Article Synopsis
- Recent studies have raised doubts about the effectiveness of targeting the thoracic medial branch for pain related to thoracic zygapophysial joints through anesthetic blocks or radiofrequency treatments.
- The research aimed to explore the origin and pathway of articular branches to these joints via cadaveric dissection at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine.
- Out of the 24 articular branches examined, 22 were identified, with notable variations in their origins and routes, providing insights that may impact the approach to pain management in this area.
Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the cerebellum has a poor short-term prognosis, whereas data on the long-term case fatality and recurrent vascular events are sparse. Herewith, we aimed to assess the long-term case fatality and recurrence rate of vascular events after a first cerebellar ICH.
Methods: In this international cohort study, we included patients from 10 hospitals (the United States and Europe from 1997 to 2017) aged ≥18 years with a first spontaneous cerebellar ICH who were discharged alive.
Background: We first utilized and reported on the use of cryoanalgesia for postoperative pain control for Nuss procedure in 2016. We hypothesized that postoperative pain control could be optimized if the intercostal nerve anatomy is better understood. To test this hypothesis, human cadavers were dissected to elucidate the intercostal nerve anatomy.

Purpose: To report previously undescribed nuances of dorsal S1 foraminal anatomy, including a bony flange that may obstruct access to the foramen.
Methods: Fluoroscopic - advanced imaging correlations of the S1 foraminal aperture were performed.
