Limitations of the use of pressure waves to verify correct epidural needle position in dogs [PDF]
The use of pressure waves to confirm the correct position of the epidural needle has been described in several domestic species and proposed as a valid alternative to standard methods, namely, control radiographic exam and fluoroscopy. The object of this

Epidural abscess after multiple lumbar punctures for labour epidural catheter placement. [PDF]
Epidural catheterization is routinely used by anaesthesiologists to provide labour and post-operative analgesia. In most cases, catheter placement is without serious side effects and uneventful.

Epidural Stimulation Induced Modulation of Spinal Locomotor Networks in Adult Spinal Rats [PDF]
The importance of the in vivo dynamic nature of the circuitries within the spinal cord that generate locomotion is becoming increasingly evident. We examined the characteristics of hindlimb EMG activity evoked in response to epidural stimulation at the ...

An epidural neuroblastoma causing spinal cord compression in a 67-year-old woman
We report a case of disseminated neuroblastoma (NB) causing epidural spinal cord compression in a 67-year-old woman. Because NB is primarily a tumor of infancy and childhood, less is known about its clinical course and optimal treatment in adults.

Benefits of thoracic epidural analgesia in patients undergoing an open posterior component separation for abdominal herniorrhaphy [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The implementation of open posterior component separation (PCS) surgery has led to improved outcomes for complex hernias. While the PCS technique has been shown to decrease recurrence rates, and provide a feasible option to repair hernias ...
