Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Procedural pain perception of preterm newborn in neonatal intensive care unit: assessment and non-pharmacological approaches].
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reaction to the procedural pain of preterm newborn and to demonstrate the different effectiveness of the two analgesic and not pharmacological techniques of recent clinical acquisition, the use of glucose solution and the sensorial saturation, in order to identify an optimal strategy for the prevention and pain treatment. ⋯ The use of "care" techniques (in our case sensorial saturation) ameliorates the quality of life in NICU and reduces the pain threshold perceived by newborn, reducing therefore the exposition to the pain stimulus and the possibility that some consequences due to an inadequate pain treatment in neonatal age could develop.

Randomized Controlled TrialCardioprotective effects of glucose and insulin administration while maintaining normoglycemia (GIN therapy) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is complicated by ischemia-reperfusion injury jeopardizing myocyte survival. ⋯ GIN therapy protects the myocardium and inhibits ischemia-induced AMPK activation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA randomized controlled trial of intra-articular prolotherapy versus steroid injection for sacroiliac joint pain.
Controversy exists regarding the efficacy of ligament prolotherapy in alleviating sacroiliac joint pain. The inconsistent success rates reported in previous studies may be attributed to variability in patient selection and techniques between studies. It was hypothesized that intra-articular prolotherapy for patients with a positive response to diagnostic block may mitigate the drawbacks of ligament prolotherapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and long-term effectiveness of intra-articular prolotherapy in relieving sacroiliac joint pain, compared with intra-articular steroid injection. ⋯ Intra-articular prolotherapy provided significant relief of sacroiliac joint pain, and its effects lasted longer than those of steroid injections. Further studies are needed to confirm the safety of the procedure and to validate an appropriate injection protocol.

Randomized Controlled TrialPerioperative glucose and insulin administration while maintaining normoglycemia (GIN therapy) in patients undergoing major liver resection.
Although hyperglycemia is a well-recognized risk factor in the context of cardiac surgery, the relevance of perioperative glycemic control for patients undergoing major noncardiac operations has received little attention. We designed this study to assess the hyperglycemic response to liver resection, and to test the hypothesis that perioperative glucose and insulin administration while maintaining normoglycemia (GIN therapy) provides glycemic control superior to that achieved by the conventional use of insulin. ⋯ GIN therapy effectively provides normoglycemia in patients undergoing liver resection (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT00774098).

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effectiveness of glucose, sucrose, and fructose in treating hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes.
There is a lack of evidence regarding the most effective treatment option for managing naturally occurring hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine if sucrose and fructose are equally effective as glucose in the treatment of spontaneous hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes; and (ii) to determine prestudy and poststudy hypoglycemia treatment preferences. ⋯ Skittles are as effective in treating hypoglycemia as more expensive BD Glucose Tablets in children with type 1 diabetes.
