Does Spinal Block Through Tattooed Skin Cause Histological Changes in Nervous Tissue and Meninges?: An Experimental Model in Rabbits.

Although there is no documented evidence that tattoo pigments can cause neurological complications, the implications of performing neuraxial anesthesia through tattooed skin are unknown. In this study,

Treatment of cystoid macular edema secondary to chronic non-infectious intermediate uveitis with an intraocular dexamethasone implant.

To evaluate the use of a slow-release dexamethasone 0.7-mg intravitreal implant for cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to intermediate uveitis and refractory to systemic steroids.

Role of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 in Neutrophil Activation and Acute Lung Injury.

The cation channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is expressed in endothelial and immune cells; however, its role in acute lung injury (ALI) is unclear.The functional relevance of TRPV4 was assessed in vivo, in isolated murine lungs and in isolated neutrophils.

Chronological Changes in Ropivacaine Concentration and Analgesic Effects Between Transversus Abdominis Plane Block and Rectus Sheath Block.

Transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) and rectus sheath block (RSB) are popular methods of controlling postoperative pain.

Evaluation of blood pressure in feline night monkeys (Aotus azarae infulatus) under different restraint protocols.

Feline night monkeys are very susceptible to stress when handled, and because of that, the use of anesthetic and physical restraint methods should be carefully evaluated.

A Novel Modified Retrocrural Approach for Celiac Plexus Block: The Single-Needle Retroaortic Technique.

For patients with pain from upper abdominal malignancies, celiac plexus neurolysis can provide an effective means of pain control. However, there are instances when traditionally described percutaneous approaches may not be technically feasible.

Risk factors of post-dural puncture headache receiving a blood-patch in the obstetric patient.

Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of the most frequent complications of neuraxial anesthesia and analgesia. The objective is to determine risk factors of PDPH receiving a blood-patch in the obstetric population.

Therapeutic Hypothermia in Deceased Organ Donors and Kidney-Graft Function.

Delayed graft function, which is reported in up to 50% of kidney-transplant recipients, is associated with increased costs and diminished long-term graft function. The effect that targeted mild hypothermia in organ donors before organ recovery has on the rate of delayed graft function is unclear.

Ketamine/Xylazine-Induced Corneal Damage in Mice.

We have observed that the commonly used ketamine/xylazine anesthesia mix can induce a focally severe and permanent corneal opacity. The purpose of this study was to establish the clinical and histological features of this deleterious side effect, its sensitivity with respect to age and anesthesia protocol, and approaches for avoiding it.

Safety, Feasibility, and Hemodynamic Effects of Mild Hypothermia in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: The TAVR-CHILL Trial.

The safety, feasibility, and hemodynamic effects of mild hypothermia (MH) induced by transnasal cooling were studied in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
