Ultrasound Guided lateral Infra-trochanteric Sciatic Nerve Blockade for Proximal Tibial Surgery: A Novel Technique

Sciatic nerve blockade (SNB) can be performed at several point along its anatomic course. Proximal SNB techniques described include the classic Labat, sacral (Mansur), infragluteal (Raj), and anterior approches Distal SNB techniques include the mid-femoral, posterior and lateral popliteal and mid-tibial approaches. The anatomic region of the lower extramity to be anesthetixzed will determine the appropriate SNB technique to use for the operative procedure.

Ca2+-activated K+(BK) channel inactivation contributes to spike broadening during repetitive firing in the rat lateral amygdala

In many neurons, trains of action potentials show frequency-dependent broadening. This broadening results from the voltage-dependent inactivation of K+ currents that contribute to action potential repolarisation. In different neuronal cell types these K+ currents have been shown to be either slowly inactivating delayed rectifier type currents or rapidly inactivating A-type voltage-gated K+ currents. Recent findings show that inactivation of a Ca2+-dependent K+ current, mediated by large conductance BK-type channels, also contributes to spike broadening. Here, using whole-cell recordings in acute slices, we examine spike broadening in lateral amygdala projection neurons. Spike broadening is frequency dependent and is reversed by brief hyperpolarisations. This broadening is reduced by blockade of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and BK channels. In contrast, broadening is not blocked by high concentrations of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) or alpha-dendrotoxin. We conclude that while inactivation of BK-type Ca2+-activated K+ channels contributes to spike broadening in lateral amygdala neurons, inactivation of another as yet unidentified outward current also plays a role.

An Analytical Solution for the Elastic Lateral-Distortional Buckling of I-section Beams

Lateral-distortional buckling may occur in I-section beams with slender webs and stocky flanges. A computationally efficient method is presented in this paper to study this phenomenon. Previous studies on distortional buckling have been on the use of 3(rd) and 5(th) order polynomials to model the displacements. The present study provides an alternative way, using Fourier Series, to model the behaviour. Beams of different cross-sectional dimensions, load cases and restraint conditions are examined and compared. The accuracy and versatility of the method are verified by calibrating against the results of other published studies. The present method is believed to be a simple and efficient way of determining the buckling load and mode shapes of I-section beams that are susceptible to lateral-distortional buckling modes.
