Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic disorder characterized by that disproportionate to the inciting event. Autonomic and inflammatory responses predominate, treatment plans explicitly target these reduce symptoms for longer periods of time, are typically better tolerated, have more favorable outcomes. Our patient was young male who presented with four-month history road traffic a...

INTRODUCTION Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae affecting the skin and the nerves. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS/Sudeck's dystrophy) is a painful and disabling condition--a triad of autonomic, sensory, and motor symptoms disproportionate to the inciting event (inflammatory, infective, or traumatic nerve damage). CASE A 20-year-old male presented with...

Peripheral nerve blocks are common and effective means for anesthesia for limb surgery. The evaluation of the success of a peripheral blockade is based on the loss of sensation, with no objective means of detecting a successful block. The autonomic innervation to the upper extremity, which controls both the vascular tone and the activity of sweat glands, is supplied by nerve fibers accompanying...

conclusions open gastrostomy was successfully performed under subcostal tap block with small dose fentanyl supplementation. the subcostal tap block is considered a useful anesthetic choice in surgery for high risk patients. introduction many papers have reported that tap block provides effective postoperative analgesia, but the sole use of tap block for surgical anesthesia has been rarely repor...

Physiological studies on three women with limb myokymia were carried out. The patients had diabetic neuropathy, neuromyotonia, and autonomic polyneuropathy, respectively. The EMG discharge pattern, coincident with myokymia, in a patient with myokymia and neuromyotonia differed from those with myokymia without neuromyotonia. In only the first patient did the electrical stimulation of nerves evok...
