Background: Paravertebral block has been established technique for providing analgesia to the chest and abdomen. We conducted the current study to compare single dose paravertebral block (PVB) versus single dose epidural blockade (EP) for pain relief after renal surgery Methods: Eighty patients scheduled for renal surgery were randomly assigned into two groups according to the analgesic techniq...

OBJECTIVES Recently, paravertebral block (PVB) has been reported to be an effective analgesic modality for post-thoracotomy pain, but there is no consensus on how thoracic PVB can be more effective. Our hypothesis that intact pleura has a significant impact on the analgesic effectiveness of thoracic PVB was evaluated. METHODS Data of patients who underwent general thoracic surgery [thoracotom...

As Canada experiences and prepares for notable increases in immigration, health care professionals need to be aware of emerging cases low incidence diseases, particularly when found higher rates the foreign-born population. Therefore, we report case a 20-year-old male immigrant presenting Canadian emergency department with one year history worsening back pain. In department, thoracic radiograph...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Thoracic trauma leading to multiple fractured ribs (MFR) remains very common. Good analgesia may help to improve a patient's respiratory mechanics and to avoid intubation of the trachea for ventilatory support and therefore may dramatically alter the course of recovery. We herein review the analgesia options for patients with MFR. RECENT FINDINGS For healthy patients with on...

OBJECTIVES Cervical spine disorders are common in the older population. The paravertebral muscles are essential to the support and stabilisation of the cervical spine but have been little studied. The aim was to determine whether pathological changes develop in these muscles in patients with severe cervical spine disease, which, if present, might contribute to the pathogenesis and symptomatolog...

a rare case of tuberculosis of many bones (skull, ribs and pubis) is described. there was also paravertebral cold abscess with fistulisation opened to groin region; no lesions were seen in lungs, urinary or gastrointestinal tracts. the response to medical treatment was favourable.

Paravertebral titanium rod migration represents an unusual and potentially fatal complication of vertebral stabilization surgical procedures. This condition, which requires a prompt and rapid diagnosis, is often mistaken for other more common diseases, or scotomized. We present a case of a 69 years old female affected by a non-Hodgkin lymphoma with evidence of migration of both rods five years ...

MATERIAL AND METHOD 20 patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups. Patients in the control group were given only general anesthesia. Patients in the PVB group received 0.3 ml/k...
