memory drugs
Subject: memory drugs
Hello! I need some help for a foreign acquaintance of mine. He's from the Ukraine, or thereabouts, and has been having memory problems. His doctor discussed some meds with him, but he can't remember what they were, and now he's too embarassed to ask about them again!!?? I told him I'd see if we could get a list together, in the hopes that one (or more) of them would jump off the page at him, and he'd remember what he and his Dr. discussed. Help me! 
Thank you, now all I have to do is commit that to memory...lol, Thanks again (nm)

short example
Subject: short example
All four patients initially underwent surgical excisions of the pilonidal cyst followed by primary closure of the wound and application of a penrose drain. Pre-operative antibiotic treatment followed by a 10-day post-operative antibiotic course was used. Intra-operative identification of the sinus tract was made using a lacrimal probe and methylene blue injection of the sinus tract opening. Closure of the wound was accomplished with a subcutaneous 3-0 vicryl suture followed by a subcuticular 4-0 vicryl reinforced with 3-0 nylon interrupted suture. All procedures were done as same-day surgery. The drain had been pulled on initial follow-up within seven days on all the patients.
