A Bankart repair is an operation for habitual anterior shoulder dislocation. [1] The joint capsule is sewed to the detached glenoid labrum , without duplication of the subscapularis tendon . The procedure is named for the Bankart lesion , a common name for the condition it addresses.
The substance P inhibitor aprepitant (Emend), which became available in 2005, is highly effective in controlling nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy. [11] Aprepitant has been shown to inhibit both the acute and delayed emesis induced by cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs by blocking substance P landing on receptors in the ...

[3] Nausea may be defined as an unpleasant sensation of the need to vomit. [7] It may be accompanied by symptoms such as salivation, feeling faint, and a fast heart rate. [7]

Nausea and vomiting can delay discharge, and about 1% of patients scheduled for day surgery require unanticipated ...
Bankart described the pathology and surgical repair of recurrent shoulder dislocation in 1923, [4] and again in 1938. [5] Although this procedure was described by Perthes in 1906, [6] Bankart is credited with popularizing the technique. [3] Thus the terms Bankart lesion and Bankart Operation remain in use.
The failure rate following arthroscopic Bankart repair has been shown to dramatically increase from 4% to 67% in patients with significant bone loss. [5] The same authors subsequently reported much improved results when the Latarjet operation was used in patients with bone loss. [ 6 ]
Pain in cancer can be produced by mechanical (e.g. pinching) or chemical (e.g. inflammation) stimulation of specialized pain-signalling nerve endings found in most parts of the body (called nociceptive pain), or it may be caused by diseased, damaged or compressed nerves, in which case it is called neuropathic pain.
