PURPOSE: The lacertus fibrosus or bicipital aponeurosis is a sheet of ligamentous tissue just distal to the elbow joint and can be a compression point for the median nerve. Essentially, lacertus syndrome is a subset of pronator syndrome and an uncommon diagnosis by itself. Surgical release of the lacertus consists of a small 2-cm incision that can be performed under local anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of lacertus release in resolving median nerve symptoms. METHODS: This retrospective study was performed at Prince Court Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from January 2020 until June 2021...

OBJECTIVE: Breast cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in women worldwide. Surgery has been traditional treatment and, generally, it´s mastectomy with lymphadenectomy, that can causes postoperative pain. Therefore, we seek to study regional anesthesic techniques that can minimize this effect, such as the interpectoral block (PECS). METHODS: randomized controlled study with 82 patients with breast cancer who underwent mastectomy with lymphadenectomy from January 2020 to October 2021 in oncology hospital...

Obesity presents a growing public health problem. Therefore the analysis of body composition is important in clinical practice as well as in animal research models of obesity; hence precise methods for the assessment of body fat would be essential. We aimed to evaluate in vivo abdominal microcomputed tomography scan restricted to the L1-L3 region [micro-CT(L1-L3) ], a skinfold thickness-based method (STM), and postmortem body composition analysis (PMA) with regard to whole body micro-CT scan in rats. Male Wistar rats of different age groups (from 3 to 24 mo) and nutritional states (normally fed, high-fat diet-induced obese, and calorie-restricted) were used...

Leprosy is a contagious and chronic systemic granulomatous disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium leprae. To our knowledge, no case of leprosy in a childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (c-SLE) patient has been reported. For a period of 31 years, 312 c-SLE patients were followed at the Pediatric Rheumatology Unit of our University Hospital. One of them (0.3%) had tuberculoid leprosy skin lesions during the disease course and is here reported. A 10-year-old boy from Northwest of Brazil was diagnosed with c-SLE based on malar rash, photosensitivity, oral ulcers, lymphopenia, proteinuria, positive antinuclear antibodies, anti-double-stranded DNA, anti-Sm and anti-Ro/SSA autoantibodies...

BACKGROUND: The mechanisms implicated in the genesis of delayed radiofrequency (RF) effects remain unclear, but may be related to extension of the lesion beyond the region of coagulative necrosis. The role of apoptosis in this process has not been previously reported. We assessed whether RF promotes apoptosis in the region surrounding acute ablation lesions in a rat model. METHODS: Wistar rats (n=30; weight 300 g) were anesthesized, the chest was opened, and the heart was exposed...

Placement of dental implants in the interforaminal region of the edentulous mandible is considered a safe and routine surgical procedure. Hemorrhage in the floor of the mouth has been reported as a rare, potentially life-threatening complication related to the placement of implants in this region. In this case report the authors present an immediate and a delayed case of massive bleeding in the floor of the mouth after implant placement. This highly vascularized region is vulnerable and bleeding can be induced easily by instrumentation, causing a vascular trauma, usually by perforation of lingual periostium...

High-frequency whole body vibrations can be osteogenic, but their efficacy appears limited to skeletal segments that are weight bearing and thus subject to the induced load. To determine the anabolic component of this signal, we investigated whether low-level oscillatory displacements, in the absence of weight bearing, are anabolic to skeletal tissue. A loading apparatus, developed to shake specific segments of the murine skeleton without the direct application of deformations to the tissue, was used to subject the left tibia of eight anesthesized adult female C57BL/6J mice to small (0...

Current evidence suggests that there are three sphincters that regulate the flow of chyme from stomach to the duodenum. We investigated the hypothesis whether a fourth 'physiologic sphincter' exists at the duodeno-jejunal junction. The pressure response of the jejunum, duodeno-jejunal junction and duodenum to individual balloon distension of the jejunum and duodenum was recorded in 28 healthy subjected before and after anesthesizing the jejunum, duodeno-jejunal junction and duodenum. The duodeno-jejunal junction length was measured by the station pull-through technique...

Thyroid hormone (triiodothyronine [T(3)]) has various nongenomic effects, including alterations in glucose and fatty acid metabolism, augmentation of intracellular Ca(2+), enhancement of myocardial contractility, and vascular dilatation. However, its effect on regional blood flow remains to be established. We have measured the effect of T(3) on blood flow in major organs of anesthetized rabbits in vivo using the microsphere method. Under artificial respiration, nonradioactive microspheres (5 x 10(5)) labeled with barium were injected to measure blood flow at control level...

We report on a 20-year-old patient with McCune-Albright syndrome suffering from global respiratory insufficiency who required continuous mask ventilation and where intubation had to be avoided. Perivascular axillary anesthesia according to Weber was performed for a double corrective osteotomy of the humerus. During plexus anesthesia the patient was positioned on the non-anesthesized side in a 15 degrees Trendelenburg position. An extension of analgesia was observed up to the complete upper arm region. Using the modified positioning an extension of brachial plexus anesthesia is possible...

An electron-microscopic study of the response of cochlear stria vascularis (CSV) cells to an electric impact of physiotherapeutic parameters was made in 26 guinea-pigs. Twelve guinea-pigs (group 1) have undergone 9 sessions of bilateral endaural electrostimulation with square bipolar impulses (4 ms, 0.1-0.4 mA, 50 Hz, 20 min). Fourteen guinea-pigs of group 2 have undergone a 12-18-day course of intramuscular ototoxic antibiotic canamycin in a dose 200-400 mg/day followed by the above electrostimulation. Nine anesthesized guinea-pigs of group 3 were inserted an electrode into the niche of the round window of the right ear...

This study was performed to investigate whether spinal cord stimulation (SCS) at intensities below motor threshold prolongs cutaneous vasodilation and whether sustained vasodilation by SCS is mediated through sympathetic inhibition and/or antidromic activation of sensory fibers. SCS was applied to the dorsal surface of the L2-L3 spinal cord of anesthesized rats with stimulus parameters used clinically (i.e., 50 Hz, 0.2 ms duration, and stimulus intensity at 30%, 60%, or 90% of motor threshold). Peripheral vasodilation induced by 5-min SCS was not attenuated by hexamethonium, an autonomic ganglion-blocking agent, but was abolished by dorsal rhizotomy...

In anesthesized rats, the effects of electrical stimulation (ES) to the saphenous nerve on the microcirculation of the gracilis muscle were assessed through the measurement of two different hemodynamic parameters: (a). the muscle blood flow (MBF) using a laser Doppler flowmeter; and (b). the changes in diameter of the muscle arterioles observed directly using an intravital microscope system. Ipsilateral ES (5 V, 20 Hz, for 30 s) produced increases in MBF and mean arterial pressure (47+/-10% and 18+/-5%) over the baseline, while no significant changes in MBF were observed in the contralateral muscle...
