Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare pain control and opioid usage within 48 hours after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) using two anesthetic options: liposomal interscalene bupivacaine (LIB) and nonliposomal interscalene bupivacaine (NLIB).
- Researchers analyzed data from 489 patients who underwent TSA between 2016 and 2020, measuring pain levels and opioid consumption, with a focus on postoperative pain and opioid use as primary outcomes.
- Results indicated no significant differences in pain scores at most time points or in opioid consumption between the two groups, though the LIB group showed better pain scores at 24 and 36 hours postoperation, and a higher percentage
Background: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) continue to be a complication that plagues arthroplasty. Albumin is a surrogate marker for nutrition as well as chronic inflammation, and hypoalbuminemia increases the risk of complications in arthroplasty. Patients with PJI are at increased risk for malnutrition and complications.

These behaviors can be reduced to an axis of valence, whereby specific odors evoke approach or avoidance responses. The posterolateral cortical amygdala (plCoA) mediates innate attraction and aversion to odor.

For reporting against SDGs, global indicators are necessarily limited and exclude many safety aspects from a public health perspective.

Using faith centres may offer a promising route for promoting higher vaccine uptake from certain minority ethnic groups known to be more likely to be vaccine hesitant.
Methods: This cross-sectional study explored attendees' perceptions, experiences of being offered, and receiving COVID-19 vaccination in a local mosque in Woking, Surrey, UK.
