Chemical Activation of the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Reversibly Reduces Tendon Stem Cell Proliferation, Inhibits Their Differentiation, and Maintains Cell Undifferentiation by Alessandra Menon, Pasquale Creo, Marco Piccoli, Sonia Bergante, Erika Conforti, Giuseppe Banfi, Pietro Randelli, Luigi Anastasia

“…Herein, we report that a chemical activation of HIF in human tendon stem cells reduces their proliferation and inhibits their differentiation in a reversible and dose-dependent manner. These results support the notion that hypoxia, by activating HIF, plays a crucial role in preserving stem cells in an undifferentiated state in the “hypoxic niches” present in the tissue in which they reside before migrating in more oxygenated areas to heal a damaged tissue.…”

Unexpected High Sensory Blockade during Continuous Spinal Anesthesiology (CSA) in an Elderly Patient by R. Ketelaars, A. P. Wolff

“…The continuous spinal anesthesia technique can be used in selected cases to be able to administer local anesthetic agents in a slow and controlled manner to reach the desired effect. The risk of post-dural-puncture headache using this technique in elderly patients is very low and therefore precludes the need to try to prevent it. …”
