Functional Abdominal Pain in a Pediatric Patient After Resolution of Acute Pancreatitis: A Case Report.
Children with acute pancreatitis may develop chronic abdominal wall pain after resolution of clinical, laboratory, and radiographic signs of disease. We describe a 13-year-old boy who underwent an unrevealing, complex diagnostic evaluation for persistent abdominal pain after resolution of acute pancreatitis. ⋯ After receiving abdominal nerve blocks and trigger point injections, he experienced near-complete resolution of pain with normalization of eating habits and daily function. Pain practitioners should think critically about the signs and symptoms of visceral versus somatic pain and try newer diagnostic interventions that may be therapeutic.

Efficacy and Safety of a Novel Blunt Cannula Trans-Sub-Tenon's Retrobulbar Block for Vitreoretinal Surgery.
To evaluate a novel trans-sub-Tenon's retrobulbar block (TSTRB) compared to sub-Tenon's block (STB) and peribulbar block (PBB) anesthesia for vitreoretinal surgery. ⋯ Intentionally extending a STB into the retrobulbar space, via a TSTRB fenestration utilizes a familiar skill set. TSTRB produced the best levels of reduced kinesia during surgery and increased duration of postoperative analgesia. The technique uses a small-volume anesthesia.

To compare two needle insertion techniques in a novel lateral approach to the radial, ulnar, median and musculocutaneous (RUMM) nerve block in cat cadavers. ⋯ The lateral approach to the RUMM was achievable in cat cadavers using both needle insertion techniques. The IP technique was significantly more successful than the OP technique.

Randomized Controlled TrialUltrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Open Epigastric Hernia Repair: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study.
Hernia repair is associated with considerable postoperative pain. We studied the analgesic efficacy of bilateral ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing open midline epigastric hernia repair (T6-T9). ⋯ Ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block provided lower postoperative visual analog scale pain scores and decreased consumption of both intraoperative fentanyl and postoperative rescue analgesia for patients undergoing open epigastric hernia repair.
