Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of erector spinae plane (ESP) and thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) blocks for pain management in lumbar spine surgeries.
- The study included six randomized controlled trials, revealing that the ESP block significantly reduces 24-hour opioid consumption and lower pain scores at one and twenty-four hours compared to the TLIP block.
- There was no significant difference in adverse events between the two techniques.
Vaccination, a historically effective public health intervention, has shielded millions from various diseases. Lessons from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) have improved COVID-19 vaccine development. Despite mRNA vaccines' efficacy, emerging variants pose challenges, exhibiting increased transmissibility, infectivity, and severity.

Cellular replacement therapy and genetic transfer in injured brains provide new pathways for treating human neurological illnesses. Current progress in the field focuses on the production of neurons and glial cells from many types of stem cells, such as embryonic, induced pluripotent, mesenchymal, and neural stem cells. This has led to a significant increase in research on brain transplantation treatments.

- Subclavian vein cannulation is crucial for central venous access, and this study compares two ultrasound-guided techniques: supraclavicular and infraclavicular approaches.
- A meta-analysis of seven studies involving 1,812 patients showed that the supraclavicular method had a higher first-pass success rate and shorter catheterization time than the infraclavicular method.
- Both approaches had similar complication rates, indicating that the supraclavicular approach is a more effective option for subclavian vein catheterization.
