Background: In our study, we aimed to examine the relationship between trauma-related thoracic vertebral fractures and/or rib location, age and gender. Methods: Between January 1, 2020 December 31, 2020, 100 patients with fracture were included in study. Rib analyzed according age, gender, level type. The correlation was investigated. Results: 72% of male 28% female, mean 48.49 ± 18.83. Thoraci...

AIM Chronic fatigue (CF) severely affects patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), but its pathogenesis remains elusive and the effectiveness of available treatments is modest. We aimed to evaluate the effect on CF of the balloon dilatation of stenosing lesions affecting the main extracranial veins configuring the chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI), a condition strongly associated...

A field study was carried out during kharif at the Agronomy Main Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, College Agriculture, OUAT, Bhubaneswar with crop rice. The experiment laid in randomized complete block design twelve site specific nitrogen management practices i.e. T1-RDF (80:40:40 kg N:P2O5:K2O ha-1), T2 - 20 N ha-1 LCC score <4 no basal N, T3 basal, T4 g SPAD value <35 T5- T6- Gree...

BACKGROUND Intrapedicular fixation in thoracic spine is often limited, because of high risk of complication, especially in scoliosis patients. Extrapedicular screws fixation techniques provide an alternate solution for extremely small or abnormal thoracic pedicles deformity. However, the pullout resistance of extrapedicular screws has not been clearly defined. The aim of our study was to system...

Different herbs and spices have been used as feed additives for various purposes in poultry production. This study was conducted to assess the effect of feed supplemented with black pepper (Piper nigrum), turmeric powder (Curcuma longa), coriander seeds (Coriandrum sativum) and their combinations on the performance of broilers. A total of 210 (Cobb) one-d-old chicks were divided into seven grou...

BACKGROUND Several animal studies support the contention that thoracic spinal cord stimulation (SCS) might decrease arterial blood pressure. OBJECTIVE To determine if electrical stimulation of the dorsal spinal cord in humans will lower mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR). DESIGN Case Series METHODS Ten normotensive subjects that were clinically indicated for SCS testing were...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of administration of an intercostal nerve block (INB) with general anesthesia to elderly patients undergoing a distal gastrectomy. METHODS Elderly patients (>65 years) undergoing selective gastrectomy were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 80): general anesthesia (Group A); general + INB anesthesia (Group B); or, g...

STUDY DESIGN Analysis of morphometric data obtained from direct measurements of 100 cadaveric thoracic spines in Indian population. PURPOSE To collect a base line morphometric data and analyze it in reference to the musculoskeletal anatomy and biomechanics of the spine; implants and instrumentations; and to suggest the requisite modification in spinal surgery instrumentations. OVERVIEW OF L...

PURPOSE Previous lumbar spinal surgery (PLSS) is not currently considered as a contraindication for regional anesthesia. However, there are still problems that make spinal anesthesia more difficult with a possibility of worsening the patient's back pain. Spinal anesthesia using combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) in elderly patients with or without PLSS was investigated and the anestheti...
