Awake Nasal Fiberoptic Intubation in Lateral Position for Severely Obese Patients with Anticipated Difficult Airway: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Obesity is a well-recognized risk factor for difficult intubation. To safely manage and overcome airway challenges in severely obese patients with a suspected difficult airway, awake fiberoptic intubation is recommended. We aimed to investigate the utility of awake nasal fiberoptic intubation in severely obese patients with suspected difficult airway while positioning them in the lateral decubitus position.

The Effect of a Single Intravenous Corticosteroid Administration on Pain after Knee Arthroscopy: A Prospective, Double-Blind, Non-Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background: Knee arthroscopy is a standard surgical procedure that is nowadays widely performed as day-case surgery. The aim of the study was to observe the effect of a single dose of intravenous corticosteroid on pain after undergoing knee arthroscopy for non-bony procedures.

Methods: A prospective, double-blind study design was adopted.

Perioperative Outcomes in COVID-19 Obstetric Patients Undergoing Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section: A Prospective Observational Study.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) adds more challenges to the perioperative management of parturients. The aim of this study is to examine perioperative adverse events and hemodynamic stability among COVID-19 positive parturients undergoing spinal anesthesia. This prospective observational investigation was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital in Jordan between January and June 2021, during which 31 COVID-19 positive parturients were identified.

Perioperative Cardiac Arrest: A 3-Year Prospective Study from a Tertiary Care University Hospital.

Purpose: Perioperative cardiac arrests (CAs) are a rare but catastrophic perioperative complication. Much about incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of such events are still unknown. This study investigated anesthesia-related CAs at a tertiary teaching hospital.

Minimizing the Number of Aeroallergen Extracts in Skin Prick Test in IgE-Mediated Allergic Disorders in Both Adults and Children in Jordan.

Background: Skin prick test (SPT) is the most common diagnostic procedure that is performed considering the history of aeroallergen sensitivity among patients. Moreover, it is important to identify the diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of allergen's number in skin prick testing in both adults and children.

Objective: The present study aims to detect the minimum number of allergens used in SPT to identify 95% of sensitized patients in both pediatric and adult age groups in Jordan.

Role of Potassium Ions Quantum Tunneling in the Pathophysiology of Phantom Limb Pain.

1) Background: multiple theories were proposed to explain the phenomenon of phantom limb pain (PLP). Nevertheless, the phenomenon is still shrouded in mystery. The aim of this study is to explore the phenomenon from a new perspective, where quantum tunneling of ions, a promising field in medical practice, might play a major role.
