Background: Despite known disparities in pediatric perioperative outcomes, few studies have examined factors associated with the use of regional anesthesia for pediatric orthopedic surgery.
Aims: This investigation aimed to determine if minority and developmental disability status were associated with the allocation of peripheral nerve blocks in calcaneal osteotomy.
Methods: We conducted a single-center, retrospective study of records of patients <18 years who underwent calcaneal osteotomy from 2013 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Neurodivergent individuals have unique communication, behavior, and cognitive traits that can affect their experiences in healthcare, especially during surgery.
- Anesthesiologists can play a crucial role in providing custom and empathetic care to these patients throughout the surgical process.
- The document emphasizes the need for specific communication techniques and supportive strategies to better accommodate the unique needs of neurodivergent patients during their care.*
Article Synopsis
- * A review of 486 patient charts over nine years showed a significant increase in compliance with the TXA dosing protocol after its implementation, particularly among those with idiopathic conditions.
- * While idiopathic patients saw reductions in both cell saver and packed red blood cell transfusions, neuromuscular patients had compliance improvements but did not show a significant decrease in transfusion needs.
No study has comprehensively examined associated factors (adverse health outcomes, health behaviors, and demographics) affecting cognitive function in long-term testicular cancer survivors (TC survivors). TC survivors given cisplatin-based chemotherapy completed comprehensive, validated surveys, including those that assessed cognition. Medical record abstraction provided cancer and treatment history.

Evidence is lacking regarding cisplatin-related hearing loss (CRHL) in adult-onset cancer survivors with comprehensive audiologic assessments (eg, Words-in-Noise [WIN] tests, full-spectrum audiometry, and additional otologic measures), as well as the progression of CRHL considering comorbidities, modifiable factors associated with risk, and cumulative cisplatin dose.
Objective: To assess CRHL with comprehensive audiologic assessments, including the WIN, evaluate the longitudinal progression of CRHL, and identify factors associated with risk.
