1. Abstract Thoracic Paravertebral Block (TPVB) and Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) are widely used to administer analgesia in thoracic surgery. However, concerns regarding side effects such as hypotension, risk of puncture and unpredictable injectate-spread led to questions. We first performed a single-injection technique of combined TPVB and ESPB at the T5 vertebra, which provided […]

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate role of Pi10 as a clinically relevant biomarker of smoking-related airway injury in patients with Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema (CPFE) in CT according to cumulative cigarette smoking. 1.2. Material and Methods: We retrospectively assessed 54 CPFE patients and 18 healthy non-smokers (control)
1. Introduction Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic metabolic disease caused by mutations of the ALPL gene, which encodes the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). The most important HPPs biochemical marker are a low activity of the serum ALP, high urine PEA and serum pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) [1]. The HPP onset can occur at any age
