Regional anesthesia is a popular method for surgical anesthesia in clavicular surgery. Selective blocking of the cervical 3, 4, and 5 nerve roots shows promise in clavicle surgery, with its fast onset, good anesthesia and less complications, necessitating evaluation of its impact on diaphragmatic function. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety of C3, 4, and 5 nerve root block for its application in clavicle surgery.

We report a 75-year-old female with a history of two heart operations: aortic valve replacement (St. Jude Medical 21 mm) at the age of 44 years for severe rheumatic aortic stenosis and mitral valve replacement (Carbomedics 29 mm) at the age of 51 years for rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Decades later, she presented with exertional dyspnea.

Objective: The objective of this study is to identify factors influencing progression of respiratory decline from the onset of neurological symptoms to respiratory failure in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Methods: In 100 patients with sporadic ALS, %vital capacity (%VC) was continuously measured from the first visit to the respiratory endpoint (REP). Cox proportional hazards model identified factors influencing the duration from onset of ALS to REP (Onset-REP).

Purpose: The suprascapular nerve is situated between the prevertebral fascia and the superficial layer of deep cervical fascia and on the surface of the middle and posterior scalene muscles before it reaches the suprascapular notch. Consequently, we hypothesized that injecting local anesthetics (LAs) there would introduce a new block approach for blocking the suprascapular nerve, ie, extra-prevertebral fascial block. We assessed the postoperative analgesic effect, as well as the incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis 30 minutes after the block.

Enteroviruses (EV) are a highly diverse group of viruses multiplying primarily in the gastrointestinal tract and/or the upper respiratory tract, initially distributed in two separate genera: Enterovirus and Rhinovirus, respectively. According to the similarities in genome organization and particle structure, rhinovirus species were later reclassified as also belonging to genus Enterovirus. Human EV infections are usually asymptomatic or causing mild clinical manifestations.
