Distraction Therapies for Office-Based Otolaryngology Procedures Performed on the Upper Airway.
Clin Otolaryngol
December 2024
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of auditory and visual distraction interventions on patient discomfort, pain and anxiety during office-based otolaryngologic upper airway procedures.
Data Sources: Literature searches were done through Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Lilacs, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature.
Review Methods: The protocol was registered in PROSPERO on August 17th 2022, under Registration number CRD42020204354.
Article Synopsis
- * A neutral Np(VI) complex was successfully used to establish a reversible 1-electron redox couple in both protic and aprotic organic solvents, characterized through electrochemical and spectroscopic methods.
- * The research shows that hydrogen bonding with oxo groups and water stabilizes the Np(V) species, supporting the findings about the reduction process and suggesting a unique redox behavior in this system.
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that affects connective tissue throughout the body due to mutations in the gene. Individuals with MFS display symptoms in different organs, particularly in the vasculature, but the mechanisms of this multi-system dysfunction are still under investigation. There is still a gap in our understanding of the impact of monogenic connective tissue aberrations on the brain.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used microneurography to measure muscle sympathetic nerve activity in six healthy adults during both resting conditions and after administering dexmedetomidine, an α-adrenergic agonist.
- * Findings indicate that increased sympathetic neuronal activity (like AP discharge and recruitment patterns) is positively correlated with higher levels of NPY and norepinephrine, highlighting their role in maintaining vascular health.
Background: Successful ovulation is essential for natural conception and fertility. Defects in the ovulatory process are associated with various conditions of infertility or subfertility in women. However, our understanding of the intra-ovarian biochemical mechanisms underlying this process in women has lagged compared to our understanding of animal models.
