Background: The administration of anesthesia during gastrointestinal endoscopy potentially contributes to post-anesthesia cognitive dysfunction (PACD), with detrimental impacts for cognitive function. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards PACD among patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy in Wenzhou region.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2023, and recruited individuals undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Background: The endovascular thrombectomy procedure has become an established standard of care in clinical practice for the management of acute ischemic stroke. However, the anesthesia modality on endovascular thrombectomy remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the impact of general anesthesia compared to sedation on immediate and 3-month neurological outcomes in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy.

Visceral pain is unbearable, and natural methods are needed to relieve it. Electroacupuncture is a relatively new technique that helps relieve visceral pain by improving blood circulation and providing energy to clogged parts of the body. However, its analgesic effect and mechanism in colorectal pain are still unknown.

- Disulfiram (DSF) combined with copper shows significant anti-cancer properties in osteosarcoma by inducing cell death through mitochondrial pathways.
- The study found that this combination disrupts mitochondrial functions, leading to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a decrease in glutathione, which inhibits cancer cell movement and invasion.
- The anti-tumor effects of DSF-Cu can be counteracted by specific inhibitors, suggesting that targeting the ROS/mitochondria pathway could be a valuable strategy for treating osteosarcoma and possibly other cancers.
Background: Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD), an extremely distressing complication secondary to an indwelling urinary catheterization, is frequently reported in patients with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), postoperatively. A prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind study was designed to assess the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) as a treatment for CRBD in patients undergoing TURP.
Methods: Seventy benign prostatic hyperplasia male patients undergoing TURP under general anesthesia requiring intraoperative urinary catheterization were enrolled for the trial.
A prediction model for hypoxemia during routine sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Clinics (Sao Paulo)
November 2018
Objectives: The current study was designed to assess the clinical predictors of hypoxemia and to develop a multivariable, predictive model for hypoxemia during routine gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Methods: In total, 308 patients were enrolled in the analysis. Demographic data, concurrent chronic disease information, anesthetic dose and Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scores were collected and analyzed statistically.
Objective: To observe the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on gastric emptying in patients undergoing selective surgery based on velocity of gastric emptying by ultrasonography.
Methods: A total of 75 patients with selective operation of subarachnoid block at lower limb in the afternoon were randomly assigned to a TEAS group, a sham group and a control group, 25 patients in each one. All the patients were provided with semi-fluid diet at 8 a.
Objective: To investigate the effect of ginsenoside Rb1 on cerebral infarction volume as well as IL-1 beta in the brain tissue and sera of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model rats.
Methods: The I/R rat model was established by using thread according to Zea-Longa. SD rats were randomly divided into five groups, i.
