O naproxeno, assim como outros anti-inflamatórios não esteroides (AINEs), está entre os medicamentos mais prescritos no mundo. O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar o efeito da ingestão de naproxeno em parâmetros neuromusculares e determinar seu efeito no dano muscular por meio do uso do marcador lactato. Metodologicamente, foi conduzido um estudo cruzado randomizado, duplo-cego e controlado por placebo em 11 homens treinados em resistência, que realizaram uma sessão de treinamento de força após ingerir 500 mg de naproxeno e outra sessão de treinamento após ingerir um placebo. Os participantes realizaram três séries de supino horizontal com uma carga de 90% da repetição máxima (1RM) até a falha concêntrica. As variáveis de resultado incluíram número de repetições, carga de trabalho e lactato. Os resultados mostraram que há uma correlação positiva e moderada entre as variáveis somatório de repetições e carga total e entre as variáveis lactato e carga total, no grupo naproxeno. No grupo placebo, a correlação positiva e moderada deu-se entre somatório de repetições e carga total. Na análise magnitude baseada nas interferências, as variáveis se mostraram possíveis para uma probabilidade positiva ou trivial e improvável para uma probabilidade negativa. Concluiu-se no presente estudo que o uso do naproxeno como recurso ergogênico no treinamento de força reduz a percepção de fadiga, mas não tem efeito direto no dano muscular, analisado a partir do marcador lactato, logo não interfere de maneira significativa nos parâmetros neuromusculares analisados.
Naproxen, as other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), features among the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of naproxen intake on neuromuscular parameters and determine its effect on muscle damage through the use of the lactate marker. In terms of methodology, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study was conducted on 11 resistance-trained men who underwent a strength training session after taking 500 mg of naproxen and another training session after taking a placebo. The participants performed three sets of horizontal bench presses with a load of 90% maximum repetition (1RM) until concentric failure. Result variables included number of repetitions, workload and lactate. The results showed that there is a positive and moderate correlation between the sum of repetition and total load variables and between lactate and total load variables in the naproxen group. In the placebo group, a positive and moderate correlation was observed between sum of repetitions and total load. In the magnitude analysis, based on the interferences, the variables were shown to be possible for a positive or trivial probability and unlikely for a negative probability. It was concluded that the use of naproxen as an ergogenic resource in strength training reduces the perception of fatigue but has no direct effect on muscle damage when analyzed from the lactate marker, therefore it does not significantly interfere in the analyzed neuromuscular parameters.

Bone grafting is important to preserve the alveolar bone ridge height and volume for dental implant placement. Even though implant-supported overdentures present highly successful outcomes, it seems that a great number of edentulous individuals have not pursued implant-based rehabilitation. The cost of the treatment is one of the reasons of discrepancy between highly successful therapy and its acceptance. Therefore, the development of biomaterials for bone grafting with comparable characteristics and biological effects than those renowned internationally, is necessary. In addition, domestic manufacture would reduce the high costs in public health arising from the application of these biomaterials in the dental feld. The purpose of this clinical case report is to provide preliminary clinical evidence of the efficacy of a new bovine bone graft in the bone healing process when used for sinus floor elevation. (AU)
El uso de injertos óseos es importante para preservar la altura y el volumen de la cresta alveolar para la colocación de implantes dentales. Si bien las sobredentaduras implanto-soportadas presentan resultados altamente exitosos, la mayoría de las personas desdentadas no han sido rehabilitadas mediante implantes dentales. Uno de los principales motivos por los cuales los pacientes no aceptan este tipo de tratamiento, altamente exitoso, es el elevado costo del mismo. Por ello, es necesario el desarrollo de biomateriales de injerto óseo con características y efectos biológicos comparables a los reconocidos internacionalmente. Asimismo, la fabricación nacional reduciría los altos costos en Salud Pública derivados de la aplicación de estos biomateriales en el campo dental. El objetivo de esta comunicación es presentar un caso clínico a fin de proporcionar evidencia preliminar acerca de la eficacia de un nuevo injerto de hueso bovino en el proceso de cicatrización ósea en el levantamiento del piso del seno maxilar.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Pain related to orthodontic tooth movement is common and cause dissatisfaction and discomfort. Objective: The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of naproxen patches in pain control during orthodontic tooth separation, by means of visual analogue scale (VAS) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Methods: In this split-mouth triple-blind clinical trial, with 40 patients following separation, 5% naproxen or placebo patches were randomly placed on the upper right or left first molars every 8 hours. Pain intensity scores were determined after 2 and 6 hours, sleep time, 24 hours, days 2, 3 and 7 by the patients using a 100-mm VAS ruler. IL-1β levels in GCF were evaluated by ELISA at baseline, 1 and 24 hours and 7 days. Paired samples t-tests and two-way repeated measures ANOVA analysis of variance with a significance level of 0.05 were applied. Results: A total number of 30 patients (13 males and 17 females) finished the trial. Significant differences were found in pain scores (p< 0.0001) and IL-1β levels (p= 0.047) between naproxen and placebo groups. Lower pain scores were reported for the patients using naproxen patches at all time points, except 1 hour after separation. IL-1β levels were lower for the patients using naproxen patches only 1 hour after separation (p= 0.047). The peak of pain scores and IL-1β levels were calculated at 24 hours. Conclusion: In the light of VAS scores and IL-1β levels, naproxen patches reduced the pain caused by separator placement.
