  • Nerve Block of Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve of the Thigh
    18VTLLAA 1 Nerve block of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh. Dr. Robert M Raw (MD) . MBChB, MFGP, MPraxMed, DA, FCA. Professor of Anesthesia retired Editor of Regional-Anesthesia.Com INDEX. 1. Introduction 2. Anatomy 3. Choice of local anesthetic 4. General indications 5. Complications and side effects 6. Conclusion ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. INTRODUCTION The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (LFCN) is the single human nerve most subject to anatomic variations. Figure #1shows the dermatome of LFCN. The nerve is small and mostly invisible under ultrasound scanning. For nerve block success, drug must be injected into four fascial compartments, each of which a variant nerve type may pass through in different individuals. 2. ANATOMY The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is a sensory nerve supplying the skin on the lateral aspect of the thigh. That sensory area nearly reaches the thigh posterior midline and the thigh anterior midline. Its superior limit passes over the greater trochanter and its inferior limit nearly reaches the height of the patella. The typical LCNT, in 60% of patients, is a branch of the lumbar plexus deriving from the dorsal divisions of nerve roots L2 and L3. The LFCN forms within the psoas muscle, and exits the pelvis medial to the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and under the inguinal ligament. It then passes over the sartorius muscle, under fascia lata, before branching into its final Figure 1. Classic dermatomal distribution of the divisions. In forty percent of patients the LFCN lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN), derived has completely different anatomy, but from Sobotta. fortunately the nerve always passes in proximity to the proximal sartorius muscle.

  • The Development of an Intramuscular Injection Simulation for Nursing Students
    Open Access Technical Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.12366 The Development of an Intramuscular Injection Simulation for Nursing Students Julia Micallef 1 , Artur Arutiunian 1 , Adam Dubrowski 1 1. Health Sciences, Ontario Tech University, Oshawa, CAN Corresponding author: Adam Dubrowski, [email protected] Abstract Intramuscular (IM) injections are preferred over subcutaneous injections for administering medicine such as epinephrine and vaccines as the muscle tissue contains an increased vascular supply that provides ideal absorption of the drug being administered. However, administering an IM injection requires clinical judgment when choosing the injection site, understanding the relevant anatomy and physiology as well as the principles and techniques for administering an IM injection. Therefore, it is essential to learn and perform IM injections using injection simulators to practice the skill before administering to a real patient. Current IM injection simulators either favor realism at the expense of standardization or are expensive but do not provide a realistic experience. Therefore, it is imperative to develop an inexpensive but realistic intramuscular injection simulator that can be used to train nursing students so that they can be prepared for when they enter the clinical setting. This technical report aims to provide an overview of the development of an inexpensive and realistic deltoid simulator geared to teach nursing students the skill of IM injections. After development, the IM simulators were tested and validated by practicing nurses. An 18-item survey was administered to the nurses, and results indicated positive feedback about the realism of the simulator, in comparison to previous models used, such as the Wallcur® PRACTI-Injecta Pads (Wallcur LLC, San Diego, CA).

  • The Digestive System
    69 chapter four THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is structurally divided into two main parts: a long, winding tube that carries food through its length, and a series of supportive organs outside of the tube. The long tube is called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract extends from the mouth to the anus, and consists of the mouth, or oral cavity, the pharynx, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intes- tine. It is here that the functions of mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption of nutrients and water, and release of solid waste material take place. The supportive organs that lie outside the GI tract are known as accessory organs, and include the teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Because most organs of the digestive system lie within body cavities, you will perform a dissection procedure that exposes the cavities before you begin identifying individual organs. You will also observe the cavities and their associated membranes before proceeding with your study of the digestive system. EXPOSING THE BODY CAVITIES should feel like the wall of a stretched balloon. With your skinned cat on its dorsal side, examine the cutting lines shown in Figure 4.1 and plan 2.

  • Cell Culture in Three-Dimensional Lattices of Hydrated Collagen Fibrils − Its Progress and Perspectives
    N. Saito et al., Int. J. of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics. Vol. 10, No. 1 (2015) 1–9 CELL CULTURE IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL LATTICES OF HYDRATED COLLAGEN FIBRILS − ITS PROGRESS AND PERSPECTIVES N. SAITO1, H. ADACHI2, H. TANAKA2, S. NAKATA2, N. KAWADA1 & K. YOSHIZATO1,3 1Department of Hepatology, Osaka City University, Japan. 2Nippon Menard Cosmetic Co. Ltd., Japan. 3PhoenixBio Co. Ltd., Japan ABSTRACT Cell culture methodology has been utilized as a powerful tool to characterize cells with a presupposition that the cells in culture faithfully reproduce their in vivo phenotypes. However, it is generally recognized that the cells cultured currently by the most commonly utilized two-dimensional (2D) monolayer technology exhibit different phenotypes from those in living tissues. Cultivation of cells in three-dimensional (3D) lattices of collagen fibrils (collagen gel culture) has been thought to overcome the shortages of 2D cell culture such that the cells behave as in vivo by interacting with not only nearby other cells but also by surrounding extracellular matrices. A remarkable outcome of studies on collagen gel culture was a demonstration of contractile nature of the cells. One of the not-fully appreciated issues about the 3D cell culture is the effect of fluid flow through the collagen gels on cells’ phenotypes. In this review, we make a short overview of historical and current studies of the collagen gel culture from a viewpoint of ‘how we can more correctly extract the cell-related phenomena in living tissues/organs by in vitro culture technology, placing an emphasis on the importance of stimuli caused by flow of cell culture medium.’ Keywords: Collagen gel culture, connective tissue modeling, ECM compositions, gel contraction, interstitial fluid flow, tensile strength.
