Bloqueo del plexo braquial por vía interescalénica: efectos sobre la función pulmonar [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The interscalene is one of the most common approaches used in brachial plexus block. However, the association of this approach with the ipsilateral blockade of the phrenic nerve has been demonstrated.

Cannabinoid CB2 receptor‐mediated analgesia: mechanism‐based insights and therapeutic potential
Agonists of the cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor have shown promise for the treatment of pain in a variety of animal models. However, despite current preclinical evidence supporting the use of CB2 agonists for pain, successful translation of findings from preclinical models to human patients is lacking.

Changes of Heart Rate Variability in patients under local anaesthesia [PDF]
Spectral analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is widely used for the assessment of cardiovascular autonomic control. Several studies have shown the effect of anesthetic agents on HRV parameters. In this study a systematic approach of HRV analysis has

A method of continuous brachial plexus block [PDF]
Abstract Twenty-seven patients requiring operation of the shoulder, arm, wrist and hand had brachial plexus block by the continuous method. Anesthesia was successful in all cases and it was not necessary to supplement any with general anesthesia. The duration of operations extended from one and one-half hours to four hours twenty minutes.

Infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks [PDF]
Successful brachial plexus block requires a thorough knowledge of anatomy, both to decide on the appropriate approach and to locate the nerves. The plexus is traditionally found at specific anatomical points by using bony or vascular landmarks, whereas ultrasound allows block of the plexus at any point along its length.

Multiple developmental origins of the avian propatagial muscle and their evolutionary implications
Through the analyses on the developmental process of forelimb muscles in the chicken and outgroup taxa, we found that the avian propatagial muscle developed from multiple cell masses derived from parts of the developing forelimb muscles, in association with the hypertrophied dermis along the cranial edge of the developing propatagium.
