S1-1. Spinal cord stimulation for post-stroke pain
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is used to treat for several types of intractable pain syndromes, but it is not commonly used for treating post-stroke pain. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the effects of SCS in patients with post-stroke pain. Neurological imaging and pharmacological analysis using thiopental, ketamine and morphine tests were conducted for 30 patients with post-stroke pain. For all patients, percutaneous electrodes were inserted under local anesthesia, and trial stimulation was performed for 5–7days. If the patient experienced pain relief during the trial stimulation, a pulse generator was implanted. ...

The Effect of Intraoperative Fluid Management According to Stroke Volume Variation on Postoperative Bowel Function Recovery in Colorectal Cancer Surgery
J Clin Med. 2021 Apr 25;10(9):1857. doi: 10.3390/jcm10091857.ABSTRACTStroke volume variation (SVV) has been used to predict fluid responsiveness; however, it remains unclear whether goal-directed fluid therapy using SVV contributes to bowel function recovery in abdominal surgery. This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare bowel movement recovery in patients undergoing colon resection surgery between groups using traditional or SVV-based methods for intravenous fluid management. We collected data between March 2015 and July 2017. Bowel function recovery was analyzed based on the gas-passing time, sips of ...

When angels catch us – Madeline ’ s hysterectomy story
How do we know there are angels? Do we have our own special guardian angels watching over us? How many times have we almost entered into danger only to change our minds at the last minute? Is this simply being lucky or has there been an unconscious inner voice warning us? I have truly believed for a long time that there are God’s angels watching over us and over the years there have been occasions when I have had warnings of some impending doom and thankfully avoided tragedy. Sometimes I’ve just had feelings or a “sixth sense” and the negative event still happened but somehow I had felt that premonition. Wa...
