			<description><![CDATA[ A 22-year-old female suffering from idiopathic long-QT syndrome complicated by frequent syncope, torsade-de-pointes-type ventricular tachycardia, and asthma,
was successfully treated by video-assisted extensive left second and third thoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy, instead of left stellate and first thoracic
ganglio-nectomy, to avoid postoperative Horner&#39;s syndrome. The QT interval was significantly shortened from 0.6 to 0.43 seconds four days after the
surgery. It remained at 0.43... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <font color="#7D643C">When a nerve is cut, the piece of nerve that is beyond the cut point eventually dies, however, its Schwann cells, the cells that encircle
the nerve fibers remain for a much longer time. These Schwann cells secrete a chemical messenger known as nerve growth factor that tells the cut end of nerve
where to grow back. So the cut end of nerve will send out multiple sprouts in the direction of the nerve growth factor, however, these sprouts do not go out in
an orderly manner,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Even epidural blockade limited only to the thoracic dermatomes is liable to cause complete sympathectomy, including cardiac sympathetic denervation. The
ensuing vasodilation and bradycardia lead to hypotension, poor tolerance of mechanical interference with the heart, and inability to respond to acute changes
in intravascular volume or body position. This symptom complex is especially troublesome to manage during intrathoracic operations when avoidance of
hypervolemia is emphasized.
