Study Objective: To assess anesthesia-related complications during and following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for staghorn stones.
Design: Prospective study and a detailed case report.
Setting: Medical center in southern Israel.
Article Synopsis
- Many cases of low back pain are often incorrectly attributed to protruding discs, even when neurological symptoms are absent, leading to potential misdiagnosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
- The study aimed to evaluate how frequently sacroiliac joint dysfunction occurs in patients who have low back pain and positive disc findings but no claudication or neurological issues.
- After conducting diagnostic infiltrations, results showed significant pain reduction in patients, suggesting that sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a major factor in low back pain and should be included in differential diagnoses.
Objective: Our purpose was to reassess the effectiveness of phenol 4% in aqueous solution for neurolysis in patients with severe chronic nonmalignant pain syndromes who did not achieve adequate pain control (visual analog scale [VAS]
Design: Forty-two patients with severe nonmalignant pain persisting for 6 months or longer were followed for more than 6 months after phenol neurolysis in this prospective observational study. All patients had previously received narcotic drugs, with or without nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents or adjuvants, without adequate pain relief.
Study Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of immediate preoperative reduction of arterial blood pressure (BP) in patients with well-controlled hypertension but with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between 110 and 130 mmHg on arrival at the operating room (OR).
Design: Prospective, randomized, large-sample study.
Setting: University-affiliated, 550-bed community hospital.
