Deep sedation in lateral position for preterm infants during cerebral magnetic resonance imaging: a pilot study.

Introduction: Respiratory adverse events are common during the sedation of preterm babies, often needing active airway support. During magnetic resonance imaging, this occurrence could extend the acquisition time, with a negative impact on the thermic and metabolic homeostasis. The aim of the study is to verify if lying in a lateral position instead of supine could improve the safe quality of sedation, without worsening the quality of imaging.

State of the Art in Pediatric Anesthesia: A Narrative Review about the Use of Preoperative Time.

This review delves into the challenge of pediatric anesthesia, underscoring the necessity for tailored perioperative approaches due to children's distinctive anatomical and physiological characteristics. Because of the vulnerability of pediatric patients to critical incidents during anesthesia, provider skills are of primary importance. Yet, almost equal importance must be granted to the adoption of a careful preanesthetic mindset toward patients and their families that recognizes the interwoven relationship between children and parents.

Autologous fat transfer for face rejuvenation with tumescent technique fat harvesting and saline washing: a report of 215 cases.

Various materials have been used for tissue augmentation and for the treatment of rhytids. Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is considered ideal regarding biocompatibility and patient concerns. This study was performed on a series of 215 female patients for face rejuvenation with tumescent technique fat harvesting and saline washing.

Intra-articular analgesia following arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder.

Shoulder surgery is very often followed by severe postoperative pain. Loco-regional anaesthesia has greatly contributed as a solution of this problem. Nevertheless most of surgery is still performed under general anaesthesia.

Spectrum of methyldopa liver injury.

The administration of alpha methyldopa resulted in serious liver injury to seven patients, requiring hospitalization. All patients presented with symptoms indistinguishable from viral hepatitis. Histological changes ranged from those compatible with acute hepatitis to chronic active hepatitis and subacute hepatic necrosis.
