Measurement of epidural insertion pressures in labouring women of varying BMIs. Abstract [PDF]

, 2014
To create high-fidelity epidural simulators it is important to incorporate in vivo epidural pressures.1 This study presents the results of insertion pressures as a Tuohy needle is advanced through to the epidural space on a porcine cadaver followed by a ...

Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of thoracolumbar intervertenral disk extrusions and protrusions in large breed dogs [PDF]

, 2016
It has recently been shown that the fat-derived hormone adiponectin has the ability to decrease hyperglycemia and to reverse insulin resistance. However, bacterially produced full-length adiponectin is functionally inactive. Here, we show that endogenous

An algorithm for seizure detection in rodents

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy animal research often relies on long‐term intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) recordings. Here, we describe an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm for automatic detection of seizures. Methods The algorithm was trained on iEEG recordings of three mouse models of chronic epilepsy: (1) the pilocarpine model of ...

Portable optical epidural needle-a CMOS-based system solution and its circuit design. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Epidural anesthesia is a common anesthesia method yet up to 10% of procedures fail to provide adequate analgesia. This is usually due to misinterpreting the tactile information derived from the advancing needle through the complex tissue planes ...

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Distance from skin to epidural space: Correlation with body mass index (BMI)

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2011
Background: Epidural anaesthesia is being increasingly used to provide anaesthesia for surgery on the lower abdomen, perineum and lower extremities. However success of the epidural technique depends upon the correct identification of epidural space.

Transvaginal hemiperitoneal cervical cerclage for cervical insufficiency: A single‐center retrospective study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cervical insufficiency (CI) is thought to be responsible for 8% of miscarriages and preterm births. Cervical cerclage is the main treatment for CI. There are different approaches to cervical cerclage, and it is particularly important to find a method of cervical cerclage that is simple to perform and results in better pregnancy ...

Fluoroscope guided epidural needle insertioin in midthoracic region: clinical evaluation of Nagaro's method [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
BackgroundIn the midthoracic region, a fluroscope guided epidural block has been proposed by using a pedicle as a landmark to show the height of the interlaminar space (Nagaro's method).

Ultrasound‐Guided Liposomal vs. Conventional Bupivacaine Erector Spinae Plane Block Plus Gabapentin for Postherpetic Neuralgia

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare efficacy and safety of ultrasound‐guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) using liposomal (LB) versus conventional bupivacaine (CB), each plus standardized gabapentin, in patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). A total of 116 PHN patients were randomized to ESPB‐LB or ESPB‐CB; both groups received standardized ...

Comparison of epidural catheter tip placement between median and paramedian techniques with fluoroscopy

Bali Journal of Anesthesiology, 2018
Introduction: The installation of an epidural catheter can be perform by median or paramedian techniques with the aim of position the epidural catheter tip being posterior to the epidural space.
