Adhering to established guidelines, regional anesthesia (RA) and pain interventions are essential for preventing or minimizing the risk of complications. This study examines neurological complications that may arise when RA or pain interventions are performed without adherence to the clinical practice guidelines. This article aimed to emphasize the relationship between deviations from standards of care in RA and neurological outcomes.

Given the rising incidence of HPV-associated cancer, particularly in India, this holds significance in elucidating the molecular basis of these diseases. Structural validation of HPV16 and 18 oncoproteins E6 and E7 was conducted using computational tools, while gene expression profiles related to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) were analyzed to assess differential expression.

Methods: The eligibility criteria for this systematic review were patients who had undergone cataract or clear lens extraction and had experienced residual refractive error. All study designs were considered for inclusion and non-English publications, non-peer reviewed articles, books, and systematic reviews were excluded.
Observational study on the prescription practices of family and pulmonary physicians for airway clearance devices in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease management.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the preferences and clinical practices of physicians in Saudi Arabia regarding airway clearance devices for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- A survey conducted with 445 physicians revealed that most prefer Flutter and Acapella devices, but 12.6% were unfamiliar with any device.
- Despite the preferences, there is a notable lack of prescribing history for these devices, indicating a need for increased awareness and integration into COPD treatment practices.
Introduction Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an uncommon cancer globally, with a low incidence in Western countries. However, this rate increases significantly in some endemic regions, including the Middle East. Although studies have evaluated the physical health outcomes, treatment efficacy, and short-term effects, long-term effects - especially quality of life (QoL) - have been neglected.
