Although core temperature can be measured invasively, there are currently no widely available, reliable, noninvasive thermometers for its measurement. We thus compared a prototype zero-heat-flux thermometer with simultaneous measurements from pulmonary artery catheter. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that temperatures sufficiently accurate routine clinical use.Core was thermistor of standard catheter and deep-tissue in 105 patients having nonemergent cardiac surgery. Zero-heat-flux...
Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the environmental factors that contribute facial aging in identical twins. Methods: During Twins Day Festival Twinsburg, Ohio, 186 pairs twins completed a comprehensive questionnaire, and digital images were obtained. A panel reviewed independently recorded differences perceived twins' ages their features. age then correlated with multiple factors. Results: Four-point higher body mass index associated an older appearance younger than 40...
Introduction Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, with sacroiliac joint comprising up to 30% cases axial lower pain. Conservative therapies provide only modest relief. Although placebo-controlled trials show efficacy for sacral lateral branch cooled radiofrequency ablation, there are no comparative effectiveness studies. Methods In this randomized, multicenter study, 210 patients clinically suspected who obtained short-term benefit from diagnostic injections and...
ObjectivesTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective surgery for end-stage osteoarthritis, but chronic postoperative pain and reduced function affect up to 20% of patients who undergo such surgery. There are limited treatment options, percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) a promising nonopioid option chronic, persistent pain. The objective the present study was evaluate effect 60-day PNS in multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial treating after...
Successful treatments for intractable chronic low back pain (CLBP) in patients who are not eligible surgical interventions scarce. The superior efficacy of differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation (DTM SCS) to conventional SCS (Conv-SCS) on the treatment CLBP with persistent syndrome (PSPS) have failed (PSPS-T2) motivated evaluation DTM versus Conv-SCS PSPS non-surgical candidates (PSPS-T1).
Introduction Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain comprises up to 30% of cases mechanical low back (LBP), the leading cause disability worldwide. Despite sacral lateral branch cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) showing efficacy in clinical trials, there is a lack comparative-effectiveness long-term follow-up. Methods In this randomized, multicenter, study, 210 patients with injection-confirmed SIJ who responded prognostic blocks were randomly assigned receive CRFA L5 dorsal ramus and S1–S3/4...
Abstract Introduction The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) approved the first pain medicine fellowship programs over three decades ago, designed around a pharmacological philosophy. Following that, there has been rise in transition of education toward multidisciplinary interventional model based on tremendous surge contemporaneous literature these areas. This trend created variability clinical experience and amongst accredited with minimal evaluating differences...
The improved exposure afforded by the external rhinoplasty approach has allowed for more precise surgical maneuvers and makes consistent results possible. This study examines frequency array of during primary aesthetic in a single surgeon's practice.A retrospective review 100 consecutive cosmetic patients with minimum follow-up approximately 1 year was conducted. Surgical were reviewed tabulated. Special attention devoted to number cartilage grafts suturing techniques used. Operative times...
The present study was performed to identify factors that lead a favorable outcome of postpalatoplasty velopharyngeal incompetence using the double-opposing Z-palatoplasty.A retrospective analysis on 23 consecutive nonsyndromic patients who underwent secondary surgical management Z-palatoplasty technique following primary, non-Furlow palatoplasty for overt cleft palate.All subjects were evaluated preoperatively perceptual speech assessment scale, nasendoscopy, and videofluoroscopy. Inclusion...
Background Evidence suggests that recurrent nocturnal hypoxemia may affect pain response and/or the sensitivity to opioid analgesia. We tested hypothesis hypoxemia, quantified by sleep time spent at an arterial saturation (SaO2) < 90% and minimum SaO2 on polysomnography, are associated with decreased reduced consumption during initial 72 postoperative hours in patients having laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Methods With Institutional Review Board approval, we examined records of all who...
There is some evidence that propofol may reduce acute postoperative pain; however, the results are inconsistent. Furthermore, there a paucity of information about type anaesthesia and chronic pain. This study was designed to evaluate hypothesis reduces pain compared with sevoflurane. In randomised, prospective, double-blind trial, we assigned 80 patients having open total abdominal hysterectomy surgery either sevoflurane or propofol. Anaesthesia titrated clinical needs bispectral index...
Cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections (CTFESIs) may help decrease pain and restore function in patients with cervical radiculopathy. Evidence of the injections' effectiveness, however, remains controversial, multiple case reports have identified potential complications. Such led to diminished interest including procedure patient care algorithms.Our retrospective analysis aims evaluate CTFESI-associated relief possible decreased need for spine surgery, along its predictive role...
Pain medicine care has expanded to encompass a wider range of conditions, necessitating updated education and training for pain specialists utilize emerging technologies effectively. A national survey was conducted through several verified organizations regarding physician employers' perspectives on fellowship education. The aimed gather insights from diverse geographic locations, practice types (academic private practice), settings. findings emphasize the need educational programs adapt...
Background: Lumbar synovial cysts can result from spondylosis of facet joints. These encroach on adjacent nerve roots, causing symptoms radiculopathy. Currently the only definitive treatment for these is surgery, which may involve laminectomy or laminotomy, with without spinal fusion. Surgery has been reported to successfully relieve radicular pain in 83.5% patients by Zhenbo et al. Little information available concerning efficacy and outcome percutaneous fluoroscopic cyst rupture joint...
Suturing techniques are one of the most commonly used means to reshape nasal cartilage; however, no data exist regarding optimal suture material and its long-term effect.The aim present study was determine whether any absorbable materials will provide same long-lasting effect on cartilage reshaping as permanent materials.Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were divided into three groups 12. A 3 mm x 4 cartilaginous fold created a 5 10 in situ strip posteromedial surface each ear with...
