“…Outcome measures, which were assessed at baseline and discharge, were pain threshold speed (PTS) and maximal (Smax) during a treadmill test and pain-free walking distance (PFWD) and total distance walked in 6 minutes (6MWD). The ankle-brachial index (ABI), program duration, and patient adherence were determined. …”

“…MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 60 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II patients between 20 and 50 years of age, with body mass index ≤30 kg/m(2) posted for forearm surgeries, with anticipated surgical duration more than 1 h were randomly divided into two groups: group S (single-point injection) and group D (double-point injection technique). After locating the brachial plexus with ultrasound, needle was inserted from lateral to medial direction to reach the plexus. …”

Based on the results of conventional regression analyses adjusted for age, BMI, packyears and gender, we utilized structural equation modelling (SEM) to quantify the network of direct and indirect relationships between parameters. …”

“…Eight out of 19 patients with a successful selective axillary nerve block needed an interscalene brachial plexus escape block. CONCLUSIONS: Selective block of the axillary nerve has some pain relieving effect, but in this setting the effect was unpredictable, variable and far from sufficient in a large proportion of the patients. …”
