Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of the quadratus lumborum block (QLB3) compared to the posterior lumbar plexus block (LPB) for managing pain after hip surgery, addressing concerns about LPB's complexity and side effects.
- In a double-blinded trial with 46 patients, results showed no significant difference in pain relief between QLB3 and LPB, but QLB3 was associated with less quadriceps weakness and quicker administration.
- The findings suggest that QLB3 provides similar pain management as LPB while having potential advantages in reducing complications, supporting its use as an alternative in hip replacement surgeries.
The cellular responses to steroids are mediated by 2 general mechanisms: genomic and rapid/nongenomic effects. Identification of the mechanisms underlying aldosterone (ALDO)'s rapid vs their genomic actions is difficult to study, and these mechanisms are not clearly understood. Recent data suggest that striatin is a mediator of nongenomic effects of estrogen.
