This exploratory dose-finding study showed that a single administration of remimazolam (0.10-0.20 mg/kg) was capable of inducing rapid sedation with a quick recovery profile in patients undergoing a diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The safety profile was favorable and appeared to be similar to that of midazolam, warranting further development of this short-acting compound.
Intragastric balloon achieved greater short-term weight loss at 3 and 6 months postballoon removal than lifestyle intervention alone. Adverse gastrointestinal events were common.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
