This study aimed to determine the impact of intraoperative methadone administration compared to conventional short-acting opioids on pain-related perioperative outcomes in women undergoing a mastectomy.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures in Latin America with those in the US and Europe, focusing on indications, demographics, adverse events, technology, and patient outcomes based on data from the Medtronic Product Surveillance Registry as of July 2021.
- In total, 2,912 patients were part of the registry, with notable findings that Parkinson's disease was the most common indication for DBS, while dystonia was second in Latin America, and patients in Latin America were generally 10 years younger at the time of surgery.
- The study revealed significant differences in device use, such as a higher prevalence of rechargeable batteries in Latin America (72.37% vs

Posterior hypothalamic-deep brain stimulation (pHyp-DBS) has been reported as a successful treatment for reducing refractory aggressive behaviors in patients with distinct primary diagnoses. Here, we report on a patient with cri du chat syndrome presenting severe self-injury and aggressive behaviors toward others, who was treated with pHyp-DBS. Positive results were observed at long-term follow-up in aggressive behavior and quality of life.
