Novel method for modified interlaminar approach using contralateral oblique view: A technical suggestion.

A modified interlaminar (MIL) approach has been proposed for improved accessibility to the target epidural space. However, even with fluoroscopic guidance, uncertainty about the distance between the needle tip and the epidural space can remain. Using the contralateral oblique (CLO) view, determination of the epidural space can be easier with clearer identification of the interlaminar opening.

Full recovery of near complete tear of anterior cruciate ligament without surgery: a case report.

Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the region where spraining or tearing is most prevalent when the knee is injured. Complete ACL ruptures have a much less favorable outcome without surgical intervention. Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a relatively safe substance widely used for regenerative therapy.

Haloperidol dose combined with dexamethasone for PONV prophylaxis in high-risk patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, dose-response and placebo-controlled study.

Background: Low-dose haloperidol is known to be effective for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). However, precise dose-response studies have not been completed, especially in patients at high risk for PONV who require combination therapy. This study sought to identify which dose of haloperidol 1mg or 2mg could be combined with dexamethasone without adverse effects in high-risk patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Dexmedetomidine reduces pain associated with rocuronium injection without causing a decrease in BIS values: a dose-response study.

Study Objectives: To examine whether dexmedetomidine reduces the injection pain of propofol and rocuronium and to investigate whether the decrease in injection pain is associated with the known sedative action of dexmedetomidine.

Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical comparison study.

Interventions: Patients undergoing general anesthesia with intubation received 40 mg of 1% lidocaine (lidocaine group; n = 28), 0.
