The short term impact of radiofrequency ablative techniques and peripheral nerve block on thermoregulation in mouse models.

This study investigated the impact of multiple nerve block methods (local anesthesia, conventional radiofrequency thermocoagulation [CRF], and pulsed radiofrequency [PRF]) on thermoregulation. Focusing on hypothalamic function, the effects of local anesthesia, CRF, and PRF on central and peripheral temperatures were analyzed and compared. Our findings revealed that all three nerve block groups cause a decrease in central temperature, with the CRF group exhibiting the most pronounced effect.

Effect of blood sample storage period on d-ROMs and BAP test data.

The Diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP) tests can easily and rapidly measure the state of oxidative stress in the blood; they have been used to determine the relationship between oxidative stress and various diseases. However, the extent to which the blood storage period affects the analyzed data remains unclear. In clinical practice, the storage conditions for samples after blood collection vary.

Analysis of Maternal and Fetal Oxidative Stress During Delivery with Epidural Analgesia.

Childbirth is a stressful event for mothers, and labor epidural analgesia (LEA) may reduce mental stress. Mental stressors include labor pain, fear, and anxiety, which induce oxidative stress. In this study, we focused on oxidative stress during delivery and conducted a cross-sectional analysis of maternal and fetal oxidative stress.

Fever in childbirth: a mini-review of epidural-related maternal fever.

Fever during childbirth, which is often observed in clinical settings, is characterized by a temperature of 38°C or higher, and can occur due to infectious and non-infectious causes. A significant proportion of non-infectious causes are associated with epidural-related maternal fever during vaginal delivery. Therapeutic interventions are required because fever has adverse effects on both mother and newborn.

[Tracheal Resection and Primary Anastomosis for Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Using an Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation].

We report a case of tracheal resection and primary anastomosis for adenoid cystic carcinoma using an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A 45-year-old female was referred to our hospital because of a tracheal tumor that occupied most of the tracheal lumen. In case of airway obstruction by the tracheal tumor during anesthesia and operation, we decided to use ECMO before induction of general anesthesia.
