Beside the common side effects of vaccines, there are also increasing reports of herpes zoster (HZ) activation. In this report, we describe three cases of HZ, one of them with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) after receiving inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. The first two patients developed HZ 8 and 10 days after vaccination, respectively. When pain could not be controlled with paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, the patients received weak opioid codeine. In addition, the first patient received gabapentin, and the second patient was applied erector spinae plane block. The third patient was admitted 4 months after the diagnosis of HZ and considered to have PHN and pain palliation was provided with tramadol. Although the exact cause has not yet been fully resolved, increased reports of HZ after vaccination suggests a link between vaccines and HZ. Considering that receiving COVID-19 vaccines will going on, HZ and PHN cases will continue to be seen. More epidemiological studies are needed to further evaluate the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and HZ.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9293108","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}

This prospective randomized clinical trial aims to compare ultrasound (USG)-guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (IL/IH) nerve block and pre-incisional wound infiltration (PWI) in terms of post-operative analgesia on pediatric unilateral inguinal hernia repair.Methods: After receiving ethics committee approval, 65 children aged 1-6 years who had unilateral inguinal hernia repair were allocated to USG-guided IL/IH nerve block (group IL/IH, n=32) and (group PWI, n=33). In both groups, 0.5 mg/kg 0.25% bupivacaine+2% prilocaine mixture was used by calculating the volume as 0.5 mL/kg for the block and infiltration. The primary outcome was to compare both groups' post-operative Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability (FLACC) scores. The secondary outcomes included the time to first analgesic request and the total acetaminophen consumption.Results: The FLACC pain scores at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th h were statistically significantly lower in group IL/IH than in group PWI (p=0.013, p<0.001, p<0.001, and p=0.037, respectively) (p<0.001). There was no difference between the groups at the 10th and 30th min and at 24 h (p=0.472, p=0.586, and p=0.419, respectively) (p>0.05).Conclusion: USG-guided IL/IH nerve block in pediatric patients with inguinal hernia repair was found to be superior to PWI in terms of lower pain scores, less additional analgesia requirement, and longer first analgesia requirement.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9293109","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}

The patients were divided into two groups: Central canal stenosis and lateral recess/foraminal stenosis groups. Visual analogue scale and neurological claudication values of both patient groups were evaluated before and after physical therapy. The association between comorbid diseases and the frequency of surgery was also evaluated.Results: 142 of the patients were female and 108 were male, and the mean age of these patients was 69 years. The mean onset of symptoms was 55 months. In the visual analog scale value of patients after physical therapy, the authors observed decreases of 4-6° in patients with central canal stenosis and 2-3° in patients with lateral recess/foraminal stenosis. In addition, the authors observed that patients with lateral recess/foraminal stenosis together with diabetes mellitus benefit less from physical therapy.Conclusion: Physical therapy and rehabilitation play an important role in the treatment of lumbar stenosis. Physical therapy is the primary treatment option for patients who do not have motor muscle strength losses and incontinence and who have pain control through medications. The authors can consider surgical interventions in patients with lateral recess/foraminal stenosis who do not benefit from physical therapy at a satisfactory level.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10569791","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}

The AS activity was assessed by Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), AS Disease Activity Score (ASDAS-ESR, ASDAS-CRP), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The functional status was assessed by the Bath AS Functional Index (BASFI). AS Quality of Life Questionnaire was administered for the assessment of the disease-related quality of life. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for sleep assessment and Beck Depression Inventory for psychological assessment were administered to all participants.Results: Sleep problems and depressive symptoms were significantly higher in AS patients compared to healthy individuals. All of the AS clinical parameters were significantly higher in AS patients with poor sleep quality than in AS patients with good sleep quality. In the correlation analysis, it was determined that poor sleep quality, depressive symptoms and low quality of life were strongly correlated with each other and AS clinical parameters. The most effective predictor for sleep problems was higher BASDAI scores, followed by higher BASFI, VAS, ASDAS-ESH scores, and younger age. Higher BASFI and VAS scores were predictors for depressive symptoms.Conclusion: The findings indicate that poor sleep, depressive symptoms and low quality of life may negatively affect the AS clinic, and therefore sleep quality and depression should not be ignored in the examinations of AS patients.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10569787","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}

Increasing in quality of images may lead to better conclusions. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the effect of artificial-coloring on image quality and practitioner's preferences.Methods: Ultrasound images of five block regions, interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, femoral, and popliteal were taken on a volunteer using gray scale. Then, the images were colored in seven different color scales using artificial-coloring technique. All participants were asked to fill in the structured questionnaire.Results: All created images were assessed by three specialist and 14 resident anesthesiologists. The highest scores about nerve recognition, distinguishing nerve from surrounding tissues, and visual clarity of fascicles were obtained with blue scale images; however, these findings were not significant compared to gray scale (p>0.05). Blue scale was chosen as a favorite scale by 53% of participants.Conclusion: Increasing the image quality and resolution while performing regional anesthesia under ultrasound guidance increases success and reduces complications. Artificial-coloring is one of the adjustments that can improve image quality. In our study, the results of coloring with blue were remarkable. However, more importantly than the color chosen, we believe that routine adjustments such as gain, depth, and focusing will bring important advantages.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10865337","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}

We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided interfascial blocks of the trapezius muscle in patients with CEH who showed tenderness in the upper cervical muscle groups.Methods: A total of 23 patients were evaluated in the prospective observational trial. The injection was performed between the trapezius muscle and levator scapula muscle fascia with a disposable 25-gauge, 10-cm Quincke-tip spinal needle. 10 mL of 0.125% bupivacaine was injected between the muscle fascia. Numeric rating scale (NRS), neck disability index (NDI), pain frequency, and analgesic consumption in the pre-treatment and post-treatment period were evaluated.Results: The NRS scores at 10 min, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after treatment were significantly better than the pre-treatment NRS score. The NDI scores at 1, 2, and 4 weeks after treatment were significantly better than the pre-treatment NDI score. The pain frequency at 1 and 2 weeks after treatment was significantly lower than that recorded in the pre-treatment period. Statistically significant reductions were observed in analgesic consumption at 1, 2, and 4 weeks after treatment, in comparison with consumption in the pre-treatment period.Conclusion: We suggest that an ultrasound-guided interfascial block of the trapezius muscle is effective for the treatment of CEH caused by muscle disorders.","PeriodicalId":45603,"journal":{"name":"Agri-The Journal of the Turkish Society of Algology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10569789","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}
