Thief in the Night

Enzo began writing poetry at the age of 18, and he continued writing as he pursued different occupations and careers. The poems are largely drawn from his own experiences and or observations. Enzo rejects the notion of many modern poets who say that ‘good’ poetry shouldn’t rhyme, and although some of his doesn’t rhyme, he insists that a rhyming poem shows that the words are put together in a much more painstaking way. "Prose is words in their best order; Poetry is the best words in their best order."

You were destined to live with people, In a world, a world that is theirs. From Despair. Love is a dream that will never materialise, To Romance. I said "Easy, I love you." From Naturism.

As it is quick, inexpensive, and non-invasive, ultrasound is the modality of choice for guidance of interventional procedures in the soft tissues. Furthermore, the rising mean age of the general population is being accompanied by increasing demand among patients for minimally invasive procedures to treat painful chronic and degenerative syndromes of the musculoskeletal system. This handbook is a clear, practical guide to ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatments of musculoskeletal pain in the upper limb. Each chapter is clearly structured, with brief but comprehensive descriptions of the disease to be treated and of the materials and drugs needed. High-quality images and easy-to-follow schemes explain the best approach in each situation, and practical tips and tricks of value in daily clinical routine are provided.

L’ecografia è utile nella valutazione di patologie articolari in pazienti con malattia reumatica e, oltre che nella diagnosi, è efficace nel monitoraggio con power Doppler della sinovite, con una sensibilità superiore rispetto all’esame clinico. L’ecografia ad alta risoluzione, integrata con la tecnica power Doppler, è anche in grado di individuare le anomalie entesopatiche, l’erosione ossea e il coinvolgimento del tendine. L’obiettivo dell’opera è di presentare la tecnica d’esame, i progressi ecografici nella patologia reumatica muscoloscheletrica e il ruolo diagnostico della ecografia nella patologia reumatica articolare. L’iconografia è arricchita con immagini integrate di ecografia, radiologia convenzionale, TC e RM.

This book offers a comprehensive but straightforward, practical handbook on ultrasound (US)-guided nerve blocks. It presents the normal US anatomy of peripheral nerves, clinical aspects of nerve entrapment and different procedures / techniques for each block. Axial or peripheral chronic radicular pain can be particularly severe and debilitating for the patient. The aim of treatment is to provide medium-/ long-term pain relief, and consequently to restore function. The therapeutic nerve block, performed with a perineural injection of anaesthetic, steroid or painkiller, is generally used once conservative treatments have proven unsuccessful and is aimed to avoid surgical options. Ultrasound guidance, offering the direct and real-time visualization of the needle and adjacent relevant anatomic structures, significantly increases the accuracy and safety of nerve blocks reducing the risk of intraneural or intravascular injection and the potential damage to the surrounding structures, but also enhances the efficacy of the block itself, reducing its onset and drug doses. This practical volume addresses the needs of physicians dealing with pain management, e.g. anaesthesiologists, radiologists, orthopaedists and physiatrists, with various levels of experience, ranging from physicians in training to those who already perform peripheral nerve blocks with traditional techniques and who want to familiarize with US guided procedures.
