Are Local Anesthetics and General Anesthetics Different? [PDF]
It is widely believed that general and local anesthetics act by different mechanisms. While there is general agreement that the mode of action of general anesthetics is poorly understood, local anesthetics are believed to block voltage-gated sodium channels and thereby affect action potentials in nerves.

Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joint in Pediatric Patients
Background Maturational signal in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) of skeletally immature youth is often misinterpreted as inflammation. Diagnostic tools that improve specificity are greatly needed. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), when used with standard imaging, may enhance diagnostic accuracy.
