Application of 3D MR Neurogram for Intraparotid Facial Nerves Evaluation
Parotid neoplasm consists of a wide range of benign and malignant lesions, and parotidectomy has been the mainstay for management of these neoplasms. Within the parotid gland there are branches of the intra-parotid facial nerves, which are tiny in calibre and are prone to injury to injury during operation. It …
Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Rendezvous Versus Precut Papillotomy
Selective bile duct cannulation is the most important step in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for treatment of benign and malignant pancreatobiliary diseases, but it may fail in up to 15% of cases. Precut papillotomy is an advanced ERCP cannulation technique recommended by guidelines for rescue of difficult biliary access, but …
Sensorimotor Block Dynamics and Hemidiaphragmatic Palsy: Selective Trunk Block vs Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block
Ultrasound guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block (BPB) has been extensively studied and recommended as a sole anesthetic for upper extremity surgeries. The efficacy of ultrasound-guided (USG) SeTB for surgical anesthesia of the entire upper extremity and cadaver anatomic study evaluating the spread of the injectate after a simulated SeTB is …
Minimum Effective Local Anesthetic Volume for Ultrasound Guided Superior Trunk Block
The objective of this study is to identify the minimum effective dosage of a commonly used local anaesthetic drug "levobupivacaine" required to produce an effective ultrasound guided (USG) superior trunk block (STB) in at least 90% of patients for shoulder arthroscopic surgeries.
Prospective RCT Lidocaine & Levobupivacaine on Block Dynamics After Subparaneural Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block
Sciatic nerve block at the popliteal fossa is indicated for foot or ankle surgery, and the introduction of ultrasound guidance (USG) has improved the ease and accuracy of the performance of this block. Recent studies proved that subparaneural injection is associated with faster block onset, higher block success rate, and …

Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Versus Active Controls in Improving Psychological Functions of Parents and Children With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Systematic reviews revealed that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for parents had medium-to-large effect sizes in improving parental depression/anxiety (d > 0.50), dysfunctional parenting styles (ds = 0.61-0.77), and small-to-large effect sizes in improving children's behavioral and emotional problems (ds = 0.25-0.84) in children/teenagers with various chronic diseases. A recent …
