BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the effects of femoral nerve block and adductor canal block on postoperative pain, quadriceps strength, and walking ability after primary total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Between November 2014 and February 2015, 60 patients underwent primary total knee arthroplasty. Thirty patients received femoral nerve block and the other 30 received adductor canal blo...

A new method of regional anaesthetic called Pericapsular Nerve Group block (PENG) blocks these nerves in order to target the hip's anterior capsule. PENG Block applications include medial thigh lesions, hip fractures, and vascular operations. Only ultrasonic guidance is used when performing Block, two methods—out-of-plane in-plane method—are with low-frequency probe. When employed a multimodal ...

OBJECTIVE Block of the sciatic nerve at the popliteal fossa can be performed using the ultrasound machine; it may be proximally or distally to the bifurcation of the sciatic nerve using lateral, medial, or posterior approaches. It is frequently used for surgeries below the knee specially the foot and ankle operations. PURPOSE This study compares one and two injections of the sciatic nerve in ...

objective(s):intermittent hypoxia (ih), caused by obstructive sleep apnea (osa), could cause hippocampus or neuron damage through multiple signaling pathways, while the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. thus, the present study aimed to explore the effect of ih on the biological functions of microglia cells. materials and methods:cell proliferation of bv2 cells after exposure to ih were o...

Both obturator and sciatic nerve block in combination with femoral nerve block (FNB) have been suggested to be useful in relieving pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), compared with FNB alone. We compared their efficacy in this retrospective study. For six consecutive months, patients undergoing unilateral TKA under general anesthesia with continuous FNB plus obturator nerve block (n = 8) ...

Neuropathic pain and its effective management remains a challenging clinical problem in palliative care of cancer patients. In this study Carcinosinum30c (a homeopathic remedy) is used for relief of severe pain in cancer patients, who were a candidate for nerve block procedure (CEPCA). In this case study to seven cancer patients who were referred to pain clinic for nerve block procedure, after ...

24 Synaptic transmission at the inner hair cell (IHC) afferent synapse, the first synapse in the 25 auditory pathway, is specialized for rapid and reliable signaling. Here we investigated 26 the properties of a hyperpolarization activated current (Ih) expressed in the afferent 27 dendrite of auditory nerve fibers, and its role in shaping postsynaptic activity. 28 We used whole-cell patch-clamp ...

Objective(s): Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is confirmed to cause lesions in multiple organs, especially in the lung tissue. Tempol is an antioxidant that has been reported to restrain inflammation and oxidative stress, with its role in OSA-induced lung injury being unclear. This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effect of tempol on chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH)-induced lung injury....
