Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
There are five areas of interest to the regional anesthesiologist and acute pain physician concerning where the sciatic nerve can be approached. These include the parasacral, the transgluteal, the subgluteal, the mid-femoral, and the popliteal areas. These areas and the relationships of the sciatic nerve to other structures in those specific areas, as well as the areas of sensory distributions of the sciatic nerve and its branches are discussed in this chapter. Other nerves, not part of the sciatic nerve but originating from the sacral plexus, such as the posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh and the pudendal nerve, are also discussed in this chapter.