RESUMO Introdução: a dor relacionada à movimentação dentária ortodôntica é comum e causa insatisfação e desconforto. Objetivo: o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia de curativos de naproxeno no controle da dor durante a separação ortodôntica dos dentes, por meio de escalas visuais analógicas (EVA) e dos níveis de interleucina 1β (IL-1β) no fluido crevicular gengival (FCG). Métodos: neste ensaio clínico, triplo-cego, boca dividida, com 40 pacientes após a separação dos dentes, foram aplicados, de forma aleatória, curativos com naproxeno a 5% ou placebo, nos primeiros molares superiores, direito ou esquerdo, a cada 8 horas. Os escores de intensidade da dor foram registrados pelos pacientes após 2 e 6 horas, durante o sono, após 24 horas, 2, 3 e 7 dias, usando uma EVA de 100 mm. Os níveis de IL-1β no FCG foram avaliados pelo ELISA no momento inicial, e após 1 e 24 horas e 7 dias. Foram aplicados testes t para amostras pareadas e ANOVA de duas vias para medidas repetidas, com nível de significância de 0,05. Resultados: no total, 30 pacientes (13 homens e 17 mulheres) terminaram o ensaio clínico. Diferenças significativas foram encontradas nos escores de dor (p< 0,0001) e níveis de IL-1β (p= 0,047) entre os grupos naproxeno e placebo. Índices mais baixos de dor foram relatados pelos pacientes que usaram curativos de naproxeno em todos os tempos avaliados, com exceção de 1 hora após a separação. Os níveis de IL-1β foram menores nos pacientes que usaram os curativos de naproxeno apenas 1 'hora após a separação (p= 0,047). Os picos dos escores de dor e dos níveis de IL-1β foram registrados 24 horas após a separação. Conclusão: considerando-se os escores das EVAs e os níveis de IL-1β, pode-se concluir que os curativos de naproxeno reduziram a dor causada pela instalação dos separadores ortodônticos.

Introdução: o naproxeno é um anti-inflamatório não esteroidal (AINE) encontrado nas formas farmacêuticas cápsulas e comprimidos. A análise do efeito de diferentes tipos de excipientes na formulação representa uma importante ferramenta no que diz respeito à influência na dissolução. Objetivo: analisar o efeito de diferentes tipos e quantidades de excipientes no perfil de dissolução de cápsulas de naproxeno. Material e Método: foram manipuladas 4 fórmulas de cápsulas de naproxeno na concentração de 250 mg, com variações de excipientes quanto às concentrações de diluentes, molhantes e desintegrantes. No teste de dissolução, foram avaliadas 6 unidades de cada formulação, em tampão fosfato pH 7,4 (900mL), aparato pá + sinker, 50 rpm, em 6 diferentes tempos de coleta, com leitura das amostras obtidas em 332 nm. Para a determinação da porcentagem de princípio ativo liberado em função do tempo no teste de perfil de dissolução, foi previamente construída uma curva de calibração com 5 concentrações diferentes. Segundo USP (2013), a porcentagem mínima de dissolução de comprimidos de naproxeno aos 45 minutos é de no mínimo 80%. Resultados: todas as formulações se encontram dentro das especificações farmacopéicas, sendo que a formulação 1 apresentou melhor perfil de dissolução do naproxeno, além de ser a formulação com menor custo de preparo, constatando a influência da quantidade e do tipo de excipiente. Conclusão: a melhor combinação dos tipos e quantidades de excipientes em uma formulação magistral é essencial para garantir a qualidade e a eficácia dos fármacos manipulados, especialmente os Classe II no Sistema de Classificação Biofarmacêutica.
