Bloqueo del plano del músculo erector de la columna para analgesia de dolor lumbar crónico: serie de casos

BackgroundChronic low back pain (CLBP) is a frequent condition, poorly managed with conventional treatments. The ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block has increasingly been used in the management of acute and chronic pain. We aimed to determine this technique's analgesic efficacy in patients with moderate to severe CLBP.MethodsTen consecutively selected patients: adults, regularly followed in our Pain Clinic with moderate/severe long-term CLBP refractory to pharmacological treatment, VAS > 4. Prospective data collection: before the intervention –demographical data, past medical history, current pain therapies, VAS pain level, Brief Pain Inventory– Short Form and Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire; 30 minutes after – VAS and satisfaction level; 24 and 72 hours, 7 days and 1 month after - complications and pain level.ResultsMajority of females (90%), mean age of 70.3 years-old. All had primary musculoskeletal CLBP. 90% experienced severe pain (VAS > = 7) in the last 24 hours. Half presented neuropathic characteristics. Patients were very satisfied with the technique (mean: 8.75) with immediate pain relief (VAS mean: 2.3). 24 and 72 hours, 7 days and 1 month after the treatment VAS means were 3.2, 3.1, 3.8 and 6.2. We report a 20.8 days duration mean. No short or long-term complications.Discussion and conclusionsUltrasound-guided erector spinae plane block has preliminary advantages in CLBP: easily performed with low complications risk, immediate discharge home with absence of motor block, 100% efficacy at short and medium-terms. Even though pain's relief was shorter than a month, it is a useful tool allowing patients’ well-being, physical rehabilitation and exercise during this period.

A multi-institutional study of interobserver agreement in the evaluation of dementia with rCBF/SPET technetium-99m exametazime (HMPAO)

Although specific patterns of technetium-99m exametazime [^99mTc-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (HMPAO)] brain single-photon emission tomography (SPET) uptake have been described for patients with dementia, no multi-institutional study has evaluated interobserver agreement. Interobserver agreement for ^99mTc-HMPAO brain SPET uptake patterns in 50 clinically diagnosed demented subjects from four institutions were studied. Neurologists classified these subjects as presumed Alzheimer's disease (n=21), confirmed Alzheimers's disease (n=10), multi-infarct dementia (n=9), HIV-related dementia (n=7), or mixed (n=3). In addition 20 normal (five per institution) ^99mTc-HMPAO studies were included in a randomized blinded evaluation by three readers each from a different institution. Readers classified the general appearance of the images in one of four categories: normal, globally decreased uptake, focal areas of decreased uptake, and patchy changes in uptake. Consensus results show a sensitivity of 72% and specificity of 79% for identifying abnormalities in scans of demented subjects. Readers also rated ^99mTc-HMPAO uptake in eight designated regions in each hemisphere. Significant reader agreement (P < 0.01) for the classification by general appearance and the ratings of regional uptake was obtained. This study demonstrates that interpretation of regional cerebral blood flow/SPET images is concordant across multiple institutions and readers.Subject studies performed at St. Vincent's Hospital, New York

Regional differences in evoked dopamine efflux in brain slices of rat anterior and posterior caudate putamen

Summary Fast cyclic voltammetry using carbon fibre microelectrodes in rat brain slices, was used to investigate regional differences in electrically-evoked dopamine (DA) efflux at 10 different sites in the anterior caudate putamen (aCPu) and 10 sites in the posterior caudate putamen (pCPu). For each site DA overflow was evoked by both single pulse (1P) stimulation and by trains of 25 pulses applied at a frequency of 50 Hz (25P/50 Hz). Peak DA efflux evoked by 1P was about 58% greater in the aCPu (0.19 mol/l DA) than in the pCPu (0.12 mol/l DA), but showed no mediolateral variation in either region. Peak DA efflux evoked by 25P/50 Hz relative to 1P efflux also varied between the two regions; the aCPu contained predominantly low ratio (25P/50 HZ: 1P) sites ranging from 1.47 to 3.71, whereas in the pCPu these ratios were higher, ranging from 2.73 to 9.40, and were particularly high in the dorsomedial region of the pCPu. Efflux detected in low ratio sites of the aCPu showed little dependence on the frequency (10 to 500 Hz), or the number of pulses (5 to 20) in a train. By contrast DA efflux evoked in high ratio sites of the pCPu responded in a pulse and frequency dependent manner, the maximum ratio (approximately 8 times 1P) being at 20P/20 Hz. Interestingly the frequency response relationship obtained in the pCPu resembled the profile observed in the nucleus accumbens (NAc).Voltammetric evidence and experiments with selective reuptake blockers indicated that only DA was measured in our studies and 5-HT did not significantly contribute to the frequency dependent pattern of efflux detected in high ratio sites of the pCPu, where striatal 5-HT concentrations are highest. Experiments with the selective D₂ receptor antagonists metoclopramide or (–)sulpiride revealed that under our experimental conditions, DA efflux in the aCPu was not modulated by DA autoreceptor activation. By contrast, autoreceptor modulation did occur in high ratio sites of the pCPu at stimulations lasting longer than approximately 1000 ms.These observations support the concept that the caudate putamen is heterogeneously organised with respect to the frequency characteristics of evoked DA release. The factors controlling frequency dependent release under these conditions may be a function of A10 innervation, since high ratio release sites occur in areas where the density of such innervation is greatest, for example, the dorsomedial pCPu. This is supported by the observation that high ratio release sites are also found in the NAc, which receives dopaminergic fibres predominantly from an A10 region. However, the involvement of different regionally distributed transmitters acting on presynaptic receptors involved in the regulation of dopamine release, or differences between nerve terminals in striosomes and matrix, cannot be excluded.
