[Successful Resuscitation Using Percutaneous Cardiopulmonary Support in a Woman with Acute Heart Failure during a Thyroid Storm].

Thyroid storm is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by severe manifestations of thyrotoxico- sis. Acute heart failure is one of the well-known com- plications of thyrotoxicosis. Thyrotoxicosis-induced heart failure sometimes causes circulatory collapse with high mortality.

Femoral nerve block-sciatic nerve block vs. femoral nerve block-local infiltration analgesia for total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: The use of femoral nerve block (FNB) combined with sciatic nerve block (SNB) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has recently become controversial. Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) has been reported to be effective for postoperative TKA pain control. We aimed to assess whether LIA with continuous FNB is as effective as SNB combined with continuous FNB.
