The Analgesic Mechanism and Recent Clinical Application of Erector Spinae Plane Block: A Narrative Review.

Now, the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is widely used in various thoracolumbar surgeries. It has unique advantages: simple and convenient operation, low safety risks, and reduced opioid use. The ESPB is used in thoracic surgery, abdominal surgery, and spinal surgery.

Needle breakage as an unusual complication of intravenous therapy: A case report.

Residual intravenous foreign bodies following hand trauma are relatively rare; only a few previous reports of this situation are available. It has been reported that foreign bodies often migrate to the heart and atrium dextrum. Herein, we report a recent case of needle breakage in the dorsal vein of the hand that was removed with lignification using an intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy machine and tape tourniquet to avoid proximal movement during removal.

More potential uses of specific perforator flaps in the calf - A cadaveric study on the subdermal vascular structure of the lower leg.

Background: The perforator flap has garnered significant interest since its inception due to its advantage of not needing a vascular network at the deep fascial level. Perforator flaps are commonly utilized in different flap transplant surgeries, and the thigh flap is presently the most widely used perforator flap. Is it possible for the calf to replace the thigh as a more suitable site for harvesting materials? Currently, there is a lack of relevant anatomical research.

Comparison of the Efficacy of Different Radiofrequency Techniques for the Treatment of Lumbar Facet Joint Pain: Combined with Anatomy.

Purpose Of Review: Lumbar facet pain is generally considered to be one of the major causes of chronic low back pain. Each lumbar facet joint is innervated by the medial branch of the posterior spinal nerve from its own level and above. Radiofrequency (RF) of the medial branch of the posterior branch of the spinal nerve is an effective method for the treatment of lumbar facet pain.

The Diagnostic Value of Carnett's Test with Chronic Abdominal Pain: A Narrative Review.

Purpose Of Review: Chronic abdominal wall pain is a poorly recognized cause of chronic abdominal pain, and patients frequently go misdiagnosed despite a battery of medical tests. The Carnett's test is a diagnostic tool used to distinguish between abdominal wall pain and visceral pain. This review synthesizes the current literature on the Carnett's test, merges the viewpoints of diverse writers, and evaluates and reports on the Carnett's test's applicability.

Molecular and cellular pruritus mechanisms in the host skin.

Pruritus, also known as itching, is a complex sensation that involves the activation of specific physiological and cellular receptors. The skin is innervated with sensory nerves as well as some receptors for various sensations, and its immune system has prominent neurological connections. Sensory neurons have a considerable impact on the sensation of itching.

Anatomical Study of the Accessory Tendon of the Extensor Hallucis Longus Muscle and Its Clinical Application.

Backgroud: The accessory tendon of the extensor hallucis longus (ATEHL) muscle is a common abnormal structure, and its clinical significance remains debatable. In this study, we provide the incidence of the ATEHL and characterize its morphological types in Asian cadavers and investigate its clinical applications.

Methods: The tendons from 50 adult cadaveric feet, fixed in 10% formalin, were analyzed.

Anatomical Study of the Compositions and Internal Connections of the Chiasma Plantare (Master Knot of Henry): Exploring Its Possible Clinical Impact.

The purposes of this study were to integrate the types of interconnecting fibers among components of the chiasma plantare and to deduce their flexion actions. The chiasma plantare and the long flexor tendons in 52 cadaveric feet (26 left feet and 25 right feet) were dissected and removed via gross anatomic dissection. The connections among the flexor digitorum longus (FDL), flexor hallucis longus (FHL), and quadratus plantae (QP) were then classified and analyzed.

Anatomical basis of a proximal fasciocutaneous extension of the distal-based posterior interosseous flap that allows exclusion of the proximal posterior interosseous artery.

Objective: The objective of this study was to provide anatomical information for the repair of small tissue defects in the hand with posterior interosseous artery chain-link perforator flaps, a proximal fasciocutaneous extension of the distal-based posterior interosseous flap, which allows the exclusion of the proximal posterior interosseous artery.

Methods: Fourteen posterior interosseous artery chain-link perforator flaps taken from human cadavers were studied by the following three methods: latex perfusion for microanatomy analysis, denture material and vinyl chloride mixed packing for cast analysis, and latex perfusion for the production of clearance specimens. Statistical analysis was performed on cutaneous perforators coming from the intermuscular septum of the extensor carpi ulnaris and the extensor digitorum communis.
