Jul 28, 2023

Bellevue, United States - July 28, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Following the recent update, Interventional Orthopedics of Washington offers long Covid patients a minimally invasive procedure known as Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) to treat their symptoms, including fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, and loss of taste and smell, among others. It may also be effective for other conditions like dysautonomia, POTS, migraines, PTSD, and anxiety disorders.

The announcement coincides with clinical trials published by the US National Library of Medicine that show positive case studies and clinical results for patients who undergo SGB for various medical conditions. By offering this treatment to their patients, Interventional Orthopedics of Washington helps them reduce or eliminate their symptoms without taking more medication.

Dr. Otono Silva, the lead doctor for SGB procedures at the treatment center, uses ultrasound technology to visualize the nerve system and deliver a local anesthetic to the targeted nerve. This action disrupts cervical sympathetic chain activity, effectively rebooting the autonomic nervous system. Precision in guiding the needle is ensured by the ultrasound, which allows for accurate treatment of the stellate ganglion, a nerve group in the neck.

SGB treatment is an outpatient procedure that takes less than 10 minutes to complete, followed by a short recovery period in the clinic. Patients can return home the same day, though they are required to have someone drive them home as the procedure may cause some temporary side effects like drowsiness or Horner’s Syndrome.

“The SGB is used to temporarily turn off the fight or flight sympathetic system using an anesthetic. As the numbing medicine wears off over the course of a few hours, the sympathetic system is then able to turn back on, which can result in a new state that is more in harmony with the greater autonomic system. You can think of this as turning off your computer and restarting it if a program is glitchy. By temporarily numbing or 'blocking' the traffic in the cervical sympathetic chain, it is believed that the parts of the brain that control the fight or flight response are allowed to reset, resulting in relief of symptoms,” a representative said.

Malaysians choose family over shopping or holidays, domestic travel data shows

Malaysians delight in visiting family and friends, so much so that these visits made up 44 per cent of domestic travel.

The 44 per cent recorded is even higher than last year’s trend in domestic tourism where “visiting relatives and friends remained the primary purpose of...

Dario Amodei’s American AI imperialism

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei seems to believe that he, the American artificial intelligence (AI) industry and the United States are the only ones who should have the right to determine the fate of humanity. While he pays lip service to involving other democracies in AI development, which ones remotely approach the technological capacities of the US and China? Do other non-democratic developing countries not count? His self-belief is far more dangerous than mere commercial greed. Like Peter Thiel,...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday ⁠he believed Russia ⁠may have shared jet-drone technology ⁠with its long-standing ally North Korea. In recent weeks, Russia has sharply increased its use of jet-drones against Ukraine, which so far has no effective means of countering them other than using ‌combat aircraft. Earlier in the war, North Korea supplied Russia with millions of artillery shells and it has since provided ballistic missiles that Moscow regularly uses to attack...

For American and Chinese people interested in the outcome of the latest summit between China’s President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump, their conclusions could not be more different if they turn to the media and pundits for guidance.
