I have closely watched the early years of the relatively young Saudi Spine Society, and have been truly amazed by the growth and the multiple focused initiatives that the society has created. As I watch the tremendous growth of the Saudi Spine Society, I am pondering the purpose of any given spine society in the clinical practice of spine surgeons in any specific region, country, city, spine group, or individual practice. What follows are some personal thoughts on the relationship of spine societies with clinical practice. \u0000To read the full text, please download the PDF or view the article HTML.","PeriodicalId":199836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spine Practice (JSP)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115774531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Low Back Pain and Its Correlations with Poor Sleep Quality Among Healthcare Providers","authors":"Rayan A. Buhalim","doi":"10.18502/jsp.v1i1.9790","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18502/jsp.v1i1.9790","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Low back pain is found to be the most common occupational and work-related musculoskeletal symptom worldwide. Its prevalence was found to be almost twice among healthcare providers (HCPs) than in other occupations. It is observed that the prevalence of poor sleep quality is higher in HCPs than the general population. To the best of our knowledge, this reciprocal relationship is still unresolved. Thus, this study aims to establish the relationship between low back pain and sleep quality among HCPs in Saudi Arabia. \u0000Methodology: An anonymous cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was performed on HCPs in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire consisted of three sections. The first section included the biographical data of the participants; the second included Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire for low back pain; and the third section was the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Informed consent from each participant and ethical approval were taken before the commencement of the study. \u0000Result: Four hundred and forty-two respondents participated and completed the questionnaire. Nearly two-thirds of the respondents were male (62.7%) while the rest were female (37.3%). Most of the respondents were living in either the central (23.3%) or the northern (23.3%) regions. It was found that the correlation between global PSQI and ODI score was positively highly statistically significant (r = 0.235; p < 0.001). The correlation between ODI score and PSQI components including subjective sleep quality (r = 0.229; p = 0.007), habitual sleep efficiency (r = 0.229; p < 0.01), and daytime dysfunction were also positively highly statistically significant. \u0000Conclusion: HCPs in Saudi Arabia with higher low back pain disability rating demonstrated poorer overall sleep quality and vice versa. However, further research is needed to investigate whether this relationship is dependent on each other in terms of causality.","PeriodicalId":199836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spine Practice (JSP)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116963497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effect of Magnesium Sulfate on the Total Anesthetic and Analgesic Requirements in Neurosurgery","authors":"E. Manaa, A. Alhabib","doi":"10.4172/2155-9562.S11-001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2155-9562.S11-001","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: The intraoperative anesthetic and postoperative analgesic requirements are of great importance especially in neurosurgical anesthesia. This requires balancing a deep and effective anesthesia and postoperative analgesia versus the risks of delayed recovery and postoperative respiratory depression from excessive analgesics. Magnesium sulfate is an antagonist of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors in a voltage-dependent fashion. Propofol also inhibits the NMDA subtype of the glutamate receptor. Therefore, magnesium sulfate when coadministered with propofol potentiates anesthetic effect and NMDA antagonism of propofol. Majority of the studies that evaluated the anesthetic and analgesic requirement in patients receiving magnesium sulfate depended on the clinical parameters, for example, hemodynamic parameters and measurement of pain scores. In this study, we added bispectral index (BIS) and neuromuscular monitoring using train-of-four (TOF) to adjust intraoperative anesthetic requirements in addition to the clinical parameters. \u0000Methodology: This randomized controlled double-blind study included 50 adult ASA I and II male and female patients undergoing neurosurgical maneuvers. Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. Routine intraoperative monitoring including invasive BP and in addition TOF and BIS were applied. In a blind fashion, patient in group I (Magnesium group) received magnesium sulfate 20 mg/kg as bolus dose over 5 min followed by 0.1 ml/kg/hr of 10% solution as infusion, while patient in group II (Control group) received saline with the same bolus and infusion rates after the induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced in both groups by fentanyl 2 µg/kg, propofol 1.5–2 mg/kg, and rocuronium in a dose of 0.6 mg/kg to facilitate ETT insertion. This is followed by continuous infusion of propofol 6–10 mg/kg/hr and fentanyl 1–2 mic/kg/hr. The parameters which were assessed included hemodynamic parameters (HR and BP), TOF, and BIS. Total consumptions of propofol, fentanyl, rocuronium, and postoperative analgesic requirements (PCA morphine) were recorded. In addition, recovery time and postoperative pain score by visual analog scale (VAS) were recorded. \u0000Result: There was no significant difference in patient characteristics between the two groups. As regard the hemodynamic changes and BIS, no significant difference was seen between the two groups except the HR change which was significantly reduced (p = 0.005) with surgical stimulation in group I compared to the other group. Results also showed that the mean fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium consumption, recovery time, degree of postoperative pain, and postoperative analgesic requirements were significantly less in patients that received magnesium sulfate infusion compared to those in the control group. \u0000Conclusion: Magnesium sulfate is most likely a safe and cost-effective supplement to the general anesthesia in neurosurgery as it reduces the total anesthetic","PeriodicalId":199836,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spine Practice (JSP)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114658217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
