Abstract
Glyphosate herbicide treatment is essential to sustainable Eucalyptus plantation management in Brazil. Eucalyptus is highly sensitive to glyphosate, and Suzano/FuturaGene has genetically modified eucalyptus to tolerate glyphosate, with the aim of both protecting eucalyptus trees from glyphosate application damage and improving weed management. This study presents the biosafety results of the glyphosate-tolerant eucalyptus event 751K032, which expresses the selection marker neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) enzyme and CP4-EPSPS, a glyphosate-tolerant variant of plant 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme. The transgenic genetically modified (GM) event 751K032 behaved in the plantations like conventional non-transgenic eucalyptus clone, FGN-K, and had no effects on arthropods and soil microorganisms. The engineered NPTII and CP4 EPSPS proteins were heat-labile, readily digestible, and according to the bioinformatics analyses, unlikely to cause an allergenic or toxic reaction in humans or animals. This assessment of the biosafety of the glyphosate-tolerant eucalyptus event 751K032 concludes that it is safe to be used for wood production.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The development of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) combined with the typical patient comorbidities creates new challenges for anaesthesia. CLINICAL CASE A young male, ASA II, was proposed for S-ICD placement, after recovery from a sudden CRP episode. We performed regional anaesthesia with a serratus plane block (SPB) and transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTPB) with administration of Mepivacaine and Ropivacaine. S-ICD placement was achieved under regional anaesthesia. In the perioperative period, the patient remained hemodynamically stable, without any complications or pain. DISCUSSION The implantation of the ICD occurs in fragile patients, with high anaesthetic risk. In this case, the association of SPB and TTPB was an effective anaesthetic/analgesic approach, has advantages when compared with other techniques and has potential use in other procedures.

Abstract
We report the successful clinical case of a patient scheduled for lumbar spine surgery in which we performed a bilateral single-shot erector spinae plane block as part of a multimodal analgesic strategy for pain control. Performing the block preoperatively dismissed the need for extra intraoperative opioids other than those for intubation, and enabled the use of paracetamol for analgesia only. Further, there was no need for hypotensive techniques, as the block provided satisfactory sympathetic blockade and regional vasodilation with a clear surgical field. Postoperatively, the patient had minor opioid consumption and was able to freely move without any motor impairment or pain from early on in the Post Anaesthesia Care Unit. The use of single-shot erector spinae plane block at the lumbar level for lumbar spine surgery analgesia emphasises its wide application and analgesic efficacy.
