Background: Although propofol generally reduces blood pressure, rarely, it causes hypertension. However, the mechanism by which propofol increases blood pressure has not been established, and so far, there are only a few reported cases.
Case Summary: A 46-year-old woman, diagnosed with thyroid cancer, was administered general anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil for a thyroid lobectomy.
Lingual nerve injury rarely occurs after using the laryngeal mask airway (LMA). A 40-year-old woman with no comorbidities visited the hospital for left breast-conserving surgery. Anesthesia was performed using LMA Supreme™.

Methods: This randomized study enrolled 130 patients who received NAC for breast cancer and 122 patients who received SLN biopsy (SLNB) using either DM (n = 58) or RI only (n = 64). The study compared the identification rate, number of SLNs, and detection time of SLNB.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a combined statistical model using both clinicopathological factors and texture parameters from F-FDG PET/CT to predict responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: A total of 435 patients with breast cancer were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical and pathological data were obtained from electronic medical records.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the identification rate and surgery time of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) by a multimodal method (MMM) using a mixture of indocyanine green (ICG), radioisotope (RI), and blue dye (BD) compared with the RI alone.
Methods: In this phase II randomized study, 86 patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer were enrolled and received SLNB with either MMM or RI. We compared the identification rate, number of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), and detection time of SLNB and evaluated the safety.
Article Synopsis
- Neuroinflammation is crucial for many neurological diseases, and this study investigates how lidocaine, an anesthetic with anti-inflammatory properties, can protect microglial cells from inflammation-induced damage.
- Experimental results showed that lidocaine significantly reduced cell injury and cytokine production in microglial cultures exposed to inflammatory stimuli, even when applied after the onset of inflammation.
- The study concludes that lidocaine can delay treatment effectively to safeguard microglial cells, potentially through mechanisms on the cell surface, and suggests further exploration of similar compounds like QX314 for their protective effects.
