[Long COVID: Is it really myalgic encephalomyelitis? Bibliographic review and considerations].

Clinical sequelae of a disease as widespread as COVID-19 can be of great importance for primary care due to their prevalence and the morbidity they entail. The definition of long COVID and the establishment of its temporality are various, but some authors consider possible that this syndrome is actually myalgic encephalomyelitis.

Safe intrathecal fluorescein use for identification of cerebrospinal fluid leaks: Case-report and perioperative algorithm description.

Intrathecal injection of fluorescein is a method for repairing cerebrospinal fluid fistulas. The most frequent surgical procedure is endonasal endoscopy and the purpose of injecting this dye is to locate the fistula. The anaesthesiologists usually perform the puncture, therefore it is necessary to review this method and to specify some anaesthetic considerations such as correct dosing, safe management protocols and medical-legal aspects.

[Use of EMLA cream and ropivacaine in dacryocystorhinostomy with locoregional anesthesia and sedation].

Objective: To assess the usefulness of locoregional anesthesia and sedation as an alternative to general anesthesia for dacryocystorhinostomy.

Patients And Method: Study of 20 patients undergoing dacryocystorhinostomy between April and October 1999. All the processes were carried out by the same surgeon under locoregional anesthesia plus sedation.

[Computerized tomography of the pituitary gland in the diagnosis of prolactinoma: a concordance study].

Background: The diagnostic capacity of computed tomography (CT) of the pituitary gland in the diagnosis of prolactinomas is difficult to define in terms of specificity and sensitivity since, up to the present, there is no definite diagnostic test for prolactin producing tumors. The aim of this study is to establish the consistency of CT of the hypophysis in the diagnosis of the prolactinomas based on a concordance design.

Methods: In the follow-up study of 48 patients diagnosed as affected of prolactinoma a concordance study was carried out on the blind lecture of 35 pituitary gland CT by two radiologists.
