Disease relevance of Nerve Block

 

High impact information on Nerve Block

  • A controlled, double-blind investigation was conducted to determine whether the dorsal penile nerve block using lidocaine hydrochloride without epinephrine would effectively reduce behavioral distress and adrenocortical responses to routine neonatal circumcision [6].
  • How do presynaptic PLA2 neurotoxins block nerve terminals [7]?
  • Two fingers on one hand were anesthetized by local injection of lidocaine, and the effectiveness of nerve blocks was verified by plethysmography [8].
  • A decrease in GABA-related cortical inhibition was achieved by ischaemic nerve block (INB) in the hand by deafferentation/deefferentation and an increase was achieved by administration of the GABA(A) receptor agonist lorazepam [9].
  • In PC12 cells, others have shown that 6-TG blocks nerve growth factor-induced neurite outgrowth and selectively inhibits the activity of protein kinase N, a partially characterized, nerve growth factor-inducible serine-threonine kinase [10].

Associations of Nerve Block with chemical compounds

  • In summary, coencapsulation of TTX in controlled release devices containing bupivacaine and dexamethasone resulted in very prolonged nerve blocks [26].
  • The assay we describe was developed to monitor plasma concentrations of phenol in children given motor point nerve blocks with dilute phenol [27].
  • Ropivacaine (Naropin) is the pure S(-)-enantiomer of propivacaine, and is a long-acting amide local anaesthetic agent, eliciting nerve block via reversible inhibition of sodium ion influx in nerve fibres.Ropivacaine is a well tolerated regional anaesthetic effective for surgical anaesthesia as well as the relief of postoperative and labour pain [28].
  • The analgesic effects of infraorbital nerve block using 0.5% bupivacaine or 1% mepivacaine dissipated within a few days, however, the effects of nerve blocks using 4% tetracaine dissolved in 0.5% bupivacaine continued for more than 3 months [29].
  • The data available suggest that, where prophylactic use of heparin is concerned, and provided the administration of the last dose of heparin and the institution of a regional anaesthetic nerve block does not occur at the same time, use of regional anaesthesia is not contraindicated in such circumstances [30].
 

Gene context of Nerve Block

  • In previous work it was shown that parats (paralyzed, temperature-sensitive, 1-53.9) and napts (no action potential, temperature-sensitive, 2-56.2), two temperature-sensitive paralytic mutations that block nerve conduction at restrictive temperatures, interact synergistically in double mutants causing unconditional lethality [31].
  • Domains of E1A that bind p105Rb, p130, and p300 are required to block nerve growth factor-induced neurite growth in PC12 cells [32].
  • The aim of performing celiac plexus and splancnic nerve blocks was surgical anesthesia at the beginning [33].
  • Ropivacaine is a long-acting, enantiomerically pure (S-enantiomer) amide local anaesthetic with a high pKa and low lipid solubility which blocks nerve fibres involved in pain transmission (Adelta and C fibres) to a greater degree than those controlling motor function (Abeta fibres) [34].
  • Paired comparisons of rCBF were made between the patient's habitual pain (HP) state and the pain alleviated (PA) state following a successful regional nerve block (RNB) with lidocaine [35].
