Local Infiltration Analgesia Versus Adductor Canal Block for Managing Pain After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Adductor canal block (ACB) and local infiltration analgesia (LIA) are frequently used to manage pain in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Purpose: To compare the difference in pain scores and opioid consumption between ACB and LIA for ancillary pain management in patients after ACLR.

Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3.

Managing acute pain with inhaled methoxyflurane in non-cancer patients: a review of the latest evidence.

Purpose Of The Review: Penthrox® (inhaled methoxyflurane, IMF) is an inhaled analgesic used for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain. It has various advantages including the capacity for being self-administered in the presence of healthcare providers (HCPs), rapid onset and offset, and having documented evidence for minimal adverse events post-use. In a variety of non-oncological settings such as pre-hospital transport and minor outpatient procedures, amongst others, IMF has significantly reduced acute pain.

Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) clinical practice guidelines for the prevention and management of acute radiation dermatitis: international Delphi consensus-based recommendations.

Acute radiation dermatitis is a frequent adverse effect of radiotherapy, but standardisation of care for acute radiation dermatitis is lacking. Due to the conflicting evidence and variability in current guidelines, a four-round Delphi consensus process was used to compile opinions of 42 international experts on care for people with acute radiation dermatitis on the basis of the evidence in existing medical literature. Interventions for acute radiation dermatitis prevention or management that reached at least 75% consensus were recommended for clinical use.
