Abstract
OBJECTIVE Interfascial blocks of the thoracic wall are being developed as an alternative to central blocks in breast surgery. However, there are few studies that have evaluated the anatomical extension of the local anaesthetic. The objective of this study was to analyse, using fluoroscopy, the spreading of two volumes (10 vs. 20ml) of radiological contrast in the serratus-intercostal plane block in an experimental pig model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten Large-White breed pigs were selected to have a bilateral ultrasound serratus-intercostal plane block performed, with the administering of 10ml and 20ml of iopamidol in the right and left hemithorax, respectively. The spreading of contrast was analysed by fluoroscopy. The Spearman test correlation was used to evaluate the relationship between the administered volume and radiological spreading. A value of P<.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Twenty anaesthetic blocks were performed, being able to analyse 18 of them. The administration of 10ml of contrast was associated with a mean spreading of 2.28±0.31 (95% CI; 2.01-2.54) intercostal spaces, while the administration of 20ml showed a spreading of 3±0.25 (95% CI; 2.81-3.18) intercostal spaces. There was a significant correlation between the injected volume and the spreading of the contrast (Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.81; P=.0001). CONCLUSION The results showed a spreading of volume subject to the serratus-intercostal plane block, although not maintaining a 1:1 ratio. Doubling the volume increased the blocked segments by 31%. These findings, if corroborated in the clinical practice, would allow a more precise adjustment in the anaesthetic volume administered.

Analysis of the temporal regression of the QRS widening induced by bupivacaine after Intralipid administration. Study in an experimental porcine model. Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim 2016; 63:13-21.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The principal mechanism of cardiac toxicity of bupivacaine relates to the blockade of myocardial sodium channels, which leads to an increase in the QRS duration. Recently, experimental studies suggest that lipid emulsion is effective in reversing bupivacaine cardiac toxicity. We aimed to evaluate the temporal evolution of the QRS widening induced by bupivacaine with the administration of Intralipid. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve pigs were anesthetized with intravenous sodium thiopental 5mg kg(-1) and sevoflurane 1 MAC (2.6%). Femoral artery and vein were canalized for invasive monitoring, analysis of blood gases and determination of bupivacaine levels. After instrumentation and monitoring, a bupivacaine bolus of 4-6 mg kg(-1) was administered in order to induce a 150% increase in QRS duration (defined as the toxic point). The pigs were randomized into two groups of six individuals. Intralipid group (IL) received 1.5 mL kg(-1)of IL over one minute, followed by an infusion of 0.25 mL kg min(-1). Control group (C) received the same volume of a saline solution. The electrocardiographic parameters were recorded, and blood samples were taken after bupivacaine and 1, 5, 10 and 30 minutes after Intralipid/saline administration. RESULTS Bupivacaine (4.33±0.81 mg/kg in IL group and 4.66±1.15 mg/kg in C group) induced similar electrocardiographic changes in both groups; mean maximal percent increase in QRS interval was 184±62% in IL group, and 230±56% in control group (NS). Lipid administration reversed the QRS widening previously impaired by bupivacaine. After ten minutes of the administration of IL, the mean QRS interval decreased to 132±56% vs. 15±76% relative to the maximum widening induced by bupivacaine, in IL and C group, respectively. CONCLUSION Intralipid reversed the lengthening of QRS interval induced by the injection of bupivacaine. Time to normalization of electrocardiographic parameters can last more than 10 minutes. While the phenomena of cardiac toxicity persist, resuscitation measures and adequate monitoring should be continued until adequate heart conduction parameters are restored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia and its treatment with silodosin, on quality of life (QoL) and sexual function, depending on age, severity of symptoms, time on treatment and prostate size. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in 305 urology practices all around Spain. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected and patients filled the following questionnaires: EQ-5D, Sexual Function Index (SFI) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Multiple regression models were used to determine factors independently associated with patients' QoL. RESULTS A total of 1,019 patients were enrolled, mean (SD) for: age 62.7 (5.7), EQ-5D 89.9 (13.9), sexual drive-SFI 3.71 (1.67), erection-SFI 6.11 (3.08), ejaculation-SFI 4.50 (2.06) problems-SFI 6.85 (3.37) and overall satisfaction-SFI 2.00 (0.99). The EQ-5D and SFI score were statistically lower with: older age, severe LUTS and greater prostate size (P<.01), but no differences were found related to time on treatment with silodosin. The EQ-5D score was positively associated with sexual satisfaction and desire size of SFI and the EQ-5D VAS score, and negatively with disability, semi-urban residence and comorbidities in the multiple regression analyses. CONCLUSIONS Severe LUTS and older age are associated to a greater deterioration in sexual function and quality of life. However time on treatment with silodosin does not produce deterioration in the quality of life.

Abstract
Barrett's esophagus, the management of which remains controversial, is the precursor condition to esophageal adenocarcinoma. A number of endoscopic treatments have been designed as an alternative to surgical resection for patients with high-grade dysplasia. One of these, photodynamic therapy, involves the light activation of a photosensitizer that causes local tissue destruction via oxidation reactions. The present work reviews the effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness of this treatment. A systematic review of the literature recorded in the Medline, Embase, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane Database, and the National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database was undertaken. Articles reporting randomized clinical trials of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of Barrett's esophagus, and economic assessments of the procedure, were selected. The quality of the articles was checked. Twelve articles were included in this review: eight randomized, controlled clinical trials and four economic assessments. The clinical trials suffered from methodological limitations, but the economic assessments were considered to be good quality. Photodynamic therapy is effective for the ablation of dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus, although the frequency of adverse events is quite high. The procedure is presented as a cost-effective alternative to intense endoscopic monitoring and esophagectomy. However, the evidence regarding its effectiveness in reducing the number of patients who go on to develop cancer is only incipient. Rigorous, controlled studies with longer follow-up times, in which photodynamic therapy is compared with surgical resection and other endoscopic techniques, are needed.
