Article Synopsis
- A 17-year study evaluated the clinical outcomes of 152 patients who underwent eyelid surgery for malignancies, primarily focusing on tumor type and surgical methods used.
- The most common tumor was basal cell carcinoma, and while complications were rare, some required further surgeries.
- Key findings showed that lymph node involvement and positive intraoperative margins significantly increased the risk of tumor recurrence, indicating the need for careful surgical planning.
Post-operative pain management is essential for optimizing recovery, patient comfort, and satisfaction. Peripheral nerve blockade, or lumbar plexus block (LPB), has been widely used for analgesia and regional anesthesia. This study explored the existing literature to determine the efficacy of continuous lumbar plexus blockade in managing post-operative pain following hip or femur surgery.

The regulation of immune function in sepsis is complex and varies over time. However, activating Beta-2 receptors and blocking Beta-1 receptors reduces the proinflammatory response by influencing cytokine production.
