   Abstract : Background: Older people with hip fractures are often frail with several comorbidities and roughly half of them have dementia disorders.

4. 2. Long acting local anaesthetics - a study in rats

   Author : Henrik Dyhre; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; in vivo and effect kinetics; Comparison of in vitro; Neuro toxicity; Infraorbital nerve block; Sciatic nerve block; Lipid depot formulation;

   Abstract : Local anaesthetics provide excellent pain relief after central and peripheral nerve blocks. However, in many clinical situations there is an insufficient duration of action to allow effective treatment of long-term pain with single injection techniques. This problem became the focus of the present studies. READ MORE

5. 3. Photodynamic therapy- pain and aspects of pain relief

6. 4. Cervical Radiculopathy: A Study With Selective Nerve Root Blocks

   Author : Leif Anderberg; Neurokirurgi; []

   Abstract : Cervical radiculopathy is diagnosed by history, clinical examination of the patient and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine. In many of the patients undergoing this diagnostic strategy, the nerve root/roots responsible for the radicular pain is difficult to define as clinical examination and MRI investigation does not provide information enough.
