Introduction Effective postoperative analgesia is imperative for orthopedic surgeries to enhance recovery and facilitate early ambulation. Various additives have been used as adjuvants with local anesthetics in peripheral nerve blocks to provide postoperative analgesia. The aim of this study is to compare the duration of postoperative analgesia with buprenorphine and dexamethasone when administ...

background: recent reports have suggested that ultrasound-guided embryo transfer (ug-et) might improve pregnancy rates. objective: to determine whether transabdominal ug-et is a useful tool for increasing pregnancy and implantation rates in patients undergoing ivf or icsi. materials and methods: a prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted in 180 patients in order to compare embryo tra...

Background The use of a medical simulator should enhance the goals of minimally invasive surgery: patient safety, cosmesis, shortening the length of hospital admissions, and reducing cost. Using an innovative approach to the handling of ultrasound images in virtual reality simulation, this article describes a process that employs a hybrid model of deformable models that can be applied in the te...

Background Meconium ileus (MI) is one type intestinal obstruction due to inspissated meconium at the level of the terminal ileum. The purpose of this study is to present the non-ionizing ultrasound-guided approach for the treatment of meconium ileus. Materials and Methods This study was performed, prospectively, at Dr. Sheikh and Akbar children's Hospitals, Mashhad University of Medical Science...

INTRODUCTION The anterolateral abdominal wall is innervated by the T7 to L1 anterior rami, whose nerves travel in the fascial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominus muscles, known as the transversus abdominus plane (TAP). Ultrasound-guided techniques of regional anesthesia that target the TAP are increasingly relied upon by anesthesiologists for pain management related to ...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Total hip replacement surgeries may result in intense postoperative pain. There are many analgesia techniques available clinical practice and lumbar erector spine plane (LESP) block be an option of effective technique with milder adverse effects easier execution. CASE REPORT: Female patient, 23-year-old, allergic to morphine tramadol, underwent a total left a...

ultrasound guidance for pain interventions is becoming increasing recognized as a useful imaging tool. one of the common interventions where it is gaining wider acceptance is during the performance of a stellate ganglion block. the following is a unique report where intravascular and neuronal injury occurred during the performance of an ultrasound guided stellate ganglion block followed by dysp...

Background: Thyroid nodules are a common problem which requires an accurate cytological diagnosis for proper management. An essential investigation modality is fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) with a sensitivity ranging between 80-90%. Recommendations vary regarding the use of ultrasound in improving the accuracy of free hand fine needle aspiration biopsy. Objective: The aim of our study ...