Introduction: Naproxen is a Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) found in pharmaceutical forms capsules and tablets. The analysis of the effect with different kinds of excipients in magistral formulation represents an important tool to the influence on the dissolution. Purpose: to analyze the effect of different kinds and amounts of excipients on the dissolution profile of naproxen capsules. Material and Method: 4 naproxen capsule formulations in the 250 mg concentration were manipulated, with excipient variations regarding concentrations of diluents, wetting agents and disintegrants. In the dissolution test, 6 units of each formulation were evaluated in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 (900mL), paddle + sinker apparatus, 50 rpm, in 6 different collection times, with a reading of the samples obtained at 332 nm. For percentage determination of active principle released in function of time in dissolution profile test, a calibration curve with 5 different concentrations was previously constructed.

Eugenol has been employed for decades as a condiment, an antimycotic, an antibacterial, an antiviral, and an antioxidant, and it is one of the natural analgesics most frequently utilized for pain and inflammation. Our objective was to determine the analgesic/anti-inflammatory effect of eugenol compared with diclofenac, naproxen, and tramadol using the formalin test. The formalin method was used in 6- to 10-week-old Wistar rats (weighing 250 g each) divided into six groups: saline (0.9%); formalin (5%); diclofenac (250 µg/kg); naproxen (400 µg/kg); tramadol (500 µg/kg), and eugenol (1,400 µg/kg), in the intraplantar part of the hind-end trunk of the rats, with n = 5 per group. Eugenol diminished 44.4% of nociceptive behavior in phase 1 and 48% in phase 2 (p ≤0.05 vs formalin). Eugenol was shown to be 1.14 times more effective than diclofenac, but 1.62 and 1.75 times less effective than naproxen and tramadol, respectively, in phase 1 and 1.45 times less effective than diclofenac and naproxen and 1.66 less effective than tramadol in phase 2 (p ≤0.05). These data suggest that eugenol possesses moderate activity in the acute pain phase and greater activity in inflammatory-type pain, and both effects are comparable to those produced by diclofenac and are less than the effects produced by naproxen and tramadol in the formalin test

Los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINEs) se encuentran entre los fármacos más utilizados en la práctica clínica. Actúan mediante el bloqueo de las enzimas ciclooxigenasas (COX), pero el grado de inhibición de COX-1 y COX-2 varía entre ellos. Se ha generalizado la clasificación entre COX-2 selectivos o coxibs, y los no selectivos o AINEs tradicionales. Tanto los efectos analgésico y antiinflamatorio como los efectos adversos cardiovasculares dependen de la inhibición de COX-2. Este trabajo revisa las evidencias disponibles del aumento del riesgo de eventos trombóticos tanto para los coxibs como para los AINEs tradicionales. El efecto protrombótico podría deberse a la inhibición de la COX-2 endotelial, con disminución de la prostaciclina y un incremento relativo de los niveles del tromboxano plaquetario. Los coxibs y el diclofenac, 150 mg/día, aumentarían el riesgo de eventos vasculares mayores en más de un tercio. El ibuprofeno 2400 mg/día aumentaría levemente el riesgo de eventos coronarios. El naproxeno 1000 mg/día no incrementaría el riesgo de eventos vasculares. Además, el ibuprofeno y el naproxeno tienen el potencial del disminuir el efecto cardioprotector de bajas dosis de aspirina. El naproxeno (≤ 1000 mg/día) y el ibuprofeno a bajas dosis (≤ 1200 mg/día) deberían considerarse los AINEs con el mejor perfil de seguridad cardiovascular. Las decisiones terapéuticas deben basarse en una adecuada evaluación del riesgo del paciente, utilizando los AINEs más seguros, a las menores dosis efectivas, por el menor tiempo posible que permita el control de los síntomas, restringiendo su utilización en enfermos con aumento del riesgo cardiovascular.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used drugs in clinical practice. They block cyclooxygenases (COX) enzymes, but the degree of inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 varies between them. In general, NSAIDs are classified in selective COX-2 or coxibs and non-selective or traditional NSAIDs. Both the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as the cardiovascular adverse effects, depend on the COX-2 inhibition. This paper reviews the available evidence of the increased risk of thrombotic events for both coxibs and traditional NSAID. The prothrombotic effect could be due to the inhibition of endothelial COX-2, with a decrease in production of prostacyclin and a relative increase in platelet thromboxane levels. Coxibs and diclofenac 150 mg/day seem to increase the risk of major vascular events by more than a third. Ibuprofen 2400 mg/day could slightly increase the risk of coronary events. Naproxen 1000 mg/day apparently does not increase the risk of vascular events. Besides ibuprofen and naproxen have the potential to decrease the cardioprotective effect of low doses of aspirin. Naproxen (≤ 1000 mg/day) and low doses of ibuprofen (≤ 1200 mg/day) are considered to have the most favorable thrombotic cardiovascular safety profiles of all NSAIDs. Therapeutic decisions should be based on an assessment of a person´s individual risk factors, using the safest NSAIDs, at the lowest effective doses, for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms, restricting their use in patients with increased cardiovascular risk.

