Background: Prior studies have compared perioperative opioid prescriptions between carpal tunnel release (CTR) performed wide-awake and with traditional anesthetic techniques, but the association of opioid prescriptions with surgical setting has not been fully explored. The current study assessed the association of opioid prescriptions with surgical setting (office or operating room) for wide-awake CTR.
Methods: Patients with open CTR were identified in an administrative claims database (PearlDiver).
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decline in elective surgeries, including reduction mammoplasties, affecting hospital revenue in surgical departments across the U.S.
- During the study, data from 373 patients at Augusta University Medical Center was analyzed comparing surgery volumes and charges from March 2019 to February 2022.
- A significant increase in both the number of procedures and charges was observed post-COVID, although the overall revenue increase did not reach statistical significance.
We demonstrate the feasibility of probing the charged lepton-flavor-violating decay μ^{+}→e^{+}X^{0} for the presence of a slow-moving neutral boson X^{0} capable of undergoing gravitational binding to large structures and, as such, able to participate in some cosmological scenarios. A short exposure to surface antimuons from beam line M20 at TRIUMF generates a branching ratio limit of ≲10^{-5}. This is comparable to or better than previous searches for this channel, although in a thus-far-unexplored region of X^{0} phase space very close to the kinematic limit of the decay, where m_{X^{0}} approaches m_{μ^{+}}.

Methods: A retrospective chart review from 2018 to 2020 was conducted for infants who underwent ear molding treatment at our institution.
