Analgesia in the Emergency Department for Lower Leg and Knee Injuries: A Case Report by Michael Shalaby, Yonhoon Lee, Joseph McShannic, Michael Rosselli

“…The patient did not attain analgesia with intravenous medications but did get complete anesthesia of his lower leg with a combination saphenous and popliteal sciatic nerve block. Conclusion: Emergency physicians possess the skill set required to effectively perform a saphenous and popliteal sciatic nerve block and should consider adding this procedure to their armamentarium of pain management techniques in treating injuries distal to the knee.…”

Is subsurface geophysics as seismic and acoustic investigations a rescue to groundwater flow inversion? by Delay, Frederick, Mari, Jean-Luc, Porel, Gilles, Chabaux, François, Ackerer, Philippe

“…Processing the 3-D data, in association with wave velocity calibration from vertical seismic profiles (VSP) recorded via geophones in wells, renders a 3-D velocity block. The velocity block is then converted into pseudo-porosity values revealing three high-porosity, presumably water-productive, layers, at depths of 35–40, 85–87, and 110–115 m.In addition, full wave acoustic logging (FWAL) can detect, close to wells, porous or open bodies that are too small for being captured by the spatial resolution of 3-D seismic images. …”
