Modern techniques follow concepts of pre-emptive analgesia (providing analgesia throughout the perioperative period to prevent long-term consequences), multimodal analgesia (balanced combination of analgesics with different modes of action) and perioperative rehabilitation. Newer drugs such as parecoxib, tramadol and enantiomer-specific local anaesthetics have increased the options for perioperative analgesia.

Serum and CSF samples, taken at the time of dural puncture, were assayed by nephelometry. The mean serum b-trace protein concentration was 0.39 mg.l )1 and the mean CSF concentration was 27.9 mg.l )1 , giving a mean ratio of CSF to serum concentration of 76. This ratio is higher than that published for non-pregnant females and for males because of both a higher mean CSF and a lower mean serum b-trace protein concentration. The concentration correlated positively with both serum creatinine and gestational age. If these concentrations are used to estimate the normal range, we propose that the nephelometric measurement of b-trace protein might prove a useful diagnostic test for cerebrospinal fluidcutaneous fistula in parturients.

There is a growing understanding that bereavement and loss represent a very significant event in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities (IDs). To date, there is no systematic review of the literature on the emotional, psychiatric and behavioural responses to bereavement in people with IDs. Method This comprehensive literature review firstly examines the current opinion regarding the phenomenology of pathological grief in the general population. Research examining the ability of people with IDs to understand the concept of death is explored. In addition, a systematic review of the literature looking at the emotional, behavioural and psychiatric responses to bereavement is carried out. Results Bereavement and loss have distinct effects on the mental health, behaviour and emotional lives of people with IDs. Following a bereavement, symptoms of depression and anxiety increase, and general behaviour is altered. Traumatic grief symptoms have not yet been specifically studied and quantified. Conclusions Particular difficulties are associated with researching the effects of bereavement on people with IDs. Further work needs to be done to more accurately describe the nature, time-scale, severity and frequency of the symptoms of traumatic grief in people with IDs , in order to improve assessment and treatment of affected individuals.