SUMMARY The authors report a case of a 69-year-old man with idiopathic leukocytoclastic cutaneous vasculitis. For three years, the lesions recurred with progressive worsening and were associated with systemic manifestations of low-grade fever, weight loss and raised inflammatory markers. The patient latter presented a 6th cranial nerve involvement, raising the concern of a possible systemic vasculitis, which was latter evidenced by the development of deep vein thrombosis and angina pectoris. The treatment of the patient witch based on the decreasing of inflammatory activity, by using effective immunosuppressive therapy, with lower toxicity is more important than identifying the type of the vasculitis. This case illustrates the importance of awareness for the systemic involvement that can occur in up to 50% of patients with leukocytoclastic cutaneous vasculitis.
RESUMO Os autores reportam um caso de vasculite leucocitoclástica recidivante num homem de 69 anos. Durante cerca de três anos as lesões cutáneas de vasculite leucocitoclástica reapareceram periodicamente, acompanhando-se sempre de um quadro sistêmico caracterizado por febrícula, perda de peso e astenia, assim como aumento de novo dos parâmetros inflamatórios. O aparecimento de parésia do sexto par craniano no decurso de uma dessas recorrências cutâneas levantou a hipótese de estarmos perante uma vasculite mais agressiva, com envolvimento extracutâneo. Esse envolvimento sistêmico foi novamente evidente com aparecimento de angina pectoris e trombose venosa profunda. Atualmente, mais do que a identificação do tipo de vasculite, a abordagem dos doentes com essa patologia assenta na cessação da atividade inflamatória recorrendo a terapêutica imunossupressora eficaz, com a menor toxicidade possível. Destacamos a importância da vigilância do componente sistêmico, que pode ocorrer até 50% na vasculite leucocitoclástica cutânea.

El absceso de psoas es una enfermedad relativamente rara. Muchos casos presentan características clínicas atípicas. El absceso de psoas puede ser primario en pacientes inmunodeprimidos o secundario a infecciones gastrointestinales y genitourinarias. En los países no desarrollados, la mayoría de estos pueden ser de etiología tuberculosa. Una alta sospecha clínica, una buena historia clínica y estudios de imagen, pueden ser útiles en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la enfermedad. El tratamiento temprano con antibióticos, drenaje guiado o cirugía abierta es necesario debido a su alta morbimortalidad. Se reporta el caso de un paciente varón de 57 años con historia de Diabetes mellitus (DM) de 20 años de evolución, quien refiere dolor en región lumbar izquierda asociada a aumento de volumen y fiebre intermitente, por lo que se hospitaliza, detectándose un absceso de psoas izquierdo, el cual es drenado por cirugía abierta con abordaje extra-peritoneal, presentando evolución favorable.
Psoas abscess is a relatively rare disease. Many cases present atypical clinical features. Psoas abscess may be primary in immunosuppressed patients or secondary to gastrointestinal and genitourinary infections. In non-developed countries most of these can be of tuberculous etiology. A high clinical suspicion, a good clinical history and imaging studies can be useful in diagnosing the disease. Early treatment with antibiotics, guided drainage or open surgery is necessary due to its high morbidity and mortality. It's reported the case of a male patient of 57 years with a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) of 20 years of evolution, who referred pain in the left lumbar region associated with increased volume and intermittent fever, so he is hospitalized, detecting an extensive left psoas abscess which is drained by open surgery with extraperitoneal approach, showing favorable evolution.

