PURPOSE The pain from corticosteroid injections is not an insignificant issue for patients with trigger finger. PF06821497 The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous single-injection digital block (SSIDB) for pain reduction during trigger finger corticosteroid injection. METHODS Ninety patients requiring corticosteroid injections for trigger finger were randomized to three groups SSIDB with 2 ml of 1% lidocaine, SSIDB with 1 ml of 1% lidocaine and no digital block (control group). In SSIDB groups, the intrasynovial corticosteroid injections were performed after digital nerve block. In control group, ethyl chloride spray was applied prior to intrasynovial injection of the corticosteroid and 1% lidocaine mixture. The pain during lidocaine needle insertion, lidocaine infiltration, corticosteroid needle insertion and corticosteroid infiltration were determined with a visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS The VAS pain scores for corticosteroid needle insertion in both SSIDB groups were significantly lower than the VAS pain scores in control group (p  less then  0.001). The VAS pain score during corticosteroid infiltration in 2 ml of 1% lidocaine group was significantly lower than 1 ml of 1% lidocaine group (p = 0.008), and in control group (p  less then  0.001). Pain during nerve block procedure in both SSIDB groups was significantly lower than the pain from corticosteroid injection in the control group (p  less then  0.05 and p  less then  0.05). CONCLUSIONS Subcutaneous single-injection digital block with 2 ml of 1% lidocaine was highly effective in reducing pain associated with injection of corticosteroid for trigger finger.Uveitis is characterized by intraocular inflammation involving the uveal tract; its etiologies generally fall into two broad categories autoimmune/inflammatory or infectious. Corticosteroids are a powerful and important class of medications ubiquitous in the treatment of uveitis. They may be given systemically or locally, in the form of topical drops, periocular injection, intravitreal suspension, or intravitreal implant. This review describes each of the currently available corticosteroid treatment options for uveitis, including favorable and unfavorable characteristics of each as well as applicable clinical trials. The main advantage of corticosteroids as a whole is their ability to quickly and effectively control inflammation early on in the course of uveitis. However, they can have serious side effects, whether localized to the eye (such as cataract and elevated intraocular pressure) or systemic (such as osteonecrosis and adrenal insufficiency) and in the majority of cases of uveitis are not an appropriate option for long-term therapy.PURPOSE The aim of the present work is to present a rare case of Tapia's syndrome (hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal nerve apraxia) following cervical spine surgery with tracheostomy. METHODS Clinical data were collected from patient's medical records. RESULTS After uneventful cervical spine surgery with tracheostomy, the patient reported mild dysphagia and dysphonia. Clinical examination and electromyography confirmed unilateral hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal disfunction, contralateral to surgical access. Neural damage was transitory and full functional recovery was achieved within 12 months. CONCLUSION Tapia's syndrome can be a rare complication of cervical spine surgery with tracheostomy, due to multiple factors, including tracheostomy cuffed cannula and cervical spine position during surgery.The ethics of using nonhuman animals in biomedical research is usually seen as a subfield of animal ethics. In recent years, however, the ethics of animal research has increasingly become a subfield within research ethics under the term "animal research ethics". Consequently, ethical issues have become prominent that are familiar in the context of human research ethics, such as autonomy or self-determination, harms and benefits, justice, and vulnerability. After a brief overview of the development of the field and a discussion of relevant theoretical ethical frameworks, I consider two of these issues, namely autonomy and self-determination on the one hand, and harms and benefits on the other hand. My concern is with philosophical and ethical issues, rather than animal research oversight. I focus my discussion on nonhuman primates, as the most plausible nonhuman candidates for this approach. I conclude that the approach, although promising, depends strongly on the moral status of nonhuman research subjects.Expression of paternally-expressed gene 3 (PEG3) has been identified in new cardiac adult stem cell population, which is involved in post-myocardial infarction remodeling. The cardiac fibroblasts function in the repair and remodeling events after myocardial ischemia, while the role of PEG3 in these events has not been investigated yet. In this study, artificial knockdown of PEG3 through p-LV-GFP-sh-PEG3 injection was performed in a ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) mouse model to explore the role of PEG3 in cardiac fibrosis, myocardial injury and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Besides, the involvement of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway was illuminated by transduction of inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC). Both shRNA-mediated silencing of PEG3 and inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway were shown to significantly reduce myocardial injury, infarction size, alleviated myocardium remodeling and cardiac fibrosis, along with repressed cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Additionally, we also found that the NF-κB signaling pathway activation was blocked by PEG3 silencing, which could further enhance the protective effects of PEG3 inhibition against I/R induced injury. This study highlights the importance of PEG3 silencing in preventing cardiac fibrosis and myocardial injury after I/R by inactivating the NF-κB signaling pathway.Nowadays, divorce rate increases rapidly; therefore evaluation, of dyadic adjustment and happiness at marriage gains importance. In the study, 910 women were reached and 772 married women agreed to participate in the study. Women have a mild level for dyadic adjustment and happiness with spouses. Sociodemographic factors such as income status, age, age at first marriage, the number of children, duration of marriage, woman's and her husband's education level and type of marriage affect dyadic adjustment and relationship happiness. It is recommended that within the scope of primary healthcare, women should be followed in terms of dyadic adjustment and factors affecting dyadic adjustment, happiness and that couples who are at risk should be provided counseling services.
