Objectives: Ropivacaine local injection is a preventative management option for post-adenotonsillectomy pain. The effectiveness of this approach varies depending on the time of drug administration. This study is aimed to evaluate pre-emptive effect of administration of Ropivacaine before vs.

: Postoperative agitation is a common complication of sevoflurane anesthesia in children and might lead to self-harm and recovery disruption. This study aimed to compare the prophylactic effect of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil on postoperative agitation after anesthesia with sevoflurane. : In this clinical trial, 60 children aged 2 to 7 years with ASA class І, II, candidates for elective strabismus surgery, were randomly assigned to three groups using block randomization.

Despite growing evidence for the feasibility of primary bowel reconstruction in a peritonitic environment, little data substantiate a surgeons' choice between a stoma and an anastomosis. The aim of this retrospective analysis is to identify pre- and intraoperative parameters that predict the leakage risk for enteric sutures placed during source control surgery (SCS) for secondary peritonitis.

We investigated whether the fluid flows generated by a robotic flapper, while interacting with an underwater wall, can encode the distance information between the wall and the flapper, and how to decode this information using the proprioception within the flapper. Such touchless wall-distance sensing is enabled by the active motion of a flapping plate, which injects self-generated flow to the fluid environment, thus representing a form of active sensing.
