Comparative Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasound-guided and Landmark-based Paravertebral Block Technique in Patients undergoing Elective Unilateral Breast Surgery [PDF]
Introduction: Identifying the Paravertebral Space (PVS) by its anatomical landmarks is associated with high failure rates and complications. With the advent of Ultrasonography (USG), failure rate has decreased leading to an increased interest in ...

Hox Genes Regulate Muscle Founder Cell Pattern Autonomously and Regulate Morphogenesis Through Motor Neurons [PDF]
The differentiation of myoblasts to form functional muscle fibers is a consequence of interactions between the mesoderm and ectoderm. The authors examine the role of segment identity in directing these interactions by studying the role of Hox genes in ...
