COMPLETE ANDROGEN INSENSITIVITY SYNDROME: DILEMMAS FOR FURTHER MANAGEMENT AFTER GONADECTOMY


Effects of single injection of local anesthetic agents on intervertebral disc degeneration: ex vivo and long-term in vivo experimental study.

Analgesic discography (discoblock) can be used to diagnose or treat discogenic low back pain by injecting a small amount of local anesthetics.However, recent in vitro studies have revealed cytotoxic effects of local anesthetics on intervertebral disc (IVD) cells.Here we aimed to investigate the deteriorative effects of lidocaine and bupivacaine on
