Evaluation of ultrasonographic anatomy of transversus abdominis plane before and after cesarean section
Acta Clin Croat. 2022 Mar;61(1):3-10. doi: 10.20471/acc.2022.61.01.01.ABSTRACTTransversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is used to provide analgesia after lower abdominal surgery operations. TAP block has been shown to reduce postoperative pain scores and side effects of opioids after cesarean section. Generally, TAP block was introduced after cesarean section. It is assumed that delivery affects sonographic characteristics of the abdominal wall. For this reason, ultrasonographic measurement of the anatomy of the region defined for TAP block was performed before and after cesarean section. It was aimed to determine the estim...

Applications of vibrational energy in the treatment of sinonasal disease: A scoping review
ConclusionsVibration technology used in patients with sinonasal pathology has been shown to improve pain, sinonasal symptoms and radiologic outcome measures in small studies. Given the heterogeneous study populations and outcomes, no conclusion could be reached regarding overall effectiveness of acoustic energy as a primary treatment. Further research is required to study specific treatment indications in larger patient populations to fully understand the potential clinical benefit and to determine optimal therapeutic characteristics of sound energy.This article is protected by copyright.

Ultrasound-guided anterior iliopsoas muscle space block versus posterior lumbar plexus block in hip surgery in the elderly: A randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION The anterior iliopsoas muscle space block had the same effect as the posterior lumbar plexus block on peri-operative analgesia for hip surgery, but with a longer onset time. Therefore, anterior iliopsoas muscle space block can be recommended as a routine technique for hip and lower limb procedures. TRIAL REGISTRATION http://www.chictr.org.cn identifier: ChiCTR1900021214.

Plant-Derived Alkaloids: The Promising Disease-Modifying Agents for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Conclusion This paper summarizes the current findings regarding the anti-colitis activity of plant-derived alkaloids and shows how these alkaloids exhibit significant and beneficial effects in alleviating colonic inflammation. These natural alkaloids are not only promising agents for IBD treatment but are also components for developing new wonder drugs. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms or toxicological evaluation of most plant-derived alkaloids still require much scientific research, and their actual efficacies for IBD patients have not been verified well in field research. Thus, further clinical trials to elu...

Local infiltration anaesthesia versus sciatic nerve and adductor canal block for fast-track knee arthroplasty: A randomised controlled clinical trial
BACKGROUND Local infiltration anaesthesia (LIA) was introduced as an innovative analgesic procedure for enhanced recovery after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, LIA has never been compared with analgesia based on an adductor canal catheter and a single-shot sciatic nerve block. OBJECTIVE To evaluate two analgesic regimens for TKA comparing mobility, postoperative pain and patient satisfaction. DESIGN Two-group randomised, controlled clinical trial. SETTING Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Campus Charité Mitte, Germany between April and August 2017. PATIENTS Adults undergoing primary TKA u...

A Diagnostic Dilemma: Sometimes You ’ ll Never Know
Discussion It can be difficult to consider what is the problem when a health care provider is presented with a group of seemingly disparate signs and symptoms with a history and time course that do not match classic (or commonly atypical) disease presentations. Common things happen commonly, so when symptoms occur without the usual co-occurring symptoms, unusual symptoms or time courses, it can be challenging. The provider must develop a reasonable differential diagnosis and balance how far to go with the evaluation against how much to monitor the patient for new signs or symptoms which can provide new information. Patient...

Neuroblastoma in a 6-year-old boy
A previously healthy 6-year-old boy presented to the children's Accident and Emergency Department with right-sided abdominal pain. On examination, there was a palpable, non-tender abdominal mass, with no lymphadenopathy. Initial investigations revealed pancytopenia (haemoglobin was 5.7 g/dL, white cell count 3.7 x 109/L, platelets 134 x 109/L) and lactate dehydrogenase 1690 (normal range 240–480) with normal urea and electrolytes/liver function tests. Abdominal ultrasound showed a large central mass extending from the epigastrium to the level of the aortic bifurcation. A chest X-ray showed a ...

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography uncovering massive gallbladder mucocele in a patient with ambiguous clinical and laboratory findings: a case report
Conclusion Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography should be considered as a complementary imaging modality to assess patients presenting with atypical biliary symptoms, particularly when ultrasound is equivocal or inconclusive, clinical and laboratory findings are non-specific, and computer tomography is contraindicated. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography can also be considered in patients with acute cholecystitis not adherent to a specific severity grade.

Cll, a rare but treatable cause of longitudinally extensive myelitis
A 65-year-old lady presented with a 1-year history of progressive sensory and motor symptoms in the the legs, back pain, pruritus and night sweats. Neurological examination of the cranial nerves and upper limbs was unremarkable. Lower limb examination revealed mild bilateral spastic paraparesis. Cervical, axillary and inguinal lymphadenopathy was noted. Bloods showed only a mild lymphopenia. MRI revealed symmetrically diffuse nodular enhancement in the brain and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis in the cervical and thoracic spine with leptomeningeal enhancement. CSF analysis showed a protein of 1888 mg/L, W...
