Disappearance of spinal catheter tip due to catheter stretching: a case report.

Background: Continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) offers precise, prolonged neuraxial anesthesia suitable for high-risk patients. This technique minimizes hemodynamic instability but comes with notable challenges. Vigilant catheter management is crucial to avoid complications, including the risk of catheter retention.

Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality associated with mental disorders: a population-based cohort study.

Mental disorders are associated with elevated mortality rates and reduced life expectancy. However, it is unclear whether these associations differ by socioeconomic position (SEP). The aim of this study was to explore comprehensively the role of individual-level SEP in the associations between specific types of mental disorders and mortality (due to all causes, and to natural or external causes), presenting both relative and absolute measures.
