Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of systemically given krill oil (KO) on the development of new bone formation in the sutura palatina media following rapid maxillary expansion (RME).
Methods: 28 4-5 week-old male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Control (C), Only Expansion (OE) (no supplement but undergoing expansion and retention), KE (supplemented during both the expansion and retention phases), Krill Oil Nursery Group (KN) (supplemented during the 40-day nursery phase as well as during the expansion and retention phases). A 5-day RME was followed by a 12-day retention period.
Background: This study aims to compare the effects of 8 mmHg and 12 mmHg pneumoperitoneum (PNP) pressures on operative, postoperative, and anesthesiological parameters in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Methods: In this prospective study, 43 patients undergoing RARP performed by a single experienced surgeon were randomly assigned to either the low-pressure group (8 mmHg - Group I) or the standard-pressure group (12 mmHg - Group II). We evaluated the operative and postoperative parameters from both urological and anesthesiological perspectives.
Article Synopsis
- Scapulothoracic arthrodesis (STA) surgery is aimed at stabilizing the scapula for patients with facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), but postoperative pain can still occur despite using an erector spinae plane block (ESPB).
- A preoperative ESPB and an intraoperative ESPB catheter were employed, but patients still required rescue analgesia for pain in the periscapular region after surgery.
- To improve pain management, ultrasound-guided blocks targeting the dorsal scapular nerve (DSN) and long thoracic nerve (LTN) were successfully used, showing that selective nerve blocks can enhance pain relief post-STA surgery.
Multiple Thoracic Wall Blocks for Awake Breast Surgery: A Case Report.
Turk J Anaesthesiol Reanim
December 2023
Awake breast surgeries under nerve blocks have been a challenge for anaesthesiologists, and different block combinations have been used for surgery under sedation. Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) was thought to be sufficient alone for surgical anaesthesia of the breast. We performed a combination of TPVB, pectoralis nerve I block, and serratus anterior plane block for awake breast surgery in an elderly patient with serious comorbidities.
