Nerves and Anesthesia: A physics perspective on medicine [PDF]

Anestezjologia i Ratownictwo 2014; 8: 252-263, 2014
We present a recent theory for nerve pulse propagation and anesthesia and argue that both nerve activity and the action of anesthetics can be understood on the basis of simple physical laws. It was found experimentally that biological membranes melt from a solid state to a liquid state just below physiological temperature. Such melting processes have a

Estimating Budget Impact and Joint Replacement Avoidance by Implementing a Standardized Education and Exercise Therapy Program for Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis in a Publicly Insured Health Care System

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The study objective was to estimate the budget impact of funding a standardized education and exercise therapy program, Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) for people with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) waiting for total joint replacement (TJR) consultation in a universal publicly insured health care system in Canada.

Characterization of Large-Scale Functional Brain Networks During Ketamine-Medetomidine Anesthetic Induction [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Several experiments provide evidence that specialized brain regions functionally interact and reveal that the brain processes and integrates information in a specific and structured manner. Networks can be applied to model brain functional activities, providing means to characterize and quantify this structured form of organization.

Effectiveness of a Telephone‐Delivered Walk With Ease Program on Arthritis‐Related Symptoms, Function, and Activity: A Randomized Trial

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Walk With Ease (WWE) is a six‐week arthritis‐appropriate evidence‐based physical activity program traditionally offered in a face‐to‐face format. Because many populations encounter participation barriers to in‐person programs, WWE was modified for telephone delivery (WWE‐T).

Impact of hyaluronidase on anesthetic distribution in retrobulbar region following sub-Tenon anesthesia [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2008
Background/Aim. Sub-Tenon's block is nowadays commonly used in ophthalmic surgery because of its safety and efficacy. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of the anesthetic solution with different amounts of hyaluronidase in the ...

Automatic Ultrasound Image Segmentation of Supraclavicular Nerve Using Dilated U-Net Deep Learning Architecture [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Automated object recognition in medical images can facilitate medical diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we automatically segmented supraclavicular nerves in ultrasound images to assist in injecting peripheral nerve blocks. Nerve blocks are generally used for pain treatment after surgery, where ultrasound guidance is used to inject local ...

Global Trends in Risk Factors for Low Back Pain: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study Data From 1990 to 2021

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The increasing burden associated with low back pain (LBP) is a critical issue. This is a novel analysis of trends in risk factors for LBP aiming to identify risk factors that require further attention or consideration in global policies to reduce the burden of LBP.

Efficacy of the anterior and middle superior alveolar nerve block in achieving pulpal anesthesia of maxillary teeth [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2019
Introduction. The anterior and middle superior alveolar (AMSA) nerve block is an alternative technique of local anesthesia in the maxilla, unpredictably efficient for pulpal anesthesia.

Structure and Dynamics of Brain Lobe's Functional Networks at the Onset of Anesthesia-Induced Loss of Consciousness [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Anesthetic agents are neurotropic drugs capable of inducing significant alterations in the thalamocortical system, promoting a profound decrease in awareness and level of consciousness. There is experimental evidence that general anesthesia affects large-scale functional networks, leading to alterations in the brain's state.

Placebo Effect Sizes are Larger in Clinical Trials of Knee Osteoarthritis using Intra‐Articular Injections of Biologic Agents

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) rely on symptomatic treatments where up to 75% of the pain reduction can be attributed to the placebo effect. This effect may vary based on treatment type (e.g., biologics vs. non‐biologic injection) and route of administration (e.g., intra‐articular vs. topical vs. oral).
