Regional Anesthesia with Spontaneous Breathing for Trans-Axillary Surgery in Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: A Retrospective Comparative Study.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Operative Research Unit of Anesthesia and Intensive Care, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico, Via Alvaro del Portillo, 200-00128 Roma, Italy.
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is an uncommon condition defined by the compression of neurovascular structures within the thoracic outlet. When conservative management strategies fail to alleviate symptoms, surgical decompression becomes necessary. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of regional anesthesia (RA) using spontaneous breathing in contrast to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing surgical intervention for TOS.

Clin Neurophysiol
January 2025
Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark; Department of Clinical Medicine and Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen, Denmark; Department of Neurology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Objective: To investigate motor axonal excitability in multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) associated with involuntary muscle activity.
Methods: Two MMN patients with continuous involuntary finger movements (MMNifm) were compared to 11 patients without movements (MMNnfm). Clinical examination, EMG of the abductor pollicis brevis muscle, nerve conduction studies, motor unit number estimation, excitability studies, and mathematical modeling were conducted in the patients with MMN and compared to controls.
Retrospective Cohort Study on the Incidence and Management of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain in Stroke Inpatients.
Cureus
December 2024
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Centro de Reabilitação do Norte, Vila Nova de Gaia, PRT.
Background: Painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) is a prevalent and challenging complication following a stroke and can significantly impair a patient's engagement in rehabilitation, leading to poorer functional outcomes and extended hospital stays. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the incidence, etiology, and management of PHS in stroke inpatients, focusing on the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of subacute stroke inpatients who developed PHS during rehabilitation at a single center.
Modified approach to external oblique intercostal block: a proof-of-concept pilot case series and anatomical evaluation.
Korean J Anesthesiol
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Juntendo University School of Medicine, 2-1-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Regional anesthesia techniques that provide analgesia to the entire lateral abdomen are limited. We present a modified external oblique intercostal block for complete lateral abdominal analgesia with a single injection.
Case: We performed a modified version of the external oblique intercostal block unilaterally at the tenth rib along the mid-axillary line in three patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (two single injections, one catheter placement) and tested the technique on a cadaver with 20 ml of dye bilaterally.
Role of bilevel erector spinae with high thoracic block vs conventional unilevel block in analgesia and reduction of pain in axilla in breast cancer surgeries: a randomized controlled trial.

Department of Anaesthesia, Surgical Critical Care and Pain Management, National Cancer Institute-Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.
Introduction: Management of pain associated with breast cancer surgeries is crucial in reducing incidence of postmastectomy pain syndrome. The pain distribution involves the anterior chest wall, axillary area and ipsilateral upper limb.
Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of bilevel erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with high thoracic block vs the conventional unilevel ESPB vs opioids in patients with cancer undergoing modified radical mastectomy regarding pain control and reducing pain in axilla.
