PROBLEM: Question: Does bispectral index monitoring improve early recovery of geriatric outpatients undergoing brief surgical procedures?
Answer: In this non-paralyzed elderly outpatient surgery population, the use of BIS monitoring for titrating the maintenance anesthetic (sevoflurane) failed to improve the early recovery process.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Question: Is the G-308A variant of the Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha ( TNF-alpha ) gene associated with obesity , insulin resistance and body fat distribution?
Answer: Our study did not detect any significant association of the G-308A TNFalpha polymorphism with obesity or with its clinical and metabolic abnormalities in this population. Our data suggests that, in our population, the G-308A TNFalpha polymorphism is unlikely to play a major role in the pathogenesis of these conditions.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Question: Does botulinum toxin a decrease calf pain or improve ROM during limb lengthening : a randomized trial?
Answer: Local injection of 200 IU BtX-A at the human calf muscle does not appear to reduce calf pain or help enhance ROM of the knee and ankle during tibial lengthening. However, the small sample size provided sufficient power to detect only relatively large clinical effects; future, larger trials will be needed to determine whether smaller differences are present.

SOLUTION:
no