BACKGROUND: The pain involved in orthodontic treatments may involve inflammatory processes. This study evaluated the effect of using a naproxen patch for pain reduction in the separating stage of fixed orthodontic treatment. METHODS: In this double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial of 35 orthodontic patients (age: 14–19 years) who had pain during separator placement, each patient randomly placed naproxen and placebo patches in the first permanent molar region, in opposite quadrants of the same jaw. Patches were replaced every 8 hours until 3 days after separator placement. Patients recorded their pain perception at 2, 6, and 24 hours, and on days 2 (6 PM), 3 (10 AM and 6 PM), and 7 (10 AM and 6 PM), using a visual analog scale. Mean pain scores were compared for the two patches, and effects of sex and age thereon determined. RESULTS: Data from 29 patients (21 girls, eight boys) were analyzed. Mean pain values decreased over time for both patches (P < 0.001). Recorded pain did not differ significantly between the sexes (P = 0.059) or between those aged <16 and those ≥16 years (P = 0.106). Mean pain recorded with naproxen patches was statistically significantly less than that with placebo patches at all time points (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION: The naproxen patch was more efficient than the placebo patch for reducing pain at all time points. The highest pain score was recorded at 6 hours, and the least pain was recorded at the 7th day after separator placement.

PURPOSE: Headache is a common symptom during childhood. It is usually persistent and requires special care. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of headache in children < 7 years of age. METHODS: We reviewed 3 years of clinical files on children < 7 years of age with a chief complaint of headache. RESULTS: This study included 146 children (66 males, 80 females; mean age, 5.5±1.0 years). Mean symptom duration was 5.8±7.9 months. Attack durations were longer than 2 hours in 31 patients, shorter than 2 hours in 70 patients, and unchecked in 45 patients. Attack frequency was 15.1±10.6 times per month. Pain locations and characteristics were also variable. Mean pain severity score was 5.1±2.2 on the visual analog scale. Of 38 patients who underwent electroencephalography, 9 showed positive findings. Of 41 who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging, 20 showed positive findings. The diagnoses were migraine (including probable migraine) in 34, tension-type headache in 5, and congenital malformations in 3. Medications were used in 29 patients: acetaminophen in 17, ibuprofen in 8, naproxen sodium in 1, and topiramate or amitriptyline in 3. CONCLUSION: In children aged < 7 years, headache has a relatively benign course, but detailed history taking is needed for more accurate diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the cardiovascular (CV) and gastrointestinal (GI) risks of etoricoxib in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) compared to a placebo and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). METHODS: A systematic review of randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) of etoricoxib were performed. Bayesian network meta-analysis was used over a duration of 12 weeks. The incidence of CV and GI events for a duration ≥26 weeks were also tabulated and presented using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: From this search, 10 studies were identified. Of these, 6 and 5 RCTs that measured the CV and GI events at 12 weeks were included in meta-analysis. They showed that etoricoxib did not increase the CV events compared to the placebo or NSAIDs during the 12 week period (odds ratio [OR]=0.59 compared to celecoxib, OR=0.89 with ibuprofen, OR=0.70 with placebo, and OR=2.16 with naproxen). The risk of GI events was comparable to that of most comparators, with the exception of naproxen, which had a significantly lower risk of GI events (OR=0.18) during the 12 week period. For a duration ≥26 weeks, the incidence of CV and GI events with etoricoxib increased with increasing duration. CONCLUSION: Etoricoxib is an alternative short-term treatment option for OA, showing comparable CV and GI complications to other NSAIDs. Nevertheless, further studies will be needed to elucidate the long-term safety of etoricoxib in the treatment of OA.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used to control arthroscopic pain. Addition of oral effective opioid "codeine" to NSAIDs may be more effective and decrease parenteral opioid consumption in the postoperative period. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and side effects of naproxen sodium and a new preparation naproxen sodium-codeine phosphate when administered preemptively for arthroscopic meniscectomy. METHODS: Sixty-one patients were randomized into two groups to receive either oral naproxen sodium (Group N) or naproxen sodium-codeine phosphate (Group NC) before surgery. The surgery was carried out under general anesthesia. Intravenous meperidine was initiated by patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for all patients. The primary outcome measure was pain score at the first postoperative hour assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Sedation assessed by Ramsey Sedation Scale, first demand time of PCA, postoperative meperidine consumption, side effects and hemodynamic data were also recorded. RESULTS: The groups were demographically comparable. Median VAS scores both at rest and on movement were significantly lower in Group NC compared with Group N, except 18th hour on movement (p < 0.05). The median time to the first demand of PCA was shorter in Group N compared with Group NC (p < 0.001). Meperidine consumption was higher in Group N compared with Group NC (p < 0.001). There was no difference between groups with respect to side effects (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The combination of naproxen sodium-codeine phosphate provided more effective analgesia than naproxen sodium and did not increase side effects.
RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Os anti-inflamatórios não esteroides (AINEs) são frequentemente usados para controlar a dor após artroscopia. A adição de um opiáceo oral eficaz (codeína) aos AINEs pode ser mais efetiva e diminuir o consumo de opiáceo parenteral no pós-operatório. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a eficácia e os efeitos colaterais de naproxeno sódico e uma nova preparação, naproxeno sódico-fosfato de codeína, quando administrados preventivamente para meniscectomia artroscópica. MÉTODOS: Foram randomicamente divididos em dois grupos 61 pacientes para receber naproxeno sódico por via oral (Grupo N) ou naproxeno sódico-fosfato de codeína (Grupo NC) antes da cirurgia. A cirurgia foi feita sob anestesia geral. Meperidina intravenosa foi iniciada por meio de analgesia controlada pelo paciente (ACP) para todos os pacientes. O desfecho primário foi o escore de dor na primeira hora de pós-operatório, avaliada com a escala visual snalógica (EVA). A sedação foi avaliada com a escala de sedação de Ramsey. A primeira demanda de ACP, o consumo de meperidina no pós-operatório, os efeitos colaterais e os dados hemodinâmicos também foram registrados. RESULTADOS: Os grupos foram demograficamente comparáveis. As medianas dos escores EVA tanto em repouso quanto em movimento foram significativamente menores no Grupo NC comparado com o Grupo N; exceto para movimento na avaliação de 18 horas (p < 0,05). A mediana do tempo até a primeira demanda de ACP foi menor no Grupo N em comparação com o Grupo NC (p < 0,001). O consumo de meperidina foi maior no Grupo N em comparação com o Grupo NC (p < 0,001). Não houve diferença entre os grupos em relação aos efeitos colaterais (p > 0,05). CONCLUSÕES: A combinação de naproxeno sódico-fosfato de codeína forneceu analgesia mais efetiva que naproxeno sódico, sem aumentar os efeitos colaterais.

Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) can be caused by novel or unaccustomed exercise resulting in a temporary decrease in muscle function, increased muscle soreness and swelling, and an increase in muscle proteins in blood. A 38-year-old female presented with a 2-week history of bilateral lower leg pain and swelling that developed suddenly after performing 108 prostrations. Fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral symmetric high signal intensity of the tibialis anterior muscles. Our patient was diagnosed with acute myositis and treated with naproxen. History of physical exertion and acute onset of typical clinical findings of myositis were key elements in the diagnosis. Acute myositis related to exercise is a common and self-limiting condition which fully resolves after 2 to 3 weeks. However, other causes of myositis should be excluded in patients with atypical clinical features.

Abstract Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used by the general population to alleviate inflammation and pain after oral surgeries. Piroxicam is among the most commonly used NSAIDs and excels in controlling pain, swelling, trismus and other common symptoms of inflammation. This study aimed to evaluate different concentrations of piroxicam and its major metabolite, 5'-hydroxypiroxicam, in human plasma samples over time using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after liquid-liquid extraction. Briefly, 10 volunteers participated in this study after approval by the Ethics Committee of Bauru School of Dentistry, Universidade de São Paulo - USP, Brazil. Volunteers received a single dose oral of piroxicam (20 mg) and had blood collected at various times following an established protocol. The methodology of liquid-liquid extraction was effective for determining concentrations of piroxicam in plasma using HPLC in 10 out of 10 volunteers while 5'-hydroxypiroxicam was only detected in 2 out of 10 volunteers.
