Impact of deep neuromuscular blockade on intraoperative NOL-guided remifentanil requirement during desflurane anesthesia in laparoscopic colorectal surgeries: A randomised controlled trial.
J Clin Anesth
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB) affects pain and opioid use during laparoscopic colorectal surgery compared to moderate NMB.
- 100 patients were randomly divided into deep and moderate NMB groups, with the deep group requiring significantly less remifentanil (an opioid) during surgery.
- Results indicated that deep NMB improved surgical conditions, evidenced by a better Leiden Surgical Rating Scale and lower intra-abdominal pressure, while postoperative pain and analgesic use were similar to the moderate group.
Background: Black students and residents experience racism in medical school. This qualitative study documents Black students' and residents' experiences of racism using Critical Race Theory (CRT) and explores their coping mechanisms using the theatrical metaphor.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with four Black medical students and residents (two medical students and two residents) studying in Montréal and analyzed their experiences through counter-stories.
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) represents an important public health concern in many developing countries, including Africa. Transmission of HEV to humans by contaminated drinking water is the most important mode of transmission in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to assess the presence of HEV in the environment in Cameroon through molecular analysis of sewage samples.

The aims of this study were to assess the influence of a peer-led observership program at the Université de Montréal on the career choices of preclinical medical students and to determine the factors associated with a positive observership experience.
Methods: We used a quasi-experimental convergent mixed-methods questionnaire design.
