RESUMEN
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious kidney illness characterized by proteinuria, glomerular enlargement, reduced glomerular filtration, and renal fibrosis. DN is the most common cause of end-stage kidney disease, accounting for nearly one-third of all cases of diabetes worldwide. Hyperglycemia is a major factor in the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Many contemporary medicines are derived from plants since they have therapeutic properties and are relatively free of adverse effects. Glycosides, alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids are among the few chemical compounds found in plants that are utilized to treat diabetic nephropathy. The purpose of this review was to consolidate information on the clinical and pharmacological evidence supporting the use of a variety of medicinal plants to treat diabetic nephropathy.
RESUMEN
Levobupivacaine is a long-acting local anesthetic that is both safe and non-toxic. However, few researchers have examined the efficacy and safety of peritonsillar injections of levobupivacaine for postoperative pain relief. The goal of this study was to assess current randomized controlled trials that employed this strategy. A literature review was conducted using databases such as DELPHIS, PUBMED, COCHRANE, and SCOPUS. A total of fifteen randomized controlled trials were found and thoroughly reviewed. There were no fatalities reported. One study reported a case of nausea and vomiting. In most of the studies, levobupivacaine with magnesium, epinephrine, dexamethasone hydrochloride, tramadol, or levobupivacaine alone were compared to a placebo. Four trials employed different combinations of levobupivacaine and other medicines to recruit adults. Most of the studies had a modest sample size. As a result, larger research with more representative populations should be conducted. Despite certain flaws in the trial design, our findings suggest that levobupivacaine is safe and effective at reducing postoperative pain.
