Erector Spinae Plane Block for Peripartum Analgesia in a Patient with Tarlov Cysts

LT Scott B Hughey, MD/MBA, MC(FS), USN, LT Jacob H Cole, MD, MC, USN, LCDR Thomas F Olson, MD, MC(FMF), USN and LCDR Victor A Rivera, MD, MC(FS), USN

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: December 21, 2019

Tarlov cysts are sacral perineural cysts which occur in up to 4.6% of the population. Neuraxial anesthesia is relatively contraindicated in these patients. Similarly, many of these patients have chronic pain from the cysts, often requiring chronic opioid use. Pain during labor may be difficult to control in these patients due to concerns regarding neuraxial analgesia and submaximal benefit from systemic remifentanil infusions. The Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block has recently been described as a regional technique for thoracic and abdominal procedures which can decrease both somatic and viscer...

Lead exists naturally in the earth’s crust and it is widely used as a heavy metal. It is an environment toxicant that may deleteriously affect nervous, hematopoietic, skeletal, renal, endocrine and reproductive systems. So, exposure to lead in the environment continues to be a serious public health problem for all ages. Children are particularly susceptible to lead poisoning. They absorb more lead from their environment and their developing central nervous systems are vulnerable to the toxic. Fifty percent of children aged from 0 to 17-years-old presented blood lead levels above 100 μg/L an...

The aim of this study was to investigate the cardiovascular physiological responses and perceived exertion rate on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu parathletes submitted to a simulated fight. Six male athletes were included. After the fight, a recuperative massage protocol was applied to the upper limbs and trunk. Regarding Heart Rate (HR), values above baseline were found in all participants post intervention. Only one participant demonstrated recovery of Blood Pressure (BP) to baseline after the technique. Outcomes related to perceived exertion, measured immediately after the simulated fight, showed an a...

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: Lee D, Kang HW, Il Kim Y (2019) Association betwee

Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is an enzyme mainly produced from the cells of the hepatobiliary tract. And, it has been introduced as a biomarker for oxidative stress mainly by alcohol consumption and current smoking. This study was performed to evaluate the association between smoking status and serum GGT concentration. The effect of cigarette smoking on serum activities of the enzyme, GGT was investigated using the data of the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (5th KNHANES, 2010 to 2012); a cross sectional survey in the general population of Korea....

Investigating the Effects of Phenytoin, Phenobarbital, Topiramate, Carbamazepine and Sodium Valproate on the Neurotransmitter Speed in Treated Seizure Children

Farzad Ahmadabadif, Ghasem Fattahzadeh, Abolfazl Atalu and Pooya Badihi

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: December 18, 2019

Anticonvulsants such as phenytoin, phenobarbital, topiramate, carbamazepine and valproate due to their beneficial effects and economic benefits in compare to new drugs are used more but these drugs are not harmless and sometimes had dangerous, safe and reversible side effects. Reduction of the nervous conduction velocity (NCV) is the common side effect of these drugs and it is of clinically importance if it is severe especially in treated children. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate and compare the effect of each drug on NCV. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of antiepil...

Article Type: Research article | First Published: December 16, 2019

Considerable advances have been made in the field of diabetic foot care over the past 25 years in developed countries. On the contrary, diabetes foot ulceration (DFU) still remains a common diabetes related complication of substantial public health importance in sub-Saharan Africa. Diabetic foot outcome in Nigeria is reportedly poor, with high amputation and mortality rates. Proper foot care education is known to impact positively on both DFU prevention and outcome in the developed societies. However, this relationship has not been well characterised in Nigeria....

Pharmacovigilance is the primary method used to identify hazards associated with medicinal products. Using generalized likelihood ratio tests, we examed the adverse reaction signals of the drug class Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) from World Health Organization’s Pharmacovigilance Database. The proposed test procedure has the ability of detecting adverse reactions of multiple drugs simultaneously. Our findings sugggest there are 23 common Adverse reaction signals detected within this drug class. And postural hypotension, high blood pressure, fainting, abnormal heart rhythm, dizziness, ...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: December 20, 2019

Iron is one of the elements that participate numerous reaction on the body and the structure of hemoglobin to the purpose of carrying oxygen to the tissues. Thus, iron deficiency causes different problems in the body. Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) is a genetic disorder that has some signs of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) but refractory to oral iron and partially refractory to intravenous iron. The mutation in TMPRSS6 gene causes matriptase-2 protein deficiency that negatively regulates hepcidin molecule. Thus, increasing hepcidin connects its receptor ferroportin and decreases ...
