Nerve Blocks in Palliative Care

Nerve Blocks in Palliative CareThis book is a succinct, practical, clinically-based guide to nerve blocking techniques that are available in current practice. A nerve block is the injection of either a local anesthetic or a drug that inactivates nerves to control otherwise uncontrollable pain. Nerve blocks can be used to determine the source of pain, to treat painful conditions that respond to nerve blocks, to predict how the pain will respond to long-term treatments, and to prevent pain following procedures.

Binary
is a techno-thriller novel written by Michael Crichton in 1972. The novel was originally published under the pen-name John Lange.

The villain is a middle-class small businessman who decides to assassinate the President of the United States. He spends his life savings to carry out the theft of an army shipment of the two precursor chemicals that form a deadly nerve agent.

The nerve agent VX was intended to be detonated in Downtown San Diego, corresponding with the arrival of the President to attend a Republican party conference taking place there.

The Nerve Agent was contained inside two alacran (a combustible plastic) tanks, and plastic explosive was placed in between, so that when the explosion occurred, the two binary gases would form VX.
