Journal of Clinical Anesthesia RSS feed: Articles in Press. The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained. The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice. JCA is affiliated with four societies that make it their official journal: Society for Education in Anesthesia ( SEA ); the American Association of Clinical Directors ( AACD ); the Society for Airway Management (SAM); and the Orthopedic Anesthesia Pain Rehabilitation Society ( OAPRS ).

Mechanical allodynia was also present. The patient's wrenching pain disappeared immediately after stitch removal, but the dull pain and mechanical allodynia persisted, gradually decreasing to zero in 7 days.Clinical course of pain in a patient with neuropathic pain induced by ligation of an intercostal nerve - Uncorrected ProofJitsu Kato, Dai Gokan, Noriya Hirose, Miyako Baba, Toru Ehara, Setsuro Ogawa10.1016/j.jclinane.2009.01.009Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (2009)2009-10-26Journal of Clinical Anesthesia2009-10-26http://www.jcafulltextonline.com/article/PIIS095281800900258X/abstract?rss=yesAbstract: Well into the twentieth century, nitrous oxide was often suspected to support life in the manner of oxygen. Authorities contributing to that life-threatening misimpression include Humphry Davy, Gardner Q. Colton, and George W. Crile. Concomitantly, deprivation of oxygen was long touted as a requisite for nitrous anesthesia.Early misconceptions about nitrous oxide, an “invigorating” asphyxiant - Uncorrected ProofTheodore A.
