surgical procedure will depend on the time of evolution, the size and location of the lesion, and the response to the medical treatment.
The evolution of surgical treatment in anorrectal pathologies allows us to consider both, ambulatory management and use of local anesthesia for their resolution. This allows a considerable decrease with respect to operating time, complications of anesthesia, time of inpatient hospital stay and operative stress of operated patients.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are a critical component of the effort to develop new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat cancer  and other diseases. "Some people think that clinical trials are the last resort," says Jack Whelan of Andover, Mass., who was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007. "I am a survivor of a rare not-yet-curable cancer. Forward-looking science, what is available in clinical trials, was the best choice for me." For researchers and clinicians, trials are critical to determining the potential benefits and safety of investigational cancer therapies  or for understanding if an existing medication could be useful for other types of cancer . Clinical trials are the last step before treatments are made widely available. They come after the completion of basic lab research and testing. Clinical testing in patients is key to understanding how a particular therapy will perform and what kinds of side effects may occur. Clinical tr

Tuberculosis infection and vaccination

Tuberculosis is generally caused by the bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis  which affects the lungs and sometimes affects the other parts of the body. This acts as an infectious disease as about 1% of the world population is affected by this infection every year. They are chronic cough with blood containing sputum, night sweats, weight loss, and fever. When the infection is spread to other organs it may cause a serious impact. Tuberculosis acts as a communicable disease which spread through the air. People with infection  in lungs spread infection through a cough, spit, speak and sneeze. These are mainly found in the people who are infected with HIV AIDS and those who smoke. Deduction and treatment must be done in the early period based on the X-ray and microscopic examination of the body fluids. They can be divided into pulmonary  and extrapulmonary . Pulmonary infection is where the disease spread inside the lungs which causes a cough with blood in some ext

The Chemistry of Food

The essential building blocks for everything in the world, be it living matter, including animals and plants, consists of chemicals . Nutrients in food such as carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber are all composed of  chemical compounds . Most of these building blocks occur naturally and contribute to our diet and eating experiences. However, certain chemicals have a variety of toxic properties, which can cause harm to the human and animal body. If we are exposed to them for a long time and that too at high levels, our body is subjected to compromise. Researchers  help us to stay safe from these chemicals by establishing safe levels. Even though Food Preservatives and coloring agents prolong the shelf life of foods; their over-consumption can cause ill-effects to the body. The presence of high levels of sugar in bottle drinks causes obesity in young children. Certain food packaging materials contain chemical substances such as plastics, whose elements can easily mig
