Pericapsular Nerve Group block in the emergency department for hip fractures: a clinical protocol.

Isolated hip fractures incur significant mortality within 1 year of operative repair. Adequate analgesia is important in maintaining functional status and facilitating recovery. A multi-modal pain management strategy incorporating regional anesthesia may decrease the need for high-dose narcotics and promote faster recovery.

Enhanced Extraction and Separation with HPLC-DAD of Phenolic and Flavonoid Antioxidants from L. Leaves Using Tailored Terpenoid-Based NADES: Comparative Assessment of Antiradical and Antimicrobial Activities.

This study evaluates Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) for extracting antioxidant compounds from dried leaves, compared to traditional ethanol extraction. NADES were synthesized using terpenoids (menthol and β-citronellol) and organic acids (lactic and capric acid), characterized by favorable viscosity, density, and pH, ensuring liquid stability at ambient temperature. NADES extraction outperformed ethanol, with NADES 1 yielding the highest bioactive contents: 83.

"Distinct and Separate Issues": Examining US Adults' Attitudes Toward Abortion During COVID-19.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped people's healthcare experiences and access to healthcare, including abortion. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, some policymakers claimed that abortion is a nonessential service and should be restricted.

Epilepsy surgery in patients with Sturge-Weber Syndrome.

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a neurovascular condition caused by a mutation in the GNAQ gene. The most common neurological manifestations of SWS are epilepsy, developmental delay, and stroke-like episodes. Seizures are often the first neurological symptom, and most patients have drug-resistant epilepsy.
