Real-World Study of Definisse Threads for Facial Reshaping in Indian Patients: REDEFINE FACE Study.

Introduction: In recent years, thread lifting has gained popularity as a less invasive cosmetic surgery. It helps raise and realign sagging tissue. The newest thread type for thread lifting procedure is poly-lactic acid-polycaprolactone (PLCL) Definisse threads (RELIFE S.

Care of The Older Fighter: Position Statement of the Association of Ringside Physicians.

Older Fighters are defined as combat sports athletes older than 35 years, based on heightened medical risks and historical classification. Age-related changes to the neurological, cardiopulmonary, endocrinological, thermoregulatory, osmoregulatory, and musculoskeletal systems increase these athletes' risks for injury and may prolong their recovery. These age-related risks warrant special considerations for competition, licensure, prefight medical clearance, in-fight supervision, post-fight examination, and counseling regarding training practices and retirement from combat sports.

Evaluation of Quality of Recovery With Quality of Recovery-15 Score After Closed-Loop Anesthesia Delivery System-Guided Propofol Versus Desflurane General Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Transabdominal Robotic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: Robotic technique of surgery allows surgeons to perform complex procedures in difficult-to-access areas of the abdominal/pelvic cavity (eg, radical prostatectomy and radical hysterectomy) with improved access and precision approach. At the same time, automated techniques efficiently deliver propofol total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with lower anesthetic consumption. As both above are likely to bring benefit to the patients, it is imperative to explore their effect on postanesthesia recovery.

Transgender competition in combat sports: Position statement of the Association of ringside physicians.

The Association of Ringside Physicians (ARP) is committed to the concept of fair competition. It advocates for two equally skilled and matched athletes to keep bouts fair, competitive, entertaining, and, most importantly, safe for all combatants. Numerous studies have proven that transgender women may have a competitive athletic advantage against otherwise matched cis-gender women.

Curriculum Innovations: Developing an EEG Workshop for Hands-on Training in Electroencephalography During Resident Rotation in Clinical Neurophysiology.

A 3-hour hands-on EEG workshop was conducted as a part of resident rotation in clinical neurophysiology to determine its feasibility and educational value for neurology residents, medical students, and EEG technologists, with the learning objectives of motivating interest in clinical electroencephalography, enhancing ability to recognize a normal EEG and identify physiological and non-physiological artifacts, and enhancing teaching, organizational and communication skills of EEG technologists. The workshop included a demonstration of EEG electrode placement according to the 10-20 System on a resident volunteer by the EEG technologist. Activation procedures (photic stimulation and hyperventilation) were demonstrated to the residents during the 25-minute recording.

Automated Closed-Loop Propofol Anesthesia Versus Desflurane Inhalation Anesthesia in Obese Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: A Comparative Randomized Analysis of Recovery Profile.

Introduction: Precision general anesthesia (GA) techniques that minimize the presence of residual anesthetic and facilitate recovery, are desirable in patients with morbid obesity. Automated administration of propofol total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), which facilitates precision propofol delivery by factoring in continuous patient input variable (bispectral index) to establish a closed feedback loop system, may help mitigate concerns related to propofol's lipid solubility and adverse accumulation kinetics in patients with morbid obesity. This randomized study evaluated the recovery of patients with morbid obesity undergoing bariatric surgery under propofol TIVA automated by a closed-loop anesthesia delivery system (CLADS) versus desflurane GA.

The Relationship Between Epilepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and Treatment Outcome.

Both epilepsy and obstructive sleep apnea are common conditions and hence frequently coexist in a given patient. A complex bidirectional relationship exists between the 2 conditions where the presence of one affects the other. Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure may improve seizure control in medically refractory epilepsy patients, leading to improved quality of life.

Malnutrition-Inflammation Score: A Valid Tool to Assess Nutritional Status in Patient with End-stage Renal Disease.

Nutritional assessment is a basic and necessary process in the nutritional management of dialysis patients. Malnutrition is a prevalent complication in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). The study aimed to evaluate its relationship with the duration of dialysis, demographic and socioeconomic profile of HD patients, and to assess malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) in HD patients.

Neuroimaging in professional combat sports: consensus statement from the association of ringside physicians.

Professional boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts (MMA) are popular sports with substantial risk for both acute and chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although rare, combat sports athletes have died in the ring or soon after the completion of a bout. Deaths in these instances are usually the result of an acute catastrophic neurological event such as an acute subdural hematoma (SDH).

A Rare Case of Familiar Hypertension Presenting with Hypertensive Encephalopathy in an Elderly Patient: A Diagnostic Dilemma: A Presentation of Liddle's Syndrome due to Novel Mutation in SCNN1G Gene.

Liddle's syndrome is a rare cause of secondary hypertension (HTN). Basic characteristics of this disease are HTN, reduced concentration of aldosterone and renin activity, as well as increased excretion of potassium, leading to hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. The cause of Liddle syndrome is missense or frame shift mutations in SCNN1A, SCNN1B, or SCNN1G genes that encode epithelial sodium channel subunits.

Incidence of urethrocutaneous fistula following distal hypospadias repair with and without caudal epidural block: A randomized pilot study.

Introduction: Recent investigations have raised a doubt regarding the safety of Caudal epidural block (CEB) administered to children with distal hypospadias undergoing tubularised incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty. The primary objective of the study was to investigate whether there is any association between CEB and the occurrence of urethrocutaneous fistula (UCF) in the postoperative period.

Methods: Fifty ASA 1 and 2 children with distal hypospadias aged 0-8 years were randomly allocated to CEB group (GA with CEB, 0.
