Background: The demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing, yet postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) significantly hinder patient recovery. Preoperative prophylactic administration of glucocorticoids can alleviate PONV, with betamethasone showing promising results in breast and cardiac surgeries. However, its efficacy in TKA patients remains unclear.

Previous studies have reported that GRb1 had anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. The current study aimed to evaluate the antinociceptive effects of GRb1 in a rat model of cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) established by intratibial injection of Walker 256 cells.

- The study investigates the impact of vitamin D receptor (VDR) genetic variants on susceptibility to neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- A total of sixteen eligible studies were analyzed, revealing significant correlations between specific VDR variants and PD, as well as other variants related to AD, with the findings notably influenced by ethnicity, particularly among Asians.
- The authors conclude that certain VDR variants could potentially be used as genetic biomarkers for PD and AD, highlighting the need for further research in diverse populations.
