Breast cancer surgeries offer challenges in perioperative pain management, especially in the presence of inherent risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS). Inappropriate opioid consumption was speculated as one of the reasons. Through this study, the influence of objective pain monitoring through a nociception level monitor (NOL) on perioperative course in breast surgeries was investigated.

In September 2021, our institution implemented a change from fentanyl 100-μg vials to 50-μg preloaded syringes in our operating rooms. The objective of this study was aimed at assessing the association of the fentanyl product change on reducing medication waste and the amount of fentanyl administered during surgery.

Methods: A United States of America (USA)-based single-center prospective observational study of 44 female and four male patients aged 3-21 years old presenting to a Pediatric Emergency Department in New Jersey with clinically suspected UTI. Urine specimens were primarily collected via midstream voiding.
Article Synopsis
- Endodontic and periodontal tissues are interconnected, and pathologies in one can impact the other, leading to endo-perio lesions (EPLs) that were the focus of this study.
- The research involved analyzing 2,170 teeth from Indian adults over 18, considering patient histories, dental examinations, and conducting radiographs to diagnose EPLs while using statistical methods to assess risk factors and relationships.
- The study found a 29.49% prevalence of EPLs, pinpointing associations with age for different types of lesions, noting non-vital pulps in type 3 lesions, and identifying faulty restorations and occupational trauma as key risk factors.
Article Synopsis
- The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has found a rise in vector-borne diseases such as malaria, Lyme disease, dengue, and West Nile virus in recent years.
- If control measures aren't improved, these diseases are projected to become even more common.
- The review article discusses the epidemiology, symptoms, and treatment options for these diseases, highlighting their growing presence in the U.S. and globally.
