Nausea and vomiting are common complications in patients undergoing caesarean delivery under regional anaesthesia. When experienced after surgery, they may delay recovery, reduce patient satisfaction and affect the bonding between mother and baby. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for prophylaxis and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have been employed with different degree of efficacy.

- Silver Russell syndrome (SRS) is a genetic disorder that leads to growth issues both before and after birth, including difficulties with feeding and overall growth.
- Some cases involve variants in the PLAG1 gene, which is linked to reduced levels of a growth factor called Insulin-like growth factor 2.
- The report discusses a 26-month-old girl who shows symptoms of SRS and has a new deletion of 2.1 Mb that includes the PLAG1 gene, supporting its connection to the disorder.
Introduction: Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) is a unique cause of syndromic, and often severe, limb length discrepancy (LLD). RSS causes growth retardation both in utero and postnatally, with asymmetry in limb length more noticeable as growth progresses throughout childhood and adolescent. We aim to present the largest cohort in the literature on limb lengthening in patients with RSS and to validate previous literature supporting faster bony consolidation in these patients with more robust data.

Results indicated that (a) the training workshop increased BST integrity to mastery levels for the majority of participants with varying levels of education, organizational positions, and training experience, (b) the training effects generalized to teaching an untrained skill, and (c) high levels of BST integrity maintained at follow-up 4 to 6 weeks after training for all 3 participants with whom probes were conducted. Moreover, participants indicated high levels of satisfaction with both the training workshop and BST as a training procedure.
