Is the plasminogen activator inhibitor ( PAI ) -1 promoter 4G/4G genotype associated with ischemic stroke in a population of German children . Childhood Stroke Study Group?
Data presented here suggest that the 4G/4G genotype is not a major risk factor in the aetiology of childhood ischemic stroke.
While it appears that ketorolac provides a better postoperative course than either IM or PCA morphine in terms of pain control, postoperative confusion, length of stay, and duration of ileus, 18% of our patients assigned to ketorolac required additional analgesia, and there was a strong patient preference for PCA. Most patients should probably be managed with PCA narcotics, but the addition of ketorolac might reduce narcotic dose and resultant adverse effects. Those patients particularly prone to adverse effects should receive primarily ketorolac.
