Analgesic efficacy of nephrostomy tract infiltration of bupivacaine and ketamine after tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy : a prospective randomized trial Ghent University
Background: Recently, the use of ketamine as a systemic and local analgesic drug in reducing post-operative pain is studied more frequently. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the analgesic efficacy of IV ketamine injection inaddition to nephrostomy tract infiltration of ketamine-bupivacaine on postoperative pain relief after tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Patients and Methods: Patients (n = 100), with renal ...

DNA methylation based glioblastoma subclassification is related to tumoral T-cell infiltration and patient survival Hasselt University KU Leuven
Background. Histologically classified glioblastomas (GBM) can have different clinical behavior and response to therapy, for which molecular subclassifications have been proposed. We evaluated the relationship of epigenetic GBM subgroups with immune cell infiltrations, systemic immune changes during radiochemotherapy, and clinical outcome. Methods. 450K genome-wide DNA methylation was assessed on tumor tissue from 93 patients with newly diagnosed ...
Pressure infiltration characteristics of foam for EPB shield tunnelling Ghent University
Infiltration of pressurised foam into saturated sand has been investigated in a laboratory setup that provides a comparable hydraulic gradient as in real tunnels. It appears that the permeability of sand for foam decreases as FER of the foam increases until a limit FER (approximately 15 for the foaming agent and sand used in this experiment). For higher FERs the permeability remains more or less constant. It was found that a 'dry' foam (FER = ...
Drying potential of wood frame walls subjected to accidental water infiltration Ghent University
Wood frame construction is the most widespread building method. In Belgium the number of wood frame buildings has grown in the last years: in 2018 over 10% of all new built dwellings were wood frame buildings. This increase can be partly attributed to the growing attention for energy performant buildings with a low environmental impact. In contrary to masonry construction, wood frame is more vulnerable to moisture problems, mould growth and wood ...
Local infiltration of anesthetics gives better results for pain and comfort scores then patient controlled anesthesia in total knee arthroplasty Ghent University
Background : Local infiltration of anesthetics (LIA) is an upcoming alternative method for analgesia following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It could replace patient controlled epidural anesthesia (PCEA). The advantages of LIA are faster mobilization, less risks compared to placement of an epidural catheter, and it increases patient care in a quantitative and qualitative way. On the other hand, PCEA provides prolonged analgesia postoperatively. ...
