Optimized Puncturing for the Spinal Codes
ICC 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2019As a type of newly invented rateless codes, Spinal codes can achieve the capacity of both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and binary symmetric channel (BSC) with short message length and pseudo-random like codewords. In this paper, a novel puncturing pattern called inverted triangle-shaped puncturing is proposed for Spinal codes.

In the ordinary method of performing spinal puncture it is difficult to get the patient in the right position. Even when the patient is held by attendants, as has been my practice, there is the possibility of sudden movement closing, more or less, the space between the vertebrae. If a flexible gold or platinum iridium needle is used, there is no danger

Lumbar Puncture and Spinal Analgesia
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979This once-slim volume, now in its fourth edition, fortunately has retained all that was good in earlier versions. The anatomic color relief illustrations of the vertebral column, spinal cord, and meninges are masterpieces of simplicity and clarity. The chapter on history has grown from seven to 23 pages; though it reads well, it would have been better ...

Lumbar puncture and spinal anaesthesia
Anaesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine, 2006Abstract The technique of spinal anaesthesia has been in use for more than a century, enjoying a particular resurgence of interest over the past 20 years. It is simple to perform and, with a clear understanding of the physiology and pharmacology involved, is a very safe means of providing anaesthesia for surgical procedures below the diaphragm.

Headache is the commonest complication of spinal puncture. There is no significant difference in the incidence of headache after lumbar puncture, whether or not the puncture is followed by injection of an anesthetic agent. The sequence of events leading to postlumbar puncture headaches is probably (1) decreased volume of cerebrospinal fluid with ...

Headache Following Spinal Puncture
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1965ABSTRACT To the Editor:— Some points should be brought out as to the nature of the type of headache which occurs after spinal puncture. Kaplan, as quoted in medical news (JAMA192, June 28, 1965, adv p 32) concluded that the principal cause is psychosomatic. The etiology "is still unsettled, although the bulk of the evidence supports the view that it is

Hazards of Spinal/Lumbar Puncture
1997Spinal or lumbar puncture (LP) may be used for analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), for regional anaesthesia, for radiological investigation (e.g. myelography) or for intrathecal chemotherapy (e.g. in the management of pain, cancer or spasticity). CSF examination is an important diagnostic tool in neurological practice and this chapter is devoted
