Testing the Spillover Effect of Intimate Partner Violence Victimization on Emotionally Abusive and Harsh Parenting Practices: The Application of Propensity Score Matching.

Prior research reported a significant association between intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and negative parenting, but there was an overreliance on U.S. samples and families from low socioeconomic status backgrounds.

Erector Spinae Plane Block Decreases Chronic Postoperative Pain Severity in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Up to 56% of patients develop chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). CPSP can affect patients’ moods and decrease daily activities. The primary aim of this study was to investigate CPSP severity in patients following off-pump (OP) CABG using the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI).

Development and validation of a stress response measure: the Daily Stress Response Scale (DSRS).

Background: To date, there is a lack of measures for capturing a broad spectrum of psychophysiological stress reactions that can be administered on a daily basis and in different contexts. A need for such a measure is especially salient in settings where stress processes can unfold momentarily and substantially fluctuate daily. Therefore, the main aim of the current study was to develop and validate the Daily Stress Response Scale (DSRS), an instrument capturing a broad spectrum of psychophysiological stress reactions that can be administered in real time and in different contexts.

Quadratus Lumborum and Transversus Abdominis Plane Blocks and Their Impact on Acute and Chronic Pain in Patients after Cesarean Section: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: Severe postoperative pain is a significant problem after cesarean sections.

Methods: This study was a randomized, controlled trial of 105 patients conducted in two hospitals. All patients were anesthetized spinally for elective cesarean section.

Remifentanil preconditioning protects against hypoxia-induced senescence and necroptosis in human cardiac myocytes .

Remifentanil and other opioids are suggested to be protective against ischemia-reperfusion injury in animal models and coronary artery bypass surgery patients, however the molecular basis of such protection is far from being understood. In the present study, we have used a model of human cardiomyocytes treated with the hypoxia-mimetic agent cobalt chloride to investigate remifentanil preconditioning-based adaptive responses and underlying mechanisms. Hypoxic conditions promoted oxidative and nitrosative stress, p21-mediated cellular senescence and the activation of necroptotic pathway that was accompanied by a 2.

Remifentanil and sevoflurane based anesthesia combined with bilateral erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Introduction: Working on the institutional Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS Cardio) protocol for off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OP-CABG) we have noticed that patients treated according to the modified anesthesia protocol had not only significantly shorter time of respiratory support and intensive care unit stay but also lower postoperative troponin T concentration than patients who had standard fentanyl/sevoflurane-based anesthesia.

Aim: To compare the perioperative course of patients undergoing OP-CABG surgery and receiving standard fentanyl/sevoflurane anesthesia and those anesthetized according to the institutional ERAS Cardio protocol with remifentanil, sevoflurane, and bilateral extensor spinae plane (ESP) block.

Material And Methods: Design: a prospective, open-label, observational study performed in a tertiary health center.

Erector spinae-plane block as an analgesic alternative in patients undergoing mitral and/or tricuspid valve repair through a right mini-thoracotomy - an observational cohort study.

Introduction: One of the main challenges in cardiac surgery is effective postoperative analgesia. Erector spinae-plane block (ESP block) is a novel regional technique, introduced by Forero in 2016 for neuropathic chest pain, then used successfully for mastectomy.

Aim: To establish the efficacy of the ESP block in patients undergoing mitral and/or tricuspid valve repair through a right mini-thoracotomy.

Implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A prospective cohort feasibility study.

Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is the most commonly performed cardiac surgery procedure. Although some complications related to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit are avoided during off-pump CABG (OP-CABG) procedures, prolonged mechanical ventilation and severe postoperative pain are still important issues.

Methods: This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the impact of the institutional Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol in patients undergoing OP-CABG.

Prognostic Factors for Nonasphyxia-Related Cardiac Arrest Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Rewarming - HELP Registry Study.

Objective: Extracorporeal rewarming is the treatment of choice for patients who had hypothermic cardiac arrest, allowing for best neurologic outcome. The authors' goal was to identify factors associated with survival in nonasphyxia-related hypothermic cardiac arrest patients undergoing extracorporeal rewarming.

Design: All 38 cardiac surgery departments in Poland were encouraged to report consecutive hypothermic cardiac arrest patients treated with extracorporeal life support.
