Inspiring Use of Novel Blocks in Chronic Pain Management: Quadro-iliac Plane Block a Promising Step Toward the Future-A Case Report.

Quadro-iliac plane block (QIPB) is a novel regional anesthesia technique that provides analgesia in the abdominal, lumbar, and hip regions. Case reports about the efficacy of this block in the literature are limited. In this report, we would like to share our successful QIPB experience with a patient with chronic myofascial low back pain.

A Case Series of Deep Subgluteal Block: A New Block Targeting the Missed Portion of the Hip for Analgesia After Total Hip Replacement.

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of deep subgluteal block (DSGB) for pain relief after posterolateral-approached total hip replacement. The cadaver study and observational case series assessed the spread and outcomes of ultrasound-guided DSGB. Results showed low postoperative pain scores, minimal opioid requirements, and no complications related to DSGB.

Investigation of the functional and biomechanical effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique in individuals with asymptomatic dynamic knee valgus - Randomized controlled trial.

Although there are studies showing that myofascial release will increase muscle force production, the contribution of its application alone to muscle force production has not been examined. Aim of the study is to investigate the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on eccentric strength, frontal plane projection angle (FPPA), dynamic (DPS), and static postural stability (SPS), femoral internal rotation (FIR) angle in females with dynamic knee valgus (DKV). A total of 44 recreationally active females with asymptomatic DKV (age: 21,39 ± 1,79, body mass index: 20,09 ± 2,45) participated and were randomly assigned to either control group (CG) or IASTM group (IASTMG).

Investigation of hemispheric asymmetry in Alzheimer's disease patients during resting state revealed BY fNIRS.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the gradual deterioration of brain structures and changes in hemispheric asymmetry. Meanwhile, healthy aging is associated with a decrease in functional hemispheric asymmetry. In this study, functional connectivity analysis was used to compare the functional hemispheric asymmetry in eyes-open resting-state fNIRS data of 16 healthy elderly controls (mean age: 60.

Ultrasound guided quadro-iliac plane block: another novel fascial plane block.

Study Objective: We report a novel block technique aimed to provide lumbosacral, abdominal, and hip analgesia: The quadro-iliac plane (QIP) block.

Design: A cadaveric examination that evaluates the spread of QIP block.

Setting: Cadaver laboratory.

The effect of platelet-rich fibrin, platelet-rich plasma, and concentrated growth factor in the repair of full thickness rotator cuff tears.

Background: Rotator cuff lesions rank among the prevalent causes of shoulder pain. Combining surgical interventions with growth factors, scaffolds, and stem cell therapies can effectively decrease the likelihood of rotator cuff repair recurrence. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and concentrated growth factor (CGF), isolated from blood and rich in growth factors, have a critical role in cell migration, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis during the tissue regeneration process.

Radiological evaluation of patellofemoral instability and possible causes of assessment errors.

Patellofemoral instability (PI) is the disruption of the patella's relationship with the trochlear groove as a result of abnormal movement of the patella. To identify the presence of PI, conventional radiographs (anteroposterior, lateral, and axial or skyline views), magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography are used. In this study, we examined four main instability factors: Trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance, and patellar tilt.

Evaluation of Anatomoradiological Findings on Trigeminal Neuralgia Patients Using Computed Tomography and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

The study aimed to establish and evaluate anatomoradiological landmarks in trigeminal neuralgia patients using computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam CT. CT images of 40 trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and 40 healthy individuals were retrospectively analyzed and enrolled in the study. The width and length of the foramen rotundum (FR), foramen ovale (FO), foramen supraorbitale, and infraorbitale were measured.

The Endoscopic Trans-Sinusoidal Trans-Pterygopalatine Route to the Foramen Rotundum Approach in Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment.

Aim: To describe a new, minimally invasive, and safe access to foramen rotundum via the endoscopic endonasal trans-sinusoidal route for trigeminal nerve blockage.

Material And Methods: We studied 5 fresh cadavers bilaterally, and 10 pterygopalatine fossae and maxillary nerves using the endoscopic endonasal trans-sinusoidal trans-pterygopalatine approach.

Results: The proposed approach enabled the maxillary nerve to be visualized after revealing the foramen rotundum with the help of some craniometric measurements.

Gluteoperinealis muscle: a surgically important variation.

Background: Anatomical variations are common in gluteal region. This report presents two cases of gluteoperinealis muscles detected during radiological imaging.

Case Presentation: Our study was conducted on two patients.

Importance of sonographic paratracheal lymph node evaluationin early autoimmune thyroiditis.

Background/aim: To review the sonographic views of paratracheal lymph nodes (PLNs) in the diagnosis and during different stages of autoimmune thyroiditis.

Materials And Methods: Features of the PLNs (left and right), thyroid sonography, and laboratory data were investigated in 126 cases. Patients were divided into three groups by using thyroid sonographic criteria in the literature (group 1: control, group 2: early-stage/indeterminate, group 3: definite thyroiditis).

Cervicofacial emphysema after dental treatment with emphasis on the anatomy of the cervical fascia.

Fascial organization of the neck is quite complex and highly variable between individuals. Fascial layers separate very important structures in the neck, and by this way, they build anatomical walls against spread of infections, although this alignment could lead to spread of infection very easily throughout connected fascial spaces. We tried to discuss the possible anatomical pathways resulting in cervicofacial emphysema with a case.

The effect of removable partial dentures on alveolar bone resorption: a retrospective study with cone-beam computed tomography.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare vertical and horizontal mandibular alveolar bone resorption by measuring bone morphological variation in Kennedy Class II removable partial denture (RPD) wearers and non-wearers using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: In total, 124 sites in the CBCT scans of 62 (29 RPD non-wearers, 33 RPD wearers) Kennedy Class II patients were analyzed retrospectively. Three-dimensional representations of the mandible with superimposed cross-sectional slices were developed with the CBCT scans to evaluate the mandibular alveolar height and width by measuring distances between the mandibular canal, mylohyoid ridge, alveolar crest, and lower border of the mandible in four regions (eight sites) of Kennedy Class II non-wearers and wearers of RPDs.

Evaluation of bifid mandibular canals with cone-beam computed tomography in a Turkish adult population: a retrospective study.

Purpose: Knowing the anatomic location and also variations of the mandibular canal is especially important for surgical procedures on mandible such as dental implant surgery, impacted molar extraction and sagittal split ramus osteotomy. The purpose of this study was to clarify the incidence and location of bifid mandibular canals in an adult Turkish population to avoid complications during surgical procedures.

Methods: A retrospective study using cone beam CT images was performed to evaluate bifid mandibular canal in mandible of 242 patients.
