Department of Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, New Valley University, El-kharga, New Valley, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- Enucleation and exenteration are common eye surgeries in veterinary medicine, specifically in camels, and this study introduces a new surgical method using the supraorbital fossa approach.
- Seven camels underwent this technique at King-Faisal Teaching Veterinary Hospital, where the procedure involved sedation, a specific incision, and careful dissection to remove the eye while managing bleeding effectively.
- The results indicated that the new approach was successful, with a mean surgery time of about 46.6 minutes and few complications, suggesting it is a safe and effective option for camel eye surgery, but further research is needed for wider application.

: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and postherpetic pruritus (PHP) are common complications of shingles that affect patients' quality of life. PHN and PHP can be managed using various medications and interventional procedures; however, complications persisting for at least six months may hamper recovery. Subcutaneous injections of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) can control persistent PHN and PHP.

Department of Anesthesiology, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Medical Centre, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether bilateral superficial trigeminal nerve blocks can reduce the need for morphine after pituitary adenoma surgery, as postoperative headaches and nausea often lead to longer hospital stays.
- Forty-nine patients were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block with ropivacaine or a placebo, with the primary focus on morphine use in the first six hours post-surgery.
- Results showed no significant difference in morphine consumption or other secondary outcomes, suggesting that postoperative headaches may have complex causes not addressed by the nerve block intervention.

Department of Neurology, Gaziosmanpasa Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background And Purpose: Peripheral nerve blockade techniques have been developed for both acute and prophylactic treatment of migraine. Our aim was to compare pain parameters between the groups of patients who only had greater occipital nerve blockade (GON), and those who also had blockade to the supraorbital nerve (SON) and infraorbital nerve (ION) together with greater occipital nerve blockade, in order to reduce pain more effectively in migraine patients.
Methods: 50 patients diagnosed with migraine were included in our study.
