Several local regional anesthesia regimes have been described in the literature to reduce post-surgical pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but it is unclear which regime has the best analgetic effect combined with the best motor function. The aim of this study was to determine if patients with infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) combined with an adductor canal block (SACB) had less pain, better motor function, and less opioid consumption after TKA than patients with a femoral nerve block (FNB) combined with a popliteal sciatic nerve block (PSB). In a retrospective cohort analysis, 342 patients following primary TKA were examined; 175 patients were treated with an IPACK combined with a SACB, and 167 patients with a femoral FNB combined with a PSB.

Marine fisheries are increasingly impacted by climate change, affecting species distribution and productivity, and necessitating urgent adaptation efforts. Climate vulnerability assessments (CVA), integrating expert knowledge, are vital for identifying species that could thrive or suffer under changing environmental conditions. This study presents a first CVA for the Western Baltic Sea's fish community, a crucial fishing area for Denmark and Germany.

Aims: Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) fellowship can be pursued after completion of either a urology (URO) or obstetrics and gynecology (GYN) residency. Our aim is to determine differences in graduating fellow cohort (GFC) case logs between URO- and GYN-based URPS programs.

Methods: Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education case logs for URPS GFCs in both GYN- and URO-based programs were analyzed for the 2019-2023 academic years (AY).
