Ultrasound Guided Motor Sparing Knee Blocks for Postoperative Analgesia Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
… We devised a single injection motor sparing knee block (MSB) by targeting the adductor canal and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve with a posterior knee infiltration under ultrasound. Our primary objective was to evaluate the duration of the MSB compared to a standard periarticular …

Allopurinol as a possible oxygen sparing agent during exercise in peripheral arterial disease
Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can only walk so far before they get leg pain (intermittent claudication) and have to stop. They are also at risk in the future of needing amputation of one of their limbs. Allopurinol is a new possible treatment for this condition as it has been …

A new concept and its application for protein sparing therapies during semi-starvation
The preservation of the body cell mass is a major goal of nutritional therapy. Attempts to assure this preservation during acute phases of trauma, burn or sepsis have relied on treatments which appear to maintain the clinical picture of the "fed state" either orally or parenterally …

A comparison of the costs of delivering conservation through land sharing and land sparing
… mitigation with the contrasting approach of land sparing, where high-yield farming allows large areas to be spared elsewhere in the landscape as (semi-)natural habitat. Following Brexit, the UK has the opportunity to rethink this approach; but until now policy decisions have had to be made without …

Comparison of the surgical results of the parenchymal sparing lung surgery and pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND: Parenchymal sparing lung surgery indicated for central tumors for which the alternative is pneumonectomy. Pneumonectomy has a higher perioperative mortality risk than lobectomy. To increase resection rates and improve outcomes we have implemented a policy of parenchymal sparing surgery …

Late Complications in the Descending Aorta Following Valve-Sparing Root Replacement (VSRR) in Marfan Syndrome (MFS) Patients: A Computational Analysis
Patients with Marfan Syndrome (MFS) experience an elevated risk of aortic dissection in the descending aorta (DA) following root surgery. Geometric factors related to either native anatomy or the root surgery may alter hemodynamic factors in the DA, potentially predisposing it to dissection. This …

Skin sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction for breast cancer: a three to five year follow-up study of post-operative patients looking at cosmetic outcome
Over 100 years ago Halsted described the radical mastectomy for early breast cancer. 1 This involved wide, en bloc removal of the tumour, normal surrounding structures of the chest wall, and contents of the axilla. For 75 years this remained the treatment of choice for women with breast cancer. …

Cardiovascular effects of a low and a high dose of fentanyl in the isoflurane anesthetized dog: the influence of the anesthetic-sparing effect and the correction of bradycardia
Fentanyl has historically been used to reduce inhalant anesthetic requirements in the dog, with the end goal of reducing detrimental cardiovascular effects seen with their use. While fentanyl has been investigated in this context with the older agent enflurane, this agent is no longer in common …
