The Comparison of Two Different Volumes of 0.5% Ropivacaine in Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block Onset and Duration of Analgesia for Upper Limb Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: The study is based on the fact that a lower volume of local anesthetic drugs for ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block is useful for upper limb surgeries lasting for a shorter duration, and result in a lower incidence of complications.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 35 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine with 20 mL of 0.

Anesthesia Management in an Adult Patient with Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Difficult Intubation: A Case Report.

Obstructive sleep apnea may be associated with numerous comorbidities and perioperative complications. Poor laryngeal anatomy visualization can be a cause of failed tracheal intubation after multiple attempts in patients with sleep-disordered breathing due to the underlying adenoid enlargement. We present a case of difficult endotracheal intubation in a 52-year-old menopausal female patient posted for tonsillectomy with adenoid resection with a history of snoring and difficulty in breathing while asleep.

Vitamin D Supplementation Decreases TGF-β1 Bioavailability in PCOS: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Context: There is an abnormal increase in TGF-β1 bioavailability in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which might play a role in the pathophysiology of this syndrome. Vitamin D (VD) supplementation improves various clinical manifestations of PCOS and decreases TGF-β1 levels in several diseases including myelofibrosis.

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the effect of VD supplementation on TGF-β1 bioavailability in VD-deficient women with PCOS and assess whether changes in TGF-β1/soluble endoglin (sENG) levels correlate with an improvement in PCOS clinical manifestations.
