Bipolar Radiofrequency Neurotomy to Treat Neck and Back Pain in Patients with Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator.
We report 2 cases of successful treatment of neck and back pain with bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the cervical and lumbar facet joints in patients with an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD).Two patients with complex cardiac histories and AICD devices were treated with bipolar RFA of the facet joints. One presented with axial neck pain and the other with axial ba...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Neurotomy for Sacroiliac Joint Pain: A Prospective Study
Background: The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is an important cause of chronic low back pain, implicated in 15% 30% of all cases. While radiofrequency neurotomy (RFN) is the interventional treatment of choice for spinal pain originating from the facet joints, fewer studies have investigated its potential for treating SIJ pain, and its long-term efficacy is unknown. Objectives: To obtain a real-world v...

متن کاملCarbon-iron magnetic nanoparticles for agronomic use in plants: promising but still a long way to go.
In the recent years, multiple ways of interaction between the fields of nanotechnology and biology have been opened, mainly in the biomedical research, with the development of tools for diagnosis and controlled delivery of substances. (1,2) On the other hand, in the field of plant biology, the interaction between both disciplines has been less frequent. Most of the published work on this field ...
