Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of the peri-capsular nerve group (PENG) block as a pain management technique for elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures undergoing surgery.
- A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 110 patients to compare cumulative sufentanil consumption between the PENG block and a conventional opioid-based program during the first 48 hours post-surgery.
- Results showed that the PENG block group had significantly lower opioid usage and better pain scores compared to the control group, suggesting it could be a valuable addition to post-operative care for this demographic.
Importance: Postpartum depression (PPD) is one of the most common mental health conditions during the perinatal and postpartum periods, which can have adverse effects on both mother and infant.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of perioperative adjunctive esketamine administration after cesarean deliveries in the prevention of PPD.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted from January 1, 2022, to January 1, 2023, at Fujian Provincial Hospital among 298 women aged 18 to 40 years, with an American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I to III classification and singleton full-term pregnancies who were scheduled for elective cesarean deliveries.
Article Synopsis
- A new ultrasound-guided protocol for stellate ganglion block in rats significantly improves accuracy and reduces complications compared to traditional blind techniques.
- The study involved 56 rats divided into two groups, with one group receiving the block using ultrasound and the other using a blind injection method, and it measured outcomes like effective volume and complication rates.
- Results showed that the ultrasound-guided method required less lidocaine (0.040 ml) compared to the blind method (0.639 ml) and had a much lower incidence of complications, particularly regarding the brachial plexus and vagus nerve.
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a clinical syndrome of brain dysfunction secondary to sepsis, which is characterized by long-term neurocognitive deficits such as memory, attention, and executive dysfunction. However, the mechanisms underlying SAE remain unclear. By using transcriptome sequencing approach, we showed that hippocampal S100A9 was significantly increased in sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge.
