The fascia iliaca block (FIB) is an anterior approach to block the lumbar plexus. It
disturbed mainly to the anterior region of the thigh by blocking the femoral nerve (LFC) and
the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Moreover, FIB may possibly be extended to the obturator,
ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh and over the psoas muscle
but, rarely reaches the lumbar plexus.
The fascia iliaca compartment could be detected by bony landmarks palpation and the loss of
resistance technique. Feeling two tactile ”pops” due to loss of resistance occurred during
the needle passage through the fascia lata and the fascia iliaca. Ultrasound (US) guidance of
FIB will increase the success rate and the efficacy of sensory blockade by decreasing the
needed local anesthetic amount.
Radiotherapy (RT) is a major treatment for malignant tumors. The latest data show that >70% of patients with malignant tumors need RT at different periods. Skin changes can be experienced by up to 95% of patients who underwent RT. Inflammation and oxidative stress (OS) have been shown to be generally associated with radiation-induced skin reactions (RISRs). Inflammatory response and OS interact and promote each other during RISRs. Severe skin reactions often have a great impact on the progress of RT. The treatment of RISRs is particularly critical because advanced RT technology can also lead to skin reactions. RISRs are classified into acute and chronic reactions.

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, i.e. breathing pure oxygen under increased environmental pressures serves as a treatment for diverse medical conditions. However, elevated oxygen concentration can be detrimental to central nervous system or lungs. Our study...
Abstract: Osmidrosis surgery is still recognized as one of the best ways to treat body odor, especially the liposuction assisted curettage due to the relatively small incision that does not leave any scars, which, nevertheless, may still cause many complications. One...
he photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the presence of molecular oxygen. Thus, the efficiency of PDT is limited in anoxic regions of tumor tissue and vascular shutdown. It is reported the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) may enhance the efficiency of PDT. However, there are rarely studies about utilizing HBO plus PDT for treatment with human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and compare the therapeutic effect of combined therapy and PDT alone treatment. Multiple cellular and molecular biology techniques were used in the current study such as CCK-8, western blotting, flow cytometry, MDC staining and immunofluorescence assay.
Abstract: The objective of the study is to explore the etiology, clinical manifestations, imaging features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cerebral air embolism complicated computed tomography (CT) scan-guided percutaneous liver biopsy. A case of air embolism...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used as treatment for different clinical conditions, including fibromyalgia (FM). HBOT modulates brain activity, ameliorates chronic pain and modifies the ratio of immune cells. Clinical studies have provided...
The aim of this study is to determine the ED90 of hyperbaric intrathecal bupivacaine for the
super obese population undergoing cesarean section under a combined spinal epidural
technique.
Abstract: This is a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of concomitant administration of hyaluronic acid and topical hyperbaric oxygen therapy (THOT) by a specifically designed medical device (vaginal natural oxygenation device, VNOD) in improving the...
