Is co-administration of ethanol to the distension medium in surgical hysteroscopy a screening method to prevent fluid overload?
The intraoperative ethanol-monitoring is a non-invasive procedure which can be performed at ablative-operative hysteroscopies and has no negative influence on the course of the intervention and the general condition of the patients.
Adding gabapentin to fluoxetine in the treatment of OCD seems to shorten the time to onset of fluoxetine's anti-obsessive effect without a significant increase in adverse effects. In order to accelerate the clinical response, co-administration of fluoxetine and gabapentin may be a preferable strategy. On the other hand, further controlled studies are needed to support this finding.
