KETOFOL VERSUS DEXMEDETOMIDINE FOR PREVENTING POSTOPERATIVE DELIRIUM IN ELDERLY PATIENTS UNDERGOING INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION SURGERIES: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED STUDY

Abstract Purpose Postoperative delirium (POD) is considered the most common postoperative neurological complication in elderly patients.The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the administration of ketofol versus dexmedetomidine (DEX) for minimizing POD in elderly patients undergoing urgent exploration for intestinal obstruction.Metho

Variational methods for image registration basically involve a regularizer to ensure that the resulting well-posed problem admits a solution.Different choices of regularizers lead to different deformations.On one hand, the conventional regularizers, such as the elastic, diffusion and curvature regularizers, are able to generate globally smooth defo

Climate and weather conditions influence energy demand.as well as electricity generation, especially due to the strong development of renewable energy.The changes of the European energy mix, together with ongoing climate change, raise a number of questions on impact on the electricity sector.In Specialty Pipes this paper we present results for the

We investigate emerging mobile crowd sensing (MCS) systems, in which new cloud-based platforms sequentially allocate homogenous sensing jobs to dynamically-arriving users with uncertain service qualities.Given that human beings here are selfish in nature, it is crucial yet challenging to design an efficient and truthful incentive mechanism to encou
