Sphenopalatine Ganglion versus Greater Occipital Nerve Blocks in Treating Post-Dural Puncture Headache after Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Despite being invasive, with serious complications, epidural blood patch (EBP) is still considered the gold standard therapy for Post Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH). The use of Peripheral nerve blocks for PDPH are studied here.

Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) and greater occipital nerve block (GONB) to relieve PDPH and its associated symptoms.

Effects of terlipressin infusion during hepatobiliary surgery on systemic and splanchnic haemodynamics, renal function and blood loss: a double-blind, randomized clinical trial.

Background: Terlipressin, in general, is a vasopressor which acts via V1 receptors. Its infusion elevates mean blood pressure and can reduce bleeding which has a splanchnic origin. The primary outcome was to assess the impact of intraoperative terlipressin infusion on portal venous pressure during hepatobiliary surgery; the 2ry outcomes included effects upon systemic hemodynamics, estimated blood loss, and postoperative renal functions.

[Ketamine as an adjunct to bupivacaine in infra-orbital nerve block analgesia after cleft lip repair].

Objectives: We conducted this study to investigate the safety and analgesic efficacy of the addition of Ketamine to Bupivacaine in bilateral extra-oral infra-orbital nerve block in children undergoing cleft lip surgeries.

Methods: Sixty patients were randomly allocated into two groups ( = 30), Group B received infra-orbital nerve block with 2 mL of 0.25% Bupivacaine and Group BK received 0.

Operative treatment of displaced Pipkin type I and II femoral head fractures.

Background And Purpose: The optimal surgical approach for the treatment of femoral head fracture remains controversial. We retrospectively reviewed patients with Pipkin type I and II femoral head fractures managed surgically through posterior Kocher-Langenbeck approach and Ganz trochanteric flip approach aiming to define the best approach with the least morbidity.

Patients And Methods: Between May 1995 and November 2010, 23 patients (14 men and 9 women) with an average age of 39.
