Objective: To study the value of high-quality care in operating room during operation of patients with rectal cancer and the effect of this nursing model on postoperative rehabilitation.
Methods: This study recruited 72 patients with rectal cancer, including 36 in the control group and 36 in the observation group. Patients in the control group received routine care, and those in the observation group received high-quality care in operating room.
Background: There is a long latent period for the sciatic nerve block before a satisfactory block is attained. Changes in the temperature of local anesthetics may influence the characters of the peripheral nerve block. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of warming ropivacaine on the ultrasound-guided subgluteal sciatic nerve block.

Hemostatic disturbances after cardiac surgery can lead to excessive postoperative bleeding. Thromboelastography (TEG) was employed to evaluate perioperative coagulative alterations in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), investigating the correlation between factors concomitant with cardiac surgery and modifications in coagulation. Coagulation index as determined by TEG correlated significantly with postoperative bleeding at 24-72 h after cardiac surgery ( < .

Objective: To explore the association of early postoperative nadir hemoglobin with risk of a composite outcome of anemia-related and other adverse events.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from spinal tumor patients who received intraoperative blood transfusion between September 1, 2013 and December 31, 2020.
Background: Observational studies have suggested an association between obesity and iron deficiency anemia, but such studies are susceptible to reverse causation and residual confounding. Here we used Mendelian randomization to assess whether the association might be causal.
Methods: Data on single-nucleotide polymorphisms that might be associated with various anthropometric indicators of obesity were extracted as instrumental variables from genome-wide association studies in the UK Biobank.
