Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the relationship between sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) and the dosage/timing of opioid substitution treatments (OST) in patients using methadone or buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.
- It included a retrospective analysis of adult patients who received these treatments over several years, assessing their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) alongside treatment data.
- The findings indicated that higher doses of methadone, particularly taken in the evening, were linked to more severe SAS, while no significant association was found between buprenorphine doses and AHI, suggesting buprenorphine might be a better alternative for patients with SAS.
Guidelines for pre-operative skin antisepsis recommend using chlorhexidine in an alcohol-based solution. However, other antiseptics such as aqueous povidone-iodine or alcohol-based solutions continue to be used. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in caesarean section are rare and do not include all possible comparisons of antiseptics.

Materials And Methods: Patients with BPH-related lower urinary tract symptoms who were treated by PAE using methacryloxysulfolane-NBCA mixed with ethiodized oil (1:8 ratio) between September 2018 and January 2023 were retrospectively included. Vascular mapping was made using cone-beam computed tomography angiography.
